Abstract: A wearable system and methods for measuring physiological data from a device worn about a body part of a user is provided comprising a base module and sensor module. The base module comprises a display and a base computing unit. The sensor module is spatially positioned relative to the base module and over a portion of the body part for measuring one or more physiological characteristics. The base module is adjustably positioned by the user relative to the sensor module such that the sensor module maintains its positioning over the body part for sufficient contact with the body part for accurate measurements of physiological data regardless of the anthropometric size of the body part.

Abstract: Tetrahydroprotoberbine (THPB) compounds and their use in the treatment of neurological, psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases is provided. The compounds include d-govadine, l-govadine and racemic govadine, as well as d-THPBs of general formula (I). Enantioselective processes for preparing compounds of formula (I), and d- and l-govadine are also provided.

Abstract: A replacement ball joint assembly (10) adapted to be pressed into a previously used and possibly distorted receiving hole (26) in a suspension component such as a control arm (28). A socket housing (12) of the assembly (10) includes a plurality of generally annular, concentric knurls (36) each having a respective crest portion (38) and separated one from another by intervening relief grooves (40). The crest portions (38) of the knurls (36) may be tapered so as to provide a lead-in feature to minimize misalignment during a press-in installation operation. The knurls (36) are preferably softer than the control arm material so that they yield during press-in rather than further disfiguring or enlarging the receiving hole (26). Displaced material from the crest portions (38) of the knurls (36) flows into the relief grooves (40).

Abstract: The startup of a fluidized bed process unit uses an air heater to raise the temperature of the unit to the level necessary for operation of the unit to be self-sustaining in its normal operating regime without the use of torch oil. This startup sequence is particularly useful for fluidized bed units which utilize a circulating catalyst with particular emphasis on endothermic conversion units such as FCC and Resid Catalytic Cracking (RCC), but also on other catalytic units with circulating catalyst inventories such as various exothermic conversion, e.g. methanol conversion, processes. Elimination of the torch oil injection enables catalyst selectivity/activity to be retained during startup and at any other time that the heat requirement of the unit cannot be met by the internal functioning of the process, e.g. by coke generation during the reaction and combustion during regeneration of the catalysts or during the reaction itself.

Abstract: A wearable system and methods for measuring physiological data from a device worn about a body part of a user is provided comprising a base module, a first sensor module, and a second sensor module. The base module comprises a display and a base computing unit. The first sensor module measures a gravitational force experienced by the device. The second sensor module is spatially positioned relative to the base module and over a portion of the body part for measuring one or more physiological characteristics calibrated based on the gravitational force measured with the first sensor module. The base module is adjustably positioned by the user relative to the second sensor module such that the sensor module maintains its positioning over the body part for sufficient contact with the body part for accurate measurements of physiological data regardless of the anthropometric size of the body part.

Abstract: Certain examples provide systems, methods, apparatus, etc., to generate formlets for user review of and interaction with clinical data and associated functionality for one or more patients. An example method includes receiving one or more query criterion to retrieve data and generating a query result of data from one or more data stores based on the one or more query criterion. The example method includes applying a transform to the query result data. The example method includes applying a data template and binding instructions to the transformed query result data to generate a formlet including data and at least one of associated relationship and functionality information for display of and interaction with the data. The example method includes facilitating runtime configurability of the formlet by a user. The example method includes displaying the formlet for user review and interaction.

Abstract: A system wearable on a body part of a user. The system includes an electronic device powered by a primary power source, and a circuitry coupled to the electronic device. The system also includes a removable secondary power source configured to charge the primary power source with secondary power when coupled to the circuitry.

Abstract: A device measuring an electrical activity of a heart and being wearable on a body part of a user. The device comprises a strap configurable to be fitted over the body part, and having an interior surface contacting the body part when worn by the user, and an exterior surface facing away from the body part. The device also includes a first sensor that is disposed on the interior surface. The first sensor is configurable to be in contact with the body part. The device also includes a clasp having a second sensor that is electrically insulated from the first sensor. The first sensor and the second sensor receive data indicative of an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal of the user when the clasp holding the strap over the body part contacts a different body part of the user.

Abstract: Event sounds for a multimedia system are assigned statically and/or dynamically to an event based on internal and/or external events and the like. An associator associates a sound to an event based on these factors. User related information that is implicit and/or explicit can also be used to determine an association between an event sound and an event. A controller controls which sound is played back when a particular event occurs based on the event sound association. Probabilities related to a user's preferences can also be utilized to determine which sound is played back during an occurrence of an event.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide an adjustable sensor support structure for optimal skin contact. Aspects of the exemplary embodiments include a sensor array comprising a plurality of sensor units arranged on a band such that the sensor array straddles or otherwise addresses a blood vessel when worn on a measurement site of a user; and a pressure exertion apparatus attached between the sensor units and the band that exerts outward pressure on the sensor units towards the measurement site causing the sensor units to maintain contact with skin of the user independent of motion activity of the band, thereby improving contact quality, wherein the pressure exertion apparatus comprises at least one of: a flexible bridge structure, a flexible foam structure, and a sensor trampoline structure.
