Abstract: The present disclosure describes various aspects of various devices, and methods of making and using the devices, for measuring bioimpedance of tissues within a patient's body, such as GI tract tissue. The devices entail using various implementations of capsules or other housings that allow for ingestion or other insertion into a body of the device, equipped with microfabricated sensors and embedded circuitry enabling wireless communication. Among other benefits, this approach addresses a gap in conventional GI tract monitoring devices and methods to non-invasively access the small intestine and directly measure the inflammatory state of intestinal tissue, including ischemia, edema, and mucosal abnormalities.

Abstract: An improved method for generating complex formal language documents from simple input values, reducing the barrier to formal communications. The techniques described may be applied to different domains to generate different types of documents requiring formal language. For illustration, this disclosure focuses on generating a computer program document as programming languages are among the most formal.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating a personalized educational item is disclosed herein. A personalization engine (1003) personalizes instruction and assessment for a student based on student interests, preferences, needs, answers, data, social network, and similar personal information. The personalization engine (1003) replaces a contextual image placeholders with context fragments (1006) embodied as images related to the selected context (1005).

Abstract: A printed circuit board device includes: a first capacitive sensor configured to measure a first capacitance within a contained volume having known dimensions, wherein the first capacitance changes as a substance is received into the contained volume; a second capacitive sensor having a plurality of trigger points at a plurality of corresponding known heights within the contained volume, the second capacitive sensor configured to detect when the substance received into the contained volume has reached each of the corresponding known heights within the contained volume; and wherein at least one of a level of the substance within the contained volume, a volume of the substance within the contained volume, or a flow rate of the substance into the contained volume is determined based on data from the first capacitive sensor and the second capacitive sensor.

Abstract: A method for an uncontrolled modeling language to be hyperpiled into a general purpose language is disclosed herein. The method overcomes previous limitations by allowing for a modeling language that is syntactically simple, while conceptually unlimited, while offloading the burdens of minutia and control structure to the hyperpiler.

Abstract: An immersion heater including an encapsulated, semi-conductive, heating element. The heating element may be a non-metallic, carbon-based material in the form of a monofilament, a yarn or bundle of semi-conductive fibers which may be twisted, braided fibers or yarns, or the like. The encapsulation may be in the form of a tube of one or more layers of encapsulation material(s) with the heating element inserted therein. Alternately, the heating element may be thermoplastic with semi-conductive carbon additive, and the heating element may be coated with one or more external layers of insulating encapsulation material(s). The encapsulation material may be a rubber or thermoplastic material with sufficient chemical resistance to be immersed in a reservoir of fluid subject to freezing or thickening at low temperatures, such as DEF. The heater may be thermoformed into a predetermined fixed shape.

Abstract: A pump apparatus includes a housing located on an axis. The housing has a chamber, an inlet valve and an outlet valve. A piston driver is configured to axially reciprocate. A piston is a piston configured to reciprocate in the chamber to draw liquid into the chamber through the inlet valve during an intake stroke and to discharge the liquid out of the chamber through the outlet valve during a delivery stroke. A spring axially biases the piston to a base position relative to the driver, so that the driver, when reciprocating, will drive the piston to reciprocate. A preload structure preloads the spring to enable pressure of the liquid in the chamber to displace the piston away from the base position against the spring bias after the pressure exceeds a threshold level.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process and system for the remediation and enhancement of secondary recovery gas from a natural gas well and geologic formation. The present invention employs the use of protic and aprotic solvents which are injected in sequence into the well and geologic formation. The protic and aprotic solvents are injected into the well bore and progress through the geologic fissures and pores of the geologic formation. After reacting with the downhole and geologic formation deposits, the solvent solute, containing the remaining solvent, dissolved solids and debris, and any remaining components are extracted from the well and formation resulting in improved gas well flow rate through the formation and well bore.
