Abstract: A computer implemented method enables perception of multiple online personas in an instant messaging communications session by identifying at least two identities within a communications environment to whom messages may be directed, and by enabling a first persona of a user to be projected to a first of the identities while concurrently enabling a second persona of the same user to be projected to a second of the identities.

Abstract: The same user is able to project different personalities while visiting different chat rooms. The personalities are tailored to the chat room being visited. Different personalization items (e.g., an icon or avatar, wallpaper, sounds, a smiley set, and text style) are provided based upon the chat room that the user is visiting. The personalization items may be customized based upon the identity of the chat room (such as a particular chat room, the type of chat room, or the content of the chat room). The personalization items may be host based and may leverage instant messaging (“IM”) personalization items. The personalization items may be user selected or user provided.

Abstract: A system is disclosed herein. The system includes an anesthesia machine, and a control system. The control system includes a touch screen, and a computer. The computer is configured to identify a first position at which the touch screen is contacted, identify a control parameter of the anesthesia machine based on the first position, and identify a second position at which the touch screen is contacted. The computer is further configured to identify a contact range comprising a generally continuous sequence of contact points including and extending in a direction away from the second position at which the touch screen is contacted. The computer is further configured to regulate the control parameter of the anesthesia machine based on the contact range.

Abstract: Applicant provides a liquid container carrying harness including a cylindrical sleeve, where in said cylindrical sleeve is open at the top and bottom, with the top portion being tapered inwards such that a bottle fits through the bottom with the bottle top extending through the top portion, a carrying strap affixed to said sleeve, wherein said carrying strap is affixed to the sides of the sleeve forming a handle, and a retention strap affixed to said sleeve, wherein the retention strap is affixed to the sides of the sleeve forming a strap extending down from the bottom portion of the sleeve.

Abstract: An improved carbon dioxide absorber for use in a closed circuit patient breathing system has a canister insertable in the breathing circuit for receiving recirculating breathing gases. The canister contains a pelletized CO2 absorbent material that removes the CO2 from the breathing gases passing through the absorber. A quantity of the CO2 absorbent material is treated with a chemical indicator such that the chemical indicator makes a color change indicative of the state of the absorptive capacity of the absorbent material. A separate quantity of the CO2 absorbent material is treated with a second chemical indicator. The second chemical indicator changes color to indicate the degree of dryness of the CO2 absorbent material. The second chemical indicator may comprise cobalt chloride and serves to indicate the potential for excessive heat generation and toxic gas generation conditions within the CO2 absorbent canister.
