Abstract: A first mobile device or other portable computer receives an originally unified or previously combined data set and algorithmically processing at least two portions of the data set by different algorithmic processes and displaying the resultant information in an enhanced imaging on a video screen of the first device. The original data set can be preprocessed by a second device, and the resultant information generated in this data preprocessing by the second computational device is provided to the first device for additional processing and display to a user. The first device applies an alternate and distinctively different second algorithmic process to the resultant information and/or the original data set to generate a second information, whereupon the first device visually presents (a.) elements of the second information; (b.) elements of the resultant information as generated by the second device; and/or (c.) some or all of the original data set.

Abstract: Methods, computer-readable storage devices, and systems are described for reducing movement of a patient undergoing a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan by aligning MRI data, the method implemented on a Framewise Integrated Real-time MRI Monitoring (“FIRMM”) computing device including at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device. Aspects of the method comprise receiving a data frame from the MRI system, aligning the received data frame to a preceding data frame, calculating motion of a body part between the received data frame and the preceding data frame, calculating total frame displacement, and excluding data frames with a cutoff above a pre-identified threshold of the total frame displacement.

Abstract: A metallurgical system for producing metals and metal alloys includes a fluid cooled mixing cold hearth having a melting cavity configured to hold a raw material for melting into a molten metal, and a mechanical drive configured to mount and move the mixing cold hearth for mixing the raw material. The system also includes a heat source configured to heat the raw material in the melting cavity, and a heat removal system configured to provide adjustable insulation for the molten metal. The mixing cold hearth can be configured as a removal element of an assembly of interchangeable mixing cold hearths, with each mixing cold hearth of the assembly configured for melting a specific category of raw materials. A process includes the steps of providing the mixing cold hearth, feeding the raw material into the melting cavity, heating the raw material, and moving the mixing cold hearth during the heating step.

Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a fluid supply system. The methods comprise: using a micro-turbine and an Energy Harvesting Circuit (“EHC”) to harvest energy from a fluid flowing through a pipeline; operating a switch to disconnect the EHC from the micro-turbine when an amount of energy harvested reaches a threshold value; detecting by a sensor device an amount of natural fluid flow through the pipeline while the EHC is disconnected from the micro-turbine; and operating the switch to reconnect the EHC to the micro-turbine after the amount of natural fluid flow has been detected.

Abstract: A computer-based digital marketplace exchange is disclosed, providing the functionality of offering rounds of golf for sale, as well as conducting the sale of the rounds of golf. Customers can use the system to build, purchase, and redeem rounds, subject to at least one rule uploaded by the course. Once an order is purchased with the system, a customer's account is credited. When the customer seeks to redeem the round, the system can be configured to access a real-time positioning component and temporal component of a customer's mobile computer device. The system determines whether the time/location of the customer violates the rules placed on the round. If the rules are violated, then the system notifies the customer that he/she is prohibited from redeeming the round. Conversely, if the rules are not violated, then the round is redeemed and the course notified of the customer's arrival.

Abstract: Compositions of natural substances for human and veterinary use are provided and include neem oil mixed with the oil extract of Hypericum. The compositions have healing, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving properties combined with a repellent effect against myiasigenic diptera and non-myiasigenic diptera. The compositions can be used for the treatment and the cure of external wounds of any type and extension.

Abstract: A system for capturing an individual's hearing characteristics, including loudness tolerance levels at different sound frequencies, as an individualized shaped auditory profile for automatically enhancing audio to complement and address an individual's hearing deficits experienced via a particular signal pathway including the audio device, the sound environment, and the individual's hearing capabilities. The auditory profile is used to produce enhanced sound subsequently transmitted to the individual via the same signal pathway. The enhanced sound may be produced with consideration of both ears' auditory profile shapes together to increase the dynamic range of the enhanced sound. The sound enhancement can be introduced gradually over a sound reproduction session or a period of time of use.

Abstract: In an implementation, a printhead includes a nozzle and a fluid channel. A sensor plate is located within the fluid channel. An impedance measurement circuit is coupled to the sensor plate to measure impedance of fluid within the channel during a fluid movement event that moves fluid past the sensor plate.

Abstract: A truss assembly (12) has a plurality of structural members joined by a truss joint. The truss joint includes first (16) and second (18) structural members and a pair of shear plates (22). Each shear plate (22) includes at least one shear tab (24) having a curved alignment guide (40) formed by an elongated slot with an open end. An end of the second structural member (18) has a locating hole (42) proximate its mounting bolt hole. The truss assembly further includes an alignment/drift pin (44) used to position the second structural member (18) with respect to the shear plates (22). The alignment/drift pin (44) is configured to be inserted into the locating hole (42) and then maneuverable into the alignment guide (40) to position the second structural member (18) so that mounting bolt holes in the shear plates (22) and a mounting bolt hole in the second structural member (18) align allowing insertion of a through bolt (30).
