Abstract: In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a system includes a first wire configured to electrically connect a valve stop to a voltage source, a second wire configured to connect a valve pin to a negative terminal of the voltage source, such that the valve stop, and a valve flap operatively connected to the valve pin are configured to create a closed valve circuit when the valve flap is in a fully open position with the valve flap contacting the valve stop, and an open valve circuit when the valve flap is not in the fully open position. A meter is operatively connected to measure an electrical characteristic of the valve circuit to determine when the valve flap is in the fully open position based on an open/closed status of the valve circuit.

Abstract: There is provided a feedthrough including a ceramic body; and a plurality of electrical conductors embedded in the ceramic body. Wherein the density of the electrical conductors exceeds 1 conductor per 23 thou2 (14,839 ?m2) through a planar cross-section of the ceramic body.

Abstract: The disclosure may include an exemplary method comprising receiving risk metric data from a plurality of data sources; determining if the risk metric data passes quality control requirements; factoring the risk metric data; weighting the risk metric data by multiplying the weights at a sub-metric level; standardizing the risk metric data by scaling each risk value in the risk metric data to a range of values for each advisor to obtain standardized risk values; prioritizing the risk metric data by assigning a metric weight to the standardized risk values; further prioritizing the risk metric data by assigning a category weight to the standardized risk values; aggregating the risk metric data for an advisor to create advisor risk metric data; scoring a risk associated with the advisor based on the advisor risk metric data; and transferring the advisor risk data to a dashboard.
