Abstract: The packages described by this invention all have reduced “head space,” that is, the distance from lid to lens. Packages contain dimples to achieve this reduced head space. Specifically, packages are designed with dimple sag equal to or less than 1.90-mm, or volume displaced equal to or less than 360 ?l. Combined with the existing primary packaging, it has been found that such conditions provide for reduction in folded lens rate during shipping and handling. As well, lenses stored or having an extended time in low head space packages in a “foil down” orientation now have characteristics closer lenses stored in a “foil up orientation”.

Abstract: A display controller 93 in a data processing system includes a timewarp module (transformation circuitry) 100 that is operable to perform timewarp processing of a rendered frame 92 generated by a graphics processor (GPU) 91 for provision to a display panel 94. The timewarp module (transformation circuitry) 100 operates to transform an input surface 92 read by the display controller 93 based on received view orientation data to provide an appropriately “timewarped” transformed version of the input surface as an output transformed surface for display on the display 94.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and automated systems for real-time detection of spreading depolarizations in a brain injured patient, based an algorithm of (a) providing a reference data base of spreading depolarization waveform templates generated from EEG recordings of confirmed spreading depolarizations (SD) in a reference brain-injured patient cohort; (b) recording an EEG of the brain injured patient to generate recorded EEG waveforms; (c) detecting a slow potential change present in a recorded EEG waveform by applying a power spectral density estimate to the recorded waveform; (d) comparing a detected SPC to a reference database of SD waveform template to identify a candidate SD; and (e) rejecting a candidate SD as a false positive based on overall signal power and amplitude analysis and identifying a non-rejected candidate SD as a detected SD.

Abstract: A modular loading and unloading system for a high-speed transportation system, the system including an airlock loading zone, at least one airlock arranged in the airlock loading zone and connecting the airlock loading zone to a transportation tube of the high-speed transportation system. The airlock loading zone is configured to receive a plurality of capsules, payloads, and/or cars, and is operable to arrange the plurality of capsules, payloads, and/or cars for insertion into a high-speed transportation vehicle arranged in the airlock.

Abstract: A method for treating ascites patients by administering the peptide drug terlipressin by continuous infusion. The patients include those whose ascites condition has not progressed to hepatorenal syndrome (HRS). Administration may be accomplished with a continuous infusion pump.

Abstract: The packages described by this invention all have reduced “head space,” that is, the distance from lid to lens. Packages contain dimples to achieve this reduced head space. Specifically, packages are designed with dimple sag equal to or less than 1.90-mm, or volume displaced equal to or less than 360 ?l. Combined with the existing primary packaging, it has been found that such conditions provide for reduction in folded lens rate during shipping and handling. As well, lenses stored or having an extended time in low head space packages in a “foil down” orientation now have characteristics closer lenses stored in a “foil up orientation.

Abstract: The use of direct factor Xa inhibitors, administered in a dose sufficient to reduce the activity of factor Xa to about 25% less than normal or lower, has the effect of preventing the onset of atherosclerosis, and stabilizing atherosclerotic lesions, and preventing the occurrence or recurrence of atherosclerotic events.

Abstract: Non-limiting examples disclosed herein describe processing capabilities for ad-hoc online meetings. In an implementation, an identifier is received that corresponds with a specific location. A proximity signal is received from one or more components associated with the specific location. The received proximity signal comprises one of: a modulated light signal, an audible sound, an inaudible sound and ambient noise. The identifier is validated based on a comparison of the proximity signal with a reference signal for the one or more components. A service identifier for a conferencing session is provided based on a validation of the identifier. In one example, a computing device is connected to the conference session based on receipt of a request that comprises the provided service identifier. In another example, the conference session is automatically transferred from a client computing device to a component associated with the specific location such as a room display device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for enhancing ad-hoc online meetings. In an implementation, a service client receives an initial handoff of an online session from an initial service client that was ongoing between the initial service client and at least one other service client. The service client detects when proximate to an in-room service client. When proximate to the in-room service client, the service client initiate a subsequent handoff of the online session to the in-room service client.
