Abstract: A non-invasive thermal therapy for the eye dynamically maintains a treatment temperature at the working tip of the instrument. Methods described herein pre-heat the instruments serving to reduce instrument setup time, increase battery life, reduce the weight of the handheld device, and reduce total procedure time. Related apparatuses are also described.

Abstract: This invention discloses a handheld device to provide thermal therapy to tissue by contacting a surface heated with thermal energy to a patient's tissue. Thermal energy is continuously provided during operation. The handheld device comprises an assembly to provide heat operatively connected to a removable thermal energy applicator, the applicator is configured to provide different treatments, including heat application, debridement, and expression of the treated tissue or gland.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns an improved system for administering moisture therapy to a patient, the system including: a conventional moisture therapy compress, and a therapeutically adaptive cover configured to contain the conventional moisture therapy compress and further adapted to communicate a therapeutic delivery of hot or cold moisture through a fluid permeable material to a treatment site of a patient. The therapeutically adaptive cover communicates hot or cold moisture therapy while isolating the compress from the treatment site, allowing for re-use of the compress by way of replacing the cover, or washing the cover prior to subsequent use for maintaining optimum sterility and cleanliness. Other features and advantages are disclosed in the appended detailed description of the preferred embodiments.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing notifications to monitoring systems that are remotely located from a well upon failure of a surge suppressor in a drive system for equipment used in the operation of the well. In one embodiment, an ESP system is installed in a well. A VSD having a surge suppressor is coupled between a power source and the ESP system. The surge suppressor is monitored to detect a failure of its surge suppression capabilities. In response to detecting a failure, a notification is provided to a monitoring system that is located remotely from the well. The notifications may be provided via phone call, email, text message or other means. The surge suppressor may also provide a local indication of the failure. The VSD may be configured to continue operation despite the failure of the surge suppression capability.

Abstract: An aquaculture hatchery for larval rearing includes a tank configured for larval rearing in water and a continuous filtration system in fluid communication with the tank. The filtration system is configured to remove ammonia from the water. A drainage system is provided for controllably draining water from the tank. A water supply system in fluid communication with the tank supplies purified water to replace drained water. An aeration system supplies pressurized air into the water containing solution of the tank for aeration and mixing. The continuous filtration system includes a pre-filter configured to prevent larvae from entering the continuous filtration system and a filter container containing biomass media and a nitrifying bacteria.

Abstract: A subsurface safety valve has a closure sleeve or rod mounted below the closure mechanism. Control signal pushes the sleeve up (uphole) or down (downhole), whichever is applicable, which causes the closure element to rotate (or slide, or otherwise translate) to its open position. A loss of control signal allows the closure spring to push the sleeve or rod downhole (or uphole, whichever is appropriate). This movement causes the closure element to be driven to its closed position against the seat.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a recipe for a breadless breading substitute to be used, instead of bread or batter, for the purpose of coating foods or mixing in food to create a low carbohydrate product. The recipe comprises almond meal, flax seed meal, soy flour and seasoning to form a healthy, gluten free product. When applied to food, such as chicken tenders, and then fried in oil or baked in an oven, the result is the creation of a breadless breading texture that is tasty and low in fat.

Abstract: A Computerized Tomography (CT) system for examining large objects, e.g., rocket motors, includes an improved support structure comprising a large bearing and an elongated cup-like support attached to the inner race of the bearing and extending away from the bearing in coaxial relation thereto for supporting the object to be examined and for rotating that object about the axis of the bearing. Spacers or an elevator are provided adjacent the bottom of the cup-like structure for selectively translating the object being examined along the axis of the support structure and bearing. An X-ray source is positioned to beam X-rays through the object being examined at a diametral plane in said object closely adjacent to one face of the bearing, and a detector is also provided which is responsive to X-rays passing through the object to determine the X-ray opacity of a slice of said object closely adjacent to the bearing.
