Abstract: UE location determined by collecting and preprocessing signal data at a detector and sending extracted data to a remote locate server. The detector buffers samples from signals provided by receive channels, detects known reference signals from receive channels based on reference signal parameters, isolates symbols carrying the reference signal from frames, extracts data from symbols, and sends extracted data to locate server. The locate server receives the extracted data, estimates locate observables based on the extracted data and calculates the UE location based on the estimated locate observables, the reference signal parameters and the extracted data. The detector and/or the server may also generate correlation coefficients between reference signals carrying spectrum received from a serving cell and utilize the correlation coefficients to cancel a serving cell signal in symbols that include known in advance reference signals from the serving cell and one or more neighboring cells of the wireless system.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to evaporation compensation in fluidic devices. An example apparatus for evaporation compensation includes an assessment circuit to determine an amount of evaporation of a volume dispensed in a microwell of a fluidic device. The amount of evaporation may be determined based on the volume in the microwell, and an amount of time after dispensing the volume in the microwell. A compensation circuit may determine, based on the amount of evaporation, a compensation factor for the microwell including an amount of a normalizing fluid to compensate for the amount of evaporation. The compensation circuit may also create a normalization profile for the fluidic device, including an association between the fluidic device and the compensation factor. A dispensing circuit may dispense the normalizing fluid in the microwell according to the normalization profile.

Abstract: An embodiment of a single use nitrous oxide solution delivery system can be used in a prehospital setting such as in ambulances. A container can be filled with a predetermined relative concentration of nitrous oxide and oxygen gases. The container is sized to be stored in a repository within an automated dispensing cabinet (ADC) for medications. The container is connected to a regulator which includes a main control dial configured to allow a health care provider to adjust the volumetric flow rate of the nitrous oxide and oxygen gas mixture used by a patient. A scavenger can be optionally connected to a patient's mask and configured to remove exhaled gas. Another embodiment of a single use nitrous oxide solution delivery system can be used within hospitals and other medical buildings.

Abstract: A system obtains conversation data corresponding to conversations between users and agents of a client. The system identifies a set of intents from the conversations and identifies a set of contexts, explicit elements, and implied elements of these intents. The system identifies actions that can be performed to recognize new explicit and implied elements from new conversations and to address intents in these new conversations. Based on these actions, the system generates a set of recommendations that can be provided to the client. As agents communicate with users, the system monitors adherence to the set of recommendations.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for disconnecting clips. A clip separation tool includes two arms, the arms having jaws to receive connected clips at a distal end of the arms and handle portions on a proximal end for a user to engage the tool with his hand. A pivot mechanism is coupled to the arms, where, responsive to a force applied to the handle portions, the arms rotate relative to each other around the pivot mechanism such that the distal ends of the arms pivot away from one another and the proximal ends of the arms pivot towards one another. A spring biases the arms to rotate to an equilibrium position that is attained automatically under spring loading once the proximal ends of the arms are relieved of loading. The clip separation tool disconnects connected clips as the force causes the arms to rotate around the pivot mechanism.
