Abstract: The system and method for determining the feedback capacity of information distributed in a complex network determines feedback capacity as information is received and diffused throughout the network. Traditionally, real networks, such as computer networks, were used in determining network feedback. However, current complex networks typically incorporate graphing models for network analysis. The system and method provide a process to determine the quality of a complex network with respect to feedback capacity, such as can be determined by a corresponding Belief Propagation algorithm and a corresponding entropy equation. The system and method can also determine the cyclic entropy per penetration in a to complex network, the depth penetration for nodes in the complex network and a plurality of cycle counts per node in the complex network based on a source node.

Abstract: The method for determining risk of metastatic relapse in a patient diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC) can include detecting a level of at least one indicator of metastatic potential in a biological sample from the patient, comparing the level of the indicator of metastatic potential with a control, and identifying the patient as one who is at risk of metastatic relapse and a candidate for chemotherapy if an aberrant level of the indicator of metastatic potential in the biological sample compared to the control is detected. The at least one indicator of metastatic potential can include at least one metastasis-inducing gene and/or at least one metastasis suppressor gene. An aberrant level of the at least one indicator of metastatic potential can include a copy number gain of the metastasis-inducing gene and/or a copy number loss of the metastasis-suppressor gene.

Abstract: The combined pump and energy recovery turbine includes at least one fluid flow pressurizing a sliding vane pump and a sliding vane energy recovery turbine that recovers energy from a second fluid flow, such as the brine discharge from an RO seawater desalination system. A cylindrical rotor has two sliding vanes in respective slots, the rotor being concentrically disposed within an oval-shaped enclosure defining two mirror image crescent-shaped chambers, each chamber having inlet and outlet passageways. The first chamber pressurizes the first fluid flow, and the second chamber functions as a second outflow-driven energy recovery turbine, thus enabling the single rotor device to operate as a pressurizing pump on the first fluid flow, and second outflow-driven energy recovery turbine recovering energy from the pressure drop in the second fluid flow.

Abstract: The rotary mechanism with articulating rotor may be adapted as a pump or compressor when external power is applied to its shaft, as a motor when differential pressure is applied to its inlet and outlet ports, or as an internal combustion engine when provided with fuel, air, and ignition source. The mechanism includes an internal chamber having major and minor diameters. An articulating rotor having four linked segments rotates therein. The segments allow the rotor to articulate between square and rhomboid shapes as it rotates within the chamber, the rotor segments forming variable volume chamber portions as they rotate. The rotor segments are linked to the central shaft either by a transverse arm rotationally affixed to the central shaft and to diametrically opposed rotor segments, or by telescoping rods connecting the linked ends of the rotor segments to the central shaft.

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 process for replicating soft tissue anatomy of a dental patient prior to preparing an implant-supported fixed prosthesis is disclosed. The process may include: securing an interim prosthesis intra-orally in the dental patient for a predetermined time, after implants of the dental patient are osseointegrated, to evaluate the interim prosthesis based on a plurality of parameters within the mouth of the dental patient; printing a three-dimensional printed-resin prototype having an intaglio surface based on the evaluated interim prosthesis; attaching the three-dimensional printed-resin prototype into the implants; and injecting a low viscosity elastomeric impression material between the intaglio surface of the three-dimensional printed-resin prototype and the soft tissue of the dental patient to obtain a soft tissue replica for preparing the implant-supported fixed prosthesis.
