Abstract: Methods and systems for generating physiological metrics for display on a computing device are disclosed herein. In some implementations, an exemplary system comprises a torso wearable device including a wireless transmitter and a sensor, and non-transitory computer-readable media (CRM). The CRM, when executed by a computing device in communication with the wireless transmitter, can perform operations comprising: receiving the input signals representing respiration of the user; displaying a graphical user interface to the user; receiving one or more user inputs associated with a desired metric; displaying on the graphical user interface a first visualization corresponding to the desired metric; and displaying on the graphical user interface a second visualization corresponding to a physiological metric based on the input signals generated from the sensor. The second visualization can change in real time based on real time angular displacement of the sensor in response to the respiration of the user.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hollow-fiber membrane for ultrafiltration made from a hydrophobic aromatic sulfone polymer and at least one hydrophilic polymer, the membrane having an open-pore separating layer on the lumen side, an adjoining supporting layer with asymmetric, sponge-like pore structure without finger pores and an outer layer adjoining the supporting layer towards the outer surface. The separating layer has a cutoff between 20 000 and 200 000 daltons, a thickness of max. 10% of the membrane thickness and an essentially isotropic pore structure. The size of the pores in the supporting layer initially increases up to a zone with maximum pore size, and then decreases towards the outer layer, and the outer layer exhibits a thickness of 10 to 30% of the wall thickness and an essentially isotropic pore structure. The mean size of the pores in the outer layer is larger than in the separating layer, but smaller than in the supporting layer.

Abstract: A hydrophilic semipermeable hollow-fiber membrane for blood treatment, with an integrally asymmetric structure based on a synthetic polymer. The hollow-fiber membrane possesses on its inner surface a separating layer and an adjoining open-pored supporting layer, and has an ultrafiltration rate in albumin solution of 5 to 25 ml/(h·m2·mmHg). The hollow-fiber membrane is free from pore-stabilizing additives and has a maximum sieving coefficient for albumin of 0.005 and a sieving coefficient for cytochrome c that satisfies the equation SCCC?5·10?5·UFRAlb3?0.004·UFRAlb2+1.081·UFRAlb?0.25.

Abstract: In normal mode, a central unit of an electronic control device receives desired and actual values for determining desired current values which are transmitted to an electronic drive unit. The central unit of the electronic drive unit receives the desired current values for determining drive signals for circuit breakers. In monitoring mode, the central unit of the electronic control device checks whether an connected electric motor is in a safe state. If not, the control device transmits disconnection signals to a disconnection device and to the drive unit. The central unit of the electronic control device generates checking information for the drive unit. In the monitoring mode, the central unit of the drive unit checks whether a disconnection signal is transmitted to the central unit and whether the checking information is correct.

Abstract: The present invention provides a magnetic resonance imaging system making use of low resolution, whole-body plan scan image of a body. The whole-body plan scan image is exploited to gather a plurality of individual information of a body that is essential for an optimization of acquisition parameter for acquisition of a high resolution and high quality image of a region of interest of the body. Moreover, the whole-body plan scan image is used in order to facility a determination and a selection of a region of interest to be performed by an operator. Additionally, the MRI provides effective means for autonomously identifying specific body parts or even organs of a patient. Providing the entire information that can be extracted from the whole-body plan scan image to the operator effectively simplifies the workflow of the operator in an intuitive way.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method for user-specific intuitive and secure control of operational inputs in software components with operational surfaces. Various operational elements on a surface can be reached with varying ease for the input of data, or for carrying out a confirmation action, for example, an OK click with the mouse. It is made easier or more difficult for an operator to carry out an input. The above is achieved, whereby input means, for example, a mouse are either drawn towards, or withdrawn away from the corresponding input regions. Erroneous inputs are thus avoided.

Abstract: A metallic press fitting element is made from a solid or hollow bar as starting material which is treated by a machining process, or by a machining process and a subsequent non-cutting process, to form a finished press fitting element with a pressing zone destined for connection of a pipe. The pressing zone is comprised of a hook-shaped region of substantially roof-shaped cross section for receiving an O-ring gasket, and an adjacent cylindrical region positioned inwardly of the hook-shaped region distal to an insertion end for the pipe into the pressing zone.
