Abstract: A filter arrangement for securing to a filter head includes a housing having a surrounding wall defining an interior volume; an open mouth providing access to the interior volume, and an end opposite of the open mouth. Filter media is within the interior volume. A ring is secured to the wall adjacent to the mouth. An exterior of the ring has mounting threads to mount with the filter head when the filter arrangement is secured to the filter head. A first seal member is against the ring to create a seal with the filter head, when the filter arrangement is secured to the head. A seam is over an end portion of the ring to axially secure the ring to the housing. A groove is within the ring and facing outward holding a second seal member. A seal is formed between and against the seam and the second seal member.

Abstract: A modular electrical equipment storage assembly utilizes multiple weatherproof enclosures that store electronic or non-electronic equipment. Enclosures have modular configurations that enables enclosures to detachably attach to each other in multiple arrangements and in series. Enclosures also mount to a vertical pole while attached to each other, or in spaced-apart arrangements. Enclosures detachably attach in: a two-sided, three-sided, four-sided or multi-sided modular arrangement, in which any wall of any enclosure can join to an adjacent wall, or pole. Enclosures have a three-sided mounting surface, right and left sidewalls, and a three-sided front, top and bottom panel. The mounting surface has multiple mount holes and fastening holes that enable passage of fastening mechanisms for mounting enclosures to each other and/or pole. Mount holes and inter-connection apertures can be mirrored to enable enclosures to attach in a geometric configuration.

The control system includes a processor configured to determine that the patient transport apparatus is traveling on an inclined floor surface, monitor the user interface for changes in user engagement by a user, and operate the drive system to decelerate the drive member to one of a plurality of positions based on the changes in user engagement.

Abstract: A method for treating pain or discomfort in a patient is disclosed. The method comprises stimulating a cranial nerve with an electrical signal. The pain or discomfort may be a withdrawal symptom. The cranial nerve may be in an auricular area of the patient. The cranial nerve may be cranial nerve V, cranial nerve VII, cranial nerve IX, cranial nerve X, or branches of greater and lesser occipital nerves thereof and their associated neurovascular bundles. The withdrawal symptom may result from cessation of an opioid. The method may further comprise administering a secondary drug treats one or more of the withdrawal symptoms and addiction. The secondary drug may be administered about one day to about one week after initiating the stimulating step.

Abstract: A system for assisting a rescuer in providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) chest compressions includes a motion sensor configured to generate motion sensor signals indicative of chest motion and a defibrillator. The defibrillator includes a processor and a display screen configured to provide CPR feedback and defibrillation information. The processor is configured to receive the motion sensor signals, analyze the motion sensor signals for features characteristic of a chest compression delivery type to distinguish between chest compression delivery types comprising manual compression, non-automated ACD, and automated ACD, and selectively provide the CPR feedback at the display screen based on an identification of the chest compression delivery type such that the CPR feedback includes a plurality of CPR parameters for the manual compression delivery type and remove at least portions of the CPR parameters from the display screen for the non-automated ACD and the automated ACD compression delivery types.

Abstract: A head unit system for controlling an object includes a head unit device that include shear thickening fluid (STF) and a chamber configured to contain the STF. The chamber further includes a set of gates between a front channel and a back channel. The set of gates includes a bypass opening set. The head unit device further includes a piston housed at least partially radially within the chamber. The set of gates is configured to control flow of the STF between the front channel and the back channel to control rotational movement of the object. An accessory module assists in control of the object.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions comprising a bacterium or a metabolite thereof for enhancing mitochondrial and/or peroxisomal function.

Abstract: A yarn monitoring system for textile machines uses sensors to indicate yarn over-tensioning and breakage. The sensors within eyelets monitor the passage of the yarn and send new signals to the controller. The eyelets, each with a sensor, are within a body containing a circuit board which is in constant communication with the sensors and software contained within a controller. The controller is in constant communication with the textile machine. The software contains an acceptable operational zone for new signal data and control limits establishing the lowest new signal data reading permitted for the yarn. The user establishes set points for the control limits, and reaching these set points is an indication of over-tension or yarn breakage. To prevent unnecessary shut down of the machine, the software averages the new signal data and, when the new signal average remains out of the established set points, initiates communication to the textile machine.

Abstract: A parent bore cylinder block of an internal combustion, opposed-piston engine includes cooling passages that are formed using a 3-D printed casting core. The casting core can include portions that are ceramic. The parent bore cylinder block can include multiple cylinders, each cylinder with cooling passages and turbulence inducing features in those cooling passages, particularly surrounding the central portions of the cylinders.

Abstract: An enhanced threat disposition analysis technique is provided. In response to receipt of a security threat identified in an alert, a threat disposition score (TDS) is retrieved. The TDS is generated from a machine learning scoring model that is built from information about historical security threats, including historical disposition of one or more alerts associated with the historical security threats. The TDS is based in part on an effectiveness of a prior calculated TDS to predict a particular historical disposition associated with the alert. The system augments an alert to include the threat disposition score, optionally together with a confidence level, to generate an enriched alert. The enriched alert is then presented to the security analyst for handling directly. Preferably, the machine learning model is updated continuously as the system handles security threats, thereby increasing the predictive benefit of the TDS scoring.
