Abstract: Embodiments provided herein facilitate the monitoring and management of regular healthcare tasks for patients in a healthcare system, e.g., “nurse rounding” tasks. These embodiments include providing a button or other activator that is associated with a patient and a timer that is associated with the patient and that represents the time since a rounding task was last performed for the patient. Activation of the activator by a nurse or other healthcare provider causes the patient's timer to reset. The status of the timers for a number of patients can be provided on a display, e.g., at a nurse station, to allow nurses or other healthcare providers to know at a glance which patients are currently, or likely to soon become, in need of another rounding care visit. The activator output can also be automatically registered in order to monitor performance of rounding tasks for the patient over time.

Abstract: A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. As the user designs apparel, the system provides feedback as to what designs can be used, such as avoiding technical constraints with their designs.

Abstract: Indigo-dyed garments are treated with an anti-ozone agent to prevent ozone-related degradation of the garments before laser finishing. Without treatment, the garments can exhibit color loss (e.g., color change or fading) from exposure to ozone in the atmosphere. The indigo-dyed garments with anti-ozone treatment can serve as base templates in a laser finishing process flow. The anti-ozone treatment of the base templates can include a rinse including an ascorbic acid or vitamin C constituent during a base preparation process. Then quantities of these base templates can manufactured and stored for periods of time without exhibiting ozone-related degradation effects.

Abstract: A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture.

Abstract: A wearable device for attachment to the ear of a user can comprise an earpiece including a speaker and a body section including a hook for attachment about the ear of a user. The length of the earpiece can be adjusted. The earpiece can rotate relative to the body section. The point of rotation can be located within a region defined by the perimeter of the concha of the ear of a user. The wearable device can comprise magnetic elements configured to magnetically couple through the user's ear to retain the wearable device in place. A magnetometer which is configured and arranged to detect a degree of magnetic coupling between the magnetic elements is disclosed.

Abstract: An on-demand manufacturing of apparel system includes online customization and ordering of garments, previewing of the garments, manufacturing including laser finishing of garments, and delivery to the customer. Laser finishing of apparel products reduces finishing cost, lowers carrying costs, increases productivity, shortens time to market, be more reactive to trends, reduces product constraints, reduces lost sales and dilution, and more. Fabric templates can be used to produce a multitude of laser finishes. Operational efficiency is improved.

Abstract: In a general aspect, an anchor includes a tubular body that is formed at least in part of cementitious material and has open and closed ends. The anchor also includes a pad eye coupled to the tubular body and configured to couple to a mooring line. The tubular body includes a base wall, a perimeter wall, and a shear key. The base wall defines the closed end of the tubular body and has first and second surfaces on opposite sides of the base wall. The perimeter wall extends from the first surface of the base wall to the open end of the tubular body, and the shear key extends from the second surface of the base wall. The shear key is configured to penetrate an underwater floor and resist a lateral displacement of the anchor along the underwater floor when penetrated therein.

Abstract: A meter electronics (20) for using a Reynolds number to correct a mass flow rate measurement of a fluid is provided. The meter electronics (20) comprises an interface (401) configured to communicatively couple to a sensor assembly (10) containing the fluid and receive sensor signals from the sensor assembly (10) and a processing system (402) communicatively coupled to the interface (401). The processing system (402) is configured to store a Reynolds number-correction relationship, wherein the Reynolds number-correction relationship relates Reynolds number values with Reynolds number-based correction values, calculate a Reynolds number of the fluid using a measured mass flow rate value of the fluid, and determine a Reynolds number-based correction value using the Reynolds number and the Reynolds number-correction relationship.

Abstract: System for guiding an instrument within a vascular network of a patient are disclosed. In some embodiments, the system receives a medical image from a medical imaging device and identifies a distal tip and a direction the instrument in the image.
