Abstract: A wearable cardioverter defibrillator (“WCD”) latching connector system includes a receptacle positioned within a WCD monitor, and a connector configured to removably engage the receptacle.

Abstract: A wearable cardioverter defibrillator monitor case includes a housing configured to surround a defibrillator electronics assembly, a front cover removably attachable to the housing, and a rear cover removably attachable to the housing. The wearable cardioverter defibrillator case has a shock indicator positioned on the housing at an interface between the housing and the front cover.

Abstract: Technologies and implementations for a wearable healthcare system having an irremovable wirelessly chargeable energy storage device. The technologies and implementations facilitate at least continual monitoring.

Abstract: Circuit breakers and associated methods are described. According to one aspect, a circuit breaker includes an input node configured to receive an AC waveform of electrical energy, an output node configured to output the AC waveform, mechanical breaker circuitry configured to selectively operate in a conductive state to conduct the AC waveform from the input node to the output node, switching circuitry configured to selectively operate in a conductive state to conduct the AC waveform from the input node to the output node, energy absorption circuitry coupled with the input node and the output node, wherein the mechanical breaker circuitry and the switching circuitry are changed from the conductive state to a non-conductive state after detection of a fault, and wherein the energy absorption circuitry is configured to dissipate electrical energy of the fault after the mechanical breaker circuitry and the switching circuitry are changed to the non-conductive state.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes extending simulation results and input data of a DC production cost model (PCM) of a power grid to an initial AC power flow model (PFM) using a generation distribution mapping and load distribution mapping of a related PFM base example associated with the PCM, and automatically producing a chronological series of converged AC PFM solutions associated with a PCM time series by, for each time step of the PCM time series: (i) updating inputs of an AC PFM using (a) PCM results of the current time step and (b) solution outputs of a converged AC PFM obtained from a previous PCM time step, and (ii) iteratively, reducing nodal loads by a gradual amount configured to account for power grid power flow losses unaccounted for by the PCM and performing AC PFM numerical analyses, until: (a) an AC PFM convergence is obtained and (b) a real power generation slack bus is less than or equal to a predefined tolerance in relation to a slack bus of the PCM results of the current time step.

Abstract: A brewing system and method are shown for brewing a beverage, such as coffee or tea. The system includes an inline sensor or sensor array that intercepts the dispensing stream and measures the time dependent properties of the brewed liquid at a particular location as the liquid is dispensed. In a particular embodiment, the total dissolved solids is measured to produce a coffee signature, which is sent to a controller that uses the time-dependent data to perform one or more of the following: evaluate the quality of the brewed liquid, control the brewing process for subsequent brewing cycles; identify the blend or brand of brewed product; and/or determine when maintenance is needed or advisable for the brewing system.

Abstract: A retrofit power door assembly for installation on a manual door assembly. One aspect is related to a retrofit power door assembly having an axial operator. Another aspect relates to a retrofit power door assembly having a clutch with a manually engageable release member.

Abstract: A sliding door assembly comprises a frame assembly, a sliding panel carrier, and a sliding panel mounted to the sliding panel carrier. The sliding panel carrier is mounted to the frame assembly for generally rectilinear movement to enable movement of the sliding panel between a closed position and an open position. The sliding panel carrier has a pivot pin receiving opening. A door controlling unit moves the sliding panel carrier in a generally rectilinear manner between the open and closed positions. The sliding panel has a mounting bracket mounted to the top rail thereof. The bracket includes a pivot pin that moves between extended and retracted positions. The sliding panel is mounted to the sliding panel carrier by inserting the pivot pin into the pivot pin receiving opening. As a result, the sliding panel can swing relative to the frame assembly through a breakout movement from a normal, non-breakout position to a breakout position.
