Abstract: An adjustable multiple bladder system for an article of footwear is disclosed. The bladder system includes an outer bladder that may be inflated using an external pump. A valve member is disposed within the outer bladder and divides the outer bladder into two distinct inflation chambers. The inflation chambers may be inflated separately.

Abstract: A system for retracting a foil of a watercraft in the event of an impact has a strut extending from a watercraft, the strut has a pivot at one end that connects the strut to the watercraft and allows the strut to articulate around the pivot, a foil attached at a second end of the strut, wherein the foil has sufficient surface area configured to generate positive lift when the watercraft is traveling over water; and a retraction system including a mechanical fuse connected to the strut, the mechanical fuse holds the strut stationary and is subject to forces from the strut when the strut travels through water, the retraction system allows retraction of the strut around the pivot when the strut experiences a force greater than a predetermined limit, and the foil is configured to articulate on the strut to maintain positive lift orientation as the strut is retracting.

Abstract: A composite comprising (i) a pressure-sensitive adhesive component including first and second planar surfaces; (ii) a fire-resistant fabric adhered to the first planar surface; and (iii) a cap layer disposed on said fire-resistant fabric opposite said asphaltic component.

Abstract: A truck body has passageways formed therein to pass hot vehicle exhaust through the front wall, the side walls, and the floor of the body to heat the body and assist with removal of mining material from the body during dumping. The body has forward or fore exhaust ports and more rearward or aft exhaust ports for the exhaust, so that the body may be mounted on a truck chassis that has fore terminating exhaust pipes or on a truck chassis that has aft terminating exhaust pipes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds and compositions for the inhibition of NAMPT, their synthesis, applications and antidotes.

Abstract: An adaptive fluid system for an article of footwear is disclosed. The adaptive fluid system includes a fluid chamber that provides cushioning and shock absorption for a foot. The adaptive fluid system includes an adjustable pressure regulating valve that may be used to control the pressure of the fluid chamber. The adaptive fluid system includes a valve that prevents fluid from escaping from a fluid chamber during use.

Abstract: An improvement in a wet scrubbing process for treating gaseous industrial process streams which contain one or more of SO2, SO3, H2SO4 which comprises contacting the stream of gas with a countercurrent flow of liquid derived from a circulating liquid stream which includes (i) a purge stream configured to remove a portion of the circulating liquid having a concentration of H2SO4 from the process, and (ii) a liquid make-up stream configured to replace the portion of the circulating liquid that is removed from the circulating liquid stream, the improvement comprising controlling the flow of liquid make-up whereby the concentration of H2SO4 in the purge stream is increased to a useful value; and filtering the purge stream to remove unwanted contaminants to yield a clarified purge stream.

Abstract: A system for assisting cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) treatment of a patient includes a defibrillator system including a defibrillator communicatively coupled to a local computing device and configured to receive signals from treatment sensors, a patient support section, and a tilt adjuster coupled to the patient support section. The tilt adjuster is configured to communicatively couple with the defibrillator system, receive a control signal indicative of a target tilt angle from the local computing device, and automatically tilt the patient support section, around a transverse axis, to the target tilt angle in response to the control signal from the local computing device. The system also includes a chest compression device mount disposed on the patient support section and configured to adjustably secure a chest compression device to the patient support section.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds and compositions for the inhibition of NAMPT, their synthesis, applications and antidotes. An embodiment of the invention is the provision of a compound of Formula IIIA.

Abstract: A medical resuscitation system includes a platform for releasable coupling to a patient for delivery of mechanical chest compressions, the platform having sensor(s) for monitoring aspect(s) of compression delivery, and processing circuitry configured to control the delivery chest compressions during a patient therapy session; receive, during the session, signals from each sensor; and store, to a memory, operational data collected for use by an authorized user in troubleshooting a problem with the platform and/or gathering historic data regarding use of the platform, and clinical metrics regarding the delivery of the compressions during the session, where the clinical metrics are collected for use in a summary report accessible to a clinical user. The summary report may be transferred to a server or a portable computer readable medium. The operational data may be transferred to an accessory unit or data integrator configured to cooperate with the platform for providing the therapy.
