An example flow sensing device may include a sensing element disposed at least partially within the housing, and a plurality of channels disposed within the housing defining a flow path configured to convey a flowing media through the flow sensing device, wherein the flow path is disposed proximate the sensing element such that at least a portion of the flowing media makes direct contact with the sensing element.

Abstract: Hybrid ventilation apparatuses, systems and methods are provided. Some example mechanical ventilation apparatuses include a gas delivery system, at least one oxygen concentrator for generating oxygen enriched gas for delivery to a patient, at least one pressurized oxygen source for providing oxygen for delivery to the patient, and a controller. Based at least in part on an FIO2 setting for the gas to be delivered to the patient, the controller may determine an oxygen enriched gas flow rate of the oxygen enriched gas and a pressurized oxygen source flow rate of the oxygen from the at least one pressurized oxygen source, for the gas to be delivered to the patient. The controller may control the gas delivery system to deliver the gas to the patient in accordance with the FIO2 setting, the determined oxygen enriched gas flow rate, and the determined pressurized oxygen source flow rate.

Abstract: A soft baked, shelf stable brownie including a high amount of hydrolyzed collagen that achieves an indulgent texture and flavor, yet retains a soft, moist eating experience over an extended shelf life is described. The brownie includes pantry friendly ingredients to form a matrix that includes collagen, chia seed, a flour content that includes at least a portion that is gluten-free, fiber and/or sugar syrup, and fat to achieve an indulgent eating experience. Methods of making a soft baked brownie are also disclosed.

Abstract: A raised gutter cover that is live loaded and acts as a compressions spring when mounted on a gutter hung with high-hangers and securely attaches the gutter cover to the gutter and the building allowing water shed from the pitched roof to separate from any debris and strain through the gutter.

Abstract: An assembly for an opening through a member has a body and a first spring retention assembly coupled to the body. The first spring retention assembly has a first coil spring at least partially disposed within a first spring housing. The first coil spring has a first end extending through the first spring housing and is coupled to the body. The first coil spring is extendable from and retractable into the first spring housing.

Abstract: Edge-lit lighting systems employing a light module for mounting a LED light source with ease of installation and removal on fixtures are described where the frame for the lighting system bears an internal skeletal pre-load bar to keep the frame planar. Multiple frames may be combined with alignment plates and joining hardware and a suspension system that gives the fixtures stability, strength and great functional advantages when used in various forms of architectural lighting.

Abstract: A joining system for light fixtures where one fixture attaches to the next without the need for tools or access to the interior of the fixture. The spring bolt joining system can be used with all styles of linear and non-linear fixtures. A few examples of the mounting styles that work with this joining system: suspended mounted fixtures, surface mounted fixtures, recessed mounted fixtures and wall mounted fixtures.

Abstract: A low-profile screen which allows water to pass through apertures formed therein to allow water to drain through the screen. A plurality of ridges are formed on the surface of the screen to allow water to drain at a number of different elevations, to increase the structural rigidity of the screen, to improve snow-melting, and to improve the screens reliance when compressive forces are exerted on the screen. Under compression the screen snaps into place. The ridges further promote debris being blown off of the surface of the screen.

Abstract: Lighting fixtures with one or more reflectors, paired with a lighting source providing indirect light from one or more apertures in one sphere above or below the system and direct light from one or more apertures in another sphere above or below the system providing efficient lighting for various uses is described.

Abstract: Animation coordination system and methods are provided that manage animation context transitions between and/or among multiple applications. A global coordinator can obtain initial information, such as initial graphical representations and object types, initial positions, etc., from initiator applications and final information, such as final graphical representations and object types, final positions, etc. from destination applications. The global coordination creates an animation context transition between initiator applications and destination applications based upon the initial information and the final information.

Abstract: A method for designating vegetation as potential impact vegetation includes identifying data relating to target vegetation from a dataset and determining a reach distance of the target vegetation. The reach distance includes a distance from a point on a ground to a point of the target vegetation that is farthest from the point on the ground. The method also includes comparing the reach distance of the target vegetation with a closest distance between the point on the ground and a structure to produce a compared reach distance value and determining a health indicator value for the target vegetation. The method further includes comparing the health indicator value of the target vegetation to a health indicator threshold value and designating the target vegetation as having a potential to impact the structure based on the compared reach distance value and the comparison of the health indicator to the health indicator threshold.

Abstract: The rain gutter debris prophylactic system has a first panel member and a second panel member joined by a trough with drains in the bottom. The trough helps regulate water flow, discourages water accumulation on the surface or the formation of icicles on the edge of the prophylactic. The front edge of the trough forms a water accelerator. In addition the drains formed in the trough allow the prophylactic to be bent by hand to match the angle formed between the roof and the gutter without heavy equipment such as hand brakes. Multiple sections may be bent simultaneously. Finally the system combines at least three water flow management techniques, namely a first set of drain holes, pooling ridges and a curved nose to conduct water over the edge of the gutter.
