Abstract: In one aspect, the disclosure relates to nanoclusters comprising cores comprising self-assembled unimolecular nanoparticles and biomimetic membrane coatings surrounding the cores, methods of making the same, and methods of treating and preventing restenosis using same. In some embodiments, the nanoclusters can contain an anti-restenotic drug. In one embodiment, the polymers and/or copolymers of the unimolecular nanoparticles can contain a hydrophobic group such as, for example, a phenylboronic ester. In a further embodiment, the biomimetic membrane can localize the nanoclusters at sites of vascular damage, at which time reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the sites of vascular damage cleave the hydrophobic groups from the polymers and/or copolymers, increasing hydrophilicity of the polymers and/or copolymers and allowing for greater tissue penetration of the de-clustered nanoclusters and nanoparticles.

Abstract: A server associated with a building automation emergency response system, receives indications of a detected emergency from sensors distributed among zones in the building, comprising a sensor reading level and a sensor identity. The server determines a zone danger level, based on the sensor identity and on the sensor reading levels. The server calculates an evacuation route commencing from user interfaces distributed among the zones. The user interfaces include a display device. The evacuation route is calculated to traverse the zones with a lower route danger level. The evacuation route is directed toward a safe exit, based on a floor plan. The server then transmits a depiction of the evacuation route to the user interfaces for display. The server continues receiving updated indications from the sensors, determines updated route danger levels, calculates an updated evacuation route, and transmits an updated depiction of the evacuation route to the user interfaces for display.

Abstract: An improved pivot pin for a firearm may provide a head, shank, and/or openings. The improved pivot pin may also provide a modified central channel, an installation point, and/or installation channel to allow for tool-free or tool-less installation. Further, the improved pivot pin may provide a removal channel to allow the pivot pin to easily be removed from the lower receiver without tools. An improved takedown pin for a firearm may provide a head, shank, and/or openings. The improved takedown pin may also provide a modified center channel and/or removal channel as well. A removal tool to aid removal of a pivot pin or takedown pin from a firearm may be generally shaped to conform or fit within the channel of the pivot or takedown pin. The width and height of the removal tool may be slightly smaller than the width and height of the channel of the pivot pin or takedown pin. The distal end of the removal tool may taper from a top surface to the bottom surface to form a sharp point or tip.

Abstract: A method of generating an augmented reality (AR) signage solution including acquiring an image of a structure, establishing scaling information for the image by correlating dimensional information of the structure to points in the image, obtaining jurisdictional signage rules, designing a layout for signage on the structure in compliance with the jurisdictional signage rules, depicting in AR the acquired image and signage layout, and generating production documentation after obtaining user approval. The method including detecting the location of one or more obstructions on the structure and incorporating the obstruction locations in the signage layout. The method including adjusting the orientation of the acquired structure image within the AR to reduce skew of the structure in relation to a viewing perspective. A system and non-transitory computer-readable medium are also disclosed.

Abstract: A server associated with a building automation system of a building, determines an occurrence of an emergency in the building, based on detection of the emergency by sensors distributed in the building. The server transmits to a remote emergency service, an alert of the detected emergency. In response, the server receives from the remote emergency service, an authorized login to temporarily transfer to the remote emergency service, control of the building automation system to respond to the detected emergency. In response to the authorized login, the server transfers the control to the remote emergency service, and causes the remote emergency service to transmit a command to devices in the building automation system. When the command is received by the devices, it modifies or alters operation of the devices. After the detected emergency has been resolved, the server disables the temporary transfer of control by the remote emergency service.
