Abstract: A induction hob includes: a top surface with at least one cooking zone; a holding plate arranged in parallel with the top surface; at least one inductive heating coil arranged in an intermediate space between the top surface and the holding plate; at least one electronics housing with electronics for the heating coil, which electronics housing is arranged on a side of the holding plate facing away from the heating coil; a bottom box delimiting the induction hob at the bottom, the electronics housing including the electronics being arranged in the bottom box, which is open at a top thereof, and the holding plate covering the bottom box in a substantially airtight manner at the top; and at least one fan by which a cooling air flow for cooling the electronics is generatable in the bottom box.

Abstract: A consent block is a type of block that may be stored in a blockchain. Each consent block has an owner and may store an owner consent contract, i.e., a smart contract containing owner-specified access rules that determine who may access data assets that are stored in other blocks of the blockchain and owned by the same owner. The consent block may alternatively store a global consent contract containing global access rules that supersede owner-specified access rules. The consent block also stores a hash value determined from the consent contract and a previous hash value of the block immediately preceding the consent block. The consent contract and the position of the consent block in the blockchain are verifiable from the hash value. Each consent block, once added to the blockchain, becomes part of the immutable record of data stored in the blockchain, and therefore leaves an auditable trail.

Abstract: Methods for forming thin, low resistivity metal layers, such as tungsten (W) and ruthenium (Ru) layers. The methods include depositing a metal material onto a substrate via ion beam deposition with assist in a process chamber at a temperature of at least 250° C. to produce the metal film. A resulting thin tungsten film has large and highly oriented ?(110) grains having a resistivity less than 10 ??-cm and thickness less than 300 ?, with no discernable ?-phase. A resulting thin ruthenium film has a resistivity less than 12 ??-cm and a thickness less than 300 ?.

Abstract: System and method for monitoring vital signs of a subject, such as a sleeping patient. A health monitoring device includes a thermal camera such as an uncooled microbolometer array, to monitor breathing, pulse, core temperature, and other vital signs. An audio sensor, e.g., microphone, may be used for monitoring patient respiratory sounds and other sounds. Further information such as pulse rate, PRV, blood pressure, breathing rate and oxygenation level are derived from these signals. The health monitoring device utilizes acquired signals and higher order data in analyzing patient conditions and behaviors. Higher order data include visual data based upon thermal camera signals and audio data based upon audio sensor signals. A processor is configured to output a health determination relating to one or more health parameters of the patient by inputting one or both of the visual data and the audio data into one or more machine learning models.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a support substructure for fastening a display tile to a support structure of a tiled display, the support substructure being characterized in that it is linked to the support structure by means of a first mechanism allowing movements of the display tile in a plane parallel to the nominal plane (XY) of the tiled display independently of the presence or absence of adjacent display tiles.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method of preparing a meat skinner blade is provided which includes: abrading an upper edge of a steel strip to form an angularly-offset two-facet blade edge; and, honing the two-facet blade edge of the steel strip to impart a vertical taper along the two facets of the two-facet blade edge. Advantageously, the subject invention provides a blade for meat skinning, de-membraning, and derinding having, in use, a downwardly-turned edge with vertical tapering. This provides for a robust design capable for more cuts, and, thus, longer use life, than standard meat skinner blades.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for configuring a front end to process multiple sectors with multiple radio frequency frames. In an exemplary embodiment, a method includes decoding instructions included in a job description list, and configuring one or more processing functions of a transceiver to process a radio signal associated with a selected sector based on the decoded instructions. The configuration of the processing functions is synchronized according to time control instructions included in the job description list.
