Abstract: Data related to the adherence of a patient to a therapy regime can be collected from multiple medical devices, each of which may have an incomplete data set with data entries associated with times. Each incomplete data set represents a portion of a complete data set. The data sets can be integrated to create a complete data set with data entries from each incomplete data set being arranged in a temporal sequence with respect to one another. A report may be generated, the report having the data entries of the complete data set or a function of the data entries of the complete data set.

Abstract: Remote automated assistant component(s) generate client device notification(s) based on a received IoT state change notification that indicates a change in at least one state associated with at least one IoT device. The generated client device notification(s) can each indicate the change in state associated with the at least one IoT device, and can optionally indicate the at least one IoT device. Further, the remote automated assistant component(s) can identify candidate assistant client devices that are associated with the at least one IoT device, and determine whether each of the one or more of the candidate assistant client device(s) should render a corresponding client device notification.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an isolation system, comprising a flexible, portable, disposable membrane with no rigid structures. The membrane inflates from a contracted state having a small form-factor for storage to an inflated state for use. The membrane has an opening on one side defining a chamber within, with the opening having a sealing member that when closed, seals off the chamber. The membrane includes a first port for ingress of gas into the chamber a second port for egress of exhaust gas via an associated exhaust filter assembly, with the second port intrinsically functioning as a passive pressure regulator.

Abstract: A gas sediment trap assembly includes a generally cylindrical length with a generally perpendicular tee and a vertically oriented capped portion. The gas sediment trap assembly is coupled to the gas supply line and the gas fired appliance. One or more gas ball valves can be coupled to the gas sediment trap assembly. The gas sediment trap assembly can be used with conventional gas piping, flexible gas piping, and/or other gas line components.

Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to an isolation valve unit including a valve body comprised of a metal, such as brass, and having at least two ports, at least one of the ports including an overmolded thermoplastic end surrounding and enclosing the port. In one embodiment, the thermoplastic end is composed of a polypropylene random (PP-R) material and is securely formed over the port by way of an over molding technique. The valve unit further includes a ball valve accommodated within the valve body and a handle for actuating the ball valve. The isolation valve unit is configured to control the flow of fluids in a plumbing system via actuation of the ball valve.

Abstract: A panel-mountable header connector includes conductors and a housing. The housing holds the conductors in a cavity of the housing. The housing has a front end and a rear end. The housing has a latch set and a stop feature which define a panel mounting zone therebetween. The panel mounting zone is configured to align with an opening in a panel when the housing is mounted to the panel. The latch set is configured to engage a front side of the panel, and the stop feature is configured to engage a rear side of the panel to retain the panel in the panel mounting zone. At least one of the latch set or the stop feature is stepped such that a width of the panel mounting zone is variable to accommodate the panel having one of multiple thicknesses.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to non-planar inductive electrical elements in semiconductor package lead frames. A non-planar inductive element is formed from a lead frame in a semiconductor package. The semiconductor package also includes at least one semiconductor die coupled to the lead frame. The non-planar inductive element could be formed by deforming portions of a patterned planar lead frame blank to form the non-planar inductive element in a deformed lead frame blank. The deformed lead frame blank and the at least one semiconductor die could then be packaged into a semiconductor package. A setting tool could be used to deform the lead frame blank. A configurable lead frame blank could be configurable into any of a variety of inductive elements, through interconnection of lead frame segments using wire bonds, for example.

Abstract: A switching assembly having: a switching member movable between first and second positions, the switching member having a locking element; and locking means for engaging said switching member when it is in the second position to lock the switching member in the second position; characterized in that the locking means is formed of a sheet of resiliently deformable material to have one or more locking elements for complementary engagement with one or more locking elements provided by the switching member when the switching member is in the second position

Abstract: An electrochemical cell having an enclosure comprised of an enclosure body portion composed of a relatively high electrical resistivity material and an enclosure lid portion composed of a ductile material is discussed. The body portion of the enclosure preferably comprises Grade 5 or 23 titanium and the lid portion preferably comprises Grade 1 or 2 titanium. The enclosure lid is joined to the body of the enclosure through a welding process such as laser welding. The combination of these differing materials provides an enclosure that effectively retards the occurrence of eddy current induced heating as well as provides an enclosure that is more mechanically robust.

Abstract: A stacked backplane assembly, including two or more backplanes or midplanes having different functionality and combined together so as to form an integral unit, is provided. The backplanes forming the assembly are manufactured with prime and secondary manufacturing holes to enable alignment, so that the resulting tolerance build-up of the assembly is similar to that of a single backplane. Connectors can be arranged on the backplanes of the assembly so that an electronic or optical card can be simultaneously plugged in to one or more of the backplanes that comprise the stacked backplane assembly. The stacked backplane assembly of the embodiments of the invention is illustrated by having power and signal backplanes and midplanes, but can be equally applied to backplanes that provide other types of functionality.
