Abstract: A LIDAR unit includes a housing defining a cavity. The LIDAR unit further include a plurality of emitters disposed on a circuit board within the cavity. Each of the emitters emits a laser beam along a transmit path. The LIDAR system further includes a first telecentric lens assembly positioned within the cavity and along the transmit path such that the laser beam emitted from each of the plurality of emitters passes through the first telecentric lens assembly. The LIDAR further includes a second telecentric lens assembly positioned within the cavity and along a receive path such that a plurality of reflected laser beams entering the cavity pass through the second telecentric lens assembly. The first telecentric lens assembly and the second telecentric lens assembly each include a field flattening lens and at least one other lens.

Abstract: A system for health services is provided. When a provider partners with the system the provider is assisted with the creation of an introduction video explaining their practice. The provider may also be assisted in the creation of videos that correspond to the top conditions or diseases treated by the provider as well as the top medicines that are prescribed. When a patient schedules a health service, the patient is initially provided the introduction video for the provider. During the health service, the system collects the health data entered or spoken by the provider. Based on the monitored data, the system automatically recommends relevant videos or content that may be included in a report for the patient. After the health service is completed, the system may further assist the provider in creating a video that explains the diagnosis and recommended treatment regiments.

Abstract: An integrated full-dive virtual reality unit includes a three-dimensional virtual reality visualization headset; a stationary platform that enables 360° locomotion in the virtual reality environment; a tactile interaction device; a spatial hand tracking device; a motion detection device; a multi-sensory body suit; and a computer. The computer is electronically connected to and integrates data from the three-dimensional virtual reality visualization device, the stationary platform, the tactile interaction device, the motion detection device, and the multi-sensory body suit. Multiple units are integrated in a shared interoperable virtual reality environment by providing the units and virtual reality environment content; synchronizing, handling SDK versions for, and managing tracking capabilities of the hardware; and managing network traffic. Operators running distributed experiments in a cloud computing environment can virtually experience and resolve crises to prevent their occurrence in the real world.

Abstract: A data analytics system to authenticate and authorize access to multiple sources of data for access to the multiple data sources for one or more requesting devices. The system may duplicate and/or access rule sets included in the metadata of the corresponding data source and read identifiers of authorized users maintained by each of the multiple data sources. The access rule sets and authenticated identifiers may be synchronized or otherwise correlated to requesting device identifiers maintained by the data analytics system such that, as requests to access data obtained from one or more of the multiple data sources are received, the system may control access to or otherwise manage the requesting devices interactions with the data from the multiple data systems, reducing the authorization and authentication actions needed to be taken or executed by the requesting devices and the data sources.

Abstract: An assembly is configured to position a peristaltic tube with respect to a linear peristaltic pump drive of an infusion pump. The assembly can include a peristaltic tube, first and second tube couplers, a frame, first and second securement plates, a free-flow prevention arm, and a biasing mechanism. The frame can include a snap-fit tab configured to releasably secure the assembly to an assembly receptacle of the infusion pump. The free-flow prevention arm can be selectively movable between a free-flow preventing position and a free-flow allowing position. A latching mechanism can be ergonomically manipulable to latch the free-flow prevention arm in a free-flow allowing position, and to unlatch the free-flow prevention arm such that the biasing mechanism is able to bias the free-flow prevention arm to the free-flow preventing position.

Abstract: Moving an individual with limited mobility from one seated position to another requires a significant effort from the caregiver and can expose the individual and the caregiver to several injuries. The rotational support apparatus is useful in safely assisting individuals with limited mobility to move from one seated position to another with minimal effort. The apparatus is lightweight and portable. The base of the apparatus rotates so the caregiver can easily move the position of the individual. The base can be coupled with a stabilizing device that the individual with limited mobility can hold on to while the caregiver rotates them to another position.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a new series of compounds exhibiting high fluorescence quantum yields in the solid state. In one embodiment, the compounds include a series of 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylgermoles with the same or different 1,1-substituents. In another embodiment, substituted germafluorenes, germa-fluoresceins/rhodamines, and germapins are described. These germanium heterocycles possess ideal photophysical and thermostability properties, which makes them excellent candidates for chemical or biological sensors, host materials for electroluminescent devices and solar cells, and emissive and/or electron-transport layer components in organic light emitting diode devices.

Abstract: A family of resonators and other devices which employ virtual electrodes using pixel based projection across a gap onto a material. In many embodiments, the pixel is projected onto a piezoelectric material, such as quartz crystal, by an integrated circuit die placed opposite a face of the crystal. The die projects a single pixel of electromagnetic energy onto the crystal, which vibrates and produces its own electromagnetic energy which is received by the pixel. Pixel projection onto other materials, including non-resonant materials, is also disclosed. The pixel based projected electrodes may be used in combination with, or in lieu of, conventional metal electrodes. The single pixel may be controlled in gain and phase in order to achieve specific desired resonator response characteristics. Many types of devices using pixel based electrode projection are disclosed—including resonators having one or more single-pixel virtual electrodes, and other types of devices.

Abstract: A family of resonators and other devices which employ virtual electrodes using pixel based projection across a gap onto a material. In many embodiments, the pixels are projected onto a piezoelectric material, such as quartz crystal, by an integrated circuit die placed opposite a face of the crystal. The die projects individual pixels of electromagnetic energy onto the crystal, which vibrates and produces its own electromagnetic energy which is received by the pixels. Pixel projection onto other materials, including non-resonant materials, is also disclosed. The pixel based projected electrodes may be used in combination with, or in lieu of, conventional metal electrodes. Individual pixels may be turned on and off, and gain- and phase-controlled, in order to achieve specific desired resonator response characteristics. Many types of devices using pixel based electrode projection are disclosed—including resonators having one or more electrodes, oscillators, filters, delay lines, antennas and others.

Abstract: A family of composite resonator devices having improved performance properties for use in electronic circuits. Each composite device includes two or more resonator electrodes on a single crystal or other resonant material. The two resonators may be connected in series or parallel, based on application requirements. The two resonators have different surface areas or some other type of asymmetry, causing the response of the composite device to have suppressed spurious modes, reduced insertion loss, or both. This is accomplished by designing the electrodes to have different frequency response curves, where the responses can be tuned and combined to reduce undesirable modes. Improvements in acceleration sensitivity and temperature sensitivity are also achieved. Both physically-applied and projected electrode types are disclosed, along with several crystal shapes. The family of composite resonator devices includes both passive and active devices, such as resonators, filters and oscillators.
