Abstract: Systems and methods of operating a human-machine interface (HMI) with a graphical user interface (GUI). A color spectrum is displayed along with a topic. A selection of a point on the color spectrum is received, and associated in a memory with the displayed topic. A data record is stored indicating a sentiment associated with the topic. The sentiment includes an intensity level and an emotion level. The intensity level is one of multiple intensity levels that change along a first dimension of the color spectrum, and the emotion level is one of multiple emotion levels that change along a second dimension of the color spectrum.

Abstract: A clinical data management system (1) has databases (20), processors in servers (2-4) which are programmed to process clinical data and communicate with user interfaces and external systems interfaces, and at least one database. The system imports source data from disparate clinical site sources into staging databases at refresh intervals, maintains data models, and maps data from the staging databases into the data models, and feeds data from the data models into data delivery databases. There is a uniform refresh frequency for the staging databases. The system output is regularly updated data for clinical site performance, quality and risk metrics to a clinical study team. The data mapper servers identify each of a plurality of source data stages, and transform data from each stage to one or more data models according to one or more mapsets, each mapset defining a transformation.

Abstract: Methods for producing a silyl-functionalized polyolefin with silyl monomer incorporation are provided. The method includes reacting a silicon-containing olefin with an ?-olefin, in the presence of a catalytic amount of a group IV catalyst for a time sufficient to produce a silyl-functionalized polyolefin.

Abstract: A new process of manufacturing a hybrid cannula may include creating a first part with at least two components, overmolding at least two components of a second part to a channel in each component of the first part, and fixing the components of the first part together. The second part may include various types of features such as thick/thin dams, squirt membranes, and/or duck bill dams inside the hybrid cannula. Each dam may have any number, shape, orientation, and length of slits/openings. The slits/openings may allow passage of an instrument while the dam(s) may prevent fluid from passing through the hybrid cannula. A third part may optionally be overmolded to at least a portion of the first part, at least a portion of the second part, or both. The third part may provide an extension, a flange, or a combination thereof at a distal end of the hybrid cannula.
