Abstract: An example device includes a user interface component that implements a user interface and receives a visualization request value from user operations; an inspection database comprising an aggregation of inspection data; and a controller, comprising: a facility planning circuit that interprets a user facility visualization value in response to the visualization request value; a facility inspection data circuit that interprets the aggregation of inspection data in response to the user facility visualization value; a geographic depiction circuit that determines a geographic display boundary and a hierarchical inspection presentation for at least one industrial facility positioned within the geographic display boundary in response to the user facility visualization value and the aggregation of inspection data, and determines a user geographic display value in response to the geographic display boundary and the hierarchical inspection presentation.

Abstract: Protective garments are disclosed having fabric treated with a water resistant treatment. The water resistant treatment includes a combination of a water resistant concentrate and a solvent. In accordance with the present disclosure, the water resistant treatment is substantially free of fluorocarbon chemicals and yet provides not only excellent water resistance, but also excellent breathability and comfort. The water resistant treatment may be particularly applicable for use in reapplications.

Abstract: Provided are methods and compositions for the heterologous expression of a payload (e.g., DNA, RNA, protein) of interest in a target cell (e.g., cancer cell). In some cases payload delivery results in expression (e.g., by a cancer cell in vivo) of a secreted immune signal such as a cytokine, a plasma membrane-tethered affinity marker (thus resulting in an induced immune response), or a cytotoxic protein such as an apoptosis inducer (e.g., by a cancer cell in vivo). Payloads are delivered with a delivery vehicle and in some cases the delivery vehicle is a nanoparticle. In some cases a subject nanoparticle includes a targeting ligand for targeted delivery to a specific cell type/tissue type (e.g., a cancerous tissue/cell). In some embodiments, payload delivery is “personalized” in the sense that the delivery vehicle and/or payload can be designed based on patient-specific information.

Abstract: A protective case for a nose cannula when not in use. It effectively ensures that the device is protected from dirt, dust, and bacteria. It prevents individuals from placing a contaminated cannula back into their nose. It keeps dirt or bacteria from causing an infection by entering the nasal passage and lungs. It offers a convenient and accessible cover with an optional decorative design.

Abstract: The systems and methods described herein are directed to monitoring the force or pressure applied to a portion of the human body, including in the neck region of a patient during a medical procedure, such as tracheal intubation, to ensure that the medical personnel are applying the desired level of force, and in regions of bony prominences to monitor and prevent the formation of pressure ulcers or decubitus ulcers. In particular, the systems and methods described herein include piezoresistive elements connected to signal processing circuitry for measuring the force or pressure.

Abstract: A method, device, or system is arranged to determine the presence of a person. The system includes a data store that stores a plurality of locations and stores a subset of the plurality of locations.
