Abstract: A cryogenic freezer and a method of controlling temperature within the cryogenic freezer. The cryogenic freezer includes an inner vessel. The inner vessel defines a storage chamber. The cryogenic freezer includes an outer vessel surrounding the inner vessel. The outer vessel may define a vacuum-insulated space in between the outer vessel and the inner vessel. The cryogenic freezer includes a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature within the storage chamber. The cryogenic freezer includes a controller coupled to the temperature sensor. The controller is configured to pulse an amount of cryogen into the storage container to control the temperature within the storage container.

Abstract: A method and system for performing transseptal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is disclosed. The method may include puncturing a septum between the right atrium and the left atrium and advancing a catheter system through the puncture and into the aorta. A first portion of the catheter system can remove blood from the patient, in some examples near the inferior vena cava. A second portion can return oxygenated blood to the patient, through the transseptal puncture and into the aorta.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for audio processing. For instance, a technique can include receiving, from one or more microphones, an audio signal; receiving a periodic timing signal based on the periodic timing signal; combining the audio signal and the periodic timing signal into an audio stream; generating a time stamp based on the received periodic timing signal; and adding the generated time stamp to the audio stream based on the periodic timing signal in the audio stream.

Abstract: An item of cookware having a reservoir for containing a cooking liquid is described herein. The cookware includes an outer surface sized for engagement with a cooking device and retention of one or more food items. A reservoir is disposed within the outer surface in a position for receiving heat from the cooking device. The reservoir is sized to contain one or more food items and a quantity of cooking oil or another liquid sufficient to cook the food items. The outer surface is sloped toward the reservoir, such that oil and other liquids from cooked food items placed on the outer surface drains into the reservoir for reuse, providing both health and economic benefits. The outer surface also receives heat from the cooking device sufficient to warm food items not currently being cooked.

Abstract: A movable armature for creating a sculpture and related methods of use are described herein. The armature includes a plurality of rigid members, each having a shape representing part of an object to be sculpted. Each rigid member is pre-formed to be proportional in size to each other rigid member. One or more movable members are usable to connect adjacent rigid members, thereby providing a range of motion between two connected rigid members. The movable armature thereby eliminates mistakes relating to proportionality, while enabling continuous positioning and repositioning of the armature throughout the sculpting process.

Abstract: A rotor, in an agricultural harvester crop processing unit, comprising a drum to which crop processing elements for an infeed section and a threshing section are affixed. The drum comprises a rearward cylindrical portion and a forwardly extending frusto-conical portion. The frusto-conical portion is divided into an aft-region adjacent to the rearward cylindrical portion of the drum, and a fore-region. The infeed section has at least one infeed element located on the fore-region of the frusto-conical portion of the drum. The crop processing section has at least one crop processing element located on the aft-region of the frusto-conical portion of the drum.
