Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring subjects, analyzing EEG data, and maintaining subjects at desired sedation states using automatic processing systems to determine a mean burst suppression interval for a specified time length and using that interval to inform monitoring or administration of sedation.

Abstract: Appliances that include a ground fault door latch trip circuit that leverages a door latch circuit of the appliance to open one or more component relays upon detection of a current leakage event are provided. In particular, the ground fault door latch trip circuit can provide one or more shunt paths when a ground fault event is detected. The shunt paths can shunt current from a door latch to ground, such that the door latch circuit operates as if the door of the appliance has been opened.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing module for two liquid products, comprising: a first chamber (20) having a first wall, said first chamber having a first opening; a first piston (61) which can be displaced whilst resting on the wall of the first chamber; a second piston (64) which can be displaced whilst resting on a wall of the second chamber, and coupling means (62) for coupling both pistons whilst the product is being dispensed are provided. According to the invention, in order to prevent functional dysfunctions in the event of a distortion of the shape of container and to freely select the shape of the container, said dispensing module comprises a second chamber, the wall of which can be displaced whilst resting on the second piston, said second chamber comprising a second opening. This is achieved by virtue of the fact that the distortion of the container no longer leads to functional dysfunctions of the dispensing module. Also, the outer shape of the container can be freely selected.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing module (1) for two liquid products, comprising: a first wall (3); a first piston (64) which can slide along the first wall, and which is embodied as a first chamber (30) having at least one outlet; a second piston (61) which is designed such that it can slide along a second wall (21). Coupling means (62) are provided in order to couple together both pistons when the product is being dispensed and at least one of the pistons comprises a piston head (7) which is separated initially by the coupling means, and securing means (641, 722) are provided in order to join the piston head to the coupling means.

Abstract: A disc drive head that includes a shared pole having high magnetic anisotropy layer which locally decreases the amplitude of dynamic field excitation of the shared pole at the write operation frequency to reduce side-writing of a disc media during a write operation.

Abstract: Pulling rolls (13) for glass ribbons (11) and methods for manufacturing such rolls are provided. The rolls include a shaft (17), a plurality of heat-resistant discs (15) mounted on the shaft in face-to-face contact, and a pair of fittings (25 or 25,31) affixed to the shaft which apply an axial compressive force to the discs. The magnitude of the axial compressive force is adjust so that the portions (27) of the roll surface (33) which contact the glass ribbon during use have a Shore D hardness at room temperature of between 30 and 55. The rolls achieve a long service life without applying excessive force to the glass ribbon or generating high levels of particulate contamination.

Abstract: A hollow metal door having a foam retained tapping structure includes a hollow metal door, at least one tapping structure, and a quantity of foam injected into the hollow metal door. The hollow metal door includes a pan member and a lid member which is attached to the pan member to form the hollow metal door. The tapping structure preferably includes a fastening tube and an attachment pedestal extending from the fastening tube. A bottom of the pedestal is attached to an inside perimeter wall of the pan member adjacent where a door component is to be attached. The tapping structure is preferably attached to the inside perimeter wall of the pan member with double sided tape, but other fastening methods may also be used.

Abstract: Receiver circuits are provided for detecting a target light source. The circuits include a photocell arranged to detect light impinging thereupon, and a biasing circuit that maintains a constant reverse voltage across, the photocell irrespective of the photocell output. This maintains the capacitance of the photocell at a substantially constant value, and results in faster response times from the photocell. Further, the present invention provides circuits for effectively removing ambient conditions such as daylight from the output. Also, the present invention reduces the amount of signal loss between the photocell output and an amplifier due to loading at the input stage of the amplifier.

Abstract: A beverage container includes a body member and a lid that fits thereon in only a single orientation. One way this is accomplished is by using a lid that has an asymmetric perimeter profile such as a reniform. Another way is by using a projection on the body member that uniquely mates with a receiving area on the lid. A first orientation indicator, such as a groove, may be disposed on the body member to indicate the orientation of the container to the user's hand. A second orientation indicator may be disposed on the lid to help guide a user's lips to a drinking aperture and/or assist in preventing spillage. In a preferred embodiment, the body member includes a clear outer member and an inner member, wherein an advertising medium may be disposed between the two members for viewing.
