Abstract: A method for adjusting the data transmission from an industrial control device to a cloud system, the method comprising steps carried out by a cloud application, the steps comprising: determining usage behavior by means of machine learning, by the cloud system or an associated computer system connected thereto, of data, more particularly process data, transmitted from the industrial control device; and sending at least one command to the industrial control device in order to adjust the data transmission.

Abstract: The device according to the invention is used for a cardiopulmonary massaging and/or resuscitation of a patient and is provided with a massage stamp (17) which can be reversibly driven by a drive device in an actuation direction (18) and which has a pressure surface (31) that can be positioned at a contact region on the chest (12) of a patient (11). In order to ensure that the chest compressions are interrupted upon reaching a specified compression force, the massage stamp (17) has a stamp upper part (19) and a stamp lower part (20) which is operatively connected to the stamp upper part (19). The stamp upper part (19) and the stamp lower part (20) can be adjusted relative to each other in the actuation direction (18) at least between a first position which defines a working length (L) and a second position in which an effective length (1) of the massage stamp (17) is shortened compared to the working length (L).

Abstract: A method for providing process data of a device in an industrial automation environment to a computer system. In one embodiment, the method includes the following steps: executing a process data model on the device for generating estimated process data; determining that the estimated process data deviates from the real process data by more than a threshold value; and only if the estimated process data deviates from the real process data by more than the threshold value: transmitting information representing the real process data from the device to the computer system.

Abstract: The apparatus of the invention is used for cardiopulmonary massaging and/or resuscitation of a patient and includes a massaging device (15) which can be reversibly driven in an actuating direction (23) by a drive unit (18) and which has a pressure surface (20) that can be placed in a target contact zone (21) on the rib cage (12) of a patient (11). In order to easily and reliably prevent the pressure surface of the massaging device to deviate from a target pressure point (21), the plunger (19) can be secured to the rib cage (12) of the patient (11) in the target contact zone (21) and is mounted in such a way as to be freely movable in a plane running transversely to the actuating direction (23) at least during an unloaded state between two massaging strokes.

Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods of forming a particulate material derived from a cannabis plant. The method includes introducing a component including at least one of: (i) a cannabinoid, and (ii) a terpene, to a polymer to produce a polymeric mixture. The component is dispersed in the polymeric mixture, which is then at least partially dehydrated to encapsulate the component within a polymeric material derived from the polymer. The polymeric material is water soluble. The dehydrated polymeric mixture is processed to form particulates comprising the component encapsulated within shells formed from the polymeric material.

Abstract: Devices and techniques are described that involve a combination of multidimensional electrokinetic, dielectrophoretic, electrophoretic and fluidic forces and effects for separating cells, nanovesicles, nanoparticulates and biomarkers (DNA, RNA, antibodies, proteins) in high conductance (ionic) strength biological samples and buffers. In disclosed embodiments, a combination of continuous and/or pulsed dielectrophoretic (DEP) forces, continuous and/or pulsed field DC electrophoretic forces, microelectrophoresis and controlled fluidics are utilized with arrays of electrodes. In particular, the use of chambered DEP devices and of a properly scaled relatively larger electrode array devices that combines fluid, electrophoretic and DEP forces enables both larger and/or clinically relevant volumes of blood, serum, plasma or other samples to be more directly, rapidly and efficiently analyzed. The invention enables the creation of “seamless” sample-to-answer diagnostic systems and devices.
