Abstract: A label for tissue embedding cassette may have a facestock configured to have data on a first surface thereof. An adhesive layer is on a second surface of the facestock. Slits are defined in the facestock from an edge thereof, the slits defining at least one tab, the at least one tab configured to be located opposite a female connector in a box of the tissue embedding cassette when the label is adhered to a slanted surface of the tissue embedding cassette. The at least one tab forms a flap movable into the female connector by pressure of a male connector of a lid of the tissue embedding cassette when the male connector penetrates the female connector.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for producing heat and electricity independent of an electrical grid. The apparatus includes a burner adapted to produce at least one of radiant heat, flame and hot combustion gases. A thermal-to-electric conversion device is integrated with the burner and proximate to the burner, for producing electricity. The conversion device has a first side disposed toward the at least one of radiant heat, flame and hot combustion gases and a second side disposed toward and in heat transfer contact with a liquid supply line. The apparatus is useful in water heaters. The liquid supply line provides both water to be heated and a cooling medium for the thermal-to-electric conversion device.

Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for payload stabilization is provided. The present invention may include, in response to receiving at least one sensor data associated with a suspended payload, detecting an unstable movement in the suspended payload during a transport of the suspended payload. The present invention may also include implementing at least one sail coupled to the suspended payload to stabilize the detected unstable movement of the suspended payload.

Abstract: A state of a driver operating a vehicle based at least on a rest pattern of the driver and a driver safety score and vehicle characteristic associated with the vehicle are determined. A risk of a planned route is received based on environment information. A safety risk for at least one location along the planned route is determined based on the received risk. Based on the safety risk, a use of available driver attention determined based on the state of the driver, possible modification of the planned route and vehicle state may be planned that minimize the safety risk. It may be determined that the driver is approaching a location along the planned route having a safety risk. Responsive to determining that the driver is approaching a location along the planned route having a safety risk, alert may be caused to be sent to the driver.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, systems and computer program products for facilitating operationally customized access to smart vehicles are provided. Aspects include receiving request to access a smart vehicle. Aspects also include receiving vehicle operation constraints associated with the smart vehicle using a processor. Aspects also include generating a vehicle policy based at least in part on the request to access the smart vehicle and the vehicle operation constraints using the processor. The vehicle policy includes rules for operation of the smart vehicle. Aspects also include transmitting the vehicle policy to the smart vehicle. Aspects also include moderating the operation of the smart vehicle based on at least in part the vehicle policy.

Abstract: Described herein are compositions comprising (a) methyl 3 -((methyl sulfonyl)amino)-2-(((4-phenylcyclohexyl)oxy)methyl)piperidine- 1 -carboxylate or a salt thereof; and (b) an agent for reducing metabolism of (a) and uses thereof.

Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for verifying location using sound. In some embodiments, location data representing an unverified location of a first electronic device are received. Audio data generated based on sound detected by a sensor of the first electronic device during a predetermined time are received, as well as audio data generated based on trusted sound detected by a sensor of a second electronic device during the predetermined time, wherein the second electronic device is located near the unverified location of the first electronic device, and wherein the trusted sound includes one or more frequencies inaudible to humans (e.g., infrasonic and/or ultrasonic sound). The audio data generated by the first and second electronic devices are analyzed and a similarity score representing a similarity between the respective audio data is generated. The unverified location of the first electronic device may be verified based on the similarity score.

Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a computer system warn workers of a hazardous condition on a worksite. The method includes determining at least one outcome involving a worker and at least one worksite object based on conditions of the worksite. The method includes predicting whether a select one of the at least one outcome presents a hazardous condition to the worker. As a result of predicting that the select outcome presents the hazardous condition, the method includes transmitting a signal to a device associated with the worker. The signal triggers a warning to be received by the worker where the device is in a proximity of the worker.

Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of collecting a set of driving data, estimating, from the set of driving data, one or more states that are predictive of an elevated driving risk of an adverse event endangering at least one of a driver, a vehicle's occupants or a vehicle's cargo, determining, from the one or more estimated states, an existence of an elevated driving risk, and alerting at least one of the vehicle, driver or the vehicle's occupants to the existence of the elevated driving risk.
