摘要:
A method of monitoring a subject for medical conditions includes causing light to impinge on at least one eye of the subject, directing reflected light from such light beam to photosensors, converting the received reflected light to corresponding electrical signals which are delivered to a processor. Processing the signals by effecting a comparison between stored information regarding the medical condition and the data provided by the monitoring to determine if an undesired medical condition exists and, if so, communicating such result. The cycle is repeated at predetermined intervals which may be short or prolonged. The method may be employed for a wide variety of medical conditions and preferably is employed with frequent cyclic monitoring for conditions such as miosis, carbon monoxide poisoning, and blood flow related conditions. A related apparatus is provided.
摘要:
A non-invasive method for determining and characterizing the presence of damage or abnormalities resulting from or concomitant with systemic hypertension in subject. This method is comprised of the acquisition of ocular image(s) and subsequent evaluation, classification and/or interpretation of these image(s). The ocular image(s) may be acquired by photography. Evaluation, classification, and/or interpretation may be automated or involve the active participation of a human. The ocular images may be classified into either a normal or clinical group or compared to an algorithm of hypertensive symptoms. The ocular images may, additionally, be processed and have the pertinent characteristics extracted to make the classification more exact.

A convertible article of luggage assembly for facilitating a user to sleep in an airport includes a first article of luggage and a second article of luggage that is pivotally coupled to the first article of luggage. Each of the first article of luggage and the second article of luggage is positionable in a closed position to form a suitcase. Conversely, each of the first article of luggage and the second article of luggage is positionable in an open position to form a sleeping surface. A first mattress is coupled to the first article of luggage and a second mattress is coupled to the second article of luggage to enhance comfort for the user when the user lies on the sleeping surface.
摘要:
A method and apparatus include a terminal device receiving a first message from a server that hosts a service available to the terminal device. The first message includes information about at least one attribute relating to a changeability of that at least one attribute having been changed. The terminal device sends a second message to the server in response to the first message that includes information identifying the information about the at least one attribute of the first message. The terminal device receives a third message from the server that includes information indicating a changeability setting for each of the at least one attribute identified in the first message. The terminal device updates how a user interface for the service is to be displayed so the user interface is displayed with attributes relating to the service being indicated as changeable or unchangeable in accordance with the third message.

摘要:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for steam purging a solid oxide fuel cell stack. Purging the SOFC stack with steam has a physical flushing effect, removing carbon monoxide containing reformate and free oxygen gas from the anode area thereby reducing the potential for nickel oxide or nickel carbonyl formation.
摘要:
We have developed DNA and viral vectors that can be used, alone or in combination, as a vaccine against one HIV clade, subtype, or recombinant form of HIV or against multiple HIV clades, subtypes, or recombinant forms. Moreover, the vectors can encode a variety of antigens, which may be obtained from one clade or from two or more different clades, and the antigens selected and/or the manner in which the vectors are formulated (e.g., mixed) can be manipulated to generate a protective immune response against a variety of clades (e.g., the clades to which a patient is most likely to be exposed; with the proportions of the components of the vaccine tailored to the extent of the patient's risk to a particular clade or clades).
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for identifying an inhibitor to the formation of naphthenate solids in a liquid hydrocarbon including contacting a sample of the liquid hydrocarbon with an inhibitor and a buffered aqueous solution, observing the extent of formation of naphthenate solids, if any, the extent of formation of naphthenate solids being indicative of the effectiveness of the inhibitor, and repeating the steps, if necessary, until a suitable inhibitor is identified. The present invention also relates to a method for identifying an inhibitor to the formation of naphthenate scale in a liquid hydrocarbon system as well as test kits for use in the methods.
摘要:
Embodiments of the invention provide an apparatus, method, and program product to control a lamp system. The apparatus comprises a plasma lamp bulb (20) and a microwave generator (12) operable to generate a microwave energy field to excite the plasma lamp bulb (20) to emit ultraviolet light (24). The apparatus further comprises a sensor (70) to measure the intensity of the ultraviolet light (24) and a reflector (42) positioned between the plasma lamp bulb (20) and the sensor (70) The reflector (42) is operable to reflect at least a portion of the ultraviolet light (24) generated by the plasma lamp bulb (20). The method comprises receiving a target intensity for the ultraviolet light (24) and measuring an intensity of the ultraviolet light (24) using a sensor (70). The method further comprises comparing the target intensity to the measured intensity and, in response to the comparison, adjusting power to a microwave generator (12) to adjust the intensity of the ultraviolet light (24).
摘要:
Apparatus for generating ultraviolet light and methods of operating an ultraviolet light source. The apparatus may include a microwave chamber (16) enclosing an interior space, a light source (10) with a lamp head (28) coupled to the microwave chamber (16), an ultraviolet (UV) transmissive member (88) positioned above the lamp face (32) and below the interior space to define a plenum (116) therebetween, and an exhaust system (100) coupled in fluid communication with the plenum. The lamp head (28) has a lamp face (32) through which ultraviolet light (34) and cooling air (30) are emitted. The UV transmissive member (88) is configured to transmit the ultraviolet light (34) into the interior space and to divert the cooling air (30) from the interior space. The exhaust system (100) configured to exhaust the cooling air (30) from the plenum (116).
