Abstract: A modular truck bed storage system is disclosed which may be readily assembled and unassembled in a bed of a truck. An example of the truck bed storage system includes a removable end panel, and a lid assembly forming a compartment in the truck bed. The lid assembly has a top portion connected to a frame to operate between an open position and a closed position. The frame is configured for securement to at least one sidewall of a truck bed. Another example includes side panels and a floor plate. Another example includes multiple end panels and a sectioned lid, enabling sub-compartments within the compartment.

Abstract: A high pressure water injection humidifier includes a high pressure pump driven by a stepper motor, which provides pressurized water to a plurality of exit nozzles, each exit nozzle having a precision orifice that atomizes the pressurized water into a mist, where the volume rate of the mist is dependent only on the motor speed and the diameter of the precision orifice. Proper nozzle flow can be determined by monitoring the torque of the stepper motor.

Abstract: A system for performing minimally invasive cardiac procedures. The system includes a pair of surgical instruments that are coupled to a pair of robotic arms. The instruments have end effectors that can be manipulated to hold and suture tissue. The robotic arms are coupled to pair of master handles by a controller. The handles can be moved by the surgeon to produce a corresponding movement of the end effectors. The controller controls and limits movement of robotic arms relative to the patient.

Abstract: An adventure system disclosed. The adventure system may include a multi-level climbing apparatus that may include a frameset comprising set of vertical members spaced about a vertical axis and a plurality of horizontal members that define different climbing levels. A slide may be coupled to the multi-level climbing apparatus.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for an ADSL access network for providing ADSL provision flow control at a DSLAM switch. The system includes an element management system in communication with a DSLAM switch; and a network management system in communication with the element management system, the network management system including a control algorithm for controlling ADSL provision flow on a DSLAM switch by introducing a two level semaphore including a first semaphore and a second semaphore. The first semaphore controls a first provision request flow at the element management system level and the second semaphore controls a second provision request flow at the DSLAM level. Disclosed is also a method of providing ADSL provision flow control at a DSLAM switch.

Abstract: Weight-shift activity is measured by small, flat, low-cost pressure sensors placed under the cushion in the seat of the wheelchair. A wireless communications device such as a Blackberry™ page processes data received from the pressure sensors and transfers the electronic records to a central database periodically or in near real-time. The information about activity and weight shift exercises is stored at the central database where it may be accessed and viewed by Internet users. Historical records of an individual's activity may be presented to the individual and authorized caregivers through secure web pages. This activity information will encourage the wheelchair user to perform regular weight shift exercises and will allow caregivers to intervene when high-risk periods of inactivity are detected.

Abstract: Provided is a system and method for employing a single instantiation of a web form for multiple data requests. A user displays a form that the user would like to submit for multiple data requests. The user executes a form extension utility. The form extension utility either modifies the form to enable the entry of multiple data requests or generates and displays a data entry spreadsheet corresponding to the web form. Once the user has entered the required information, the form extension utility generates multiple queries. The user selects a format for the results and the form extension utility submits the multiple requests to the appropriate server. The server returns results for each submitted request. The form extension utility receives the results transmitted from the server, formats the results according to the user-selected format and displays the results.
