Abstract: An apparatus for cooked food includes a spatula assembly defining a plate having a plate first end portion, a plate second end portion, a plate cooking surface and a plate non-cooking surface. The plate first end portion is pivotally in attachment with a spatula assembly cross member of the spatula assembly. The plate is configured to move between a plate upper position and a plate lower position. The apparatus further includes a movable wiper assembly defining an elongated body having a movable wiper cleaning surface along the elongated body. The movable wiper assembly is positioned proximate to the plate and configured to have the movable wiper cleaning surface move across the plate cooking surface when plate is in the plate lower position.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide an analytical placement method that considers diagonal wiring. This method formulates an objective function that accounts for the use of diagonal wiring during routing. Some embodiments use horizontal, vertical, and ±45° diagonal lines. For such a wiring model, some embodiments use the following objective function: Function = ? n ? ? p ? ( n ) ? b i , j ? ( 1 2 ? ( ? + ( x i - x j ) 2 + ? + ( y i - y j ) 2 ) + ( 1 - 1 2 ) ? ? + ( x i - x j ) 2 + ( y i - y j ) 2 - 2 ? ( x i - x j ) 2 ? ( y i - y j ) 2 ? + ( x i - x j ) 2 ? ( y i - y j ) 2 ) In this equation, n represents a net, p(n) represents a unique pair of pins i and j of the net n, x and y represent the x-, and y-coordinates of a particular pin, and bi,j represents a weighting factor that biases the function based on the desired closeness of pins i and j.

Abstract: This invention relates to a system, method and apparatus for assessing a patient's risk of cardiovascular collapse by measuring circulating blood volume through transpupillary measurement of retinal vasculature. The system is useful for predicting patients at risk of suffering hypovolemic shock, cardiogenic shock, anaphylactic shock, or septic shock. The system includes a light source, an optical assembly, an imaging device, a processor, and an output device. Images of the eye are obtained and analyzed using a software package. The measurements obtained are compared to a database to determine if the patient is at risk of suffering vascular collapse.
