Abstract: In one embodiment, a concentrated solar power system includes a solar tower, multiple solar receivers mounted to the solar tower at different vertical elevations, and a plurality of heliostats provided on the ground within a heliostat field, wherein each heliostat is configured to concentrate solar radiation on any of the solar receivers mounted to the solar tower.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms to provide a compact arrangement of vias extending through at least a portion of a printed circuit board (PCB) or other substrate. In an embodiment, the substrate includes a dielectric material and a sidewall structure forming a hole region that extends at least partially through the dielectric material. The hole region adjoins each of a first via and a second via, and is also located between the first via and second via. In another embodiment, the first via is coupled to exchange a first signal of a differential signal pair, and the second via is coupled to exchange a second signal of the same differential signal pair.

Abstract: A series of cosmetic scrubs and creams, some containing coffee, have the ability to moisturize, soften, scrub and revitalize body parts, create natural tanning qualities, and sooth itch from burns and bug bites.

Abstract: A response measuring system for measuring the time required for a user or subject to respond to a prompting event includes a controller or computer connected to a plurality of annunciator driving outputs and a plurality of sensor input receivers. Methods of using the response measuring system in diagnoses and prognosis of injury, disease, and disorders.

Abstract: A response measuring system for measuring the time required for a user or patient to respond to a prompting event includes a controller or computer connected to a plurality of annunciator driving outputs and a plurality of sensor input receivers. The controller also includes a timer responsive to both annunciator driving outputs and sensor input receivers; a controller memory stores response times. The annunciators can be lights or tactile vibrating stimulators for cuing or prompting the user into responding. The sensors, in general terms, sense the user's response and the timer is used to measure the interval required for the user to respond. The system includes a support member or housing for carrying and positioning the sensors and annunciators for a given experiment.
