Abstract: A composite scaffold having a highly porous interior with increased surface area and void volume is surrounded by a flexible support structure that substantially maintains its three-dimensional shape under tension and provides mechanical reinforcement during repair or reconstruction of soft tissue while simultaneously facilitating regeneration of functional tissue.

Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods for authorization are provided. A system for distributed authorization includes a resource server which stores a protected resource of a resource owner and a service provider client device which provides a service which uses the protected resource. The system also includes a federated privacy exchange system configured to provide an authorization service for allowing the service provider client device to access the protected resource according to permissions data. The federated privacy exchange system includes a privacy-respecting authorization server configured to store a resource definition for the protected resource, and an agent device configured to provide an agent interface for managing credentials and controlling permissions and policies at the authorization server and store protected data including any one or more of account identifier data, authenticator data, resource server relationship data, and permissions data.

Abstract: An underwater light including a programmable controller and a replaceable light-emitting diode (LED) printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) is provided. The light includes a controller PCBA in communication with the LED PCBA, and a connector for connecting the controller PCBA to the LED PCBA. An optically-transparent potting compound encapsulates the LED PCBA, and the LED PCBA can be safely replaced by removing a rear housing of the underwater light.

Abstract: A motor drive or bus supply power conversion system includes a rectifier with at least one rectifier switch module for rectifying AC input power. A DC bus is connected to the rectifier and supplies DC output power. An optional inverter is connected to the DC bus and includes at least one inverter switch module for inverting the DC bus voltage to an AC output power. The at least one rectifier switch module and the at least one inverter switch module each include a base plate and a housing connected to the base plate. The housing defines an interior space that contains at least one semiconductor switch. A protective cover layer includes a corrosion protection material and divides the interior space into an inner sub-space located between the base plate and the protective cover layer and an outer sub-space located between the protective cover layer and the housing.
