Abstract: A power system for an engine that can be used in an aircraft, a marine vessel or a land vehicle has a storage tank containing ammonia. An engine supported on the vehicle is configured to operate using hydrogen gas as fuel. A cracking device in or adjacent the engine receives heat from operation of the engine, e.g., from a compressor or a combustion chamber, and also receives ammonia from the storage tank, and it uses the heat from the engine to dissociate the ammonia to produce hydrogen gas. The cracking device supplies the hydrogen gas to the engine, which has a combustor in which combustion of the hydrogen gas takes place. The energy from the combustion drives the engine so as to provide mechanical energy.

Abstract: A loudspeaker arrangement (800) having first and second loudspeakers mechanically coupled to each other. Either a first side of a first sound radiating surface faces a first side of a second sound radiating surface, and the first side of the first sound radiating surface and the first side of the second sound radiating surface both face a first cavity having a first opening facing towards an internal air volume, or a second side of the first sound radiating surface faces a second side of the second sound radiating surface, the first side of the first sound radiating surface faces a second cavity having a second opening facing towards the internal air volume, and the first side of the second sound radiating surface faces a third cavity separate and distinct from the second cavity, the third cavity has a third opening facing towards the internal air volume.

Abstract: Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a method, which can comprise, via an input/output device, rendering an alert of hypoglycemia risk. The hypoglycemia risk can be determined based upon a strength of an automatically determined pattern in blood glucose data. The blood glucose data can comprise new blood glucose data and/or a set of pre-existing blood glucose data. The automatically determined pattern can be determined based upon a calculation of at least two metrics.

Abstract: Certain exemplary embodiments provide devices, methods, systems, and/or computer program products related to the maintenance of optimal control of diabetes, directed to determining patterns of inadequate testing during periods that tend to precede periods of poor glycemic control, or that can be presented in the context of daily periods of poor glycemic control. A user can be notified of the pattern of insufficient testing in the time period immediate precedent to or during the period of insufficient testing, so that a detrimental pattern can be avoided and/or mitigated by the user through increased self-testing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems for monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes treatment. Methods and systems in accordance with the present invention provide information relating to variability of glucose levels and hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. Such information is based on time-stamped blood glucose data obtained from a meter or the like and actual measurements of HbA1c levels are not required.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product related to the maintenance of optimal control of diabetes, and is directed to predicting patterns of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, increased glucose variability, and insufficient or excessive testing for the upcoming period of time, based on blood glucose readings collected by a self-monitoring blood glucose device. The method, system, and computer program product pertain directly to the enhancement of existing home blood glucose monitoring devices, by introducing an intelligent data interpretation component capable of predicting and alerting the user to periods of increased risk for hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, increased glucose variability, and ineffective testing, and to the enhancement of emerging self-monitoring blood glucose devices by the same features. With these predictions the diabetic can take steps to prevent the adverse consequences associated with hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and increased glucose variability.

Abstract: A chain making plant for the manufacture of two chains at a time by means of a series of operating stations arranged along a substantially straight course. Two conveyor units are provided, each of which successively presents a depending portion of one chain to the operating stations. Each of the conveyor units comprises a carriage running on a track extending along the course and a transverse chain conveyor supported by said carriage, said transverse chain conveyor being arranged to feed the chain outwards step by step and being capable of being shifted transversely as a unit with respect to the carriage.
