Abstract: The system for making suspensions includes a housing, with a platform mounted therein and a translating table slidably mounted on the platform for removably supporting a receptacle. A base fluid tank stores a base fluid, and a solid particle container stores solid particles. A rotating dispenser system is mounted within the housing, above the platform and the receptacle. The rotating dispenser includes a base fluid dispenser for dispensing a controlled mass of the base fluid into the receptacle, and a solid particle dispenser for dispensing a controlled mass of the solid particles into the receptacle. The base fluid dispenser is in communication with the base fluid tank, and the solid particle dispenser is in communication with the solid particle container. A mixer selectively and controllably mixes the controlled mass of the base fluid and the controlled mass of the solid particles in the receptacle to form the suspension.

Abstract: A ventilator includes at-least one air vessel, at-least one inflation bag, at-least one connecting member, a bag holder and at-least one controller member. The at-least one connecting member connects to the at-least one air vessel. The bag holder may hold the inflation bag. The at-least one controller member operates the at-least one inflation bag thereby changing size of the inflation bag to vary a tidal volume and an inspiration-expiration ratio of the ventilator. In another aspect, at-least one controller member is mounted on the bag holder. Further, the at-least one controller member slides within the bag holder to change the shape of the inflation bag to vary a tidal volume and an inspiration-expiration ratio of the ventilator.

Abstract: The air conditioning system with solar-powered subcooling system includes a main cooling system having an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion valve configured to operate in a conventional vapor compression refrigerant cycle. The subcooling system includes a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion valve, the compressor being powered by at least one rechargeable battery connected to a photovoltaic solar panel. The main system and the subcooling system are linked by a heat exchanger having a primary coil in the main system between the condenser and the expansion valve and a secondary coil in the subcooling system disposed between the expansion valve and the compressor. The main system and the subcooling system may use the same type of refrigerant, or different refrigerant types. The additional cooling provided to the refrigerant in the main system by subcooling increases the efficiency of the air conditioning system.

Abstract: The apparatus for measuring disentrainment rate of air includes a Confined Plunging Liquid Jet Reactor (CPLJR) having a downcomer column surrounding a liquid jet. The end of the downcomer column is partially immersed in a receiving liquid pool contained in a reservoir. A conical ring is placed in the downcomer column below the liquid jet, the ring bearing against the wall of the downcomer column and forming a seal to define a headspace in the column. A gas supply and first bubble meter are connected to the column above the conical ring to supply gas and measure total entrainment. A second bubble meter connected to the headspace between the ring and the receiving pool measures disentrainment, and a third bubble meter connected to headspace above the receiving pool outside the column measures net entrainment.

Abstract: The method of preventing reperfusion injury in reperfusion therapy is a medical technique for prevention of reperfusion injury in a patient where reperfusion therapy is necessary, such as following myocardial infarction (MI) or heat transplant in the patient. The patient is treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) prior to an ischemic event or, alternatively, following the ischemic event, with the intravenous immunoglobulin providing cardio-protective effects to the patient for preventing reperfusion injury. The treatment with the IVIG may be used with any suitable type of reperfusion therapy, such as thrombolytic therapy, coronary angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery.

Abstract: The cooling system for patients with fever is a mechanical, fluid-based system for cooling patients suffering from fever. The cooling system for patients with fever includes a reservoir for containing a cooling fluid, which is maintained at a desired temperature. A temperature sensor is received in the reservoir. The temperature sensor is immersed in the cooling fluid for measuring the temperature thereof. A chiller is also received in the reservoir for selectively cooling the cooling fluid when the temperature thereof, measured by the temperature sensor, is above a pre-set temperature threshold. The reservoir communicates with a cooling pad, which is formed from a padded layer having at least one channel embedded therein. At least one pump and tubing is provided for circulating the cooling fluid through the reservoir and the cooling pad. In use, the cooling pad is applied to the skin of a patient with a fever.

Abstract: The drive system for wind turbine with contra-rotating generator includes various embodiments of belt drive pulley systems for a direct drive contra-rotating wind generator. The generator has a magnetic rotor and an armature mounted on a shaft configured to rotate in the opposite direction from the magnetic rotor. In some embodiments, a belt extends across two pairs of coaxially mounted idler pulleys between a pulley on the magnetic rotor shaft and a pulley on the armature shaft. In other embodiments, the pulleys on the magnetic rotor and armature shafts are double sheave pulleys, and a first belt extends across one or two coaxial pair(s) of idler pulleys between an inner and outer sheave, and a second belt extends across one or two coaxial pair(s) of idler pulleys between an inner and outer sheave. Either the magnetic rotor or the armature shaft or both are coupled to a wind turbine rotor.

Abstract: The green tea extract composition for hepatic fibrosis includes green tea extract encapsulated in chitosan nanoparticles. In order to treat a patient suffering from hepatic fibrosis, the patient is administered a therapeutically effective dose of the green tea extract composition for hepatic fibrosis. The treatment is preferably administered orally. In order to make the green tea extract treatment, chitosan and green tea extract (prepared from Camellia sinensis) are mixed in de-ionized water to form a first solution, which is then stirred. Pentasodium triphosphate is added to the first solution to foam a second solution, which is then sonicated to form nanoparticles of green tea extract encapsulated in chitosan. Preferably, the second solution is further stirred for approximately two hours following the sonication.
