Abstract: An automated urine-output-measurement system can include single-patient equipment and/or multi-patient equipment. The single-patient equipment can include a urinary catheter and a urine-collection system. The urine-collection system can include drainage tubing and a drainage receptacle. The multi-patient equipment can include a urine monitor. The urine monitor can include a housing having a cavity configured to completely encompass the drainage receptacle, a urine measurement device configured to measure urine output into the drainage receptacle, and an integrated display screen configured to display patient information including measurements of the urine output. A method of the automated urine-output-measurement system can include placing the drainage receptacle in the urine monitor of the automated urine-output-measurement system, and confirming a volume of urine in the drainage receptacle with that indicated on the urine monitor once a patient has produced urine.

Abstract: The present invention is a container system comprised of a ridged container, a dispenser that can be secured to a receptacle that is integral to the container and a closure, various methods of manufacturing the container and automated means of placing the dispenser on the receptacle. The container system is generally intended to store dry or granulated substances. The container has an integral receptacle to stow the dispenser. The receptacle has indexing features to aid automation. The dispenser has a coupling feature that engages the receptacle of the container as well guiding features to direct its travel during automation. The dispenser becomes trapped on the receptacle when the closure is in place. The means of automation uses the indexing features on the receptacle to orient the container and the guiding features on the dispenser to direct the dispenser onto the receptacle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a work holding and clamping device, which increases the usable span to almost twice its stored length. This clamping device has an inner and outer assembly which are nested, and each assembly is made of a rectangular tube with a jaw affixed to one end. The inner assembly contains a locking mechanism to allow for length adjustment. When arranged so that the jaws are on the same side of the respective assemblies, the clamp is capable of a span that is almost equal to the length of the inner assembly. When arranged so that the jaws are on opposite sides of the respective assemblies, the clamp is capable of a span that is almost equal to the sum of the length of the inner assembly and outer assembly.

The device is a carpenter speed square generally comprised of a flat triangular frame with one 90 degree angle and two 45 degree angles. The frame has a flange that protrudes outward from its top and bottom faces along one of the edges adjacent to the 90 degree angle. The device has an integrated means for sharpening pencils. With respect to the associated method, the user holds the device in their non-dominant hand with that hand wrapping around the flange with the right angle on the side adjacent to the thumb. Using their dominant hand and the integrated pencil sharpener the pencil is sharpened. Once sharpened, the pencil will be in the users dominate hand and the device will be in the uses non-dominate hand which is conducive to common layout and marking operations.

Abstract: A method and system for treating calcium-based stone having a surface to be treated for corrosion and stain resistance is provided. The system comprises a sanding unit to sand the surface of the calcium-based stone with a grit size of 40 to 100 to promote coating adhesion. The system further comprises a coating unit to coat the surface of the calcium-based stone with a predetermined amount of a coating material for corrosion and stain resistance defining an uncured coating on the surface. The system further comprises a curing unit to cure the uncured coating on the surface with a photo-initiator defining a cured coating on the surface. The system further comprises a polishing unit to polish the cured coating on the surface with a grit size of 1000 to 3000. The system further comprises a buffing unit to buff the cured coating on the surface with a fabric defining a treated surface of the calcium-based stone.

Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present application are directed to automatic adjustment and sharing of content. In one example, a distributed storage service may access content and automatically execute recognition processing for the content. The distributed storage service may automatically execute a clean-up operation on the content based on a result of execution of the recognition processing. A version of the cleaned-up content may be automatically transmitted to a distributed storage associated with a user account of the distributed storage service. As the distributed storage service is executing automatic operations on behalf of a user, the distributed storage service automatically generates a push notification indicating that the content is cleaned-up and ready to be shared with other user accounts of the distributed storage service. In some examples, the push notification may comprise the cleaned-up content. The push notification may be displayed on a client computing device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to photoresist compositions comprising a base resin such as a monomer capable of radical polymerization upon photoinitiation, and photoinitiator molecules such as a diketone, and multicolor photolithography methods. Photoresist compositions comprise photoinitiator molecules that are exposed to a first radiation source, thereby exciting the photoinitiator molecules from a ground state to a pre-activated state. The pre-activated state molecules are then exposed to a second radiation source in selected locations, thereby deactivating the pre-activated state molecules in the selected locations. Any remaining pre-activated state molecules are exposed to a third radiation source, exciting such remaining pre-activated state photoinitiator molecules to an activated state. Polymerization of the base resin is then initiated.
