Abstract: A dual chamber, sequential delivery syringe facilitates selective drug mixing, dosing, and administration through catheters or other vascular accessing devices (VADs), as well as post-administration flushing of catheters with a single syringe instrument. A syringe barrel incorporates an outlet, such as a Luer connector, a variable-volume, primary fluid chamber, and a secondary chamber that is pre-filled with fluid. A plunger manipulated, telescoping actuator, in conjunction with a medication stopper disposed within the barrel interior, form a valve for selectively isolating the secondary fluid chamber from fluid communication with the primary fluid chamber and/or the outlet of the syringe barrel. Valve opening is accomplished automatically by continuous advancement of the plunger.

Abstract: Some implementations are directed to adapting a client application on a feature phone based on experiment parameters. Some of those implementations are directed to adapting an assistant client application, where the assistant client application interacts with remote assistant component(s) to provide automated assistant functionalities via the assistant client application of the feature phone. Some implementations are additionally or alternatively directed to determining whether an invocation, of an assistant client application on a feature phone, is a request for transcription of voice data received in conjunction with the invocation, or is instead a request for an assistant response that is responsive to the transcription of the voice data (e.g., includes assistant content that is based on and in addition to the transcription, and that optionally lacks the transcription itself).

Abstract: Aspects of data management are described. Information for updating a cluster of storage nodes to a second version may be obtained. Based on obtaining the information, a cluster-level precheck procedure may be performed prior to initiating an update procedure for the cluster of storage nodes. Also, during the update procedure, a node-level precheck procedure may be performed prior to initiating an update of a storage node to determine whether the storage node is in a state for successful update. Based on a result of the node-level precheck, a determination of whether to delay the update of the storage node may be made.
