Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a body, a plurality of first flow channels defined in the body; and a plurality of second flow channels defined in the body. The second flow channels are fluidly isolated from the first flow channels. The first flow channels and second flow channels are arranged in a checkerboard pattern.

Abstract: An inductive sensing system (8) is for detecting bleeding (e.g. blood pools) in one or more regions of the body. The system comprises a resonator circuit (10) having at least one antenna (12) which is driven with an oscillatory drive signal to cause generation of electromagnetic signals for application to a body. The signals induce eddy currents in the body which generate secondary EM signals returned from the body. These interact with the resonator circuit by adding an additional component of inductance to the circuit. This inductance component varies depending upon the conductivity of the fluid in which the eddy current is induced. Blood has a different conductivity to other body fluids. The system is configured to detect presence of abnormal accumulations of blood based on the additional inductance component. The system generates a data output representative of the determination.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for improving user experience when servicing on-demand requests by a consumer for a hyper-specific media content in a network environment. The hyper-specific media content may include specified audio, video, etc. that relates to hyper-specific criteria (e.g., specific subject, location, and time condition). In an embodiment, the hyper-specific criteria in a consumer request are compared with stored hyper-specific criteria in a database. A prediction model is then trained on feature parameters of matching stored hyper-specific criteria to generate a trending level classification that can be associated with the hyper-specific criteria in the consumer request. The trending level classification indicates level of interest of third parties and may be used as a basis for content management.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for monetizing on-demand requests by a consumer of a hyper-specific media content in a network environment. Particularly, the monetizing of a requested hyper-specific media content utilizes a revenue-sharing scheme that outlines payment of compensation to parties based upon a consumption of the requested hyper-specific media content. The hyper-specific media content may include specified audio, video, etc. that relates to hyper-specific criteria (e.g., specific subject, location, and time condition). In an embodiment, the revenue-sharing scheme may include pre-configured or customizable attributes that outline the monetization of the hyper-specific media content.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for servicing on-demand requests by a consumer for a hyper-specific media content in a network environment. The hyper-specific media content may include specified audio, video, other media, or multi-media combination content that relates to hyper-specific criteria. The hyper-specific criteria cover a specifically requested subject and/or object at a specific location, for a specific time, and for a specific future context or event sufficient for a third-party to author media content to capture that context or event. In an example embodiment, the hyper-specific criteria may be used as an authoring qualification to identify specific content creator devices that may capture the particular or future events.

Abstract: A sanitizing UV lamp device for disinfecting surfaces in spaces used by people, including a motor vehicle cabin, includes a housing having a cup shaped base, UV lamps powered for a selected period of time by the control circuit, a reflector, and a protective screen surrounding the reflector and the UV lamps to provide 360-degree germicidal irradiation through openings defined by the screen.

Abstract: A cement-directing structure for use in cement-injection bone therapy includes a collapsible, self-restoring braided structure with regions of differential permeability to the bone cement. The regions of differential permeability may be provided by areas where the braided mesh density is greater or lesser than surrounding areas and/or by means of a baffle. After the structure is placed in a void within a bony structure, cement is injected into the interior of the structure then oozes out in preferred directions according to the locations of the regions of differential permeability.

The modified hydrogenation catalysts can have a relatively low cracking activity while providing an increased activity for hydrogenation.

Abstract: A system for changing the width of a person support apparatus includes a bed controller for receiving a command signal indicating a command for width alteration, a first motor controlled by the bed controller for driving an extension of a first deck section of the support apparatus thereby altering the width of the first deck section, and a second motor controlled by the bed controller for driving an extension of a second deck section of the support apparatus thereby altering the width of the second deck section. The bed controller controls the first motor and the second motor in a manner that causes the first deck section to reach a first deck section width alteration limit at a first time and the second deck section to reach a second deck section width alteration limit at a second time, wherein the first time and the second time are not equal.

Abstract: A paint according to aspects of the present application has two components that form a solid material when mixed. A lack of Volatile Organic Compounds assist in distinguishing paint according to aspects of the present application from many existing paints. By controlling humidity in the spray (application) booth or in a separate curing booth, the time to cure the coating may be correspondingly controlled. That is, the higher the Relative Humidity, the faster the cure. When heat is introduced along with humidity, the time to cure the coating may be further controlled.
