Abstract: An integrated pressure regulator is provided with three stages configured to reduce an extreme tank pressure down to a typical working pressure. The regulator is configured to supply a steady working pressure until the tank pressure is reduced to little more than the working pressure itself. Stages of the pressure regulator are integrated into a body and arranged to minimize regulator mass and volume. A thermally-triggered pressure relief device may be included with a triggering time adapted to enhance the safety of smaller cylinders that may be used, e.g., in aerial applications.

Abstract: The invention provides gastric residence systems, or components of gastric residence system such as segments or elongate members of gastric residence systems, with release rate-modulating films and methods for making and using such systems. The release rate-modulating films provide good control over release of agents (such as therapeutic, diagnostic, or nutritional agents) present in the gastric residence system. The films also permit higher drug loading in the gastric residence systems and components of gastric residence systems while maintaining good control over release of agents. Some embodiments of the films can provide resistance against burst release of agent upon exposure to alcohol.

Abstract: According to the present disclosure, features, components and techniques useable for providing air cleaner arrangements are provided. Many of the features relate to an axial seal arrangement provided on a filter cartridge. A typical filter cartridge, for use with these features, is a filter cartridge having opposite flow ends. Example media arrangements that fit this characterization are described. Seal arrangements provided with an axial housing sealing engagement surface are shown. A seal arrangement is provided. Also, air cleaner assemblies having advantageous features therein are provided. Further, air cleaner housings are described, with selected, preferred features for engagement with filter cartridges.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems and non-transitory computer readable memory for vulnerability detection and management. For instance, a method may include obtain asset information for an organization, wherein the asset information indicates a plurality of assets; obtain a set of grouping rules, wherein the set of grouping rules defines a plurality of groups based on asset attributes; obtain asset data from at least one source, wherein the asset data indicates particular attributes for at least a subset of assets of the plurality of assets; determine at least one specific group for each of the subset of assets; generate a data structure associating each asset of the subset of assets to a first group, thereby grouping the subset of assets into the first group; and perform at least one vulnerability management action using a command that applies to all of the assets, and only the assets, of the first group.

Abstract: A vehicle anti-theft device and method to operate it are disclosed whereby the user may deactivate the flow of energy or fuel to a vehicle motor or engine when the vehicle is operated without authority of the user.

Abstract: A valve includes a housing, a ball rotatably coupled to the housing, a handle coupled to the ball, a ball retainer coupled to the housing, and a radial seal. The housing includes an inlet, an outlet, a passage between the inlet and the outlet, and a lower housing bore. The ball includes a body, a lower trunnion, and an opening through the body. The handle is operable by a user to rotate the ball in the housing to align the opening with the passage of the housing to open the valve. The ball retainer retains the ball in the housing. The ball retainer includes a threaded portion and a shaft portion in the lower housing bore. The radial seal is between the shaft portion and the lower housing bore.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for detection and diagnosis of concussion and/or acute neurologic injury comprising a portable headwear-based electrode array and computerized control system to automatically and accurately detect cortical spreading depression and acute neurological injury-based peri-infarct depolarization (CSD/PID). The portable headwear-based electrode system is applied to a patient or athlete, and is capable of performing an assessment automatically and with minimal user input. The user display indicates the presence of CSD/PID, gauges its severity and location, and stores the information for future use by medical professionals. The systems and methods of the invention use an instrumented DC-coupled electrode/amplifier array which performs real-time data analysis using unique algorithms to produce a voltage intensity-map revealing the temporally propagating wave depressed voltage across the scalp that originates from a CSD/PID on the brain surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods of purifying viral vectors from cell culture. In particular, the invention relates to a method of purifying a supernatant containing viral vectors from a cell culture by removing cells by filtering the cell culture using diatomaceous earth.

Abstract: A valve is disclosed with a clamp mechanism that accepts interchangeable outlet connections. The interchangeable outlook connections may have different sealing geometries, where different sealing geometries are specified to be used with different gases. For use with a particular gas, the valve may be configured with the interchangeable outlook connection with the sealing geometry that is appropriate for that gas.
