  • Patent number: 10734797
    Abstract: A pre-expanded cover assembly unit for covering an electrical connection between first and second cables includes a cover assembly in a folded state including an elastomeric outer sleeve defining a cable passage to receive the electrical connection. The outer sleeve includes an intermediate section and first and second outer sections. The first outer section is folded at a first annular fold and is on the intermediate section and/or the second outer section. The cover assembly includes a first retention layer between the intermediate section and the first outer section. The cover assembly includes a first friction reducing layer between the first retention layer and the first outer section. The cover assembly unit includes a removable holdout mounted within the outer sleeve. The cover assembly is movable from a folded state to an unfolded state by sliding the first outer section in a first axial direction away from the intermediate section.

  • Publication number: 20200034864
    Abstract: Devices, computer-implemented methods, and computer-readable media for the redemption of merchant offers, such as online coupons, are provided. In some embodiments, online coupons may be provided in a native application of a mobile user device. When a user selects to use an online coupon, a coupon code box having a coupon code associated with the selected coupon may visually move from a first location to a second location of the native application, and a merchant website may be displayed in the native application. Additionally, in some embodiments, a user may drag-and-drop a coupon code box to an input field of a merchant webpage. Movement of a visual copy of the coupon code box may be animated along the drag path. Upon a drop of the coupon code box, a value of the coupon code may be entered into the input field.

  • Patent number: 10383546
    Abstract: This disclosure concerns improved capabilities for evaluating whether additional medical tests need to be conducted for a diagnosis of a pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) condition in a patient. The method includes determining that the patient is at rest and measuring a partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a composite gas, comprising: transferring an expiration from the patient's mouth to a carbon dioxide analyzer; measuring end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) from each of a plurality of oral expirations from the patient; and calculating a composite EtCO2 value. The method further includes comparing the composite EtCO2 value to a range of stored carbon dioxide partial pressure values; generating a signal indicating whether additional medical tests need to be conducted in response to the comparing; and providing the generated signal to an indicator, the indicator adapted to respond to the generated signal to provide an output in a human cognizable format.
