Abstract: Overmolded electrical plugs with integrated strain relief are disclosed. The strain relief may have multiple protrusions extending though the overmolded housing which are visible to users. The strain relief may employ a ratcheting mechanism which permanently secures the strain relief on the electrical power cord. The strain relief may be partially assembled in a pre-lock configuration on the electrical power cord where the strain relief may be positioned on the power cord, and then be further pressed to a locked configuration in which the is securely attached to the power cord. The strain relief is self-aligned on the electrical plug during an assembly process.

Abstract: First and second inputs are received. The first input indicates a frequency offset of a frequency band allocated for signal transmission. The said allocated band is a subband of a total band available for transmission. The second input indicates a bandwidth of the allocated band. One or more filters of a transmitter of a communications system are controlled to operate cumulatively in a lowpass filtering mode, wherein the highest frequency in a pass band in the lowpass filtering mode is less than the highest frequency of the total band available for transmission. A signal is filtered using the filter(s).

Abstract: A system provides cardiac arrhythmia detection and performs blood pressure analysis of multiple catheter channels of blood pressure signals to characterize heart hemodynamic activity. A system for heart performance characterization and abnormality detection includes a repository, data processor and output processor. The repository of data comprises, first distribution data representing a probability distribution of a first patient parameter over a first time period and acquired on a first occasion and second distribution data representing a probability distribution of the first patient parameter over a second time period and acquired on a second occasion subsequent to the first occasion. The data processor calculates an overlap indicator indicating degree of overlap of the first distribution data and the second distribution data in a predetermined interval of the distributions. The output processor provides the calculated overlap indicator to a destination device.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to stable percarboxylic acid compositions comprising, inter alia, at least two stabilizing agents, and various uses for water treatments, including water treatments in connection with oil- and gas-field operations.

Abstract: Crushed flux lime to be used in a BOF converter is processed to minimize waste dust, obviate environmental complications caused by high pH in waste water, and to utilize a very high percentage of the original crushed lime for useful products. The crushed flux lime is screened to provide a fine grain fraction and a modified flux lime fraction. Only a small percentage of the modified flux lime fraction is dust which may be removed in a dust collection system, and the modified flux lime fraction is then passed to the BOF converter. The fine grain fraction is made into a highly fluidized lime of very small dimensions by pulverizing it further in the presence of a fluidizing agent.

Abstract: A method allows a sender to buy goods or services for a third party immediately on an established account of the sender even before the sender pays for the expense occurred. The system works particularly well for purchases of mobile telephone airtime for others. In addition, the method works equally well for purchases of small amounts. The method utilizes SIMS protocol to send purchase orders in the form of text messages. The method takes advantage of existing technologies and contractual relationships that SIMS aggregators have with carriers. The method allows brokers to buy large quantities of goods and services such as mobile telephone airtime at discounted wholesale prices and then resell them in smaller quantities at higher retail prices.

Abstract: Embodiments typically might relate to pillows that are comfort customizable based on user preference. For example, embodiments might include an outer casing and a self-inflating inner core. A user might adjust the firmness and/or thickness of the pillow by altering the amount of fluid, such as air, within the inner core. Typically such adjustments might be performed without use of a pump, given the self-inflating nature of the inner core.

Abstract: A system automatically detects and measures ST deviation of a heart wave ECG signal in the presence of noise and accommodates baseline variation of the signal and other artefacts. A system identifies a particular point in an electrophysiological signal representing heart electrical activity using an interface for receiving an electrical signal waveform comprising an R-wave and including an ST segment portion associated with heart electrical activity of a patient over a heart beat cycle. A signal processor processes data representing the electrical signal waveform by identifying an S point and T point in the electrical signal waveform and determining a first candidate J point in the electrical signal waveform having substantially a maximum distance from a line between the identified S and T points, the distance being measured perpendicularly to the line.
