Abstract: After the temperature response to a single period of heating (SAR segment) is determined, temperature increases for an arbitrary timecourse of heating is determined based upon a convolution of the temperature response curve for a sequence of different SAR segments.

Abstract: A method of administrating inmate privileges in a correctional facility using a computer kiosk is provided. The method includes accepting data and information corresponding to inmate privileges for an inmate population, the data and information including restrictions on the inmate privileges. The method also includes accepting requests for privileges by an inmate, applying the restrictions to the accepted requests, and visually presenting information to the inmate regarding accepted requests.

Abstract: An exemplary system, method and computer-accessible medium for determining an effect of a millimeter wave (mmWave) radiation on an object(s), can be provided, which can include, for example, receiving information associated with a thermal(s), E field or H field scan of at the object(s) based on the mmWave radiation, and determining the effect of the mmWave radiation(s) based on the information. The information can be determined using a bioheat equation, which can be a Pennes' bioheat equation. The information can include a specific absorption rate of the mmWave radiation and/or a temperature change across the at least one object. The object(s) can be a live subject(s).

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of an apparatus according to the present disclosure comprise a radiative heating system with a radiation source configured to generate radiation for absorption by an object. A magnetic resonance system is provided with one or more coils configured to transmit and receive radio frequency energy to and from the object. A processor is configured to determine at least one of a temperature of the object and a change in the temperature of the object, based on the radio frequency energy received. A magnetic field source can be configured to generate a magnetic field within the object, and the radio frequency of the energy can be selected for magnetic resonance interactions in the object, based on a strength of the magnetic field.

Abstract: An interactive voice response system for a correctional facility commissary is described. The system is configured to receive incoming communications from an inmate to the correctional facility commissary. The system detects violations of facility restrictions to orders for commissary goods at more than one point in time, and allows comprehensive review and editing of pending orders for commissary items.

Abstract: An exhaust conduit decoupler for a vehicle having a chassis and a cab mounted to the chassis comprises a first conduit coupled to the chassis and a second conduit coupled to the cab. The first conduit comprises an inlet portion, a tapered transition portion, and an outlet portion having a smaller inner cross-sectional area than the inlet portion. The second conduit comprises an inlet section, a tapered transition section, and an outlet section such that the inlet section has a greater inner cross-sectional area than the outlet section. The outlet portion of the first conduit extends through an inlet opening of the second conduit, is positioned within the inlet section of the second conduit and is spaced entirely from the inlet section of the second conduit by a gap.
