Abstract: An artificial intelligence system monitors and records usage of a set of mobile devices that have been “paired” or grouped together. The system, over time, accumulates a history of times and locations associated with events that occur with respect to the devices. From this history, the system develops a usage model for the devices. The system, if it detects current usage diverges significantly from an expected usage, performs responsive actions which may include: notifying a user, via a paired device, that the mobile device may be lost or misplaced; command the “lost” mobile device to enter a reduced power state, to prolong battery life; and/or command the “lost” device to emit audible and/or visible signals intended to facilitate locating the device. In some embodiments, the system predicts an imminent loss of the device before it becomes lost, based on current usage vs. expected usage embodied in the model.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include devices and methods pertaining to medical lead connectors. According to various embodiments of the disclosed technology, disclosed is a lead connector that may include a base member; a flexible circuit disposed on the base member and including a plurality of electrical contacts; a plurality of contacts positioned to allow contact between a lead inserted into the lead connector and the plurality of contacts and between the plurality of contacts and the plurality of electrical contacts of the flexible circuit; and a casing that includes a bottom casing and a cover member. When a lead is inserted into the lead connector via an opening on the cover member, the lead may push against the plurality of contacts, electrically coupling the lead to the flexible circuit via the plurality of contacts and the plurality of electrical contacts of the flexible circuit.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include devices and methods pertaining to medical lead connectors. According to various embodiments of the disclosed technology, disclosed is a lead connector that may include a base member; a flexible circuit including a plurality of electrical contacts; a casing that includes a bottom casing and a cover member. The bottom casing may include receptacles open to a surface of the flexible circuit and aligned with electrical contacts on the flexible circuit. The cover member may include a slot opening to receive a lead stylet. Furthermore, the lead connector may include ball contacts positioned in the receptacles. When the lead stylet is inserted into the lead connector, the lead stylet may push the ball contacts downward to make electrical contact with the electrical contacts on the flexible circuit. A portion of the lead stylet may extend beyond an edge of the casing.

Abstract: In a method of producing isotopes in a light water power reactor, one or more targets within the reactor may be irradiated under a neutron flux to produce one or more isotopes. The targets may be assembled into one or more fuel bundles that are to be loaded in a core of the reactor at a given outage. Power operations in the reactor irradiate the fuel bundles so as to generate desired isotopes, such as one or more radioisotopes at a desired specific activity or stable isotopes at a desired concentration.

Abstract: A collapsible wheelbarrow has a barrow formed of a plurality of panels that are hinged together to transition between an erected state in which the panels are configured to define the operative barrow and a collapsed state in which most or all of the panels are not folded together and the barrow is relatively flattened out extending over a greater ground area than when in the erected state so that the barrow in the collapsed, flattened state can function as a ground sheet, having an enlarged surface area. For a gardener this makes it much better for collecting leaves, grass or other garden cuttings or materials, which may be swept or raked directly onto the flattened but floor area-expanded barrow before then raising/erecting the barrow to its operative wheelbarrow state to be wheeled off to a compost heap or other location.
