Abstract: A method for providing real-time information to a first electronic device is described here. The method includes transmitting one or more workflow tasks from a host computer to a first electronic device communicatively coupled to the host computer. Further, the method comprises receiving sensor information from a plurality of sensors. The sensor information comprises at least one of a location of the first electronic device or data related to the one or more workflow tasks being performed by a worker. The method further comprises transmitting, to the first electronic device, a real-time information to be communicated to the worker based on the sensor information received from the plurality of sensors. In some examples, the real-time information comprises instructions in form of an assistance to be provided to the worker for performing the one or more workflow tasks.

Abstract: Sterilization of medical devices can be performed by stacking packages containing the medical devices. The packages are arranged in a partially-overlapping orientation which is at an oblique angle to the direction of irradiation. The partially-overlapping orientation and oblique angle are predetermined for high sterilization throughput and tight control of irradiation. Instead arranging the packages directly on a sterilization platform at a sterilization facility, the packages can be stacked in the partially-overlapping orientation into a transport container at a location remote from the sterilization facility. The transport container maintains the orientation of the packages. Thereafter, the transport container is placed on the sterilization platform, which results in greater uniformity in radiation exposure while maintaining a high level of sterilization throughput.

Abstract: An over-voltage protection system including a phase bus connected to a phase conductor of an electrical system and one or more transient-suppressing lines connected to the phase bus. Each of the transient-suppressing lines includes a contactor and a transient-suppressing element. The contactor of each transient-suppressing line is selectively opened and closed by a processor, thereby protecting the transient suppressing element from excessive currents.

Abstract: A mobile wireless device (302) can include a first processor (614) for establishing a first communication link using a first wireless communication protocol, a second processor (615) for establishing a second communication link using a second wireless communication protocol different from the first wireless communication protocol, and an interprocessor communication link (620) between the first processor and the second processor enabling communication between the first communication link and the second communication link. The mobile wireless device can serve as a dispatcher coupling a first mobile radio 112 using the first wireless communication protocol with a second mobile radio 116 using the second wireless communication protocol. The first wireless communication protocol can be a cellular communication protocol and the second wireless communication protocol can be a dispatch radio communication protocol.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for joining together at least two substrates, each of which has an inner hole. The apparatus has a pin that is adapted to the inner holes of the substrates. The pin is provided with at least two noses that are movable radially relative to the pin. The noses have linear outer surfaces upon which the edges of the inner holes of the substrates can glide downwardly during movement of the noses toward the pin.
