Abstract: Disclosed are devices and systems utilizing specifically designed catheters. The catheters may include a tubular body having a first end and a second end. The tubular body may have an outer diameter that is no more than 9 Fr. The tubular body may define a plurality of lumen extending at least partially through the catheter (e.g., from the first end towards the second end). A first lumen may be configured to slidably receive a guidewire. A second lumen may be configured to inflate and/or deflate a first expandable occlusion element. A third lumen may be configured to inflate and/or deflate a second expandable occlusion element. The catheter may include a plurality of additional lumen.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a device comprises a solar panel configured to harvest power from energy emitted as light by an indoor light source, a camera, and a processor coupled to the solar panel and the camera. The processor can be configured to: receive at least some of the power harvested by the solar panel, capture an image via the camera, and transmit the image to a computing device. A battery can be coupled to the solar panel and the processor that can be configured to store at least some of the power harvested by the solar panel and provide at least some of the stored power to the processor.

Abstract: A method of automatically applying damping force interventions for dynamic weight balancing in a suspension system of a vehicle may include receiving ride height information associated with respective individual wheels of the vehicle and vehicle attitude information from vehicle sensors, determining, based on the ride height information and the vehicle attitude information, whether a trigger event has occurred, and generating a first damping intervention signal to change a damping force applied by a first selected adjustable damper responsive to determining that the trigger event has occurred. The first selected damper may be one of a plurality of adjustable dampers associated with respective ones of the individual wheels of the vehicle. The first selected adjustable damper may be associated with only one of a pair of rear wheels of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method and device is disclosed for measuring one or more physical properties of, and/or induced by, out-gassing products released from and/or trapped within a joint in response to a lightning strike or other electrical current threat. A device for measuring one or more physical properties of, and/or induced by, gases, plasma and/or particles released from a joint in response to an electrical current threat. The joint includes a fastener passing through a structure so that an end of the fastener protrudes from the structure. The device includes a containment member having a base surrounding an opening into a cavity, the containment member being arranged to be mounted over the end of the fastener to enclose the end of the fastener within the cavity and to seal the opening; and one or more sensors arranged to measure physical properties of gases, plasma and/or particles contained by the cavity.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for forming multi-filament tufts for use in a brush seal includes a support (14) for retaining an end of a skein (16) of aligned wires or fibers and a glue reservoir (15) dimensioned to receive the skein end. The support (14) and the reservoir (15) being relatively movable whereby the end can be inserted in the glue reservoir (15) so that the adhesive can adhere the wires or fibers at the end to form the tuft. A cutter (13) is also provided for cutting the wires or fibers to length after the wires and fibers are retained by the support (14).

Abstract: Disclosed are metal-bound tetracarbene catalysts, such as iron based aziridination catalyst, having the formula: wherein X is a group 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 metal and wherein Z is a hydrogen, alkyl, aryl or organic group, wherein the alkyl, aryl or organic group is optionally are independently substituted. In a specific example, a metal-bound tetracarbene catalyst has the formula: Also disclosed are methods of making (synthesizing), transmetallation reagents, these agents, metal-bound tetracarbene catalysts, and a method of catalytic alkene aziridination, using the disclosed metal-bound tetracarbene catalysts.

Abstract: The system comprises a disposable pad having a plurality of layers, and means for retaining the disposable pad either upon the upper surface of a permanent base or directly onto the floor. The permanent base is positioned upon the floor and the base has an upper surface that is generally horizontal. The disposable pad includes a layer of absorbent material, and a coating layer of waterproof material. The pad is flame retardant and biodegradable. The system is useful for keeping the floor dry and in a sanitary condition. The undersurface of the disposable pad includes two bores for cooperative engagement with two projections extending upwardly and affixed to the floor.
