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: Embodiments of the present disclosure present devices, methods, and computer readable medium for techniques for measuring operational performance metrics, and presenting these metrics through an application programming interface (API) for developers to access for optimizing their applications. Exemplary metrics can include central processing unit or graphics processing unit time, foreground/background time, networking bytes (per application), location activity, display average picture luminance, cellular networking condition, peak memory, number of logical writes, launch and resume time, frame rates, and hang time. Regional markers can also be used to measure specific metrics for in application tasks. The techniques provide multiple user interfaces to help developers recognize the important metrics to optimize the performance of their applications. The data can be normalized over various different devices having different battery size, screen size, and processing requirements.

Abstract: Compounds of general formula (I) and their tautomeric forms all enantiomers and isotopic variants and salts and solvates thereof: wherein represents a single or a double bond and R1, R2, X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, Y and Z are as defined herein; are useful for treating respiratory disease and other diseases and conditions modulated by TMEM16A.

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.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing digital groups and claim allocations in digital a peer-to-peer insurance network, the network including a plurality of members each having an electronic member account, including establishing a group comprising a subset of the members of the network, adding a member of the network to the group by associating the member account of the new group with the group, determining, for the new group member account, a member general risk weighting, a group risk factor adjustment and a network risk factor adjustment, and using same to determine liability of the new group member account when a claim originates from within or outside the group; and adjusting the risk factor adjustments of the new group member general risk weighting in response to another member being added/leaving the group or network, or in response to a change in risk of a member account in the group.

Abstract: A delivery portal, which may be at a loading dock, includes a sensor configured to detect a pallet, platform or stack of goods as it passes through the portal. A computer is programmed to receive information from the sensor and to identify the pallet based upon the information. The computer is further programmed to compare the identified pallet to a database to determine if the identified pallet should be passing through the portal. For example, the computer determines whether the pallet is being loaded onto the wrong truck or onto the right truck but in the wrong sequence. The sensor for detecting the pallet may be an RFID sensor reading an RFID tag on the pallets. The portal may be a loading dock. The database may indicate a sequence for loading a plurality of pallets including the identified pallet onto a truck at the loading dock.
