Abstract: An implantable medical device has a therapy module configured to generate a composite pacing pulse including a series of at least two individual pulses. The therapy module is configured to generate the composite pacing pulse by generating a first pulse of the at least two individual pulses by selectively coupling a first portion of a plurality of capacitors to an output signal line and generate a second pulse of the at least two individual pulses by selectively coupling a second portion of the plurality of capacitors to the output signal line.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer-usable medium having computer readable instructions stored thereon for execution by a processor to perform a method may include one or more of the following steps: (a) accepting a user's initial preferences regarding prayer, (b) accepting a user's input regarding prayer selection, (c) saving a prayer to memory based upon a user's selection, (d) creating an initial user's profile, (e) accepting a user's preference regarding religion, (f) accepting a user's preference regarding religious denomination, (g) accepting a user's input regarding what times the user plans to pray, (h) accepting a user's input regarding in what manner a user wishes a prayer to be presented, and (i) creating a prayer based upon a user's input.

Abstract: An improved roadway temperature monitoring system is designed to be powered by solar energy for measuring and transmitting sensed roadway surface temperatures over a wireless link to remote workstations comprises a module housing fabricated from a light-transmissive, thermally conductive tough plastic for containing a solar cell array, a microprocessor, a spread spectrum RF transmitter, a plurality of temperature sensing elements and a battery supply therefor whose charge is maintained by the solar cell array.

Abstract: A freeway interchange traffic rerouting control system allows individual ones of the gates and signs to be operated from a workstation connected via the Internet to a web server and communications server that control spread spectrum radio transceivers. A system operator logs onto the Internet, proceeds to the interchange URL where a control panel and video screen appear. Signals may be sent from the workstation to a web server to operate the gates and to turn on advanced warning signs. Video feeds from strategically located cameras allow for viewing traffic activity at the intersection at the remote workstation. Provision is also made for detecting instances of violations whereby an alarm is given and the video detailing the violation is captured for analysis.
