Abstract: A method for controlling an electric motor driving a hydraulic pump for a battery-powered electric mobile machine includes receiving one or more command signals for one or more hydraulically-driven systems. The method also includes determining a minimum pump speed for each of the one or more hydraulically-driven systems, and determining a highest minimum pump speed for the one or more hydraulically-driven systems. The method further includes converting the highest minimum pump speed to an electric motor command, and sending the electric motor command to the electric motor.

Abstract: An anchored dilator includes a push tube having proximal and distal push tube portions. A dilator tip is coupled with the distal push tube portion and is configured for selectable coupling with a catheter. The dilator tip includes an anchor cuff having a cuff interface. The anchor cuff is configured to transition between a shuttle configuration having a shuttle profile and an anchored configuration having an anchored profile larger than the shuttle profile. A cuff operator assembly is configured to transition the anchor cuff between the anchored and shuttle configurations. The cuff operator assembly includes a cuff operator movably coupled with the dilator tip, and an operator shaft coupled with the cuff operator. The operator shaft extends toward the proximal push tube portion. Actuation of the cuff operator with the operator shaft transitions the anchor cuff between the shuttle configuration and the anchored configuration.

Abstract: A method for stimulating insulin secretion by anthocyanidins and anthocyanins is described. The secretion can be in vivo in mammals, including humans, or in vitro.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for managing checklists in a software development project. The system includes a question editing module, a template editing module, and a checklist editing module. The question editing module is configured to create and edit control questions with a database. The template editing module enables the creation and editing of templates within the database. Editing a template creates a new copy of the template with an updated version number in the database and the existing template is maintained unchanged. The checklist management module creates checklists within the database. Checklists include template references to a template of a particular version number and user answers to the control questions referenced by the template.
