  • Aeration Method
    Publication number: 20140252662
    Abstract: This invention relates to an aerator that resides fully in the neck of a bottle or other liquid vessel. Through differential pressure, created through a venturi, the aerator mixes air with the fluid contained in the bottle. More specifically, the aerator can be used to mix air with wine as the bottle is inverted thus essentially instantly decanting the wine.

  • HEALTHCARE DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20140244282
    Abstract: Methods for hospital, healthcare, and physician data management, and corresponding systems and computer-readable mediums. A method includes collecting provider data from a plurality of data sources and creating a plurality of universal provider profiles (UPPs) from the collected provider data. Each UPP corresponds to a medical provider and includes contact information for the corresponding medical provider. The method includes storing the UPPs, receiving a query, and transmitting a query response in response to the query, the query response including provider contact information from a UPP identified according to the query.

  • Driver circuit for an electric vehicle and a diagnostic method
    Patent number: 8792222
    Abstract: A driver circuit and a diagnostic method are provided. The circuit includes a first voltage driver having a first output line electrically coupled to a main contactor coil of a main contactor. The circuit further includes a microprocessor that measures a first voltage on a first voltage feedback line if the main contactor coil is not energized. The microprocessor measures a second voltage on a second voltage feedback line if the main contactor coil is not energized. The microprocessor sets a status flag equal to a fault condition value if the first voltage is greater than a threshold voltage value. Also, the microprocessor sets the status flag equal to the fault condition value if the second voltage is greater than the threshold voltage value.

  • STATIONARY ANTERIOR PHASED ARRAY COIL FOR SIMULTANEOUS PET-MR IMAGING
    Publication number: 20140187910
    Abstract: A PET-MR apparatus includes an MR imaging system for acquiring MR signals and a PET system for acquiring PET emissions of the patient. The PET-MR apparatus also includes an anterior surface coil configured to receive MR signals from a volume-of-interest of the patient in the bore and resulting from the emitted RF pulse sequence and a coil positioning structure mounted to the PET-MR apparatus and configured to receive the anterior surface coil thereon and position the anterior surface coil proximate to the volume-of-interest of the patient without coming in contact with the patient, with the coil positioning structure being configured to provide both a vertical adjustment of the anterior surface coil relative to a coronal plane of the patient and an angular adjustment of the anterior surface coil relative to the coronal plane of the patient.

  • NONINVASIVE DETERMINATION OF INTRAVASCULAR AND EXCTRAVASCULAR HYDRATION USING NEAR INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY
    Publication number: 20140171759
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for non-invasive determination of hydration, hydration state, total body water, or water concentration by quantitative spectroscopy. The system includes subsystems optimized to contend with the complexities of the tissue spectroscopy, high signal-to-noise ratio and photometric accuracy requirements, tissue sampling errors, calibration maintenance, and calibration transfer. The subsystems include an illumination subsystem, a tissue sampling subsystem, a spectrometer subsystem, a data acquisition subsystem, a computing subsystem, and a calibration subsystem.

  • Sleeve, sub-assembly, vehicular suspension assembly and methods for forming/assembling the same
    Patent number: 8720920
    Abstract: A sleeve for assembling into a sub-assembly including a control arm of a vehicular suspension assembly prepared by a process is disclosed. The process includes the steps of: providing a tubular segment; firstly shaping a first portion of the tubular segment to include a proximal flange; secondly shaping a second portion of the tubular segment to include a distal flange. A third portion of the tubular segment forms an intermediate body extending between the proximal flange and the distal flange. The length of the tubular segment includes a substantially constant and uniform thickness after the firstly shaping step and the secondly step. A sleeve is also disclosed. A sub-assembly. A portion of a vehicular suspension assembly is also disclosed.
