Abstract: A multi-source ground-to-air heat transfer system is configured to store thermal energy during a cooling/dehumidification mode of operation for future use during a heating mode of operation. The multi-source ground-to-air heat transfer system utilizes a ground loop that is configured under an enclosure, such as a greenhouse, and is in thermal communication with a thermal reservoir medium to conduct and store heat. A thermal exchange fluid is pumped through the ground loop and ground heat exchanger and may receive heat from a condenser during a cooling/dehumidification mode of operation and may liberate heat to the evaporator during a heating mode. The enclosure air may receive heat from the heat pump during a heating mode and may liberate heat to the evaporator during a cooling/dehumidification mode. The heat exchange system may employ a heat pump having a reversing valve to change the mode of operation.

Abstract: There is provided a method of training a machine learning model, comprising: for each set of sample medical images depicting calcification within a target anatomical structure wherein each set includes non-contrast medical image(s) and contrast enhanced medical image(s), correlating between calcifications depicted in the target anatomical structure of the contrast enhanced image(s) with corresponding calcifications depicted in the target anatomical structure of the non-contrast medical image(s), computing calcification parameter(s) for calcification depicted in the respective target anatomical structure, labelling each contrast enhanced medical image with the calcification parameter(s), and training the machine learning model on a training dataset that includes the contrast enhanced medical images of the sets, each labelled with ground truth label of a respective calcification parameter(s), for generating an outcome indicative of a target calcification parameter(s) for calcification depicted in the target ana

Abstract: A tissue treatment stick is disclosed. In an embodiment, the tissue treatment stick includes a treatment section including a vibration generating device, wherein the vibrating generating device is configured to vibrate the treatment section, and wherein the treatment section has at least one edge, the at least one edge extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the tissue treatment stick.

Abstract: Systems and methods for secure resource management are provided. A secure resource management system includes a blockchain-based computing network configured to host a blockchain for generating a digital object to represent a resource associated with a physical object and transferring the digital object to a secure network address associated with a user. The secure resource management system further includes a database configured for storing data in the blockchain and a services layer system for communicating with the blockchain and the database by requesting the blockchain to generate the digital object, storing the identifier of the digital object in the database, requesting the blockchain to transfer the digital object to a secure network address associated with a user and updating the database to indicate that the digital object is assigned to the user.

Abstract: A telematics method and system facilitates customizing a plurality of vehicle content files, parameters, and features based on edits and selections from a user interface. A telematics provider maintains a database comprising a table, or tables that associate(s) user identification information with a vehicle VIN and equipment/features/content installed in/on vehicle devices associated with the VIN. Database updates may occur automatically, or upon a user instruction, when a TCU wirelessly transmits current equipment, content, and feature configuration information to a TOC coupled with the database. The telematics provider's server may provide the interface that facilitates the user logging in and editing features, content, and operational and performance parameters currently configured/installed in/on the vehicle' equipment and devices.

Abstract: A method of aerosolizing a pharmaceutical formulation comprises providing an aerosolization device comprising an aerosolization chamber and providing a receptacle containing a pharmaceutical formulation. The receptacle comprises a wall having a weakened portion that opens when a force is applied. By applying a force to the receptacle to create an opening at the weakened portion, the pharmaceutical formulation in the receptacle is exposed so that it may be aerosolized for delivery to a patient's respiratory tract. In one version, the receptacle is opened when a blunt force is applied.
