摘要:
A jack shaft garage door operator for opening and closing a movable garage door has a drive containing an electric motor. A rotatable jack shaft is connected to the drive unit to be driven thereby. A pull-up cable drum is connected to and driven by the jack shaft. A pull-up cable extends from the drum about which it is wound and connects to a bottom part of the garage door to raise the door. A pivoting arm is mounted near the jack shaft and provides tension to the cable. A shaft lock hub mounted on the jack shaft is engaged and locked by the arm if the tension in the cable drops. A stop is mounted on the garage door for engagement by the movable arm in the event that the door is opened without the cable being drawn in the cable drum.

A method for detecting symptomatic osteoarthritis in a human patient who is otherwise asymptomatic comprises: taking a plurality of magnetic resonance (MR) image signal features from MR sequences in a joint of the patient; submitting the MR image signal features to a classifier for performing a feature reduction for redundant or unnecessary features; calculating a signal texture index (STI) value from the remaining image features; comparing that STI value against the STI values of one group of individuals suspected of being vulnerable to developing osteoarthritis at the first point in time; and the same group of individuals years later; predicting from that comparison of STI values a likelihood of the patient developing osteoarthritis; and treating the patient accordingly.
摘要:
A laryngeal tube comprising a tubular component and a nozzle having a central cavity, an anterior opening and a tongue at least partially covering the central cavity. In one example, the laryngeal tube has a first lumen to deliver gases to a patient and a fluid barrier supported by the nozzle. In other examples, the laryngeal tube may include additional lumens including a service lumen to perform a function associated with the thorax and an inflation lumen to inflate the fluid barrier.

Methods and apparatus are provided for selective surgical removal of tissue, e.g., for enlargement of diseased spinal structures, such as impinged lateral recesses and pathologically narrowed neural foramen. In some embodiments, a surgical tissue removal device includes a flexible elongate body that is adapted to conform with the target anatomy and a guidewire connector at the distal end region of the flexible elongate body configured to removably connect to the end of a guidewire so that the guidewire and flexible elongate body can be pulled distally. The body may have at least one blade edge, and the flexible elongate body may be a thin, flat, ribbon shaped flexible body that includes a profile having a width that is substantially greater than a height.

A visualization instrument comprising a display support component removably coupled to a component insertable into a target space. The insertable component includes a camera providing images of the target space. The images are presented in a display device supported by the display support component. The insertable component may be discarded after a permitted number of uses.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for making fuel cell components via a roll to roll process are described. Spaced apart apertures are cut in first and second gasket webs that each include adhesives. The first and second gasket webs are transported to a bonding station on conveyers. A membrane web that includes at least an electrolyte membrane is also transported to the bonding station. At the bonding station, a gasketed membrane web is formed by attaching the first and second gasket webs to the membrane web. The first gasket web is attached to a first surface of the membrane web via the adhesive layer of the first gasket web. The second gasket web is attached to a second surface of the membrane web via the adhesive layer of the second gasket web.

An example of a system for presenting coupons is disclosed herein. An example of the system includes a user interface to collect information from a user and present coupons to the user and a non-transitory storage medium including a first database of information relating to the user collected from the user interface and further including a second database of coupons. The system also includes a coupon engine to: aggregate coupons from different sources, normalize the coupons into a common coupon data format, and store the coupons in the second database of the non-transitory storage medium. The system further includes an offer engine to analyze the coupons in the second database based in part on the collected information in the first database relating to the user to create a set of coupons for the user. An example of a method for presenting personalized coupon offers is also disclosed.
摘要:
Hydride vapor-phase deposition (HVPE) systems are disclosed. An HVPE hydride vapor-phase deposition system may include a reactant source chamber and a growth chamber containing a susceptor coupled to the reactant source chamber. The reactant source chamber may be configured to create a reactant gas through a chemical reaction between a solid or liquid precursor and a different precursor gas. The reactant source chamber can be configured to operate at a temperature T(M) significantly above room temperature. The reactant gas can be chemically unstable at or near room temperature. The susceptor is configured to receive a substrate and maintain the substrate at a substrate temperature T(S). The growth chamber includes walls can be configured to operate at a temperature T(C) such that T(M), T(S) are greater than T(C).
