Abstract: A system for providing shade onto a surface is described herein. The system includes a canopy configured for engagement with, and aerial suspension by, a frame. The frame includes a plurality of sections configured for end-to-end alignment from a left end to a right end of the frame. Each section is configured to engage with any adjacent sections to form the frame. The ends of the frame are secured to the surface, thereby aerially suspending the canopy and providing shade to the surface.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for improving signal propagation using lasers. A laser device is used to clear the air between a first fixed station, such as a base station, and a second fixed station, such as a fixed wireless access device. In the wake of the laser, particles in the air interface are cleared along a path that can then be used to communicate one or more sets of wireless signals. In the wake of the laser, the wireless signals experience less absorption, reflection, and refraction, reducing path loss, and increasing the overall effectiveness of the wireless system—particularly at or near the cell edge or when a meteorological condition exists between the fixed stations.

Abstract: A rod belt, in particular for rod belt conveyors of agricultural machines, the rod belt having a running direction and comprising: tensile stress-resistant, elastic and continuous belts running in parallel to one another; transverse rods arranged perpendicular to the running direction and parallel to one another in a pre-determined rod spacing, each transverse rod having mounting sections with which the transverse rods rests on the belts, wherein the transverse rods are fastened to the belts by attachment means, passing through the mounting sections of the transverse rods and the belts; and protective forge covers attached to the belts, each forge cover having a mounting profile and a flexible protection profile.

Abstract: A vascular repair device assembly includes a main prostheses, first internal prostheses, an optional second internal prostheses, and at least two sub-prostheses. Methods for delivering vascular repair devices include delivering a vascular repair device through a blood vessel to the aneurysm site, aligning a proximal open end of a main prosthesis cranially to the site of the aneurysm patient and directing a distal end of at least one additional one vascular repair device through a proximal end of at least a first internal lumen, and aligning the proximal end of the additional vascular repair device into a distal end of the at least one sub-prosthesis.

Abstract: A system for obscuring a source IP address of a source network device from a destination network device comprises a proxy manager and first and second disposable network proxies. Credentials for a plurality of disposable network proxies are provided to the source network device. A proxy disposal trigger is generated for each disposable network proxy in the plurality of disposable network proxies based on usage of the disposable network proxy. A connection request comprising the credentials and a destination IP address of the destination network device is received from the source network device. First traffic from the source network device to the destination network device is forwarded over a first connection with the destination network device that uses an IP address of the disposable network proxy. Second traffic from the destination network device to the source network device is forwarded over a second network connection with the source network device.

Abstract: An infusion pump includes a housing with a door pivotally mounted to the housing, a tube channel on the housing configured to hold a tube in the infusion pump, a pumping mechanism including a shuttle, and a slide clamp ejection device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for facilitating a discreet connection between a user and a service. A first reverse proxy connection is configured to receive a connection from the user to set up the discreet connection, where an invitation indicating a mechanism for accessing the first reverse proxy connection is provided to the user. Access credentials are transmitted to the user over the first reverse proxy connection, the access credentials including an address for accessing a second reverse proxy connection, the first reverse proxy connection being deleted following delivery of the access credentials. The second reverse proxy connection facilitates the discreet connection between the user and the service without any detectable direct contact with the service.

Abstract: A system for providing shade onto a surface is disclosed, where the system includes at least one frame that includes a plurality of sections configured for engagement in an end-to-end alignment to provide the frame in a supporting configuration; a canopy defining a length and a width, the canopy being supportable by the at least one frame in the supporting configuration such that the frame extends along the length of the canopy or along the width of the canopy; and a plurality of anchors engageable with one or both of the canopy and the frame, at least one of the plurality of anchors being engageable with a corner of the canopy, wherein, in the supporting configuration, the canopy is supported by the frame and the plurality of anchors and is at least partially supportable by wind for providing shade onto the surface.

Abstract: A dual air vent assembly for wet pipe fire protection sprinkler systems allows air or gas to vent from system pipes as they fill, without spilling any water into the fire-protected environment, even if an air vent valve, operative to discharge air or gas but not fluid, fails. A shut-off valve is upstream of the first air vent valve, and a reservoir is downstream of it. Small amounts of water that escape the first air vent valve are collected in the downstream reservoir, and evaporate. The reservoir also collects fluid if the first air vent valve fails. In response to fluid in the reservoir at or above a predetermined level, the shut-off valve is actuated to arrest the flow of fluid into the first air vent valve. No water escapes the assembly, even if the first air vent valve fails. The shut-off valve may be electronically or mechanically actuated.
