Abstract: A cleaning robot may determine a three-dimensional model of a physical environment based on data collected from one or more sensors. The cleaning robot may then identify a surface within the physical environment to clean. Having identified that surface, the robot may autonomously navigate to a location proximate to the surface, position an ultraviolet light source in proximity to the surface, and activate the ultraviolet light source for a period of time.

Abstract: Techniques for improved resupply for medical items are provided. An event relating to resupply of one or more medical items for a patient is identified. The resupply requires approval from a physician. Resupply of the one or more medical items is automatically initiated, based on receiving an electronic indication of approval for the resupply from the physician. The indication of approval is received from an electronic healthcare system for the physician based on an automatically generated request for approval sent to the electronic healthcare system for the physician using an application programming interface (API). An electronic notification of the initiated resupply is transmitted to an electronic system associated with the patient. The one or more medical items are used to treat the patient. The electronic system associated with the patient is compatible with the electronic notification.

Abstract: Techniques for improved resupply for medical items are provided. An event relating to resupply of one or more medical items for a patient is identified. The resupply requires approval from a physician. A request for electronic approval of the resupply is transmitted, based on the event, to an electronic healthcare system for the physician. This includes dynamically generating an electronic document relating to the required approval, providing the electronic document to the electronic healthcare system for the physician, and receiving an electronic message response from the electronic healthcare system for the physician indicating approval for the request. The electronic healthcare system for the physician is compatible with the request for electronic approval of the resupply. Resupply of the one or more medical items is initiated based on the response. The one or more medical items are used to treat the patient.

Abstract: An interchangeable electro-mechanical lock core for use with a lock device having a locked state and an unlocked state is disclosed. The interchangeable electromechanical lock core may include a moveable plug having a first position relative to a lock core body which corresponds to the lock device being in the locked state and a second position relative to a lock core body which corresponds to the lock device being in the unlocked state.

Abstract: Provided is a compound of formula (I) in which Ar1, R1, U, V, W, X, and p are as described herein. Also provided are methods of using a compound of formula (I), including a method of treating cancer, a method of treating a patient with cancer cells resistant to an anti-cancer agent, and a method of inhibiting lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) and/or lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) activity in a cell.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fixture or device which is particularly adapted for installation within a confined compartment of an aircraft, such as a lavatory, galley or cockpit, and which emits UVC within safe limits, i.e., within prescribed safe wavelengths, irradiance, and times (below the ‘Actinic Dose’) while the compartment is occupied, to continuously disinfect the interior air and prevent transmission of not only viruses, but pathogens and the like. The device is preferably a triangular prism which houses a metal core pcBoard, a controller pcBoard and at least one support frame which are fabricated from a heat dissipating metal, as is the hypotenuse of the prism.

Abstract: A vehicle powertrain may include a differential assembly having a housing disposed partially in a lubrication reservoir. The differential assembly translates rotational motion of a pinion gear to a pair of axle shafts extending from the housing and permits different rotational speeds of the axle shafts. One or more components of the differential assembly, e.g., one or more side gears, may include a plurality of radial grooves configured to distribute a lubricant from the lubrication reservoir while the first side gear rotates.

Abstract: The use of a magnetic particle based “PUF” (Physically Unclonable Function) disk, when read by magnetic sensor(s), as a positional encoder is described. It is often necessary to include a linear or rotary encoder within a device for tracking motor movements, or to enable a closed-loop control algorithm on the motor system. These randomly dispersed magnetic particle disks can be used as a positional encoder, where the speed of movement and the direction of movement may be monitored.
