Abstract: A filter assembly comprising a first body coupled to a second body via a hinged connection to rotatably couple the first and second bodies together. The assembly further comprises a releasable connection releasably coupling the first and second bodies together. The assembly further comprises a filter coupled to at least one of the first and second bodies and configured to prevent solids from flowing through the filter while allowing fluid flow through the filter. The filter assembly is configured to be coupled to a dispensing pipe of a dosing device and a fill pipe of a packaging system.

Abstract: A method of determining any offset between: a scale axis of a disc scale member having a planar surface on which is provided a series of scale features defining a scale that extends and is centred around the scale axis, the scale axis extending normal to the planar surface; and the axis of rotation of a machine part on which the disc scale member is mounted, wherein the axis of rotation and the scale axis of the disc scale member are substantially parallel. The method includes: determining any offset between the scale axis and the axis of rotation via inspection of an axially-extending surface provided with the disc scale member.

Abstract: Meniscal extrusion can occur due detachment of the knee capsule from structures of the knee. Disclosed herein are methods to repair the meniscal detachment. Additionally, cadaveric and synthetic models can be used to teach said methods of repair.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques of using machine learning to automatically extract clinical variable values for subjects from clinical record data. The techniques designate certain clinical variables as hybrid variables that can be assigned values by machine learning model prediction. The techniques process, using a machine learning model trained to predict a value of a hybrid variable, clinical record data associated with a subject to obtain a predicted hybrid variable value and an associated confidence score. The techniques set the value of the hybrid variable for the subject to the predicted hybrid variable value when the model prediction is of sufficiently high confidence.

Abstract: Augmented reality systems provide graphics over views from a mobile device for both in-venue and remote viewing of a sporting or other event. A server system can provide a transformation between the coordinate system of a mobile device (smart phone, tablet computer, head mounted display) and a real world coordinate system. Requested graphics for the event are displayed over a view of an event.

Abstract: Security measures for signal paths with tree structures can be implemented at design phase using an EDA software program or tool with security feature functionality that, when executed by a computing system, directs the computing system to: display a canvas through which components of a circuit are arranged; and provide a menu of commands, including an option to add components from a library to the canvas and an option to secure a tree. In response to receiving a selection of the option to secure the tree, the system can be directed to add a hardware countermeasure coupled to at least two lines or terminal nodes of a tree structure identified from components on the canvas or in a netlist corresponding to a circuit's design.

Abstract: A fixture configured to secure a component in a vehicle includes a panel separating an internal cabin from an external compartment. The panel has a first side facing the internal cabin and a second side facing the external compartment. A hole is disposed within the panel. The component is configured for mounting to the panel via the hole. The component includes a flange configured for abutting the first side of the panel and a coupling feature configured to extend through the hole into the external compartment. A fastener is configured to removably couple with the coupling feature and abut the second side of the panel for fastening the component to the panel.

Abstract: A communicative lighting system in some embodiments comprises a plurality of network connected light sources including display screens. Each light source in some embodiments possess a unique identifier permitting the light sources to be associated with one another. An input received by one light source in some embodiments alter the light output and display screen of that light source as well as the associated light sources. The light output of a light source in some embodiments is capable of being altered by changing color, brightening or dimming, blinking, adjusting which of a plurality of light emitting diodes are activated, or otherwise modifying the type or amount of light output. The display screen in some embodiments is capable of being altered to display a different image or video.
