  • Publication number: 20180115915
    Abstract: Aspect are disclosed for determining network health based on data from a user device. A processing device can receive information about a network from a user device connected to the network. The processing device can also generate analytics about a health of the network based on the information. The processing device can also provide instructions identifying actions that can be performed to improve the health based on the analytics.

  • Publication number: 20180113500
    Abstract: A system can include a battery, a processing device, and a memory device. The battery can power a device. The memory device can store instructions are stored for causing the processing device to track data about the battery. The processing device can determine a battery life of the battery based on the data. The battery life can indicate a degradation in the battery over multiple discharge cycles. The processing device can notify a user of the device if the battery life is below a threshold value.

  • Patent number: 7104463
    Abstract: An aerosol generator comprises a vibratable member having a front, a rear, an outer periphery and a plurality of apertures extending between the front and the rear. A support element is disposed about the outer periphery of the vibratable member, and a vibratable element is coupled to the support element. The vibratable element is configured to vibrate the vibratable member at ultrasonic frequencies. An isolating structure is coupled to the support element and is configured to couple the aerosol generator to a support structure. The isolating structure has a mechanical vibrational impedance that is sufficient to substantially vibrationally isolate the aerosol generator from the support structure.

  • Patent number: 6454999
    Abstract: An integrated blood pump/oxygenator having a rotating hollow fiber bundle assembly that both oxygenates and pumps blood is provided that includes a plurality of partitions disposed within or about the fiber bundle assembly to lengthen the flow path of blood passing through the fiber bundle. Alternatively, or in addition, blood flow paths may be lengthened and oxygenation improved by providing internal recirculation paths within the pump/oxygenator, which also advantageously may be used to reduce blood trauma caused by stagnation nearing moving parts and heat build-up.
