Abstract: A far-ultraviolet (far-UVC) disinfection device including a light source positioned within a housing and configured to emit a far-UVC light having an output wavelength of between about 206 nanometers to about 230 nanometers. There are one or more subject detection sensors positioned configured to detect the presence of one or more subjects and a controller in communication with the light source and the one or more subject detection sensors. The controller is configured to receive detection data from the one or more subject detection sensors and determine whether one or more subjects are within a range of the far-UVC light emitted by the light source. The controller is further configured to cause the light source to emit or cease emitting far-UVC light based on the amount of time one or more subjects are within the range of the emitted. far-UVC light.

Abstract: A tubing connector system is configured to connect first and second pieces of medical tubing. The tubing connector system includes a male module and a female module. The female module is retained in connection to the male module by a plurality of locking mechanisms. The plurality of locking mechanisms are configured to prevent the male module and female module from being reconnected after the male module has been separated from the female module. The tubing connector system also includes a valve assembly that includes a first valve member contained within the male module and a second valve member contained within the female module. The first and second valve members are interconnected in a gimbaled relationship.

Abstract: The breakaway assembly includes a first breakaway subassembly and a second breakaway subassembly. The subassemblies are configured to connect, which causes bellows sheaths in each subassembly to compress and open pores, allowing fluid to flow through the subassemblies. The subassemblies can be connected to luer tip. The luer tips can be connected to an intravenous (IV) fluid line or other types of lines used in the medical field to move fluids. This allows the movement of fluid from a fluid-holding component to a patient. Unless the subassemblies are locked together, the subassemblies will be disconnected under the correct amount of pressure. This disconnection closes the pores on the subassemblies, which keeps fluid from leaking, and prevents the contamination of the IV line. Luer tips may also be connected to the subassemblies. Some of the luer tips allow for the quick connection of the luer tip to the subassembly through a flange being inserted into a notch or flange acceptor.

Abstract: A humidifier for humidification of a reactant gas in a fuel cell includes a container having a water-gas void volume disposed about a hollow core member, and a water-gas inlet and a gas outlet disposed on an outer surface of the container. At least a portion of the hollow core member is gas permeable and in fluid communication with the water-gas void volume. The hollow core member is further fitted with a reactant gas inlet and a reactant gas outlet for passage of the reactant gas through the hollow core member. The reactant gas outlet is equipped to be in fluid communication with the fuel cell to deliver a humidified reactant gas to the fuel cell. The humidifier is integrated within a fuel cell system. A method of humidifying a reactant gas in such a fuel cell system includes providing the humidifier and passing a reactant gas through it.

Abstract: A burner shield (100) for use in a horizontal flammability test chamber (102) is a planar member (120) that contains a stop (126) and a bend (128). A first area (120A) is defined as the area of the planar member (120) between the proximate end (124) and the stop (126), limited to the area of planar member 120 inside chamber 102 by stop 126. The first area (120A) of planar member (120) is inserted through an aperture on chamber (102) so that a substantial portion of first area (120A) covers burner (104) within chamber (102) so that the top surface of first area (120A) accumulates any byproduct (130) and/or prevents it from entering burner (104). The bend (128) is angled downward relative to the horizontal axis of the first area (120A) such that a distal end (122) is substantially aligned with the stop (126) and the distal end (122) abuts or rests against the outside portion of test chamber (102) to stabilize and support burner shield (100) during testing.

Abstract: A system and method of inputting time on an electronic device having a touch screen that displays a graphical hour keypad and detects user touch input to select an hour from the keypad, and displays, either simultaneously with the hour keypad, or following selection of an hour, a graphical minute keypad and detects user touch input to select a minute from the keypad. The selection could also be done in reverse order. The hour keypad can include one 24-key keypad or two 12-key sub-keypads and the minute keypad can include one 60-key keypad and/or one 12-key keypad. If the 60-key minute keypad is not used, the user can enter a minute that is not a multiple of five by using a standard 10-digit numeric keypad, incorporating movement events or pull events, or causing a sub-keypad to be displayed. A slide gesture can be employed to select both hour and minute.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring an apparent depth of a section of an animal body are disclosed. Light is focused concurrently to an extended focal region comprising a plurality or continuum of measurement locations. Light reflected by a refractive index interface coincident with one of the plurality of measurement locations is detected. Detected light signals are generated from light reflected from first and second interfaces respectively defining the section under investigation, so that the apparent positions of the interfaces may be derived. A confocal arrangement and an axicon element may be employed. Preferably, the section is the aqueous humor of an eye. From changes in its refractive index corresponding changes in glucose concentration in the aqueous humor and, in turn, in the bloodstream of a patient may be derived, offering a non-invasive monitoring means for diabetic patients. Other compounds and structures of the body may alternatively be investigated.

Abstract: An apparatus and method that can be used for marketing and advertising during the system check of a computer, which is one of the busiest periods that the computer or computer type device has, which occurs just before the computer or computer type device initializes its operating system and after power up. The methodology is to run various forms of advertisements/commercials while the computer or computer type device is busy. The present method calls for the advertisements/commercials to run during the time window when the system check is normally displayed at a very rapid pace, and prior to the operating system attempting to engage and run the computing device. While the system check is occurring the present invention calls for advertisements/commercials to run in the foreground covering, if not all, a portion of the monitor screen.

Abstract: The present invention provides a multi-split screen image with audio feed to document the training engagement. The multi video image combines an over-watch thermal image, the Loader's actions, the Gunner's actions, and the imagery from the vehicle's thermal imaging system. The audio track documents the communication within the vehicle and between the vehicle and the control tower. Further, the present invention provides a tower control module that also provides surveillance video over the firing range. Until the present invention no other gunnery-training device transmitted and displayed its imagery and audio in this manner.
