Abstract: One or more radar sensors can be used to monitor patients in a variety of different environments and embodiments. In one embodiment, radar sensors can be used to monitor a patient's breathing, including monitoring of tidal volume, chest expansion distance, breathing rate, etc. In another embodiment, a patient position can be monitored in a patient bed, which can be used as feedback for control of bladders of a patient bed. Additional embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a signal associated with a characteristic of an actuation event of a medicament delivery device. The method includes establishing a communications link (e.g., via a short-range wireless protocol), between a mobile computing device and a medicament delivery device. A wireless first signal associated with a first motion profile of the medicament delivery device is then received from the medicament delivery device. A second signal associated with a second motion profile of the mobile computing device is generated. The method then includes producing a notification via the mobile computing device when A) a magnitude of the first motion profile is outside of a first threshold and B) a magnitude of the second motion profile is outside of a second threshold.

Abstract: A system and method for spray boom cleanout. A spray boom cleanout assembly is provided over a fluid pipe of an agricultural sprayer. The spray boom cleanout assembly includes an end cap body having a vent configured to release trapped air from the fluid pipe through a spray nozzle as the fluid pipe is filled with a fluid. The end cap body is coupled by an adapter to a fluid flush valve allowing for improved cleanout of fluid from the end of the fluid pipe after a spraying operation.

Abstract: A toolbar transport system for extending and retracting a large agricultural toolbar. Forward and rearward folding segments of the toolbar allow the toolbar assembly to retract against the sides of the vehicle without interfering with the steering wheels. A forward-folding segment and rearward-folding segment of each lateral toolbar section connect to provide steering wheel clearance in the transfer position and an integrated lateral toolbar with regularly-spaced ground-engaging implements in the application position. Gauge wheel assemblies assist in the extension and deployment of the toolbar assembly.

Abstract: A method and device for producing heat and/or a magnetic field through photon, positron, or particle infusion. The device includes a cylinder including a side wall having an opening extending through and tangentially to the side wall providing access to the inner side. At least a portion of the volume of the cylinder comprises neodymium glass. An induction tube may be connected to and extending from the side wall providing a passageway for a stream of particles to the neodymium glass. A lens may be positioned at an end of the induction tube opposite the connection with the cylinder and source of the stream of particles may be positioned outside and aligned with the induction tube. When the source is activated to direct the stream of photons or particles through the induction tube and into the neodymium glass in the cylinder, the source of particles in the stream are infuse into their self in the neodymium glass and release heat.

Abstract: A machine for dispensing beverages may include a support structure and a plurality of valve trays mounted on the support structure in side-by-side relation. The machine may also include a connection block disposed on each of the plurality of valve trays, where each connection block may be configured to receive a first supply of a diluent and a second supply of a diluent. A valve may be disposed on each connection block, and each valve may be configured to be selectively movable between the first supply, the second supply, and a closed position. A nozzle may be mounted to each of the valve trays at a predefined dispensing location, and each nozzle may be configured to selectively receive diluent from the first supply and the second supply.

Abstract: An improved cold plate for use with a beverage dispenser. The beverage dispenser has an ice chest and a carbonator unit. The cold plate is positioned beneath the ice chest. The cold plate includes a first surface in direct contact with the ice chest. The cold plate further includes a second surface with a concave middle portion such that the carbonator unit is positioned directly therein for intimate contact therewith.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a below countertop dispenser that provides for reliable less destructive dispensing of ice, and that can fully remove the ice from the storage bin thereof. The invention herein utilizes a two part mechanism for lifting ice from the storage bin to a dispense chute positioned above the countertop. A disk type agitator/lift mechanism is first used to lift the ice to an ice channel communicating with the bottom of an auger housing. The bottom of the auger housing is positioned above the bottom most point of the ice storage bin. An auger is positioned vertically in the auger housing and provides for lifting ice from the bottom of the auger housing to the dispense chute.

Abstract: A method and device for producing heat and magnetic field through photon or particle infusion. The device includes a sealed cylinder including a side wall having a mirrored inner side and a recess extending through and tangentially to said side wall providing access to the inner side. An induction tube is connected to and extends from the side wall providing a passageway for a stream of particles to the recess. A lens is positioned at an end of the induction tube opposite the connection with the cylinder and source of the stream of particles is positioned outside and aligned with the induction tube. When the source is activated to direct the stream of photons or particles through the induction tube and recess into the cylinder, the source of particles is reflected off the mirrored inner side causing the particles in said stream to infuse and release heat.

Abstract: A method for the treatment and promotion of healing of bone fractures and osteotomies in warm-blooded animals including humans, which comprises local application to the site of the fracture or osteotomy of a therapeutically effective amount of 24,25(OH).sub.2 D.sub.3 dissolved or dispersed in a suitable physiologically compatible carrier.There are also provided, for use in the above method, compositions comprising from 0.002 to 0.2% by weight of 24,25(OH).sub.2 D.sub.3 in combination with a physiologically compatible vehicle suitable for use in orthopedic surgery for local application to a site of bone fracture or osteotomy, or for application to solid or semi-solid implants conventional in orthopedic surgery and to prostheses.

Abstract: An arm and hand protector for apiarian use. The protector includes a glove and an attached sleeve designed to fit loosely about, and cover the wearer's forearm. The sleeve is formed of a smooth-surfaced fabric tightly woven from a substantially untextured, synthetic filament yarn.
