Abstract: Various embodiments are disclosed that incorporate renal function check functionality in relation to contrast media injections. A contrast media injector system (430) may incorporate a data store (414) having a plurality of records (419), each of which includes data on contrast media type (416) and a corresponding threshold renal function (418). The contrast media injector system (430) and/or an imaging device (422) may incorporate a renal function assessment module (442). This module (442) may be configured with a protocol (480) that compares threshold renal function data with patient renal function data, and furthermore may be configured to only allow an injection to proceed if the patient renal function data complies with the relevant threshold renal function data. The threshold renal function data may be retrieved from a data storage device (516) incorporated by a syringe (504) installed on the contrast medical injector system (430).

Abstract: A telecommunications system provides service to a cellular device located within a radio-frequency (RF) shadow of a communication station. The system may include a line-of-sight (LOS) antenna located in a line of sight of the station and a shadow antenna in communication with the LOS antenna and located within a line of sight of the RF shadow. The LOS antenna receives a transmitter signal from the station, and the shadow antenna receives a cellular signal from the cellular device. The LOS antenna also receives the cellular signal from the shadow antenna and, in turn, transmits the cellular signal to the station. Similarly, the shadow antenna receives the transmitter signal from the LOS antenna and, in turn, transmits the transmitter signal to the RF shadow. Accordingly, the cellular device is able to receive the transmitter signal T, and the station is able to receive the cellular signal.

Abstract: A Power Factor Corrector system for use with AC induction motors which detects information from the motor voltage and motor current and decreases the power input to the motor proportional to the detected phase displacement between the current and voltage resulting in reduced electrical power input to the motor as the mechanical load is decreased.

Abstract: A compound bow that uses mechanical advantage for interconnecting the bowstring with the resilient bow limbs is configured in such a way that all components of the mechanical advantage are positioned to lie outside the immediate vicinity of the arrow position, thereby permitting the bowstring to be aligned with the centerline of the limbs and further permitting all vector forces operating on the bowstring, limbs, and mechanical advantage to lie in a common plane, thus minimizing twisting torques applied to the limbs. In an embodiment comprising cables attached to cams as part of the mechanical advantage, the use of rotating cable-end fasteners minimizes the friction from cable flexing.

Abstract: Gas and combined gas/steam power cycles in which chemical energy is stored in a gaseous working fluid by radiolytic dissociation at a temperature below the temperature of thermodynamic macroscopic dissociation, such that the dissociated portion of the working fluid exists under conditions of macroscopic thermal non-equilibrium. The dissociated fluid components are then recombined with the energy of recombination adding heat to the working fluid for extraction in the power cycle.
