Abstract: An example apparatus includes a sensor to detect a lateral edge of a door curtain within a guide of a door, and a controller to identify when the door curtain transitions from an operational state to a breakaway state based on a signal from the sensor, the operational state corresponding to when the lateral edge of the door curtain is enclosed by the guide as the door curtain moves between open and closed positions, and the breakaway state corresponding to when a portion of the lateral edge of the door curtain below an upper end of the guide breaks away from the guide.

Abstract: Systems and methods for storing and accessing healthcare data in blockchain managed digital filing cabinets are disclosed. The system can receive and store patient healthcare data from sources such as wearable devices, an implant, patient devices, healthcare provider devices, databases, cloud storage accounts, healthcare databases, or digital filing cabinets. The system can convert the healthcare into non-fungible tokens on a blockchain to protect the healthcare data from being accessed by nefarious actors. The system can manage access to the healthcare data based on authentication rules.

Abstract: Systems and methods for designing and implementing patient-specific surgical procedures and/or medical devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving a patient data set of a patient. The patient data set is compared to a plurality of reference patient data sets, wherein each of the plurality of reference patient data sets is associated with a corresponding reference patient. A subset of the plurality of reference patient data sets is selected based, at least partly, on similarity to the patient data set and treatment outcome of the corresponding reference patient. Based on the selected subset, at least one surgical procedure or medical device design for treating the patient is generated.

Abstract: Systems and methods for planning and implementing medical procedures and/or devices are disclosed. For example, many embodiments include generating multiple patient-specific surgical plans, with each of the multiple patient-specific surgical plans providing a different recommended treatment protocol for a patient. Each patient-specific surgical plan can also provide predicted post-operative data associated with the treatment protocol.

Abstract: A method of operating a payload-carrying vehicle having two laterally disposed wheels positioned along a central axis is described. The method includes measuring a force applied by a user to the hand truck, where the measured force comprising a direction and a magnitude, and providing torque to each wheel to cause each wheel to rotate in a respective direction as a function of the measured magnitude and direction. The amount of torque provided to each wheel in response to the force from the user is such that the magnitude of measured force applied by the user is not greater than a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: In a method of operating a payload-carrying vehicle having a system configured to provide torque to ground contacting elements, the method includes, repeatedly measuring a force applied by a user to the vehicle; determining a direction and a magnitude of the measured force; determining a respective amount of torque to apply to each of the ground contacting elements as a function of the determined direction and magnitude; and providing the respective determined amount of torque to each of the ground contacting elements.

Abstract: A temperature monitoring circuit for an integrated circuit on a monolithic chip, the temperature monitoring circuit comprising a temperature sensor disposed on the monolithic chip, a system monitor disposed on the monolithic chip, and electrically conductive traces for electrically connecting the temperature sensor to the system monitor. In this manner, the temperature on the monolithic chip can be monitored by the integrated circuit itself, and appropriate action can be programmed to occur upon attaining various set points or conditions.

Abstract: An integrated circuit layout is provided, which includes a base platform for an integrated circuit, a processor hardmac and a support memory. The base platform includes a memory matrix having leaf cells arranged in rows and columns. Each column of leaf cells has interface pins that are routed to a common matrix edge and have a common pin order along the matrix edge. The processor hardmac is placed along the memory matrix and has a hardmac edge adjacent the memory matrix edge and a plurality of interface pins for interfacing with corresponding interface pins of the memory matrix. The interface pins of the processor hardmac have the same pin order along the hardmac edge as the interface pins along the matrix edge. The support memory for the processor hardmac is mapped to a portion of the memory matrix along the hardmac edge.

Abstract: An positionable door strike is attached to a door jamb and receives a corresponding door latch located on a swinging door. The positionable door strike has a base plate and a strike plate that is capable of horizontally sliding within a pair of channels located on the base plate. The base plate is secured to the jamb by passing screws through appropriate openings located on the base plate while the strike plate is held secure when it is slid to its desired position by passing one or more set screws through screw openings located on the strike plate, the set screws engaging the door jamb.
