Abstract: According to one example of the present disclosure an infusion device is configured to control a medication delivery apparatus to intravenously deliver a pharmaceutical preparation to a patient. The infusion device comprises a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to cause the medication delivery apparatus to deliver the pharmaceutical preparation to the patient according to a predetermined dose profile. The predetermined dose profile is designed to deliver a therapeutic dose of the pharmaceutical preparation to the patient over a predetermined infusion time in a manner which facilitates safe detection of an adverse reaction of the patient to the pharmaceutical preparation, or desensitization the patient to the pharmaceutical preparation, during a first stage of administering the therapeutic dose.

Abstract: Electronic systems, such as printing systems, often use components that have integral memory. The integral memory can be used to store information about the component. In some printing systems this memory includes a portion that stores a value indicative of an amount of a consumable that has been used. Some printing systems do this by using a counter to count the amount of the consumable used and then sending a count command to the memory. The increment count command is processed to increment the value stored within the memory. Disclosed is a method and system for allowing the memory to be updated by a count command without having to increment the value stored. This method allows print cartridges to be used in printing systems that utilize counters without having to increment the counter each time an increment command is received.

Abstract: A bait station for trapping pets may include: a housing, a plurality of open channels located in the housing, such that the plurality of open channels may be configured to allow the entrance and the exit of pests to and from an open space within the housing and a bait holder located in the open space.

Abstract: A system for trapping pests includes a central managing unit and a plurality of pest traps in active communication with the central managing unit. Each pest trap includes one or more detachable cartridges, one or more base elements adapted to releasably hold the one or more detachable cartridges, each base element comprises one or more sensors; each of the one or more sensors is configured to sense a presence of a pest in one of the detachable cartridges, a communication unit and a trap controller configured to receive signals from the one or more sensors and send indications to the central managing unit via the communication unit. The central managing unit is configured to: receive from at least one of the plurality of pest traps an indication that a pest is trapped in at least one detachable cartridge and send an alert to a user device based on receipt of the indication.

Abstract: Electronic systems, such as printing systems, often use components that have a memory. The integral memory can be used to store information about the component. In some printing systems this memory includes storing a portion that stores a value indicative of an amount of a consumable that has been used. Discloses is a method and system for updating a memory that is integral to a component within a printing system. The value stored in the memory can be read to determine an amount of a consumable used. Alternatively, when a specific value is stored in the memory the printing system can deactivate the component.

Abstract: In a directional drilling apparatus in which a sensor/transmitter or sonde is located in one section of a drill string and an element of an adjacent section is configured to “steer” the bore drilled in a predetermined lateral direction, a device is provided for automatically ensuring correct registry or alignment of the sensor/transmitter and the steerable element, this device comprising an azimuth member on the section carrying the sensor/transmitter engageable with a reference member of the adjoining section to present, after such engagement, relative rotation of the azimuth member, which is rotatable in the section carrying it, with the sensor/transmitter, but non-rotatably connected with the sonde. The reference member or the azimuth member is resiliently displaceable axially to allow the two sections to be screwed up together.
