Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing health risks with respect to an infectious disease in buildings. Health data for an infectious diseases is used to determine a health risk level for building spaces and individuals in the building. An air handling action or a disinfection action is performed based on the health risk level.

Abstract: A building management system (BMS) for filtering a fluid within a building is shown. The system includes one or more sensors configured to measure one or more characteristics of a first fluid within an air duct of the BMS and measure one or more characteristics of a second fluid after the second fluid has been filtered. The system further includes a pollutant management system configured to receive data from the one or more sensors and control a filtration process. The filtration process selects a filter of a plurality of filters based on at least one of a level of the one or more characteristics of the first fluid or the one or more characteristics of the second fluid.

Abstract: A leg support apparatus for elevating and exercising an injured leg includes a base. A pair of vertical support legs is coupled to the base. Each support leg has an articulation bracket positioned on a top end thereof. A pair of thigh rods is pivotably coupled to the articulation bracket of the pair of support legs. A gluteal bar and a plurality of thigh straps extend between the thigh rods. A pair of calf rods is pivotably coupled to the articulation bracket. A foot bar extends between a front distal end of each of the foot rods. A plurality of calf straps extends between the calf rods. A pair of pistons is coupled to the pair of support legs and extends to the pair of calf rods to support the pair of calf rods in a horizontal position.

Abstract: A computer system receives a query and converts the query into one or more input data types each associated with a respective piece of input constraint data, and one or more output datatypes corresponding to desired data. A data path workflow scheme is created from the datatypes and a catalog of data path modules each of which has defined datatype of its input(s) and output(s) by building candidate data paths forward from the input and rearward from the output of the data path until data paths from all of the outputs connect with at least one of the data path inputs. The data path is then optimized and converted to an executable code data procedure and then run with the constraint data as the input to the procedure. The results can be displayed to a user display device by presentation modules based on the datatype of the output.

Abstract: The golf flagstick with ball retrieval attachment is designed to assist a player in removing a golf ball from a golf cup after the player has played the ball into the cup. The golf flagstick includes a flag mounted proximate a top end of the golf flagstick and a ball retrieval attachment mounted proximate a bottom end of the golf flagstick. The ball retrieval attachment includes a ball retrieval body mounted on the flagstick using a ball retrieval fastener and adjustment mechanism. The ball retrieval fastener and adjustment mechanism allows for height adjustable attachment of the ball retrieval body on the flagstick to compensate for different golf cup depths.

Abstract: A secure access client can be employed to enforce limitations on a user's access to a file while also allowing the user to access the file using an application of choice. To provide this functionality, the secure access client can implement an RDP client that is configured to create an RDP session with an RDP service executing on the same computing device. The RDP service can allow the secure access client to display the user interface of an application employed to open a file. The secure access client can be configured to selectively apply access limitations on a per file basis. This selective enforcement can be accomplished by only implementing a virtual channel extension to provide a particular type of access to the file when the file's access limitations would allow such access.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided that enable the control of a screening operation based on a calculated screen blockage percentage and the velocity throughput of the screen. The apparatus includes an upstream level detector, a downstream level detector and flume or weir placed downstream of the screen. The apparatus may further include a blockage determination unit which determines the percent screen blockage based on the flow level upstream of the screen and the flow level downstream of the screen.

Abstract: A vehicle power starting method generates a recharging function based on a temperature and a voltage of a vehicle starting capacitor. The method determines a temperature of the vehicle starting capacitor when the capacitor is running in parallel with the motorized vehicle's battery and the motorized vehicle's electrical system. The method calculates a maximum charging level of the vehicle starting capacitor when running in parallel with a motorized vehicle's battery and the motorized vehicle's electrical system; and adapts the recharging process of the vehicle starting capacitor based on the recharging function and a predetermined charging timed cycle.

Abstract: An engine cranking system and a method of cranking an engine are provided. The engine cranking system comprises an engine, cranking motor, and capacitor. The engine cranking system further comprises an electrical path interconnecting the cranking motor or a battery to the capacitor. The engine cranking system further comprises a control circuit coupled to the capacitor. The control circuit comprises a timer operative to track temporal information. The control circuit is operative to apply a control voltage that varies in response to the tracked temporal information. The control circuit further comprises a relay included in the electrical path. The relay is operative to switch, in response to the control voltage, between an open-circuit condition, in which the relay interrupts the electrical path, and a closed-circuit condition.

Abstract: Biocompatible intraocular microspheres and implants include an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist and a polymer associated with the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist to facilitate release of the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist into an eye for an extended period of time. The alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist may be associated with a biodegradable polymer matrix, such as a matrix of a two biodegradable polymers. The implants may be placed in an eye to treat or to prevent the occurrence of one or more ocular conditions, to reduce one or more symptoms of an ocular condition, such as an ocular neurosensory disorder and the like, to enhance normal retinal function and/or to lower intraocular pressure.
