Abstract: A cap configured to engage a male connector and a female connector includes a first housing for the female connector having a closed bottom, an open top, and a sidewall extending between the bottom and the top, and a first absorbent support disposed in the first housing configured to contact portions of the female connector. The cap also includes a removable second housing for the male connector disposed in the first housing. The second housing includes a bottom, a top, and a sidewall extending between the bottom and the top with an outer surface of the sidewall of the second housing engaged to an inner surface of the sidewall of the first housing. The cap also includes a second absorbent support disposed in the removable second housing configured to contact portions of the male connector.

Abstract: A distributed storage system including a server is configured to accept a request including a consistency indicator that flags for the server that cross datacenter consistency is desired. The server may be required to detect the consistency indicator and in response, to determine a consistency key based at least in part on the request. In an example aspect, the consistency key may comprise a hash value determined by a hash function shared across datacenters, whereby every datacenter may determine the same consistency key for a given resource and datacenter combination. The server may be further configured to determine a preferred datacenter for handling the request based at least in part on the consistency key, and thereafter to redirect the request to the preferred datacenter. In embodiments, the consistency indicator may also denote a scope of the strong consistency required by the calling client.

Abstract: Various stabilizers for supporting a trocar and stylet are disclosed. In some implementations, a stabilizer may include a main portion through which a trocar and stylet may be inserted and supported, and a plurality of stabilizing portions to prevent movement of the stabilizer when the stabilizer is placed on a patient's body.

Abstract: A method implemented by a computing system comprises receiving, by the computing system and from a user device, a subject profile information that specifies a plurality of body measurements associated with one or more images of a subject that are captured by the user device. The computing device receives a selection of a garment, where the garment is associated with a category, a brand, a style, and a plurality of sizes. A sizing recommendation engine of the computing system determines, based on the plurality of body measurements, a particular size of the garment that is associated with the subject profile information. The computing system communicates the particular size to the user device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for assessing vehicle operation are provided. According to certain aspects, an electronic device may receive and analyze image data depicting an individual located within a vehicle. The electronic device may also access and compile certain data related to an environment of the vehicle, and specifically to the vehicle's position relative to the sun. According to embodiments, the electronic device may determine, based on the accessed data, whether the vehicle is traveling into a direction of the sun, and may generate and record an indication of the same.
