Abstract: The cleaning kit includes a cloth clam-shell style case and one or more removable tool inserts, tethered within the case interior. The tool inserts securely hold the various cleaning tools and implements of the cleaning kit. The inserts include a plurality of tool retaining features that securely hold the various tool implements via a friction fit mechanism. The retaining features secure the various implements, but allow the implements to be readily removed from the inserts. Each tray also includes a plurality of “push tabs” or “push levers” that assist in retrieving tool implements from the inserts. The push levers are manually pushed and deflect to engage and dislodge the particular cleaning implements from the insert. The inserts are tethered to the case by a nylon strap that allows the insert trays to be exposed like pages in a book when the case is opened.

Abstract: The present technology is generally directed to control systems for centralized appliance hubs and related devices, systems, and methods. In some embodiments, an appliance hub includes an onboard controller and one or more functional components. The onboard controller can be operably coupled to individual ones of the functional components, and can receive instructions for controlling individual ones of the functional components. In some embodiments, a plurality of the appliance hubs are mounted to a ceiling or otherwise arranged within an enclosure to form an appliance hub system. In some embodiments, the onboard controllers of multiple appliance hubs can be communicatively coupled to a system controller that can send instructions to the onboard controllers of one or more of the appliance hubs to individually control operation of the onboard lighting, HVAC, sensors, and/or other functional components carried by the appliance hubs.

Abstract: A traffic light assembly and method for controlling a set of heating elements for the traffic light assembly. A traffic signal with a lens and a visor, the visor having an inner surface and extending from the lens. A sensor mounted to the traffic signal and in direct communication with an environment surrounding the traffic light assembly. A control module located within the traffic signal, the control module comprising a controller for implementing a primary loop that continuously checks environmental conditions via the sensor to determine if a predetermined condition is met.

Abstract: A prosthetic or orthotic device using at least one of measurements of residual limb length or circumference to define a prosthetic socket assembly configuration, comprising modular socket components fitted to the individual user's residual limb having a mounting point for an attachment, at least one compliant member attached to at least one stabilizing unit, and at least one second compliant member attached to at least one stabilizing unit wherein the first compliant member and the second compliant member work in cooperation with the stabilizing unit(s) to control bone position and support the limb within the interface.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides platforms, systems, media, and methods for capturing clinical cases and expert-derived treatment rationales to facilitate biomedical decision making, which can include virtual clinical trials that continuously learn from the experiences of all patients, on all treatments, and all the time. Algorithms such as Bayesian machine learning methods can be applied to coordinate such virtual trials.

Abstract: The present technology is generally directed to centralized appliance hubs with enhanced acoustic performance and related methods. In at least some embodiments, an appliance hub includes a frame, one or more panels attached to the first side of the frame, and an insulating layer attached to the second side of the frame opposite the first side. The insulating layer can be tuned or otherwise configured to absorb and/or attenuate sound within a first frequency range, and all or a subset of the one or more panels can be configured to absorb and/or attenuate sound within a second frequency range different than the frequency range. In some embodiments, at least one of the panels may be made of a perforated metal having perforations arranged in a manner to attenuate sound within the predetermined frequency range.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide for oxygen based treatment of low-k dielectric layers deposited using a flowable chemical vapor deposition (FCVD) process. Oxygen based treatment of the FCVD deposited low-k dielectric layers desirably increases the Ebd to capacitance and reliability of the devices while removing voids.

Abstract: A transfemoral prosthetic level socket system for a user's lower limb comprising modular socket components fitted to the individual user's residual limb having a mounting point for an attachment, at least one compliant member attached to at least one stabilizing unit, and at least one second compliant member attached to at least one stabilizing unit wherein the first compliant member and the second compliant member work in cooperation with the stabilizing unit(s) to control bone position and support the limb within the interface.

Abstract: The present technology is generally directed to appliance hubs and related systems and methods. In some embodiments, an appliance hub includes a frame assembly and one or more panel assemblies mounted thereto. Individual panels of the panel assemblies can be removably coupled to the frame. At least some of the panels can include one or more functional components, such as one lighting elements, acoustic controls, speakers, vents, mechanical/electrical/plumbing (“MEP”) components, and/or other devices. Accordingly, the frame assembly can be used to manufacture many differently configured appliance hubs with different arrangements of panels and devices positioned thereon. Further, the ability to remove or partially remove individual panels of the appliance hubs after the appliance hub is installed in a ceiling or other upper portion of a room allows for maintenance of existing devices of the appliance hub and/or replacement of devices or the panels themselves.

Abstract: An air hammock for a prosthetic with dynamic conformity to better match to the underlying limb shape in real-time through a combination of structural support members with modularly adjustable compliant members thereby creating an air hammock for a prosthetic by suspending the limb within the socket without pressure on the bottom of the residual limb.

Abstract: A guard for a welding gun having a trigger and a body includes a plate having two elongated sides, two ends, a front, and a back, and a first pair of flanges extending from the elongated sides of the plate and forming a first open channel with the back of the plate. A biasing member is secured to the back of the plate. The plate is pivotally secured to the welding gun body by fasteners engaging the first pair of flanges and the welding gun body, and at least a portion of the back of the plate overlies the welding gun trigger. A user may only activate the gun by applying enough pressure to the plate to engage the trigger. When the user is not applying the required pressure, the spring-biasing mechanism prevents the trigger from being pressed.
