Abstract: The present disclosure provides a new and improved method and apparatus of scheduling for a charging infrastructure serving a plurality of electric vehicles. A computer-implemented method for scheduling a charging infrastructure serving a plurality of electric vehicles is provided, in which a prediction for a usage pattern of the charging infrastructure is made with a context based on historical usage patterns of the charging infrastructure and the contexts of the historical usage patterns, and a schedule scheme for deciding a distribution of charging spots of the charging infrastructure among the electric vehicles is determined based on the predicted usage pattern.

Abstract: A graphical user interface can be generated on a display by a processor. The graphical user interface can be rendered, on a display, with a first circular representation of a directory structure of a first directory of an electronic content management system. The first circular representation can have a hierarchy of levels representative of a hierarchy within the first directory. The first circular representation can be rendered in a display that displays the graphical user interface. A second circular representation of a second directory within the first directory can be generated. The second circular representation of the second directory can have a hierarchy of levels representative of a hierarchy within the second directory. The second circular representation of the second directory can be generated in response to a user input selecting the second directory.

Abstract: An exhaust aftertreatment system, including injection of chemical species, has a mixer in the exhaust pipe between the injector and the aftertreatment element. The mixer is provided by a stamped muffler flange.

Abstract: A stabilized hemoglobin solution is contacted with polymerizing agent. The stabilized hemoglobin solution includes stabilized tetrameric hemoglobin. At least a portion of the stabilized tetrameric hemoglobin is polymerized by reaction with the polymerizing agent, thereby producing a polymerized hemoglobin solution. In one embodiment, the stabilized hemoglobin solution includes a filtrate formed by filtrating polymerized solution of native hemoglobin through a filter having a molecular weight cut off of about 100 kD.

Abstract: A spring-loaded, cylindrical suture passer with hand grip and release button, capable of firmly grasping suture within a clamping inner cannula, particularly useful in facial plastic and head and neck surgery. The suture passer's design facilitates smaller entry incisions and less subcutaneous tissue dissection in order to pass sutures through soft tissues, thereby reducing post-operative swelling and recovery time.

Abstract: A method of treatment of a patient includes administering to the patient stored red blood cells and a hemoglobin solution. The stored red blood cells and the hemoglobin solution can be administered to the patient simultaneously. Alternatively, the hemoglobin solution can be administered to the patient prior to administrating the stored red blood cells or the stored red blood cells can be administered to the patient prior to administering the hemoglobin solution. A composition of the invention includes stored red blood cells and a hemoglobin solution.
