Abstract: A crimp fitting fluidically joins two sections of tubing, one section of tubing having a straight end and the other section of tubing having an expanded end. The fitting includes a cylindrical body having inner and outer walls, first and second sections and a transition region. The first section inner and outer diameters are greater than the second section inner and outer diameters. An inwardly oriented stop wall is between the first and second sections. First and second protuberances in the body define first and second annular recesses. The expanded end tubing section is positioned in the fitting first section with the expanded end against the stop wall and the straight end tubing section is positioned in the fitting second section with the straight end positioned in the expanded end. Crimps are formed in the fitting to secure the two sections of tubing in the fitting and to one another. A method of making the fitting and a method of using the fitting are also disclosed.

Abstract: Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are commonly used to assess patients with known or suspected pathologies of the lungs and liver. In particular, identification and quantification of possibly malignant regions identified in these high-resolution images is essential for accurate and timely diagnosis. However, careful quantitative assessment of lung and liver lesions is tedious and time consuming. This disclosure describes an automated end-to-end pipeline for accurate lesion detection and segmentation.

A system may include at least one datacenter sensor in data communication with the SCS to communicate a datacenter state variable to the SCS. A system may include at least one environmental sensor in data communication with the SCS to communicate an environmental state variable to the SCS. A system may include a water aware controller in data communication with the SCS, wherein the water aware controller includes a predictor that receives a datacenter state input based on the datacenter state variable, the environmental state input based on the environmental state variable, and at least one user objective function, and the water aware controller transmits a selected action to the SCS to meet a setpoint based on the datacenter state input and the environmental state input.

Abstract: Optical systems have uses, such as in spectrometers, for directing a beam. A spectrometer, for example, utilizes an optical system for directing an incident beam toward a sample and receiving a spectroscopy signal from the sample. In various implementations, for example, an optical system may be further configured to move a beam with respect to a target, such as a sample, and still provide a home position where the beam is directed in a stationary configuration. A self-homing (e.g., self-centering) optical system may provide a “home” position in which the beam is directed in a first stationary mode while still allowing a focused beam to be moved with respect to a target in a second dynamic mode.

The charge circuit is coupled to a voltage supply and the switch circuit, wherein the charge circuit is configured to harvest a portion of current flowing through the switch circuit between the input terminal and the output terminal to maintain a charge at the control terminal greater than a programmed amount in a first state of operation and prevent charge from leaking from the control terminal. The shutoff circuit is coupled to the switch circuit and configured to discharge the charge at the control terminal in a second state of operation.

Abstract: A mission monitor for planning non-scheduled flight plan operations during a flight such that a user or the system may direct the aircraft to a safe position if the pilot or aircraft cease to perform as planned. Upon user selection or a triggering event the mission monitor may select and cause the aircraft to fly a determined best course of action at any particular point inflight. The mission monitor may remotely and wirelessly receive flight, pilot, aircraft, and operator information. In some implementations mission monitor features may be distributed between individual modules. In one embodiment the system determines current aircraft configuration against an expected aircraft configuration to detect configuration errors, and then utilize configuration errors and error trends to manage aircraft configuration and mission operation. The system may divert the aircraft to the best available landing sites or reconfigure the aircraft to resolve configuration errors.

Abstract: A system for collection and distribution of curated tagged content includes a server or collection of servers in communication with one or more networks. The servers receive moment files generated by recording users via recording devices; each moment file is associated with a tagged object (e.g., physical or virtual) and includes associated media content. Each moment file is associated with recorder-side filtering via which a potential reader may be defined as an eligible or ineligible reader of the moment file. The server stores the received moment files to memory and receives indications of an eligible reading device near an associated tagged object and displays eligible interactive AR/VR content to a reading user having a reader-side filter indicating an interest in the content.
