Abstract: A locking assembly for a dispenser may include a locking component and a barrel. The locking component is movable between (i) a first position configured to lock a cover of the dispenser, and (ii) a second position configured to unlock the cover. The barrel is rotatable between (i) a first barrel position configured to resist movement of the locking component, and (ii) a second barrel position configured to permit movement of the locking component. The barrel defines a barrel opening configured to receive a key or a push button. A dispenser including a dispenser plate and a cover may further include the locking assembly. The dispenser defines an interior closable with the cover. The cover is movably coupled to the dispenser plate. The locking assembly releasably secures the cover to the dispenser plate.

Abstract: A method and system of computer-automated detection of personally identifiable (PI) data in electronic data are provided. The method includes: receiving the electronic data including the PI data and transmitting the electronic data to a modifiable hash algorithm in a first computing environment. The method further includes generating, by the modifiable hash algorithm, hashed electronic data via masking the PI data; comparing, by a PI detector service function algorithm in a second computing environment, first electronic data fields of the received electronic data including the PI data with second electronic data fields of the hashed electronic data including the masked PI data in order to detect a match indicating a presence of unmasked PI data between the first and second electronic data fields; generating, by the PI detector service function algorithm, a result with a confidence level based on the comparison; and outputting the result with the confidence level.

Abstract: A communication assembly (100, 200, 300) configured for use in a connection system suitable for transmission of power with voltage levels greater than or equal to 1 KV is provided. The communications assembly comprises an outer housing portion (102, 202, 302) configured to be mounted at a mounting location of the connection system, and an inner portion (104, 204, 304) positioned in the outer housing portion, the inner portion comprising a connection end (106, 206, 306) and being configured to provide at least one path for transmission of a communications signal, the connection end comprising at least one fibre optic connector (110, 210, 310). A communication system (700) and a connection component (900) are also provided, each configured for use in a connection system suitable for transmission of power with voltage levels greater than or equal to 1 kV.

Abstract: A valve component 1 of the invention includes a main valve 2 which is located on a centre line and at least one auxiliary valve 3 which is located radially outwardly of the main valve 2. The main valve may be used for sealing engagement with a cannula. In some cases the cannula may be used for introduction of a number of robotically controlled surgical instruments generally, including a camera. The auxiliary valves 3 may be utilised to introduce another instrument through the valve component. The valve component is mounted in a manner which ensures that the valve component 1 is rotatable about a centre line through the axis of the valve component 1.

Abstract: A suture device comprises a needle (5) which is movable between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration and a drive for rotating the needle between the retracted and extended configurations. The drive comprises an axle (18) which is rotated by a rack (12) and pinion (10) system.

Abstract: A medical device to protect a body opening, the medical device including a sleeve having a proximal end and a distal end a proximal ring attached to the proximal end of the sleeve, and a guard assembly located a distal end of the sleeve.

Abstract: Described herein are hybrid material firearms magazines that combine a polymer overmold with a metal ammunition magazine to provide a superior magazine capable of holding increased amounts of ammunition while overcoming various problems associated with traditional metal only and/or polymer only magazines as well as methods for making the magazines disclosed herein.

The valve component is mounted in a manner which ensures that the valve component 1 is rotatable about a centre line through the axis of the valve component 1. This ensures that the valve component 1 can be rotated relative to a cannula inserted through the main valve 2 and consequently that the auxiliary valves 3 are rotatable relative to the cannula allowing the auxiliary valves 3 to be positioned to facilitate optimum access and manipulation for an auxiliary instrument(s) inserted through the auxiliary valve(s) 2.

Abstract: Various techniques are used to schedule computing jobs for execution by a computing resource. In an example method, a schedule is generated by selecting, for a first slot in the schedule, a first computing job based on a first priority of the first computing job with respect to a first characteristic. A second computing job is selected for a second slot in the schedule based on a second priority of the second computing job with respect to a second characteristic. The second slot occurs after the first slot in the schedule, and the second characteristic is different than the first characteristic. The first characteristic or the second characteristic includes an execution frequency. The computing jobs are executed based on the schedule.
