Abstract: Systems and methods for post procedure care and wellness management. A care network for a care recipient in providing post procedure care to the care recipient for a procedure performed on the care recipient is formed. A user specific care plan for the care recipient is generated, the user specific care plan including post procedure content and first post procedure care conditions associated with the post procedure content is generated for the care recipient. Whether the first post procedure care conditions are satisfied is determined. The post procedure content is sent to the care recipient through an internal communication channel. A first care data received notification comprising a generic notification lacking any personal health information of the care recipient is sent to the care recipient through an external communication channel. The care recipient is logged in to view the post procedure content through the internal communication channel.

The sole board includes a channel disposed in a top surface of the plate in the forefoot region. The channel extends from a lateral edge of the plate to a medial edge of the plate. A characteristic of the channel at the lateral and medial edges of the plate is different than the characteristic of the channel at a middle of the channel.

Abstract: To generate navigation directions for a driver of a vehicle, a route for guiding the driver to a destination is obtained, visual landmarks corresponding to prominent physical objects disposed along the route are retrieved, and real-time imagery is collected at the vehicle approximately from a vantage point of the driver during navigation along the route. Using (i) the retrieved visual landmarks and (ii) the imagery collected at the vehicle, a subset of the visual landmarks that are currently visible to the driver is selected. Navigation directions describing the route are provided the driver, the navigation directions referencing the selected subset of the visual landmarks and excluding the remaining visual landmarks.

Abstract: A machinery casing portion for an engine, the machinery casing portion having a first sealing face configured to engage a second sealing face of a second machinery casing portion so as to form a sealed joint therebetween in an assembled configuration, the machinery casing portion comprising: a recess configured to receive a sealant, the recess being provided adjacent to the first sealing face; and at least one opening configured to receive a fastener, wherein the opening at least partially extends into a wall of the recess.

Abstract: Embodiments provide techniques, including systems and methods, for determining projected locations for providers to better match providers in response to a transport request. Providers may be matched to a requestor based not only on a current location of the provider with respect to a request location, with a projected location of the provider that accounts for timing delays in processing transport requests, communication networks, etc. As such, projecting the projected location of the provider allows the dynamic transportation matching system to be matched more efficiently, reducing delay for the provider and requestor, and improving the efficiency of the system by preventing provider system resources from being taken from other service areas and decreasing provider inefficient rerouting upon matching.

Abstract: A carrying case includes a first compartment made of a rigid material, the first compartment defining an interior volume; and a second compartment coupled to the first compartment, the second compartment made of a flexible material, the second compartment defining an interior volume that is separate from the interior volume of the first compartment.

Abstract: An anchor delivery tool is described. The tool includes a shaft and a handle coupled to a proximal portion of the shaft. The handle includes a hub, with a knob and a nose cone coupled to the hub. The knob and nose cone may be spring loaded so as to selectively retain a length of suture disposed therebetween. The tool further includes an anchor, such as a suture anchor, coupled to a distal portion of the shaft.

Abstract: A communication network operation center (NOC) network inventory data platform. The platform comprises a processor, a non-transitory memory, a data store, and a plurality of applications and logic modules. The logic modules collect data from element management systems associated with network equipment. The applications convert the data to data structures and transcode the data structures in a common data format. The applications store the transcoded data structures in an inventory database. A NOC management application presents a network management view based on the inventory database.

Abstract: A pumping system for a pool or spa application that pumps water. The pumping system comprising a means for moving water through the pool or spa application, a means for driving the means for moving water, and a means for controlling the means for driving. The means for controlling monitors a current flow rate based on an input power to the means for driving, monitors whether the current flow rate is above a priming flow value in order to identify whether the means for moving water has become initially primed, and indicates a priming alarm if the means for moving water has not become initially primed before reaching a maximum priming time allotment, wherein the maximum priming time allotment is a fixed time period.
