Abstract: A phototherapeutic system in accordance with an embodiment of the present technology includes a housing at least partially defining an irradiation zone configured to accommodate at least a portion of a human subject. The system further comprises an ultraviolet (UV) radiation source configured to direct UV radiation along a radiation path extending from the radiation source to the irradiation zone. The radiation source includes a concentrated source at which UV radiation is generated, and a collimating reflector (or lens) configured to reflect (or refract) the UV radiation and thereby increase collimation of the UV radiation. The system still further comprises a filter, a spreader, and a collimator disposed successively farther downstream from the radiation source along the radiation path. The spreader and the collimator respectively decrease and increase collimation of the UV radiation before the UV radiation reaches the subject.

Abstract: A process variable transmitter provides an output representing a process variable. The process variable transmitter includes a process variable sensor that provides an analog sensor signal representing a process variable, an analog to digital converter that receives the analog sensor signal from the process variable sensor and converts it to digital sensor signal values, and a compensation processor. The compensation processor calculates, in a first mode, a compensated process variable value at a first slow rate. The compensation processor calculates a compensation factor relating the compensated process variable value to an initial digital sensor signal value. The compensation processor calculates, in a second mode, a process variable estimate as a function of an updated digital sensor signal value and the compensation factor. The process variable estimate is calculated at a second rate faster than the slow rate.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to sending data (e.g. print data or a document), in a network environment, to a port monitor, and to upload the data to an upload manager for storing in a database. Relevant data may be sent from a print spooler to the port monitor invoking an upload manger to convey (e.g. securely or non-securely) print data to a web server. A version manager determines whether the print driver being used to print data is authentic, and data are written to a web server as packets of information and sent to a database for storage. Additionally, a system, method and recordable medium are recognized whereby a pass through (e.g. a port monitor filter) is inserted between a print spooler and a port monitor in order to detach the port monitor from the print spooler such that object code can be upgraded for future versions of software.

Abstract: This invention relates to a system and method to configure, view, and order a document online. The document is uploaded from a client and transferred over a network to a server. The server includes software that allows a user to configure and preview the document online. The user may change configuration parameters as desired. Once the configuration process is complete, the user may order the document, specifying multiple recipients as desired. The user is then billed for the order and the document is delivered to the indicated recipient(s).

Abstract: This invention relates to a system and method to upload and recover print jobs over a network. A client sends to a server a request for a specific document to be uploaded for transfer across a network. The sever creates an object to identify and process the request. The server sends a response to the client indicating that the request has been received and an associated object has been created. The server stores packets of the data document as they are uploaded and transmitted. Once the complete document has been uploaded and transferred to the server, it is stored in a network accessible data store.

Abstract: A suspension and drive mechanism, especially applicable to motorcycle-type vehicles having two or more laterally mounted driven wheels, comprising a means for supporting the driven axle housing such that the vehicle body is pivotable about its longitudinal axis relative to the driven axle assembly, a means for transmitting power to the driven axle as the axle housing pivots relative to the vehicle body, a braking means capable of stopping the vehicle body pivoting motion, and a spring member which is coupled to both the vehicle body and the driven axle housing such that said spring member is deflected as the vehicle body pivots.

Abstract: An improved liquid fuel bottle having an upper neck which removably receives a top for closing the bottle to contain the liquid fuel therewithin. The bottle includes a candle-like attachment for the neck of the bottle in which the attachment can be connected directly to the bottle neck and the top can be connected directly to the upper end of the attachment. A wick is adjustably carried by a member forming part of the attachment for vertical adjustment with respect to the main body of the attachment. The wick is arranged so that, when the attachment is coupled to the neck of the bottle, the wick extends downwardly into the liquid fuel contained in the bottle. Once the attachment is on the bottle, the top can be coupled to the upper end of the attachment to close the bottle. The wick is exposed upon removal of the top to permit and the upper end of the wick can then be ignited. In this way, the wick can serve as a candle yet the liquid fuel source capability of the fuel bottle is still intact.
