Abstract: A computer-implemented method for collecting, analyzing and displaying energy consumption data associated with a facility includes collecting operational data corresponding to building equipment from the facility. The operational data is fed into a cell among a matrix of cells for intensity transform analysis. The operational data may be ascribed a visual indicator based on one or more predetermined threshold operational data values, thereby generating visual indicators associated with the operational data. The visual indicators may be overlaid on the matrix of cells. The operational data may be correlated with one or more factors internal or external to the facility.

Abstract: Techniques for assessing a physiological profile of a patient include advancing a catheter shaft of a bifurcated renal catheter system into an aorta of the patient, deploying branches of the bifurcated renal catheter system into the renal arteries of the patient, detecting a renal arterial physiological parameter with a sensing mechanism, and assessing the physiological profile of the patient based on the physiological parameter. Related techniques include modifying or initiating pharmacological or surgical treatments for the patient based on the assessment.

Abstract: A spring disc includes a contiguous outer ring including a first plurality of holes and having a contiguous, upwardly curved portion having an outer edge. A middle ring encompasses a second plurality of holes, and a contiguous inner ring, is encompassed by the outer ring and the middle ring. The inner ring surrounds a central aperture sized to accommodate installation onto a cartridge case member, where the outer ring, inner ring and middle ring operate together so as to support the cartridge case by evenly distributing stresses when installed on a cartridge case. A taper angel &thgr; is built into a bottom with a value of about 1° as measured from the bottom extending radially from the center of the inner ring to the outer edge with reference to a plane parallel to an imaginary plane overlaid on the contiguous outer edge.
