Abstract: An endoluminal needle or punch is describes wherein the distal end of the endoluminal needle is able to articulate laterally out of the longitudinal axis of the steerable endoluminal needle. The endoluminal needle further comprise a blunted distal end configuration that is minimally traumatic. Under control by the user, at the proximal end of the endoluminal needle, a sharp stylet can be advanced to punch tissue and then be retracted to maximize safety. The endoluminal needle is configured for use within an introducer.

The endoluminal punch may include energy delivery system capable of being transmitted from the proximal end to the distal end of the endoluminal punch to assist with tissue crossing and incisions. The dilator may include selectively deployable cutting mechanism to create incisions in tissue that are larger than their basic external diameter. The system may also be configured to reduce the risk of generating plastic emboli during insertion of the endoluminal punch.

Abstract: A vertical axis turbine having a first rotor and at least one second rotor, the first rotor being configured to rotate around a first rotation axis that is vertical or more vertical than horizontal. The first rotor may be configured to be driven and/or rotated by wind or water flow. The at least one second rotor is provided on or coupled to the first rotor such that the first rotor is operable to move the second rotor upon rotation of the first rotor. The second rotor is operable to drive a power take off system. Each second rotor rotates around a respective second rotation axis that may be angled or perpendicular to the first rotation axis of the first rotor. The first and second rotors are configured so that the power take-off system can be driven without the need for a gearbox.

Abstract: A system and method are presented for customizing a software application for a target market. A request to access an application is received, by one or more computer servers, from a user. At least one of a preferred language of the user and a location of the user are determined by the one or more computer servers, and a target market is determined using the at least one of the preferred language of the user and the location of the user. The target market defines a language and a region. The application is rendered by the one or more computer servers by modifying at least one of a user interface of the application and a content of the application using the target market.

Abstract: Systems and methods that provide access to users of a network system via a unique identity key that controls access and permission rights of outside entities as controlled by the entity itself. The system assigns unique identity to a unique entity. The key is responsible for facilitating preferred access types and information accessed by outside entities, and acts as a signal for action, interaction and experience within the System as well as third party platforms. Each interaction within the system includes a requesting entity's proxy (‘REP’) sending an information access request (‘IAR’) to the deciding entity's proxy (‘DEP’) via a network. This IAR is routed to the correct DEP via the unique identifier. The DEP applies access preferences to allow or deny the IAR, in part or completely. If allowed or partially allowed, the DEP returns information to the REP.

Abstract: Serious gaming for interrelated critical infrastructure (CI) resilience improvement includes receiving from a serious gaming participant a selection of an anomalous event for a geographic region for which a hierarchy of CI elements has been modeled, and a specified change in allocation of at least one resource in a corresponding one of the CI elements. A previously determined cascading impact upon the CI elements resulting from the anomalous event is then retrieved and compared to a hypothetical cascading impact produced by a simulation of the model with the specified change. A visualization of the comparison is transmitted to the serious gaming participant so as to show the result of the hypothetical change in resources upon the cascading impact of the event in the hierarchy of CI elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to an injection device for ejecting a predetermined plurality of fixed doses. The doses are expelled by moving a needle shield (30) in the proximal direction which releases a pre-strained torsion spring (115) to eject one of the predetermined doses at the time. The injection device is further provided with a number of integrated needle assemblies (70) which one at the time are brought to an injection position. The needle change mechanism (80,90) operating the needle assemblies is controlled by rotation of the needle shield which is rotatable between a locked and an unlocked position.
