Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices, methods, and systems for adjusting transmit properties based on compliance metrics for human exposure to radiation. As one example, the system determines a first transmission power limit associated with transmissions on a first radio resource, wherein the first transmission power limit is based on a first compliance level threshold of human exposure to emitted radiation when using the first radio resource. The system determines a second transmission power limit associated with transmissions on a second radio resource, wherein the second transmission power limit is based on a second compliance level threshold of human exposure to emitted radiation when transmitting using the second radio resource. The system also controls a wireless device to select either the first radio resource or the second radio resource for a transmission from the wireless device based on the first transmission power limit and the second transmission power limit.

The variable orifice valve is in fluid communication with the pressure applicator, and has an orifice size capable of dynamically changing. The valve control controls the variable orifice valve as a function of sensed pressure to produce substantially linear changes in pressure at the pressure applicator. Further, a method of vascular pressure measurement according to the present invention includes providing an applied pressure higher than a patient's systolic blood pressure at a vascular location, substantially linearly decreasing the applied pressure at the vascular location, and dynamically detecting vascular pressure oscillations at the vascular location as the applied pressure is decreased.

Abstract: A hermaphroditic ball and socket joint permits a ball to rotate freely within a socket within constrained bounds. The socket resides within a housing that has an exterior surface having a rotational axis of symmetry passing through the center of the socket. A channel connects the socket to the exterior surface. The ball extends from a member having a collar which partially enshrouds the ball and which has an inside surface that is substantially identical to the exterior surface of the socket housing and which has an axis of rotational symmetry passing through the center of the ball. The free rotation of the ball in the socket is constrained by the restricted movement of the member through the channel and the restricted rotation of the collar around the exterior surface of the housing.
