Abstract: An electromagnetically shielded electronic assembly is disclosed in which electromagnetic shielding and filtering is provided to prevent unwanted radiofrequency energy, generated from an electric device residing within the assembly, from radiating externally. The electronic device resides within a primary shielded region and is coupled, through a filter, to an external electrical conductor that extends externally from the shielding. The filter resides within a secondary shielded region that is electromagnetically shielded from the primary shielded region, with the filter electrically contacting the electromagnetic shielding within the secondary shielding region.

Abstract: Systems and methods to securely send or write data to a cloud storage or server. In one embodiment, a method includes: establishing a connection to a client using a client-side transport protocol; receiving, over the connection, data from the first client; decrypting, using a client session key, the received data to provide first decrypted data; encrypting the first decrypted data using a stored payload key (that is associated with the client) to provide first encrypted data; encrypting, using a cloud session key, the first encrypted data using a remote-side transport protocol to provide second encrypted data; and sending the second encrypted data to the cloud storage or server.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are hand trucks for installing and removing water heaters. The disclosed water heater hand trucks enable a single person to lift the water heater onto a platform and to keep the water heater above the water heater pan during installation and removal. The disclosed hand trucks generally include a main platform and a wheel frame. A water heater is strapped to the main platform which has curved legs at the bottom with rubber landing feet. This design is used to keep the water heater above a water heater pan while lifting the water heater into position. This avoids crushing the pan with the water heater. The handles at the upper section of the main platform have adjustable positions. These handles can be opened up to an outward position to provide leverage, which can be advantageous when access to the platform is limited from a frontal approach.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a recirculating flow controller that is operably coupled to a flow switch and to a recirculation pump. The recirculating flow controller determines that hot water has begun to flow by way of the connection with the flow switch. In response, the recirculating flow controller activates the recirculation pump to circulate hot water from a water heater. The recirculating flow controller can activate the recirculation pump for a predetermined duration. The flow switch can be configured to sense flow in a hot water line connected to a water heater. The flow switch can be activated by turning on any hot water faucet connected to the water heater.

Abstract: A method for securing a wheelchair in a vehicle is provided, the method comprising: receiving, at a controller of a wheelchair securement system, wheelchair settings of a wheelchair to be secured in the vehicle; and based on the wheelchair settings, selecting from among one of three selections: a first mode of securing the wheelchair with a first wheelchair restraint alone; a second mode of securing the wheelchair with a second wheelchair restraint alone; and a third mode of securing the wheelchair with both the first wheelchair restraint and the second wheelchair restraint.

Abstract: A targeted drug delivery device comprises a brush for use in delivery of one or more therapeutic agents during surgical procedures, including but not limited to, heart, chest, abdominal, brain, limb, vascular, eye, organ transplantation surgery or cancer surgical treatment. The therapeutic agent is selected from the group consisting of genetically engineered vectors or cells, proteins, stem cells, small molecule pharmaceuticals, drugs or biologics. Methods of treating diseases comprising delivering at least one therapeutic agent to a patient's organs or tissues using any one of the targeted drug delivery devices are disclosed.

Abstract: An electronic deadbolt includes a face plate and a housing having a first end and an opposite second end. The first end is releasably coupled to the face plate, and the housing further includes a bolt compartment defining a bolt axis and a battery compartment defining a battery axis. The bolt axis is substantially parallel to and offset from the battery axis, and the bolt compartment is separated from the battery compartment proximate the second end of the housing. The electronic deadbolt further includes a bolt module disposed within the bolt compartment. The bolt module includes a motor and a deadbolt, and the deadbolt is configured to be selectively linearly extended from the face plate along the bolt axis.

Abstract: A method of testing semiconductor devices includes placing a plurality of semiconductor devices in a carrier assembly and performing at least one testing operation on the plurality of semiconductor devices while they remain inside the carrier assembly.
