Abstract: The invention relates to systems and methods for assessing the efficacy of an aerosol for pulmonary drug delivery as well as to an inhaler device, an orally inhaled drug product and a drug/device combination product. An aerosol can be generated by an inhaler device and comprises aerosol particles containing an orally inhaled drug product. The method comprises the steps of providing a computational lung model and a computational particle transport and deposition model, computing a spatial particle deposition distribution of discrete particles based on a determined aerosol value of an aerosol parameter, computing an efficacy value of an efficacy parameter based on the spatial particle deposition distribution and using the efficacy value for automatically assessing the efficacy for pulmonary drug delivery of the aerosol.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reclaiming refrigerant. The method includes transferring, an unreclaimed refrigerant composition, including one or more hydrofluoro olefins, from a source vessel to a receiving vessel and transporting the receiving vessel to a recycling center. The unreclaimed refrigerant composition is analyzed to determine the composition of the unreclaimed refrigerant composition sample. A target composition is determined, based on the analyzed unreclaimed refrigerant composition, and one or more treatments are determined, based on the target composition. The unreclaimed refrigerant composition is treated, with the one or more treatments, to form a reclaimed refrigerant composition having the composition of the reclaimed refrigerant composition is equal to the target composition.

Abstract: A residue deflection assembly for a crop loss monitoring system includes a residue deflector configured to be positioned rearward of a row unit of a header of an agricultural harvester relative to a direction of travel of the agricultural harvester. The residue deflector is configured to direct residue away from a field of view of a camera of the crop loss monitoring system and to enable crop material to be present within the field of view of the camera.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a hand-held surgical device, operable by a single user, for deploying fasteners to close a wound or incision in tissue. The device includes tissue pinching and folding members operably controlled by the user during actuation of a trigger of the device, which can temporarily secure and expose inner surfaces of two edges of an incision or wound, where one of a plurality of fasteners can be inserted upon further actuation of the trigger, without crushing or causing undue trauma to the tissue.

Abstract: An agricultural system includes a header with a feed roller configured to engage a crop and to drive material other than grain (MOG) of the crop toward a field. The agricultural system also includes a chopper configured to cut the MOG driven toward the field by the feed roller for discharge from the agricultural system and a control system configured to output a control signal to adjust a speed of the chopper relative to a speed of the feed roller based on a size of the MOG discharged from the agricultural system.

Abstract: A game employing user-modifiable game components, such as cards in a collectable card game, employs various features to provide user-modifiability, including sleeves, transparent cards, stickers, and other elements. Electronic versions of the game and various other features are included, including tracking of history associated with such components.
