  • Publication number: 20240068135
    Abstract: Interlacing equipment may be used to form fabric and to create a gap in the fabric. The fabric may include one or more conductive strands. An insertion tool may be used to align an electrical component with the conductive strands during interlacing operations. A soldering tool may be used to remove insulation from the conductive strands to expose conductive segments on the conductive strands. The soldering tool may be used to solder the conductive segments to the electrical component. The solder connections may be located in grooves in the electrical component. An encapsulation tool may dispense encapsulation material in the grooves to encapsulate the solder connections. After the electrical component is electrically connected to the conductive strands, the insertion tool may position and release the electrical component in the gap. A component retention tool may temporarily be used to retain the electrical component in the gap as interlacing operations continue.

  • Publication number: 20230070984
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising gases, particularly oxygen (O2) in an amount of from about 91% to about 99% by volume, and carbon dioxide (CO2) in an amount of from about 1% to about 9% by volume, based upon the total volume of the composition, and their use in mitigating the negative effects of surgery and/or anaesthesia on a patient.

  • Patent number: 10257277
    Abstract: Methods, devices, systems, and non-transitory process-readable storage media for updating care team assignments data in multiple systems associated with a hospital. An embodiment method performed by a sync server may include obtaining a data record for each in a plurality of tracked locations of the hospital, receiving an event message associated with a tracked location of the hospital and transmitted by a first server associated with the hospital, determining whether data in a first obtained data record for the tracked location and associated with a second server is inaccurate based on the received event message from the first server, and transmitting an update message to the second server in response to determining the care team assignment data associated with the tracked location and stored at the second server is inaccurate based on the received event message.
