  • Publication number: 20210180308
    Abstract: A modular room includes a floor having an upper surface, and a lower surface. The floor defines a floor height between the upper surface and the lower surface, and the floor defines a through aperture. At least three walls have a lower end connected to the floor and an upper end extend away from the floor, a ceiling is connected to the upper end of the walls, and a drain body is positioned in the floor aperture. The drain body has an upper surface and a lower surface and defines a drain body height between the upper and lower surfaces. The drain body height is less than the floor height, such that the drain body does not extend above the upper surface of the floor or below the lower surface of the flow while the drain body is positioned in the aperture in the floor.

  • Patent number: 11032161
    Abstract: Optimum software update transmission parameters are determined and used for transmitting a software update from a host to servers of a computer network. The software update is transmitted while the servers are live and required to meet certain quality of service requirements for tenants of the computer network. Transmission parameters for transmitting the software update are adjusted and updated based on service performance data. Based on iterative adjustments, optimum transmission parameters may be determined. Additionally or alternatively, machine learning is used to generate a model that determines predicted optimum transmission parameters. The predicted optimum transmission parameters may be initially used for transmitting a software update, while the transmission parameters continue to be adjusted throughout transmission.

  • Publication number: 20210158989
    Abstract: A method of making a mirror for use with extreme ultraviolet or x-ray radiation includes: i) providing a base substrate having a curved surface, wherein the curved surface deviates from a curvature of a target mirror surface at high spatial frequencies corresponding to spatial periods less than 2 mm; and ii) securing a first side of a thin plate to the curved surface of the base substrate to cover the curved surface, wherein the plate has a thickness thin enough to conform to the curvature of the target mirror surface and thick enough to attenuate deviations at the high spatial frequencies on a second side of the thin plate opposite the first side that are caused by the deviations on the curved surface of the base substrate. A mirror made by the method is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20210146111
    Abstract: An introducer sheath assembly for percutaneously delivering a medical device that maintains hemostasis in a patient. The assembly has a hub, a hub cap and a hemostasis valve. The introducer sheath assembly has a longitudinal axis and a lumen formed therein. The hemostasis valve has a frame portion and a valve portion, the valve portion having a plurality of slits that are offset through the thickness of the valve portion therein and an extension of the frame portion formed from an incompressible material. The extension of the frame portion is received by a valve seat feature in the hub, when the valve is received by the hub. The valve seat feature also receives a seating portion of the hub cap as the hub and hub cap are advanced into engagement, the seating portion of the hub cap advanced into the valve seat feature subjecting the incompressible extension of the frame portion to a compressive force.

  • Publication number: 20210118027
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing electronic messages to ensure fair and equitable distribution of information. Two electronic messages are generated by an electronic trading system. A first message includes relevant details of a change of state in an electronic order book due to a received order from a participant. The second message only includes an order identifier corresponding to the first message. The first message is multicast to all market participants. The second message is privately transmitted only to market participants that may access or act upon the received order as a result of a prior relationship with the participant that submitted the received order. After receiving both messages, market participants that may access or act upon the received order may screen an entire order book so that they may identify which orders in the market are available for that market participant to access or act upon.
