Abstract: Systems and methods for high frequency impedance spectroscopy detection of daily changes of dielectric properties of the human body to measure body composition and hydration status. According to an aspect, a method at a computing device to determine a set of indirect dynamic human metabolism parameters includes using a sensor on an individual to acquire a set of electrical measurements. The method also includes combining a ratio technique with a canonical model form technique. The also includes performing a series of mathematical calculations on the acquired set of electrical measurements to determine the set of indirect dynamic human metabolism parameters for the individual based on the combined ratio technique and the canonical model form technique.

Abstract: A splicer for optical fibers. The splicer is assembled from two polymer body halves. When assembled the body halves function as spring clamps. Internal to the body halves is a metallic splice element which is assembled from two mirror image halves. The polymer body halves and the metallic splice element body halves both include a passageway for the two fibers to be spliced and a passageway for a tool that is used to operate the splicer so that a fiber can be inserted into or removed therefrom. During assembly a portion of the body halves are fused together to provide a unitized construction to the spring clamps. The splicer may be inserted in a panel. A ferrule is used to hold the splicer in the panel.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an aerosol assembly which may be used inverted and upright and which, when used in the inverted position, will automatically provide an audible signal that a preselected amount of the container contents has been depleted. A valve body defining a hollow interior and a base has a hollow diptube operatively connected to the valve body interior and reaching at its lower end to the bottom of an associated aerosol container. A moveable valve stem is provided for placing the valve body interior in communication with the exterior of the aerosol container. A liquid level spray control is provided. The control comprises a hollow tube connected to the valve body and surrounding the diptube. The hollow tube defines an opening below the valve body base. The opening defines an open flow path from the container interior to the valve body interior.
