Abstract: A method can include receiving strain data associated with propagation of a hydraulic fracture in a subsurface geologic region; performing a comparison between the strain data and simulation results generated using a mesh model of the subsurface geologic region and enrichment equations that represent one or more discontinuities in the subsurface geologic region; and, based on the comparison, characterizing the subsurface geologic region.

Abstract: A medical system, comprising: a medical machine; and a gateway device configured to communicate with the medical machine to allow access to a network, the gateway device comprising a data allowance and limitation unit that is configured to limit communication between the medical machine and the network when the data allowance and limitation unit is in an open state, wherein the data allowance and limitation unit is placed in the open state when a plannable system event occurs, and wherein, while in the open state, the data allowance and limitation unit is placed in a closed state when an unplanned event occurs, thereby providing less limited communication between the medical machine and the network compared to the open state.

Abstract: A dialysis system includes a sorbent device positioned along a fluid circuit for regenerating dialysate during a dialysis treatment carried out at the dialysis system, a filter coupled to an outlet of the sorbent device such the any fluid flowing through the sorbent device must first flow through the filter before reentering the fluid circuit, and a pump positioned downstream of the filter along the fluid circuit. The pump is operable between first and second dialysis treatments carried out at the dialysis system to circulate a fluid through the sorbent device to prevent matter within the sorbent device from solidifying and circulate the fluid through the filter to remove contaminants from the fluid.

Abstract: A method of preserving a sorbent device of a dialysis system, the method comprising—after administering a first dialysis treatment at the dialysis system and before administering a second dialysis treatment at the dialysis system—circulating a fluid through the sorbent device to prevent matter within the sorbent device from solidifying and circulating the fluid through a filter coupled to an outlet of the sorbent device to remove contaminants from the fluid.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a medical device, and a system for acquiring user-specific customization data, i.e. user-specific language packages, are provided. The computer-implemented method comprises: determining a first set of user-specific customization data stored on the medical device; comparing the first set of user-specific customization data with a second set of user-specific customization data that is required by a user; and upon determining that the second set of user-specific customization data is different from the first set of user-specific customization data, acquiring, from a data storage external to the medical device, the second set of user-specific customization data or a delta between the first set and the second set of user-specific customization data.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for extracting information regarding a drill site including forming one or more documents having one or more raw comments regarding a well site. Raw data may be extracted from the one or more documents to produce extracted raw data. The extracted raw date may be pre-processed by removing ambiguity, artifacts, and/or formatting errors from the one or more raw comments to produce pre-processed data. Topics data may be extracted from the pre-processed data using a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm to produce extracted topics data. Measurement data may also be extracted from the pre-processed data using the NLP algorithm to produce extracted measurement data. The extracted topics data and the extracted measurement data may be aggregated to form a set of discrete data points, such as calibration points, per comment to produce aggregated data and one more calibration points may be identified from the aggregated data.

Abstract: An infusion pump for administering controlled doses of fluid comprises a pump body 2 and cap 3 attachable to the pump body 2 to retain a medicament fluid receptacle 4 in the pump body 2, The fluid receptacle 4 is connected to a tube 12 for dispensing the fluid. The tube 12 is directed through a normally closed valve within the cap 3. The pump body 2 comprises a propulsion device engaging with a piston support 6 of the fluid receptacle 4, coupled to a retaining member, a drive system coupled to the retaining member and a rigid member coupled to the drive system. Actuation of the drive system enables the propulsion device to deliver fluid. In addition, the rigid member moveably projects into the cap to open the normally closed valve to allow the passage of fluid.
