Abstract: A temperature control system receives, from a remote user device associated with a user, a user designation designating a temperature sensor from among a plurality of temperature sensors. The temperature control system selects, in response to receiving the user designation, the temperature sensor as a primary temperature sensor for controlling an ambient condition. The temperature control system receives a primary temperature measurement from the primary temperature sensor, and performs a primary temperature control based on the primary temperature measurement. The temperature control system may further receive secondary temperature measurements from secondary temperature sensors, and perform a secondary temperature control based on the secondary temperature measurements.

Abstract: A device and method of producing electrical energy by gravitomagnetic induction utilizing Nano-features fabricated on an object surface of an object is presented. The Nano-features may include Nano-bumps and Nano-pits. One device version includes a computer hard disk, a piezoelectric glide head, and/or a GMR read head, a prior art hard drive module electronics. By spinning the nano-features disk one produces an associated magnetic force utilizing a GMR read head for producing power by the presence or the absence of matter on an object that is in motion relative to the GMR read head. A computer system generated by the alternate computer system generates gravito-magnetic energy to power itself and/or other electrical or electronic devices, and/or, detects patterns of asperities or bump on a hard disk to generate binary value private keys applicable in asymmetric cryptography, such as public key cryptography.

Abstract: Medical devices, methods and kits are described. An exemplary medical device comprises a catheter that has a catheter wall and defines a catheter lumen, a bend, and a coil disposed distal to the bend. The catheter defines one or more apertures that extend through the catheter wall and are in communication with the catheter lumen.

Abstract: Systems and methods may provide for an energy harvester to power a mobile device. The energy harvester may include an energy harvesting portion to generate electrical power. At least one sensor may measure an environmental condition relating to generation of electrical power by the energy harvesting portion. A controller may generate a signal based on the measured environmental condition by the at least one sensor to the mobile device. Alternatively the signals from the at least one sensor are place in a memory on the energy harvester. In one example, the controller determines the power generated by the energy harvester and the controller signal includes this power information.

Abstract: A stripping element for rotary flow control diverters used in the oil and gas industry can include a stiffening member formed of a first harder material than a deformable member formed of a second softer material over-molded to the stiffening member. The stiffening member can include apertures that provide for the second softer material of the deformable member to be displaced through the apertures when a pipe of a drill is displaced through the stripping element. The stiffening member can include multiple members that stiffen the deformable member to prevent the deformable member from bending into the stripping element when a pipe of a drill is displaced through the stripping element. The multiple members can be displaced out in a direction away from the pipe of the drill when the pipe of the drill is displaced through the stripping element to prevent the stripping element from being compromised.

Abstract: A vehicle head-up display device includes a display control module that receives signals from a plurality of sources and determines one or more warnings based on the signals.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to regulate the down-hole hydrostatic pressure in a wellbore are provided which depend on regulating the resistance to the flow of wellbore returns produced by the wellbore. The resistance may be provided by the internal gas pressure in a gas/liquid separator receiving the flow of wellbore returns, where the internal gas pressure is regulated by an adjustable back pressure valve and a gas source. Alternatively or in addition, the resistance may be provided by a pump receiving the flow of wellbore returns, where the resistance of the pump is regulated by adjusting the speed of the pump.
