Abstract: A system for identifying irregularities in behaviors of a non-human animal, the system comprising a processing circuitry configured to: provide a behavioral baseline including first information on regular behaviors of the non-human animal over a given period of time when no irregularities occur; obtain data on a series of consecutively identified behaviors of the non-human animal identified over a second period of time; perform an action upon the data not complying with the behavioral baseline, thereby indicating an irregularity in the non-human animal behavior.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a system for external manipulation of magnetic nanoparticles in vasculature using a remotely placed magnetic field-generating stator. In one embodiment, the systems and methods relate to the control of magnetic nanoparticles in a fluid medium using permanent magnet-based or electromagnetic field-generating stator sources. Such a system can be useful for increasing the diffusion of therapeutic agents in a fluid medium, such as a human circulatory system, which can result in substantial clearance of fluid obstructions, such as vascular occlusions, in a circulatory system resulting in increased blood flow. Magnetic nanoparticles are provided having a non-specialized chemical coating facilitating association with a chemical composition by a user before infusion. Systems are provided for delivering a consistent infusion mass of magnetic nanoparticles to a patient.

Abstract: Embodiments of a network-enabled mass storage dongle with networked media content aggregation are discussed. Embodiments provide for a dongle in a consumption mode is inserted into one or more source devices, where the one or more source devices are part of a network and store content to be aggregated for accessing on equipment. In embodiments the equipment has no intrinsic networking capabilities. The dongle allows a user to select one or more directory structures on each of the one or more source devices to be included in the aggregated content. The dongle then creates a file share for each of the selected directory structures. The dongle in an aggregation mode is inserted into the equipment and automatically connects to the network. The dongle aggregates content in the created file shares to present the aggregated content as a single mass storage device to the equipment. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A magnetically navigable catheter or guide wire having a proximal and a distal end, and a magnetically responsive structure that surrounds at least a portion of the catheter or guide wire at the distal end, wherein the magnetically responsive structure is comprised of a flexible magnetically responsive material.

Abstract: A method of navigating a medical device in an operating region in a subject. The method includes applying a magnetic field to the operating region and changing the magnetic moment of the medical device by selectively changing a physical condition of at least one magnet element in the medical device to change the orientation of the device with respect to the applied magnetic field.

Abstract: An inkjet printer for printing on a print medium includes a printhead having an ink orifice formed therein through which an ink drop is ejected into a print zone between the printhead and the print medium during printing, and an air movement system which directs a stream of gas through the print zone as the ink drop is ejected during printing. When ejected, the ink drop forms a head and a tail. As such, the stream of gas converges the tail of the ink drop and the head of the ink drop during printing so as to improve the shape of a dot formed by the ink drop on the print medium.

Abstract: A low profile information outlet (1), suitable for mounting to a wall or floor, provides for connections to multiple connector styles and media types while maintaining appropriate minimum bend radii. A connectorized fiber optic cable (30) enters the housing (3) via cable entrance (7) and plugs into fiber optic receptacle (13). Fiber optic receptacle (13) snaps into a flange retention member (9). Connectorized copper cable (33) plugs into a recessed connector well (14) at an angle. The receptacles (13,25) and exterior connectors (45,48) are protected by the low profile housing (3) and the mounting surface (29). All cables (31,33) exit the housing (3) parallel to the mounting surface (29) to dress along the wall or floor.

Abstract: A heat retaining device comprising a plurality of heat retaining elements which can be positioned on the burner of a hot water heater. While the burner is ignited they collect and store heat from the burner which ordinarily might be wasted. After the burner is de-energized the heat that they release keeps the water in the hot water heater warm so that the intervals between energization of the burner are increased and fuel is saved thereby.
