Abstract: A method for flight information synchronization using ad hoc networking involves enabling a broadcast of an update to a passenger device from a pilot device, determining an update frequency for the broadcast of the update from one or more network thresholds, and determining to broadcast the update when the broadcast is enabled and one or more broadcast thresholds are satisfied. The method further involves generating the update, which includes an estimated time of arrival (ETA), and broadcasting the update by switching between an infrastructure mode and an ad hoc mode and transmitting the update via the ad hoc mode. The update is received by and displayed on the passenger device.

Abstract: Medical devices that are adjustable in length while a portion of the device remains positioned within the body and methods of use.

Abstract: Described herein are therapeutic pH responsive compositions comprising a block copolymer and a therapeutic agent useful for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract: A child airplane lap restraint device for securing a child close to a parent or adult during air travel. The device includes a parent/adult portion that includes a comfortable, padded belt segment that wraps around the parent's abdomen, equipped with airplane seat-compatible buckles for secure fastening. A pair of cross shoulder straps extend from the belt for a snug fit around the parent/adult. A child portion includes a triangular front surface that provides crucial support to the child's back, with leg loops for extended leg comfort. A pair of child-supporting shoulder straps secure around the parent's shoulders. A pair of buckles connect the parent and child portions and are designed to absorb and distribute forces during sudden movements, thereby maintaining the child's position in the parent's lap.

Abstract: A disposal system utilizing a direct injection of water for an amount of time to sufficiently sanitize a chamber of the disposal system. The disposal system includes a chamber coupled to a drain of a sink at a first end of the chamber, and to a drainpipe at a second end of the chamber. A cutting mechanism, such as a rotary cutting blade, is positioned within the chamber near a floor of the chamber. A fluid-injection unit, such as a flange attachment, coupled to the first end of the chamber and the drain of the sink, includes a plurality of nozzles for introducing a fluid in a variety of streams in different directions to reach substantially an entirety of the chamber. The flange attachment can also include a water line attachment for connecting to a water line, with an optional ozone generator upstream from the disposal system.

Abstract: Described herein are therapeutic pH responsive micelle compositions comprising a block copolymer and a biological therapeutic agent useful for the treatment of cancer, methods of making such micelles and intermediate compositions useful for making such micelles.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for the treatment and prevention of dry macular degeneration via the pharmacologic activation of autophagy without direct inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), for example by administration of flubendazole.

Abstract: Polymeric inner liner, for use with catheters or other medical devices, where the polymeric inner liner tubing can have regions of customized properties created by slot type patterns in the inner liner.

Abstract: A gateway of a vehicle is connected to a telematics control unit (TCU) and a plurality of electronic control units (ECUs). The gateway is programmed to receive a command from the TCU, the command specifying an electronic serial number (ESN) of a target ECU of the ECUs, and forward the command to the target ECU responsive to confirmation that the ESN of the target ECU is included in the web of trust.

Abstract: An in-flight safety enhancing system including: a combined automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) and carbon monoxide (CO) detecting device configured to receive an ADS-B transmission and obtain a CO reading; and a flight application executing on an aircraft crew computing device separate from the combined ADS-B and CO detecting device, and configured to: receive the ADS-B transmission and the CO reading; augment the flight application with information extracted from the ADS-B transmission; and provide a CO status notification when the CO reading exceeds a CO threshold value.

Abstract: Described herein are therapeutic pH responsive compositions comprising a block copolymer and a therapeutic agent useful for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed herein that monitor and improve network performance and reliability of a plurality of devices and nodes. In aspects, alert types are categorized based on the role, model, and operating system of a device or node within the network for which the alert was generated. A command set that is responsive to the alert and that is specially configured for the role, model, and operating system of the device or node is automatically selected to address the alert. The command set can be executed against the device or node (or neighboring device/node) in order to investigate the cause or source of the alert. Based on the results returned by the command set's execution, remediation actions can be selected and implemented to improve the technological performance (e.g., memory, CPU, connectivity) of the device or node in the network.

Abstract: Described herein are therapeutic pH responsive compositions comprising a block copolymer and a therapeutic agent useful for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract: A sink system includes a sink basin and a disposal system. The disposal system includes a first inlet coupled to the sink basin, a second inlet fluidly coupled to a second fluid source, and a garbage disposal configured to receive a first flow of fluid from the sink basin via the first inlet and receive a second flow of fluid from a second fluid source via the second inlet. The sink basin delivers a flow of used water to the disposal system and the second fluid source delivers a flow of clean water to the disposal system.

Abstract: A method of displaying, on a screen of a mobile device, time on target information for an aircraft in flight. The method includes displaying a current location of the aircraft on a map, a waypoint between a departure point and a destination point, a symbol indicating the waypoint in a first area of the screen overlapping the map, and a first pop-up window in a second area of the screen overlapping the first area. The first pop-up window displays a current arrival time at the waypoint and an input area to receive an adjustment to the current arrival time.
