Abstract: A technology for providing a test environment is provided. In one example, a method may include defining a macro task for an unstructured lab in a service provider environment, the macro task including a task definition and expected values for a plurality of sub-tasks within the macro task. A request to participate in the unstructured lab may be received from a client device and the macro task may be provided to the client device in response to the request. Metrics may be collected from the unstructured lab using a metrics collector. Completion of the macro task may be analyzed by comparing the metrics to the expected values and a report indicative of performance of the macro task may be provided.

Abstract: An artificial or modified natural blood flow tubing has a helical-flow inducer to induce helical flow in such a fashion as to eliminate or reduce turbulence. One inducer is a tubular stent of expansible mesh having a helical vane.

Abstract: A vascular access graft comprises an elongate conduit having proximal and distal ends. At least a portion of the elongate conduit has a self-sealing property such that the portion remains impermeable after puncturing by a dialysis needle. The vascular access graft also comprises a helical fin projecting inwardly from the inner surface of the elongate conduit and extending parallel to the axis of the elongate conduit.

Abstract: A vascular access graft (1) comprises an elongate conduit (2) having proximal and distal ends (3, 4). At least a portion of the elongate conduit (2) has a self-sealing property such that the portion remains impermeable after puncturing by a dialysis needle. The vascular access graft (1) also comprises a helical fin (6) projecting inwardly from the inner surface (5) of the elongate conduit (2) and extending parallel to the axis of the elongate conduit (2).

Abstract: A channel interface component including redundancy within a control system with highway addressable remote transfer (HART) channels is provided. In one embodiment, a circuit includes: at least two highway addressable remote transfer (HART) channels, each HART channel including an input terminal and an output terminal configured to connect with a HART device via a current loop; an channel interface component coupled to each HART channel that is configured to support HART protocol signals for communications with the HART device, wherein the channel interface component includes a suicide relay switch for connecting or disconnecting each HART channel from the HART device; and a programmable logic device coupled to the channel interface component that is configured to perform modulation and demodulation of HART protocol signals for communications with the HART device.

Abstract: An internal formation for a conduit. The formation has a longitudinally extending member adapted to extend along an inside surface of at least a portion of the length of the conduit. The longitudinally extending member has an asymmetric profile in a direction transverse of the longitudinal axis of the member.

Abstract: The invention includes a computer readable medium with executable instructions to receive a query based on nested semantic abstractions for corresponding data sources. Data source specific queries are constructed based on the query by executing the query against the nested semantic abstractions. Each data source specific query is associated with an underlying data source described by a nested semantic abstraction. The data source specific queries are executed to produce results and the results are returned.

Abstract: A computer readable storage medium comprises executable instructions to provide a workspace for a user to define an expression with expression components from a graphical palette associated with the workspace. Placeholders are indicated in the workspace for the expression components to be added by the user. The placeholders are associated with a data type. The data type is enforced for each placeholder. A structured visual representation of the expression is provided on the workspace.
