Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer program products for computational polymer processing including, without limitation, computational amphiphilic polymer design, conformational energy minimization, generation and refinement of torsional parameters for sub-units of potential polymers, generation of modified force field parameters, and prediction of conformational information for potential polymers. The predicted conformational information is then used to select one or more of the target polymer backbones as candidate amphiphilic polymer backbones for synthesis.

Abstract:
A processor obtains input of a logistically attainable end tidal partial pressure of gas X (PetX[i]T) for one or more respective breaths [i] and input of a prospective computation of an amount of gas X required to be inspired by the subject in an inspired gas to target the PetX[i]T for a respective breath [i] using inputs required to utilize a mass balance relationship, wherein one or more values required to control the amount of gas X in a volume of gas delivered to the subject is output from an expression of the mass balance relationship. The mass balance relationship is expressed in a form which takes into account (prospectively), for a respective breath [i], the amount of gas X in the capillaries surrounding the alveoli and the amount of gas X in the alveoli, optionally based on a model of the lung which accounts for those sub-volumes of gas in the lung which substantially affect the alveolar gas X concentration affecting mass transfer.
Abstract:
An apparatus, method and system for delivering CO2 into an inspiratory gas stream to formulate a blended respiratory gas in a manner that continuously maintains a target CO2 concentration in a volume of the inspired respiratory gas, for example, over the course of a breath or a volumetrically definable part thereof or a series of partial or full breaths.
Abstract:
A method of controlling a gas delivery apparatus including an apparatus controllable variable using an iterative algorithm to deliver a test gas (TG) for non- invasively determining a subject's pulmonary blood flow comprising iteratively generating and evaluating test values of a iterated variable based on an iterative algorithm in order output a test value of the iterated variable that meets a testcriterion wherein iterative algorithm is characterized in that it defines a test mathematical relationship between the at least one apparatus controllable variable, the iterated variable and an end tidal concentration of test gas attained by setting the apparatus controllable variable, such that the iterative algorithm is determinative of whether iteration on the test value satisfies a test criterion or iteratively generates a progressively refined test value.
Abstract:
The present invention is a surgical template and method for drilling osteotomies (e.g., holes in a jaw bone), and installing one or more dental implants (170) using a surgical template assembly (10). The surgical template assembly (10) is provided with one or more drill guides (120, 130), and one or more dental implant guides (140). The guides are positioned in the template assembly (10) by a computer driven milling machine (60) interfaced with a computer generated image of a patient's jaw bone, and a computer generated simulation of at least one dental implant so that when the template (100) is placed in the patient's mouth a trajectory of the guides in the template (100) into the patient's jawbone corresponds to a trajectory of the computer generated simulation of the dental implant (170) into the computer generated image of the patient's jawbone. Preferably, three fiducial markers (70) provide positional coordination between the CT scan data, the computer generated simulation of the dental implant, and the computer driven milling machine (60).
Abstract:
This invention is a temperature gauge (30) for surgical drills (15) of the type having a surgical head (18) to which a drill bur (20) having a throughbore extending to its drill bur tip is removably mounted, and includes a temperature sensor (36) receivable in the drill bur throughbore for sensing and measuring the temperature at the drill bur tip and a thermometer (31) coupled to the temperature sensor (36) for displaying the temperature at the drill bur tip. A method of measuring the temperature of the drill site in the bone of a patient is also disclosed.
