Abstract: A building system operates to receive a first building health indicator indicating a health level of the building and a second building health indicator indicating the health level of the building, the first building health indicator generated based on a first methodology defined by a first entity and the second building health indicator generated based on a second methodology defined by a second entity different from the first entity, the first building health indicator and the second building health indicator generated based on building data. The building system operates to generate user interface data configured to cause a user device to display a user interface indicating the first building health indicator and the second building health indicator together on a display of the user device.

Abstract: A carbon reduction system for a building, the carbon reduction system can include one or more memory devices storing instructions thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive operational data for the building, the operational data comprising at least one of current or historical operational data, determine, for the building, a baseline value for carbon emissions based on the operational data, and establish, for the building, a carbon reduction goal to improve carbon emissions for the building from the baseline value for carbon emissions, the carbon reduction goal comprising a target value for carbon emissions and a timeframe to achieve the target value for carbon emissions.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide for identification and visualization of nerves proximate a surgical site within the brain during brain surgery. The system includes a nerve monitoring system that includes a tool suitable for insertion into the brain of a patient, response sensors suitable for mounting on the skin of the patient, a nerve monitoring control system. The system also includes a fluoroscopic imaging system used to obtain fluoroscopic images of the brain and the tool during the surgery. The nerve monitoring system is interoperable with the fluoroscopic imaging system to determine the location of the tool tip corresponding a signal from the response sensors, and present a screen element in a corresponding location in the fluoroscopic images.

Abstract: A system and method for authenticating identity during a financial transaction based, in part, on dynamic biometric factors such as body temperature, heart rhythm, blood pressure, blood sugar, vein pattern, skin pore pattern, and voice recognition. The biometric values are captured, aggregated, and patterned over time to create a unique biometric profile. When a transaction is initiated, current biometric values are captured and compared to the biometric patterns, and a biometric authentication determination is made based on the results. An overall identity authentication score is generated based on a combination of the biometric authentication determination and other identity authentication determinations such as a purchase pattern authentication determination or a location authentication determination. An identity authentication determination is made based on the overall identity authentication score and communicated to the merchant.

Abstract: A cannula system and method for accessing a blood mass in the brain. The system comprises a cannula with a camera mounted on the proximal end of the cannula with a view into the cannula lumen and the surgical field below the lumen. A prism, reflector or other suitable optical element is oriented between the camera and the lumen of the cannula to afford the camera a view into the cannula while minimizing obstruction of the lumen. The system may also include an obturator with a small diameter shaft and a large diameter tip which is optically transmissive, so that a surgeon inserting or manipulating the assembly can easily see that the obturator tip is near brain tissue (which is white) or blood (which is red).

Abstract: A method includes generating a graphical user interface including a graph having graphical elements representing values of a sustainability metric for various time periods, adding instances of a first icon aligned with first graphical elements representing first values of the sustainability metric exceeding a baseline or target value of the sustainability metric, adding instances of a second icon aligned with second graphical elements of representing second values of the sustainability metric less than the baseline or target value of the sustainability metric by less than a threshold amount, and abstaining from adding instances of the first icon or the second icon aligned with third graphical elements representing third values of the sustainability metric less than the baseline or target value of the sustainability metric by more than the threshold amount.

Abstract: A retractor, distractor, and camera system with the camera system and/or distractor configured to provide releasable attachment of the camera system to the distractor, and also provide for rotation of the camera assembly relative to the distractor to allow for adjusting the aim of the camera viewing axis to obtain an image of the surgical workspace established by the retractor.

Abstract: A system can include one or more memory devices storing instructions thereon. The instructions can, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive emission information corresponding to a plurality of buildings associated with an entity, generate an emission value for the entity based on emission criteria and the emission information, identify a plurality of emission impacts that resulted in the emission value, and generate a user interface for display via a display device. The user interface can indicate the emission value, the plurality of emission impacts, and a plurality of actions to adjust the emission value or at least one emission impact of the plurality of emission impacts.

Abstract: A system can include one or more memory devices that can store instructions thereon. The instructions can, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive emission information corresponding to a location, extract a plurality of emission sources associated with the location, determine an emission value for the location, identify a plurality of emission impacts for the plurality of emission sources that resulted in the emission value, and generate a user interface for display via a display device.

Abstract: An introducer needle may include a proximal end, a distal tip, and a needle lumen extending therebetween. The introducer needle may include a wall defining the needle lumen, a first notch formed through the wall, and a second notch formed through the wall. A catheter system may include a catheter adapter, a catheter extending distally from the distal end of the catheter adapter, a flash chamber coupled to the introducer needle, and the introducer needle, which may extend through the catheter. The first and second notches and the flash chamber may facilitate pressure-driven blood flow into the catheter for improved flashback and detection of transfixation when the catheter is primed prior to insertion into vasculature of a patient or otherwise.

Abstract: A method executable by a building management system includes generating a graphical user interface that includes a bar graph comprising a plurality of bars representing resource consumption values for a plurality of time periods and a line overlaid on the bar graph and representing a baseline or target resource consumption. The method also includes comparing the resource consumption values to the baseline or target resource consumption, adding a first icon aligned with a first bar of the plurality of bars in response to determining that a first resource consumption value represented by the first bar is within a threshold of the baseline or target resource consumption and less than the baseline or target resource consumption, and adding a second icon aligned with the first bar in response to determining that the first resource consumption value exceeds the baseline. The second icon is different than the first icon.

Abstract: A cannula suitable for use in minimally invasive surgery is improved with a highly polished and very smooth luminal wall and/or LED's or other light sources focused at particular angles relative to the axis of the cannula. The devices provide for improved lighting and/or reduced lighting requirements for cannulas used for minimally invasive surgery.

Abstract: Devices for localizing an intracerebral hematoma or blood mass in brain tissue. The devices include an elongate probe a color sensors and a light emitter on the distal end of the probe.
