Abstract: A device assembly for controlling an integrated continuous pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical manufacturing process including a first process equipment for performing a first process step; a second process equipment for performing a second process step subsequent to the first process step; a single measuring unit for measurement of a set of signals of a liquid process medium at a single location, the measured signals depending on first and second parameters; and an evaluation and control unit for evaluating the measured signals to determine values of the first and second parameters. The evaluation and control unit determines first and second corrective feedback based on the values of the first and second parameters, respectively. The evaluation and control unit controls the first process step by providing the first corrective feedback to the first process equipment and controls the second process step by providing the second corrective feedback to the second process equipment.

Abstract: A dental prosthesis apparatus, comprising at least a pair of implants for selective imbedding in maxillary bone structure and each having an angle-adjusting abutments to which a rail clip assembly attaches, each rail clip assembly holding a portion of a rail between a lower rail clip and an upper rail clip, the rail and clip assemblies connected together, for seating of a denture to the abutments. A method of fabricating a dental prosthesis is disclosed.

Abstract: A dental prosthesis apparatus with reference points for overlapping of multiple images to form a composite image, in which a pair of implant assemblies each attaches to a clip assembly having first and second opposing rail clips secured together with a fastener while holding a portion of an elongated rail that extends between the implant assemblies, and the rail defines a differentiation characteristic for use as reference points for matching of a plurality of images in overlapping relation for forming a composite image. A method of providing a dental prosthesis with reference points for imaging is disclosed.

Abstract: An infant umbilical cord monitoring system having a hinged housing adapted to receive both an umbilical cord clamping means and a means for measuring physiological data of the infant. A method of using an infant's umbilical cord for obtaining physiological data includes applying an umbilical cord clamping means to the infant's umbilical cord, positioning a hinged housing adapted to receive both the umbilical cord clamping means and a means for measuring physiological data of the infant against the infant and detecting the physiological data of the infant.

Abstract: A process pulsation diagnostic system comprises a primary element, a sensor and a processor. The primary element generates a differential pressure along a fluid flow. The sensor samples the differential pressure. The processor generates a pulsation diagnostic based on a standard deviation of the differential pressure, such that the pulsation diagnostic is indicative of a degree of process pulsation in the fluid flow.
