Abstract: Apparatuses and associated methods relate to a coaxial stream delivery device having an inlet section and an outlet section in fluid communication via a plenum chamber. In an illustrative example, an inner radius of the plenum chamber may monotonically decrease distally along a longitudinal axis. The inlet section may include an inner tubular wall extending along the longitudinal axis. At least one bridge may extend radially inward from the inner tubular wall to coaxially align an inner conduit within the inner tubular wall relative to the longitudinal axis. The at least one bridge may define a annular sector apertures bounded by the inner tubular wall and an outer wall of the inner conduit. Various embodiments may advantageously be disposed in a fluid path to coaxially align a therapeutic fluid stream entering the inner conduit within a sheath fluid stream entering the annular sector apertures.

Abstract: A valve can include a solenoid coil, a plunger having a core configured to respond to a magnetic field generated by the solenoid coil, and a valve disc. The valve disc can be positioned at a head of the core and configured to cushion impact when the valve is closed. A projection can be positioned and configured to cushion impact when the valve is opened. The valve can be used in an air bed system in fluid connection between an air pump and an inflatable air chamber of a mattress.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems and non-transitory computer readable memory for integrated application and scheduling platform with efficient and accurate matching. For instance, a method may include receiving a comprehensive job application from a candidate via a web-based interface, storing the application data in a centralized repository, matching the candidate with job listings using a dynamic processing unit based on multi-dimensional criteria, displaying a prioritized list of job matches to the candidate, enabling the candidate to directly schedule a first-round interview through a real-time scheduling interface, and providing automated reminders about the scheduled interviews. The method streamlines the recruitment process by combining application submission, matching, and interview scheduling into a single integrated system, improving efficiency for both candidates and employers.

Abstract: An apparatus can include a housing defining a housing interior, an air pump positioned in the housing interior, and a plurality of resilient connectors connecting the air pump to the housing with the resilient connectors in tension so as to reduce transmission of vibration from the air pump to the housing during operation of the air pump.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods relate to a pneumatic compression therapy device configured to suggest content to the patient based on a determined disease state, the content pertaining to suggested changes in lifestyle based on a standard of care. In an illustrative embodiment, the suggested changes may include modifications to treatment location, treatment time, diet, eating habits, or sleeping schedule. Various examples may further sample the patient's health and automatically adjust a treatment parameter within a predetermined parameter range based on a history of measured parameters, such as limb volume, for example. In coordination with the therapeutic treatment, the therapy device may deliver suggested content to guide the patient to make more healthful lifestyle choices to reduce recovery time and improve patient health outcomes.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a catheter manipulation handle with user interface controls for steering a catheter in situ while providing an augmented (e.g., motorized, powered and tunable precision steering, and perforation safeguards) control and feedback user experience. In an illustrative example, the catheter manipulation handle may provide motor assisted operation to automatically rotate and/or deflect a distal tip of the catheter to steer and guide the distal tip to a target location in the patient's vasculature system. The augmented feedback may include, for example, haptic feedback via the handle. Haptic, audible, and/or visual feedback via the handle may indicate, for example, proximity or engagement of the distal tip with sensitive tissue. In some examples, the handle's augmented operation may advantageously amplify feedback signals to enhance the user's perception of the patient's safety with respect to the safe passage of the distal tip through the patient's vasculature.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a wearable compression therapy system for ambulatory therapy, the system including a wearable garment having one or more inflatable chambers, and a pneumatic engine locally coupled to the garment to provide control and inflation of the one or more inflatable chambers. In an illustrative embodiment, the pneumatic engine may control a pump and one or more valves to inflate the inflatable chambers. The valves and pump may be coordinated according to a pre-programmed profile. In some embodiments, the pneumatic engine may have a wireless interface configured to receive control signals from a remote mobile device untethered from the garment. The pneumatic engine may send to the remote mobile device signals indicative of sensed conditions of the compression therapy system. In some embodiments, the pneumatic engine may include a power source that advantageously permits the user to be untethered from a source of power.

Abstract: Systems, and methods relate to a medical device receiving a treatment parameter operating point within a first operating region defined by a first set of operating points for which automatic incremental adjustment of a parameter in the current operation is permitted. In an illustrative example, incremental adjustment may use artificial intelligence based on patient feedback and sensor measurement of outcomes. Some exemplary devices may receive a request to alter the current treatment parameter operating point to a second treatment parameter operating point outside the first operating region and in a second operating region in a known safe operation zone, bounded by a known unsafe zone unavailable to the user. In the second operating region, some examples may restrict the step size of incremental adjustments requested by the user. Data may be collected for cloud-based analysis, for example, to facilitate discovery of more effective treatment protocols.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a risk trace matrix engine for managing database associations, in a quality management system (QMS), between risk mitigations and features of a system having a risk-based profile. In an illustrative example, metadata may be created to associate risk mitigations with elements of a product and then metadata may be stored in a database during the design or operating lifecycle of the product, for example. The engine may dynamically build one or more trace matrices for the product design, each matrix associating risk mitigations to elements of the product design documentation. In response to any modifications that may relate to the component's specifications, for example, the engine may retrieve associated metadata and generate notifications prompting for user verification.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to an adaptable microenvironment for cellular and biological processing in a traceable, transportable unit. In an illustrative example, an apparatus consists of one or more portable cell tissue containment modules that may be removably interconnected to perform a processing step and/or transfer the stored medium to another module. Associated apparatus and methods are proposed to ensure non-contaminating mechanical or fluid communication between a plurality of modules or between a module and peripheral equipment, to limit process errors such as steps performed out of order, and to intrinsically manage identification of tissue samples with accompanying process data in a manner that decreases risk of mislabeling or otherwise mishandling a sample at all stages of the production and treatment process.
