Abstract: In one aspect, a tire monitoring apparatus having a circuit board, battery, and valve body intermediate the circuit board and the battery. The valve body has an attachment end portion for connecting to a valve stem of a tire, a filling end portion, and an internal passageway to permit air to travel from the filling end portion to the attachment end portion. The circuit board has a sensor configured to detect a variable of air traveling in the internal passageway of the valve body and communication circuitry of the circuit board operable to wirelessly communicate data associated with the variable of the air. The tire monitoring apparatus further includes a support permanently encapsulating the circuit board and battery about the valve body. The support includes a structural member molded onto the valve body and an embedding member securing the circuit board and the battery to the structural member.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a novel class of bifunctional molecules that are useful in a targeted or selective degradation of a protein.

Abstract: Embodiments of an adapter, a system including the adapter, and methods of using the adapter may be for mixing a first substance and a second substance. The adapter may include a body having a first port configured to connect with a first container to receive a first substance, a second port configured to connect with a second container to receive a second substance, a third port configured to connect with a recipient container to output a mixture of the first substance and the second substance, and a mixing chamber having a first portion in communication with the first port and the second port and a second portion in communication with the third port. The adapter may further include a mixing pin inserted into the mixing chamber. In some embodiments, the mixing pin at least partially defines at least one microfluidic path for mixing the first substance and the second substance. In some embodiments, at least one of the first channel and the second channel are oriented offset of a central plane of the body.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to artificial intelligence structured to generate models based on multimodal input. At least one aspect is directed to a system. The system can include a data processing system comprising memory and one or more processors to generate, by a first model trained using machine learning with input including one or more first features each associated with data structures having a plurality of distinct data types, one or more second features compatible with one of the distinct data types, generate, by a second model trained with input including the second features, a plurality of cluster classifications each compatible with one or more of the distinct data types, and cause a user interface to present one or more of the data structures rendered according to a spatial structure based on the second features and the cluster classifications.

Abstract: The disclosure is related to systems and methods of concurrent actions for data storage. A controller may be configured to initialize a first data storage medium and a second data storage medium. The controller may receive a command when the first data storage medium is initialized but before the second data storage medium is initialized. The controller may service the command when the command utilizes the first data storage medium and the initialization for the second data storage medium is not complete. A controller may also be configured to send an indicator to a host that the system is ready to receive commands when a first data storage device is initialized, but a second data storage device is still in an initialization process.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a data storage system configured to implement data storage modes based on a battery health indicator. In one embodiment, a data storage system is provided and comprises an input interface configured to receive data and the battery health indicator. In one example, the data and battery health indicator is received from a host system through the input interface. The data storage system also includes at least one data storage device and a controller configured to store data in the at least one data storage device. The controller is configured to implement a data storage mode based on the battery health indicator.

Abstract: A four-bar linkage hinge having a restraining catch arranged to prevent the hinge from opening and translating rearward when said hinge is subjected to an external force causing a transverse deflection of its linkage.

Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for operating and controlling an interventional element on an interventional catheter. The interventional element may be a stent or series of stents, a balloon, or any other interventional element for which length control is necessary or desirable. A handle member includes an elongated body and an actuator knob that rotates around the longitudinal axis of the body. Rotational movement of the actuator knob is translated to rotational movement of one or more lead screws by a system of gears, rollers, or combinations of gears and rollers. Each of one or more axially moveable members is positioned on a lead screw and attached to a portion of the catheter shaft in order to provide the ability to advance or retract the portion of the cathether shaft.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for delivering stents and other prostheses to body lumens include a prosthesis forming and deploying mechanism carried at the distal end of a catheter shaft. The mechanism is adapted to form and deploy prostheses of a variable length, and to form and deploy multiple prostheses during a single interventional procedure.

Abstract: A method of deferring compensation. One or more initial payment dates over a period of time are selected on which a portion of compensation is to be paid. At least twelve months prior to each initial payment date, the initial payment date is rescheduled to a subsequent payment date at least five years later. Method may be repeated over a plurality of years. Bucket accounting procedures may be used in determining valuation of the deferred compensation benefit associated with each payment date. By giving required notice, deferred compensation recipients may prevent automatic rescheduling of payment dates and thereby receive deferred compensation on such payment dates.
