Abstract: A method for generating a dynamic interface to display real-time information about a plurality of tradeable assets within a portfolio. The method includes receiving real-time data for each of the plurality of tradeable assets and generating a node for each tradeable asset. The nodes include a first characteristic indicative of a volume relative to the portfolio and a second characteristic indicative of a trading momentum. The method includes generating the dynamic interface which includes positioning each node within a circular common area, with the position between a center of the circular common area and an outer edge of the circular common area, the position based on the first characteristic of each node. One or more nodes has an angular movement based on the second characteristic, and the dynamic interface updates with real-time changes in the data of any of the plurality of tradeable assets.

Abstract: Described herein are two-layer 3-D cultures, including those with microfeatures at the boundary between the two layers, as well as methods of making and using such cultures.

Abstract: A breathable gas supply apparatus for connecting with a diving face mask or helmet. The gas supply apparatus is connectable with an inlet and outlet of a rebreather or reclaim unit for a first supply of breathable gas for closed-circuit use, and connectable with a second supply of breathable gas for open-circuit use. The apparatus includes: a first valve for sealing or opening supply from the rebreather or reclaim unit; a second valve for opening or sealing supply from the second supply of breathable gas; and a third valve capable of exhausting exhaled gas during open-circuit use and retaining exhaled gas during closed-circuit use. The apparatus is configured such that sealing of the first valve corresponds to opening of the second valve enabling switching between two sources of breathable gas without interruption in supply.

Abstract: Provided are a system and computer-based process of controlling operation of a display to generate an interface that presents content, for a plurality of different tradeable assets within a common region of the interface. A configuration package including a user-configurable selection of the tradeable assets and categories of content to be presented in the interface are received, and numeric data and transaction data are requested based on the configuration package. Graphical interface elements are generated, including an activity symbol, a dividend symbol, and a recommendation symbol. A signal is transmitted to cause the display to concurrently display, in a common region, each of the tradeable assets, the activity symbol, the dividend symbol and the recommendation symbol for each of the tradable assets.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed that includes an aircraft or repurposed aircraft or fuselage having a cabin capable of pressurization, a way to pressurize the cabin whether by built in machinery or external apparatus, a way to deliver oxygen to a plurality of persons in the cabin, a source of hyperbaric oxygen, a pressure gauge or regulator configured to measure or regulate a pressure of the hyperbaric oxygen or the aircraft, a plurality of face or head coverings configured to provide the hyperbaric oxygen to persons or patients in need thereof, and an optional exhaust system configured to remove gas(es) from the face or head coverings without releasing the gas(es) into the cabin. Each of the face or head coverings includes a gas inlet, a gas outlet, and one or more seals adapted to contain oxygen in the face or head covering at a pressure greater than 1 atm. A related kit and a related method of treating persons with hyperbaric oxygen are also disclosed.

Abstract: A two-segment tube fluid level indicating system attached at one end to the vehicle's engine and at the other end to a fixed structure of the vehicle's engine bay is disclosed. The two-segment tube assembly includes a first tube segment having an end attached to the engine block and a second tube segment having an end attached to a fixed structure of the engine bay. The first tube segment is a common tube segment adapted for use with a given engine. The second tube segment is specific to a vehicle model. The first and second tube segments are axially and rotatably movable with respect to each other. A bracket having an elastomeric isolator attaches the second tube segment to the fixed structure. The movability of the first and second tube segments relative to each other and the elastomeric isolator operate to prevent damage to the tube portion during engine operation.

Abstract: Disclosed are processes for applying anti-soil compositions onto BCF yarns during cable or air twisting processes prior to weaving, knitting or tufting into finished carpet. The process foregoes the need for downstream environmentally unfavorable dyeing and low pH chemical treatment processes on the finished carpet. The anti-soil composition can be comprised of a high specific surface energy chemical or other material, for example a fluorochemical. Further, the anti-soil composition can further comprise an anti-stain component. Also disclosed are systems, BCF yarns, and carpets made from the BCF yarn treated by the disclosed process.

Abstract: A pressure activated device for controlling the supply of a gas and a breathing system for underwater use incorporating the device are provided. The device comprises an input port (64) for connection to a pressurised gas supply, an output port (66), a chamber (62) and a pressure monitoring port (66). Flow control means are provided for selectively opening a fluid path (65) outside the chamber between the input port and the output port when the ambient pressure is higher than the pressure in the chamber by a more predetermined amount. Reset means (80) selectively open a fluid path (84, 92) between the pressure monitoring port and the chamber, when the pressure at the pressure monitoring port is higher than the ambient pressure by more than a predetermined amount. The device may be used to control the supply of diluent gas to an underwater breathing system, or to maintain the volume of a flexible enclosure substantially constant, irrespective of variations in the ambient pressure.
