Abstract: An electrocardiogram (ECG) extension cable includes a first connector configured to be electrically coupled to a physiological monitoring device, a second connector configured to be electrically coupled to an ECG lead set including a processor, an input/output (I/O) wire configured to transmit data between the physiological monitoring device and the processor, a ground wire that establishes a ground path between the first connector and the second connector, a series protection element coupled in series along the ground wire, a bypass path coupled to the ground wire in parallel to the series protection element, and a switching element arranged along the bypass path and configured to redirect the ground path along the bypass path, thereby bypassing the series protection element.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for non-invasively determining NAFLD activity scores (NAS) in patients using mechanical properties determined through magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) imaging. The non-invasively determined NAS score is then used to diagnose NFALD and NASH patients.

Abstract: A sheet fed device having a media tray and a sensor assembly is disclosed. The media tray includes a major surface having a leading portion and a trailing portion. The sensor assembly is operably coupled to the media tray. The sensor assembly includes a detector spaced-apart from and movable relative to the media tray in a path laterally across the major surface between the leading portion and the trailing portion.

Abstract: A method for surgical resection planning of a mass includes the steps of, modelling the mass based on a plurality of physical dimensions, determining a plurality of safety margins around a plurality of features within the mass, simulating a resection surface on the mass that includes a plurality of triangles, optimizing local area and position of a first of the plurality of triangles on the resection surface based on a triangle-based algorithm, updating the simulation of the resection surface, and repeating the steps of optimizing and updating for each of the plurality of triangles on the resection surface.

Abstract: Plants and methods are presented for crude feed pre-processing before feeding the crude feed into a crude unit or vacuum unit. Pre-processing is preferably achieved with a combination of a preflash drum and a preflash column that allows for high-temperature treatment of the liquids and separate vapor phase handling, which advantageously enables retrofitting existing plants to accommodate lighter crude feeds.

Abstract: Making a remote desktop protocol (RDP) aware of the availability of display stream compression (DSC) of a DSC device, such as a display-port monitor, at a client conserves system resources. The server may use simple encoding to directly encode any screen content using a DSC format required by the display-port monitor of the client and then send the encoded content to the client. The client need not decode the encoded content, but rather can send the encoded content directly to the appropriate display-port monitor connected or coupled to the client.

Abstract: In certain information handling system environments, physical devices connected to a client are redirected to a server or other information handling system. Read and write transaction requests to these redirected devices will use and occupy network bandwidth. Allowing the client to unmount its file system (if present) and locking its disk stack while permitting the server to load a virtual disk enumerator and file system stack for the processing of transaction requests to the virtual disk provides efficiency in the amount of network bandwidth required for any given transaction request. In such a system, the server processes overhead related to the transaction requests at the server and thus executes fewer transactions requests to the client.

Abstract: In certain information handling system environments, physical devices connected to a client are redirected to a server or other information handling system. The time to redirect a universal serial bus (USB) mass storage device may be lengthy given that the same metadata must be read several times. Arrival time of a redirected USB mass storage device may be decreased by collecting the complete metadata at the client and transmitting that complete metadata to the server. The server builds a metadata cache to store the metadata received from the client. Efficiencies are achieved by caching the complete metadata associated with the redirected device at the server instead of making repeated transactions requesting the same metadata from the client.
