Abstract: Architectures or techniques are presented that can learn relationships between graphical elements presented by a user interface and physical conditions that exist in an environment. Furthermore, the architectures or techniques can, potentially based on the learned information, present the graphical elements to the user interface in a manner that is determined to be more efficient. For example, graphical elements that were historically accessed when a particular physical condition is true can be identified. These identified graphical elements can then be presented in a location of the user interface that is determined to be favorable to rapid or efficient selection at times with the particular physical condition is determined to be satisfied.

Abstract: A container for collecting, storing and dispensing fluid, as in enteral feeding and/or medication deliver to neonatal infants. The container includes a hollow tube with a body, a first end, a second end, and an outer diameter. The hollow tube is configured to receive a movable plunger that advances and retracts therein to define a variable contained volume. The container also includes a sealing head assembly removably mounted at an end of the hollow tube. The sealing head assembly has a diameter or outside dimension that is substantially similar or identical to a corresponding outside diameter or dimension of the hollow tube, so that the container lies flat within the receiver of an enteral feeding pump.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a system and method for the dynamic provisioning of static content. In one embodiment, information presented on a content delivery system can be refreshed based on information published on a content management system. One embodiment can interface the content delivery system and the content management system at the page level. More specifically, content dependencies across pages employing the same content or portion(s) thereof can be tracked in a timely, accurate manner. Upon receiving a notification of a change to the content or a portion thereof from the content management system, a content generation system may operate to determine, based on the dependencies, what pages are affected by the change and, based on the determination, dynamically regenerate any and all affected pages. The regenerated pages may then be stored and/or pushed to the web tier for delivery to end users.

Abstract: A biological sample collection device (e.g., swab) can include elongated body (e.g., shaft) extending from a collecting portion (e.g., swab body or tip) at a first end to a connecting portion at a second end along a longitudinal axis. The elongated shaft and the swab body can be formed of flexible materials. The connecting portion may be configured to associate with a handle or sealing cap. A biological sample collection system can include the sample collection device, a sealing cap, and a sample preservation vessel. In use, the sample collection device may be associated with the sealing cap, used at a biological sample site to collect the biological sample, and enclosed in the sample preservation vessel by associating the sealing cap with the sample preservation vessel.

Abstract: A container for collecting, transporting, storing, delivering and dispensing fluid. The container has a hollow tube with an outer circumference diameter and is configured to receive a plunger. A collection adaptor and a dispensing adaptor provide interchangeable coupling of a variable volume container such as a syringe with a collection device such as a breast pump and a dispensing device such as a nipple. The container also has a circumferential seal assembly secured at one end of the hollow tube. The seal assembly outer diameter is substantially similar to the hollow tube outer diameter.

Abstract: A graft preparation system that includes a base, a guide extending laterally outward from the base and including a top interface and a bottom interface that removably receives a graft thereon, and a plurality of slots extending through the guide between the top interface and the bottom interface. Each slot of the plurality of slots are sized to receive a needle therethrough such that the plurality of slots form a plurality of channels from the top interface to the bottom interface. The guide is configured to facilitate placement of a suture attached to the needle from the top interface into at least one of the channels formed by the plurality of slots such that the suture is received through the graft at the bottom interface.

Abstract: Described herein are in situ gelling compositions. The compositions include an anti-inflammatory polysaccharide and a gelling polymer, wherein the composition is a liquid prior to administration to a subject but converts to a gel upon administration to the subject. The compositions described herein have numerous applications with respect to the local treatment (reduction or prevention) of inflammation and/or tissue damage.

Abstract: A building automation system (BAS) controller includes a power supply, a primary controller, and plurality of USB ports for connection to a set of supported peripherals. The primary controller identifies the inserted USB device type and, based on device type, estimates a current draw of the USB device. The total estimated current draw of all inserted USB devices is added to the current draw of the primary controller and compared to the available capacity of the power supply. If the combined current draw is above a threshold, any remaining USB ports in which no USB devices are inserted are deactivated, thereby preventing the use of further USB devices. In embodiments, the BAS controller includes an auxiliary peripheral device power interface, and the total current of connected auxiliary peripheral devices is included in the combined current determination. A user interface coupled to the BAS controller displays power allocation status.

Abstract: Described herein are chemoembolic compositions and agents. The compositions include one or more anti-cancer agents and a silk-elastinlike protein polymer, wherein the compositions are liquids prior to administration to a subject but convert to hydrogels upon administration to the subject. Administration of the Chemoembolic compositions to tumor and/or tumor vasculature in a subject having cancer can result in reduced or inhibited blood flow to the tumor as well as localized, sustained release of the anti-cancer agent in the vicinity of the tumor. Reduction in blood flow, in turn, results in a reduction of tumor volume and/or inhibition of tumor growth, while localized release of the anti-cancer agent results in reduced systemic effects and lower overall toxicity of treatment with the compositions.

Abstract: Architectures or techniques are presented that can facilitate automatic recovery from a component failure exhibited by a building automation system (BAS) control device and/or a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control device. A failure or fault condition with a software or firmware component can be automatically repaired. A failure or fault condition with a hardware component can be identified, potentially more quickly, and hardware component replacement can be streamlined or simplified.
