Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for delivering a nitric oxide to a subject, wherein the system comprises: (a) a nitric oxide injection line configured to inject a first gas at an injection point into a breathing conduit comprising a breathing gas, wherein the first gas comprises a first amount of nitric oxide; (b) a sampling line configured to sample a second gas comprising a second amount of nitric oxide and the breathing gas at a sampling location between the injection point of the first gas and a subject and (c) a feedback-loop controller that is in communication with: (i) a nitric oxide set-point controller configured to set a nitric oxide set-point amount; (ii) a source configured to provide a third gas having a third amount of nitric oxide; and (iii) at least one sensor configured to measure the second amount of nitric oxide in the sampling line.

Abstract: An x-ray detector can be small and have efficient cooling. In one embodiment, the x-ray detector can comprise a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) with upper electrical connections, a support, a cap, and a silicon drift detector (SDD). A planar side of the support can be directly affixed to upper electrical connections of the TEC. The support can have a non-planar side, opposite of the planar side, with a raised structure. A bottom face of the cap can be affixed to the raised structure, forming a cavity between the cap and the non-planar side of the support. The SDD can be affixed to a top face of the cap. In another embodiment, the non-planar side of the support can face the TEC. In another embodiment, a PIN photodiode can be directly affixed to a plate and the plate directly affixed to upper electrical connections of the TEC.

Abstract: A system includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to determine a maximum vehicle speed based on a road curvature. The memory stores instructions to limit a vehicle speed at the determined maximum vehicle speed, upon receiving a user acceleration request while a user torque request at a vehicle steering wheel is undetected.

Abstract: Methods and systems may be provided that detect moisture with an antenna. Electrical impedance at the antenna may be detected by an impedance sensor. Moisture may be detected based on the impedance at the antenna.

Abstract: Configuration of detection of physical conditions in and/or around a communication apparatus is described. Further, configuration of an action responsive to the detection of physical conditions, or changes in physical conditions, is described. The communication apparatus may output a user notification in response to a moisture detection notification. A user interface of the communication apparatus may receive a user response. Further actions may be then taken based on the user response to the user notification. Alternatively or in addition, an end-user may predetermine a set of actions to be performed in response to the moisture event. Further, a respective set of actions may be specified for several possible severity levels or thresholds values of the moisture detection.

Abstract: A pyrolysis tube for use with a material deposition system includes a plurality of channels. The channels may be defined by internal elements of the pyrolysis tube, or by internal elements that form an insert for a conventionally configured pyrolysis tube. One or more of the channels may extend straight through the pyrolysis tube, providing a direct line of sight through the pyrolysis tube. Material deposition systems that include such an insert or pyrolysis tube are also disclosed, as are methods for efficiently pyrolyzing precursor materials at temperatures that are reduced relative to conventional pyrolysis temperatures and/or at rates that are increased relative to conventional pyrolysis rates.
