Abstract: A mobile cleaning robot can include a body, a pad assembly, and a pad drive system. The pad assembly can be connected to the body and can be movable relative thereto. The pad drive system can be connected to the body and can be operable to move the pad assembly relative to the body between a stored position and a cleaning position.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a tooling station for forming containers that includes a blank and draw punch configured to blank off a portion of stock from a stock element and draw the portion of stock to form a cup. The blank and draw punch includes a blank and draw punch curved edge disposed between a blank and draw punch inner circumferential wall and a blank and draw punch proximal surface. The blank and draw punch curved edge has a radius of curvature that varies along its circumference. The tooling station also includes a draw-redraw die configured to redraw the cup to form a can having a flange. The draw redraw die includes a draw-redraw die curved edge disposed between a draw-redraw die inner circumferential wall and a draw-redraw die proximal surface. The draw-redraw die curved edge has a radius of curvature that varies along its circumference.

Abstract: Balloon catheters for delivery of prosthetic hear valves is provided. The balloon catheters are configured to deploy a prosthetic heart valve through inflation. The balloon catheters are further configured with one or more retention bumpers to reduce or prevent migration of the prosthetic heart valve during delivery. Balloon catheters described herein are configured with substantially incompressible retention bumpers that promote longitudinal inflation fluid flow.

Abstract: Anti-SpA murine, chimeric and humanized monoclonal antibodies, and variant antibodies having a heavy chain with at least one amino acid substitution are provided. Such antibodies may be used to prevent or treat microbial infections.

Abstract: A method of removing chemical contaminants from a composition comprising an active, a solvent, and a contaminant can include providing an initial feed supply, wherein the initial feed supply comprises the active, the solvent, and the contaminant, wherein the contaminant can include 1,4 dioxane, dimethyl dioxane, or a combination thereof; including filtering the initial feed stock through a nanofilter and using reverse osmosis.

Abstract: Disclosed is a backpack, shelter, rain poncho/rainfly/pack cover combination. The combination is configured such that the tent is stored in a zippered front pocket of the backpack, a removable hooded rain poncho/rainfly/pack cover is stored in a pocket on the top of the pack, and a telescoping frame sits in an integrated sleeve within the pack, preferably against a foam backpanel. The front of the backpack is configured to form a wall of the tent, when the tent is erected. The telescoping frame typically consists of (i) one horizontal hollow tube arm; (ii) an adjustable hinge connected to each end of the horizontal tube arm, each hinge configured to lock at 90 degrees as well as a wider angle; and (iii) a vertical leg assembly connected to each adjustable hinge, each vertical leg assembly containing two telescoping hollow tubes.

Abstract: Anti-microbial monoclonal antibodies and variant antibodies having a heavy chain constant regions with at least one amino acid substitution are provided. Such antibodies may be used to prevent or treat microbial infections.

Abstract: System, method and apparatus for enabling caregivers to predict when people need supports, make better clinical decisions in the moment, provide more supports remotely and/or directly through technology independent of caregivers, and learn the optimal intervention for each individual in order to prevent crises and enhance outcomes. This may be done through capturing autonomic nervous system, biometric, environmental, and clinical data and applying machine learning to determine predictive modeling equations on a per-person basis with prompts for the person, activation of remote monitoring systems, modifications to the environment, or alerts to caregivers the moment that a predictive variable exceeds its individualized statistical control limit.

Abstract: Materials and methods of modifying an electrode surface are described herein. Self-assembled monolayers (SAM) of polyaromatic molecules covalently attached and form a graphitic-like surface on the electrode surface. After covalent attachment of the polyaromatic monolayer to the surface, polyaromatic-functionalized molecular species is physisorbed onto the surface using the ?-interactions. This concept can be applied to generate high performance electrode materials modified with molecular species. The electrode materials can be applied in photoelectrochemical cells, electrochemical cells, sensors, and electrochromic materials. This approach overcomes the major synthetic challenges to modifying surfaces with molecular species, in addition to protecting the surfaces from corrosion.

Abstract: A docking station for a robotic lawnmower includes a base, an electrical connector above the base and positioned along a longitudinal axis of the docking station, and a central guide member positioned on the base and along the longitudinal axis. The central guide member includes a right lateral surface extending away from the longitudinal axis and toward the electrical connector from a first end portion proximate the longitudinal axis to a second end portion, and a left lateral surface extending away from the longitudinal axis and toward the electrical connector from a first end portion proximate the longitudinal axis to a second end portion.
