Abstract: The invention relates to an ophthalmoscope (10) configured to acquire video of an eye. The ophthalmoscope (10) comprises a light source, an imaging apparatus (20), and a processor. The light source emits a beam of non-coherent light which in use impinges on the eye. The imaging apparatus (20) acquires plural images of at least part of the eye, each of the plural images acquired when non-coherent light from the light source impinges on the eye. The processor is configured to at least one of: control the imaging apparatus (20) such that time adjacent images are acquired with a predetermined period therebetween; and record a time of acquisition of each of a plurality of the plural images and to associate each time of acquisition with the respective image. The acquired plural images are thus related in time to one another and thereby constitute video of the eye.

Abstract: In an aspect, a self-balancing two-wheeled vehicle is provided, having a body, and first and second wheels rotatably coupled to the body. The second wheel has at least one lateral roller rotatable about an axis that is one of oblique and orthogonal to a rotation axis of the second wheel. At least one motor is coupled to the second wheel to control rotation of the second wheel and the at least one lateral roller. At least one sensor is coupled to the body to generate orientation data therefor. A control module is coupled to the at least one motor to control operation thereof at least partially based on the orientation data generated by the at least one sensor.

Abstract: The invention provides a compound of formula (I): or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt thereof, that is an inhibitor of JAK kinases. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compound, a crystalline form, methods of using such compound to treat inflammatory skin diseases and other diseases, and processes and intermediates useful for preparing such compound.

Abstract: Provided herein are compounds of formula (I): and pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof, where A, W, X, Y and Z are defined in the specification. The compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof are Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors. Also provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds; and methods of using such compounds to treat, e.g., inflammatory and fibrotic diseases, including respiratory diseases.

Abstract: A fuel vapor recirculation system includes a filler neck adapted to receive a refueling nozzle that dispenses fuel into the filler neck. A fuel tank receives fuel from the filler neck through an inlet check valve. The check valve is disposed in the fuel inlet opening and is normally closed. The check valve opens when fuel is dispensed into the fuel tank. The check valve defines a vent hole that is always open. The fuel tank also includes a fuel limiting vent valve and a grade limit vent valve. A fuel vapor cannister collects fuel vapor and selectively supplies fuel vapor to an intake manifold of a vehicle. The fuel vapor recirculation manifold receives fuel vapor only from the fuel limiting vent valve and the grade limit vent valve in the fuel tank and does not receive fuel vapor directly from the filler neck.
