  • DETECTION OF REVERSIBLE NERVE INJURY
    Publication number: 20170119268
    Abstract: A system for monitoring relative nerve health and the presence of neuropraxia is described. The system utilizes the integration of a waveform function of an elicited or monitored nerve response to provide an indication of the strength of a detected signal from a nerve and thus the relative health and integrity of the nerve. In some embodiments motor nerve stimulation innervates muscle and an EMG waveform is obtained in response thereto. The integration under the waveform is expressed and an indexed value indicating a percentage of a certain threshold value. Methods set forth provide a more reliable status of a nerve in real-time and allow action to be taken to reduce neuropraxia or prevent permanent nerve damage.

  • REDUCING PREHEAT TIME IN AN OVEN
    Publication number: 20170118798
    Abstract: A system and method for preheating a cooking chamber of an oven appliance. The oven appliance may include a bake heating element, a broil heating element, and a convection heating assembly including a convection heating element and a fan. The heating elements are operated simultaneously and/or in different combinations in order to rapidly preheat the cooking chamber. For example, the preheat cycle may include alternating between a first heating routine for a first time period and a second heating routine for a second time period. Preheating the cooking chamber in this manner will reduce oven preheat time, ensure proper heat balance, and improve overall cooking performance.

  • Dynamically generated media trailers
    Patent number: 9635337
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for dynamically generating media trailers for communication over a network. A request for a dynamically generated media trailer is received by a computing environment over the network.
