Abstract: A charging system for a vehicle includes a connector suspended on a flexible cable and an adapter having a plug at a first end and an adapter port at a second end opposite the first end. The plug is removably disposed in a charging port of the vehicle and the adapter port extends outward from the vehicle. The connector is movable along a plurality of axes perpendicular to one another into a mated position with the adapter port.

Abstract: A charging system for a vehicle includes a connector suspended on a flexible cable and movable along at least one of a plurality of axes perpendicular to one another and a charging port fixed to the vehicle. The connector is movable into a mated position with the charging port.

Abstract: A defibrillator for determining a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) compression rate, including electrodes adapted to be attached to the subject, an impedance signal measurement system connected to the electrodes and configured to measure at least one impedance signal of the subject, an electrocardiogram signal measurement system connected to the electrodes, an impedance signal processing system connected to the impedance signal measurement system, an electrocardiogram signal processing system connected to the electrocardiogram signal measurement system, a compression rate estimate processing system configured to apply a plurality of criteria to the impedance signal features and the electrocardiogram signal features and use compliance with one or more of the criteria to select one of the plurality of impedance signal compression rate estimates as the cardiopulmonary resuscitation compression rate, and an output unit configured to output feedback based on the cardiopulmonary resuscitation compression rate to

Abstract: A system and method are provided for combining an instant messaging experience with a primary media experience in a multimedia system. The method includes providing an instant messaging user interface component and displaying the instant messaging user interface component as an overlay on a screen displaying the primary media experience simultaneously with the primary media experience. The displayed instant messaging user interface component occupies a non-central portion of a screen displaying the primary media experience such that both the primary media experience and the instant messaging user interface component are visible to the user. The user interface instant messaging component may include a conversation window having a text entry section and a conversation. The instant messaging user interface enables user access with a remote control device.

Abstract: Methods of screening for vaccine candidates, vaccines against pathogenic neisscria and intermediaries for such vaccines have been developed. Two vaccine candidates TspA and TspB have been identified and characterised which either alone or in conjunction with the vaccines provide for treatment against pathogenic neisserias in particular Neisseria meningitidis and/or Neisseria gonorrhoea.

Abstract: A method and system for accessing multiple types of content from a broad range of client program modules. A client program module can access multiple types of content without the client program module having a knowledge of what type of content it is accessing. A user can dynamically add or change services to the system. The method and system can also serve as a standard way of exchanging content between services and client program modules.
