Abstract: An atherectomy system includes an atherectomy burr having one or more blood flow enhancement features that permit an increased level of blood flow past the burr relative to a blood flow that would result absent the one or more flow enhancement features. A drive mechanism is adapted to rotatably actuate the atherectomy burr.

Abstract: A method for producing a mixture of oil and fluid food product includes placing a funnel into a pressure tank such that a stem of the funnel extends at least halfway down into the pressure tank. The pressure tank is flushed with nitrogen. Oil flows into the pressure tank through the funnel. A flow of nitrogen into the pressure tank is maintained through a side inlet of the pressure tank. Oil is dispensed from a pressure tank into the transfer line flowing a flow of fluid food product from a batch tank. The dispensed oil is dispersed into the flow of fluid food product in a inline shear mixer creating oil-in-fluid food product droplets. The oil-in-fluid food product droplets flow to the batch tank with the flow of fluid food product. The oil-in-fluid food product droplets are distributed in a volume of fluid food product in the batch tank.

Abstract: Methods are provided for treatment of PACS1 syndrome and PACS2 syndrome.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a welding electrode and a holder with a primary electrical connection for carrying a welding current. The electrode and the holder may separate easily due to a weak interference fit of the primary electrical connection. Bare hands may provide sufficient force for separation. The electrode and the holder may be configured for self-alignment. A quick-release mechanism may prevent unintentional dislodgement of the electrode from the holder and include a rotation-resistant device for preventing electrode rotation. A secondary electrical connection may be included to supplement or replace the primary electrical connection. A workpiece clamping force, traditionally intended for clamping the electrode to a workpiece, may also be utilized to enable the secondary electrical connection.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of establishing access to content based on a future condition comprising providing an identifier at a user device; accessing a catalogue of available content based on the identifier; selecting at least one content identifier from the catalogue; and selectively enabling content associated with the content identifier in dependence on a future condition. Reserving multimedia content such as video for a journey or flight and during the flight or journey the selected content is streamed to the user's mobile device.

Abstract: An atherectomy system includes a drive mechanism adapted to rotatably actuate an atherectomy burr and a controller that is adapted to regulate operation of the drive mechanism. The controller is adapted to calculate an estimated load torque at the atherectomy burr based upon at least one of an angular velocity of the atherectomy system and an angular acceleration of the atherectomy system. The controller is further adapted to stop or reverse the drive mechanism when the estimated load torque at the atherectomy burr exceeds a torque threshold.

Abstract: In an example, a processing device is provided. The processing device may be configured to determine whether to send a first version of a stream manifest corresponding to a received a selection of one of a plurality of stream variants of a video content asset. The processing device may be configured to, in response to determining to not send the first version, send a second different version of the stream manifest. In an example, the first version includes only a subset of a plurality of entries included in the second version and/or a bootstrap current media time that is different than an actual current media time.

Abstract: An apparatus for distributing oil into fluid food product includes a batch tank, a transfer line, a pressure tank, a funnel, an oil dispenser, an inline shear mixer, and a flow line. The batch tank holds a volume of fluid food product. The transfer line is in fluid connection with the batch tank. The pressure tank holds a volume of oil. The funnel is disposed through a top opening in the pressure tank and dispenses oil into the pressure tank. A stem portion of the funnel extends at least halfway into an interior of the pressure tank. The funnel includes at least one vent. The oil dispenser dispenses oil from the pressure tank into a flow of fluid food product from the batch tank. The inline shear mixer mixes the fluid food product and the oil. The flow line flows the fluid food product-and-oil mixture to the batch tank.
