    摘要: Determining pace or speed based on sensor data may include determining an amount of contact time a user's foot has with a workout surface such as the ground. Contact time may be determined by identifying samples in the sensor data that correspond to various events such as a heelstrike, a toe-off and a subsequent heelstrike. In one example, these events may be identified by determining a sequence of three sample values (e.g., a triplet) that exceeds corresponding thresholds. The validity of an identified triplet (e.g., heelstrike, toe-off and heelstrike) may be confirmed by determining whether a difference between a last event sample and a middle event sample is greater than a difference between the middle event sample and an initial event sample. Once confirmed, a contact time may be determined from the triplet. A linear or non-linear relationship may then be applied to the contact time to determine a speed or pace.

    摘要: Methods of inhibiting Barrett's esophagus and/or adenocarcinoma in a subject are provided. In a particular embodiment, the method comprises administering at least one composition comprising at least one zinc compound and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to the esophagus of the subject. The zinc may be a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of zinc, such as zinc gluconate. The zinc may be administered, for example, orally, topically, or by an implantable medical device. In a particular embodiment, the methods further comprise administering at least one analgesic, anesthetic, or other therapeutic agent or therapy for the treatment of Barrett's esophagus. The method may further comprise monitoring the progression of Barrett's esophagus in the subject.

    摘要: A spray-drying apparatus includes a drying chamber that has a first end, a second end, and at least one side wall extending between the first and second ends to define an interior of the drying chamber having a center axis. A nozzle can be positioned at the first end of the drying chamber and be configured to atomize liquid and spray the atomized liquid into the interior of the drying chamber at a maximum spray pattern angle relative to the center axis. A ratio of the length between the first end and second end to a maximum width between opposing internal surfaces of the interior of the drying chamber can be at least 5 to 1.
