Abstract: In one embodiment, an inventory storage module has first and second conveyor segments that are vertically spaced from one another and third and fourth conveyor segments that connect the first and second conveyor segments to define a movement path that is elongate along a longitudinal direction. The module has a plurality of container carriers that are supported by the first to fourth conveyor segments. Each container carrier supports at least one inventory storage container that can support at least one inventory item therein. The module has at least one movement system that can push the container carriers along the first and second conveyor segments along the longitudinal direction between the first and second module ends. The storage module can translate inventory storage containers around the movement path until a desired one of the inventory storage containers is presented at one of the first and second module ends.

Abstract: A device for sealing an aperture in a tissue includes: a foot including a distal portion configured to be disposed distal to the tissue when the device is implanted in a position to seal the aperture; and a flexible wing positionable against a distal surface of the tissue adjacent the aperture such that the flexible wing is disposed between the distal portion of the foot and the distal surface adjacent the aperture.

Abstract: A wearable device for spacing awareness including a housing assembly and an electronics assembly is disclosed. The housing assembly includes a housing which includes a lens. The housing includes a securing clip at a rear side to easily attach the housing to a wearer. Within the housing is the electronics assembly. The electronics assembly includes sensors securing within the housing and behind the lens. The sensors being infrared sensors that detect when someone is too close to the wearer through heat detection. The lens help improve the function of the sensors. When the sensors detect a person is too close to the wear a laser beam is emitted. The laser beam indicates how far from the wearer other people must remain so that proper social distancing is achieved. With proper social distancing the likelihood of cross contamination from air borne diseases, bacteria and viruses is reduced.

The system has at least one transverse track that extends from the at least one longitudinal track along a transverse direction that is angularly offset from the longitudinal direction. The transverse track can ride along the at least one longitudinal track along the longitudinal direction. The system has at least one inventory transfer vehicle that is coupled to the transverse track such that the transfer vehicle can ride along the at least one transverse track along the transverse direction. The at least one inventory transfer vehicle has a body, and at least one end effector supported by the body. The at least one end effector can removably couple to an inventory storage container.

The remote-access connector initiates a remote connection request with a virtual-computer service. The authenticator facility provides first authentication-data to the remote-access connector for ensuring that the security device has permission to be allocated a virtual computer from the virtual-computer service.

Abstract: A sortation system uses short conveyors or transporter units on a lift to move products or packages to totes in a storage rack. The lift may be a carousel. Automated components remove the totes from the rack and place them on outfeed conveyors. The system to remove the totes can include a transfer vehicle. The sortation system may be modular.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an inventory storage system has a vertical stack of storage modules. Each storage module has first and second conveyor segments that carry storage containers along a longitudinal direction between first and second modules ends, and third and fourth conveyor segments that carry the containers between the first and second conveyor segments at the first and second module ends, respectively. The conveyor segments define a movement path having a closed shape, and the storage module translates the containers around the movement path until a desired one of the containers is presented at one of the first and second module ends. The system also has a multi-directional elevator having a platform. The elevator moves the platform over the vertical stack along at least one of the longitudinal direction and a lateral direction, and lowers the platform into an interior of the vertical stack.

Abstract: The disclosed technology provides a device for sealing an aperture in a tissue of a body lumen. The device comprises a flexible support member having a base having (i) a central portion and (ii) one or more lateral support portions, to engage and/or hold a sealable member of the device against an interior surface of the tissue when the device is in the sealing position. The lateral support portions provide additional support surfaces to engage peripheral portions of the sealable member against the interior surface of the tissue.

Abstract: A user computing device may receive a command from a user to modify an object of a canvas. The received command may be accepted and the user computing device may perform one or more operations on the object of the canvas according to the command, such as modifying a mutable attribute. The canvas state may then be captured by the computing device using one or more patches. The computing device may generate and store one or more snapshots to include a subset of the one or more patches and further provide the one or more snapshots to playback a sequence of at least some of the one or more operations that were performed on the object of the canvas.

Abstract: Data can be processed in parallel across a cluster of nodes using a parallel processing framework. Using Web services calls between components allows the number of nodes to be scaled as necessary, and allows developers to build applications on the framework using a Web services interface. A job scheduler works together with a queuing service to distribute jobs to nodes as the nodes have capacity, such that jobs can be performed in parallel as quickly as the nodes are able to process the jobs. Data can be loaded efficiently across the cluster, and levels of nodes can be determined dynamically to process queries and other requests on the system.

Abstract: Improved methods and systems for cooling a data room are presented wherein an HVAC mini-split unit is configured with a manifold and return air ducts that enhance the movement of warm air to the return air intake of the unit without mixing the return air with the cool air supplied by the unit. Other embodiments provide methods and systems for supplying cool air from a mini-split unit to the front of the equipment rack, thereby shortening the path of warm air behind the equipment rack to the mini-split unit and eliminating the mixing of intake air with supply air.

Abstract: The provided technologies provide an implant closure device having a mesh layer formed on a flexible substrate, collectively forming a sealable member, that improves a seal formed over an aperture in a body lumen. The mesh facilitates a faster and more secure adherence of the sealable member to the surrounding edges at the puncture site. Furthermore, the provided technology may promote platelet-capture and encourage localized platelet aggregation at the exposed collagen in the wound edges on the mesh layer. The platelet impregnated mesh layer can facilitate cellular adhesion, enabling the sealable member that is local to the wound opening to act, in essence, as a “biological glue”.
