Abstract: An emergency ventilation system ventilates a patient and includes a chamber housing defining a breathing chamber; a piston; and a motor operably connected to the piston. The motor applies an exhalation force to move the piston in an exhalation direction applies an inhalation force to move the piston in an inhalation direction. The piston increases air in the breathing chamber as the exhalation force is applied and decreases air in the breathing chamber as the inhalation force is applied. An exhalation check valve allows airflow from the air source to the breathing chamber and not to allow airflow from the breathing chamber to the air source as the inhalation force is applied. An inhalation check valve allows airflow from the breathing chamber to the air output and not to allow airflow from the air output to the breathing chamber as the exhalation force is applied.

Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) waveguide housing includes a metal-diamond base with a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The metal-diamond base includes an opening through a thickness of the metal-diamond base, and the opening includes a first side on a side of the first surface of the metal-diamond base and a second side on a side of the second surface of the metal-diamond base. The RF waveguide housing also includes an insert to be inserted in the opening and affixed to the metal-diamond base. The insert defines an interior volume within the opening of the metal-diamond base and a shape of the insert at the first side of the opening is configured to match an end of an RF waveguide coupled to the RF waveguide housing.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for efficiently representing manifests and playlists for media presentations. Some media streaming protocols include repetition syntax by which a sequence of media segments having the same duration can be represented with a single entry. A pattern syntax is introduced by which repeating patterns of segment durations in a cycle may be represented in manifests and playlists.

Abstract: A video authoring system has an authoring computing device that generates a visual synchronization layout, via a graphical user interface without user-based inputting of computer executable code, for a video with a time duration and for content to be added to the video at one or more time-based positions within the video. The video authoring system also has a processor, in operable communication with the authoring computing device, that sends data associated with the visual synchronization layout to a remote server that automatically generates a manifest based on the data associated with the visual synchronization layout. The manifest is computer executable code that is executed by a media player at a computing device so that the media player plays the video in synchronization with the content.

Abstract: A patient support system includes a support beam that may translocate along an axial axis of a medical imaging system. At least a portion of the support beam may be disposed within a central bore of the medical imaging system. The patient support system also includes a patient support removably coupled to the support beam and including a backing that may support a patient during an imaging procedure and a restraint extending a longitudinal length of the backing. The restraint includes a first end coupled to the backing and a second end that may be removably coupled to the support beam, and the restraint may secure the patient support to the support beam and to restrain the patient within the patient support.

Abstract: A system is provided. The system includes a content database that stores content synchronization data received from a graphical user interface. The content synchronization data has a location of media, a set of content, a content start time, and a content end time. The content start time is a time in the media at which play of the content is to start. The content end time is a time in the media at which the play of the content is to end.

Abstract: A system is provided. The system includes a content database that stores content synchronization data received from a graphical user interface. The content synchronization data has a location of media, a set of content, a content start time, and a content end time. The content start time is a time in the media at which play of the content is to start. The content end time is a time in the media at which the play of the content is to end.

Abstract: A system is provided. The system includes a content database that stores content that is generated by a content producer computing device. Further, the system includes a processor that defines an event according to event data, establishes a start time for the event, associates a content item from the content database with the event, reschedules the content item in real time after the start time, receives a polling request for content, and determines content to be played at a time associated with the polling request. The system also includes a transmitter that transmits the content item at a time corresponding to the time span added to the start time.

Abstract: A rule input to generate a rule is received. The rule provides an action for an event. A content experience engine generates the rule for a set of content. The content experience engine receives an interaction input based upon the set of content from the content experience configuration. The content experience engine generates an enhanced set of content based upon the rule and the interaction input.

Abstract: A computing device receives a plurality of media files. Further, the computing device associates an item with a media file from the plurality of media files according to an association. The item is displayed during display of the media file. The association has a predetermined playback time during playback of the media file at which item data is displayed in addition to the display of the media file. In addition, the computing device generates a hierarchical logic model for media playback. The hierarchical logic model organizes the plurality of media files for playback into a hierarchy according to a predetermined set of conditions. A set of code is provided to a media player for media playback based upon the logic model and the association between the item and the media file.
