Abstract: A system for adhering a roof board onto a corrugated roof by positioning an adhesive strip dispensing machine over a plurality of parallel top flutes of a corrugated roof and then simultaneously dispensing a plurality of adhesive strips on top of each of the plurality of parallel top flutes of the corrugated roof. The dispensing machine has a plurality of wheels or rollers mounted to a frame and a plurality of adhesive roll dispensers, and the adhesive is dispensed onto the top of top flutes by moving the dispensing machine in a direction parallel to the top flutes.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for data ingestion and aggregation, file analysis, and predictive modeling. A method includes ingesting an unstructured file comprising text. The method includes providing the unstructured file to a file analysis machine learning algorithm configured to execute optical character recognition processing to identify one or more textual characters in the unstructured file. The method includes assigning the one or more identified textual characters to a data bucket associated with an aggregated data form. The method includes generating a virtual file comprising information from the aggregated data form, wherein the virtual file comprises structured data and unstructured data.

Abstract: An improved method and system for measuring and reporting heart valve activity combines information obtained from independent signals with information obtained from ICG signals, such that signals derived from heart valve activity may be used as confirmation that the ICG system is accurately identifying heart valve activity. The method and system of the present invention also provide improved accuracy in reported values such as PEP, LVET, STR, SV, and CO. In addition, the method and system of the present invention provide improved accuracy of graphical representations of heart activity where the graphical representations include identifying heart valve activity.

Abstract: A device for testing a tire that has a tread and extending sidewalls includes an apparatus for receiving and rotating a tire and at least one measurement device operatively placed to measure at least one of the sidewalls as the tire is rotated wherein the measurement device is radially moveable with respect to the sidewall in defined increments so as to obtain a measurement profile for each radial position. A controller is connected to the measurement device and receives each measurement profile, wherein the controller classifies the measurement profile into slope classifications, and wherein the controller monitors the slope classifications for defective patterns and, if detected, monitors a second measurement profile for another defective pattern. If another defective pattern is detected in the second measurement profile in the same radial region, the controller generates an indication that the tire is defective.

Abstract: An automatic skin perfusion measuring system including instrumentation that automatically analyzes perfusion measurements to identify motion artifact and SPP values and a sensor placement device is provided. The instrumentation is configured to ignore motion artifact. Perfusion measurements are designated as SPP values if various criteria are met. SPP value criteria pertain to factors including cuff pressure, perfusion, perfusion change percentages relative to previous and subsequent perfusion measurements, and whether perfusion measurements are increasing or decreasing relative to previous and subsequent perfusion measurements. The sensor placement device assures reliable data is produced when multiple measurements are desired.

Abstract: The invention provides a device for contacting a surface of a patient's body to determine a physiologic parameter in a measurement region of a tissue of the patient. The device typically comprises a sensor responsive to the physiologic parameter and a probe housing the sensor. The probe is constructed to allow the sensor to be secured at a sensing site adjacent to the measurement region, without disturbing the blood flow within the measurement region of the tissue. The device may also include a means for reducing interference in the sensing area. Preferably, the device further comprises an indicating means operably connected to the sensor for indicating an analyte quantity and/or concentration associated with the physiologic parameter.
