Abstract:
A novel method and apparatus for analyzing multi-breath nitrogen washout (MBNW) data from a lung is provided. The novel method includes fitting multi-compartment lung model, having five free parameters, to an exhaled nitrogen concentration profile over the entire duration of expiration for each breath from the lung. The five free parameters include 1) functional residual capacity, 2) dead space volume, 3) the standard deviation of the rate of change of fractional contribution to expired flow from each lung region as a function of lung volume, 4) the intrinsic slope of Phase-Ill due to acinar asymmetry, and 5) the coefficient of variation of regional specific ventilation.
Abstract:
The present invention has to do with a method and system for peritoneal dialysis catheter weighted anchors. The peritoneal dialysis catheter weighted anchors can be inserted and retrieved using standard techniques and available insertion/retrieval systems. The peritoneal dialysis catheter weighted anchors can be attached and secured to all types of PD catheters as an ancillary anchor device.
Abstract:
Wood adhesives and methods of production and application of wood adhesives are provided. The adhesives may contain proteins, and specifically may include whey proteins derived from dairy processing. Products utilizing whey-based wood adhesives are also provided as are paper adhesives that include whey protein.
Abstract:
Algorithms and concepts for maintaining uniform random samples of streaming data and stream joins. These algorithms and concepts are used in systems and methods, such as wireless sensor networks and methods for implementing such networks, that generate and handle such streaming data and/or stream joins. The algorithms and concepts directed to streaming data allow one or more sample reservoirs to change size during sampling. When multiple reservoirs are maintained, some of the algorithms and concepts periodically reallocate memory among the multiple reservoirs to effectively utilize limited memory. The algorithms and concepts directed to stream joins allow reservoir sampling to proceed as a function of the probability of a join sampling operation. In memory limited situations wherein memory contains the sample reservoir and a join buffer, some of the stream-join algorithms and concepts progressively increase the size of the sampling reservoir and reallocate memory from the join buffer to the reservoir.
Abstract:
A system for exposing a target material to small particles. The system includes an exposure chamber that receives the target material. A stream of charged particles is directed via an inlet into the exposure chamber toward the target material. One or more electrodes are located relative to the target material and the inlet, and are electrically charged, so as to cause at least some of the charged particles to impact upon the target material. The system can be used to expose the target material to small, for example, nanoscale, particles in a gas environment.
