Abstract: A shoe insole includes photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors to monitor SpO2 levels to aid in detection of one or more disorders such as hypoxemia, deteriorating organ function, wound prone tissues or the like. The insole further includes electrodes that may be utilized to stimulate a foot at or adjacent a wound. An insole according to the present disclosure may be utilized to monitor diabetic wounds, and aid in the healing of diabetic wounds of a foot.

Abstract: A method of anchoring one or more load carrying components of an elongate subsea structure, such as a flexible pipeline or umbilical, to a termination or end fitting, comprising the steps of: inserting said load carrying component(s) into or through a cavity or void within the termination; and filling said cavity or void with a filler material whereby said load carrying component(s) are embedded and anchored therein; wherein said filler material comprises spheroidal beads.

Abstract: A termination assembly for a steel tube umbilical, wherein a plurality of the elongated umbilical elements which compose the umbilical are steel tubes, said termination assembly comprising a cavity through which said tubes pass, said cavity being filled with a filler material, at least one of said tubes having at least one region of increased localized diameter at a location within said cavity to define at least one load bearing face on the tube to anchor said at least one tube within said cavity.

Abstract: Methods and systems in a communications network to look at all of the DACS II output and determine whether a fault exists. If a fault is determined to exist, then an email is sent to the appropriate users notifying them that a problem has occurred. Three computer program commands, for example, are set up to automatically be sent to the network elements at a selected time everyday. The response to the commands is automatically emailed to a specified UNIX server. At 0600, for example, the program automatically kicks off the 3 commands and analyzes the data from the responses to the commands. If the program finds a fault in the command outputs, the program will then post what the fault is on a website. In various embodiments, the software also automatically kicks off an email to a distribution list in the program. The email can go to anybody that requests to be on it. For example, it is sent to an Network Operations Center, where the fault is responded to.

Abstract: Ratchet wrench, having a motor drive and having a member which oscillates angularly, cooperating with a rotor, which intermittently drives a shaft angularly through a pre-determined number of degrees, the shaft being configurated to carry a socket to fit a nut to be turned. The wrench has a head which carries the oscillating member and a ratchet pawl. A manual adjustment is provided to adjust the pawl for driving the shaft in either direction as desired. The ratchet pawl is carried in the rotor member which is mounted in the head and which carries the shaft on which is mounted the socket for fitting on the nut to be turned. All of the parts are held within the head with appropriate friction being applied to the rotor by use of a wave washer.
