Abstract: Devices, methods, and systems for monitoring and/or assessing compliance with infectious disease guidance for reducing infectious disease transmissions are described herein. The systems may include sensing devices at or within a facility and computing devices to compare data based on outputs from the sensing devices with guidance and/or recommendations for mitigating infectious disease transmission. Various compliance parameters may be identified as being relevant to the guidelines and measurable with outputs from the sensing devices. Various compliance parameters may be identified as being relevant to the guidelines, but not measurable with outputs from the sensing devices. The compliance parameters may be individually scored or scored in groups, including the compliance parameters not measureable with outputs from the sensing devices, and a score relative to a facility or group of facilities may be provided. The scores may be presented to via a dashboard.

The aperture (52) may comprise a first open end (58) and a second open end (60), wherein the electrode (10) extends through the first open end (58), and the lead (12) extends through the second open end (60). In which case, the electrode (10) may plug the first end (58) by a second interference fit between the body (50) and the (portion (54) of the electrode (10). The portion (54) of the electrode (12) may comprise a tapered section (62) against which the section (56) of the lead (12) is secured.

Abstract: The present invention is a depth sensing visual prosthesis. By depth sensing objects within an image, items located at a certain depths from the user can be removed to declutter an image. The resulting image presents only objects within a range of depth from the visual prosthesis user. Depth sensing can be accomplished in various ways including structured light, time of flight, or preferably, a stereo camera pair.

Abstract: A container is disclosed which has a first chamber and a second chamber separated by a wall. The separating wall is configured so that at least one substance emitted by a donor product received in the second chamber is conveyed from the second chamber into the first chamber through said separating wall. In this way, a characteristic of the donor product is imparted to a recipient product in said first chamber.

Abstract: A method of preparing an additive assembly for insertion into tobacco industry product filter tow, comprising: providing a web comprising an array of discrete portions of additive disposed in or on the web, the array comprising columns of at least two discrete portions of additive across a width of the web; and forming a chain of discrete portions of additive in the web. The chain comprises: connecting portions that connect adjacent discrete portions of additive in a column of the array; and connecting portions that are configured to be nonlinear to connect discrete portions of additive in respective adjacent columns of the array.

Abstract: A method of packaging a bundle of tobacco industry products, wrapped in a barrier material (5), in a sheet of board material is disclosed. A packaging machine folds the sheet of board material to form a base (3) to contain a bundle, and to form a lid (2) rotatable relative to the base (3) between open and closed positions. The lid (2) has a front wall (11) and a lid front wall flap (15) having a rear face (16) that lies against an inner surface (17) of the lid front wall (11) to enable a label (9), that extends over a section of the barrier material (5) that defines an extraction opening (6), to be adhered to a front face (18) of the lid front wall flap (15) with adhesive so that the section is lifted to open the extraction opening (6) upon rotation of the lid (2) towards its open position.

Abstract: A pack having a group of tobacco industry products wrapped in a laminate to form a bundle is disclosed. The pack has a base containing the bundle, and a lid mounted to the base for rotation between open and closed positions. The laminate has an outer layer having a first cut that defines an outer layer region bounded by said first cut and, an inner layer having a second cut that defines an inner layer region bounded by said second cut. The inner layer region lies within the outer layer region. A part of the outer layer region is attached to an inside surface of the lid such that, as the lid is rotated into its open position, the inner and outer layer regions are lifted causing the inner and outer layers to delaminate in a peripheral region between the first and second cuts and an opening to be created in the laminate.

Abstract: A computerised method is provided for monitoring the status of an aircraft. The method comprises sending, from an output module of an aircraft monitoring system, a reporting more report data signal response and monitoring, at an input module of the aircraft monitoring system, for received data signal to the aircraft monitoring system. This sets a contract with the aircraft that may be used to monitor for unexpected behaviour or non-compliance with the contract terms. The method further comprises determining, at a processor of the aircraft monitoring system, if one or more alert criteria have been satisfied by the received data signal responses and generating, at an alerting module of the aircraft monitoring system, an alert based on the determination.
