Abstract: A panel positioning template includes a substrate and a template provided on the substrate and providing a visual indication for positioning of electrical and/or electronic components. The panel positioning template may be mounted to a panel or to one or more walls of an enclosure.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for selectively acquiring communication frames from a transmitting device capable of formatting the communication frames in accordance with a plurality of PHY formats. In some implementations, a STA may filter or discard duplicate frames received from an AP based, at least in part, on a preference of the STA for one of the plurality of PHY formats. The filtering may be performed at the PHY, without forwarding received communication frames to the media access control layer (MAC) for further processing. In some other implementations, an AP may refrain from sending duplicate frames to a STA based, at least in part, on a preferred frame format of the STA. Still further, in some implementations, the STA may dynamically adjust or update its preferred frame format based on changes in the distance, or channel conditions, between the STA and the AP.

Abstract: An in-situ physiologic monitor for a body is disclosed. The in-situ physiologic monitor comprises an electronic monitoring module, wherein the electronic monitoring module is capable of logging an electronic monitoring module sensed parameter; and a body attachment component, wherein the body attachment component attaches the electronic monitoring module to the body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compliance monitoring systems for health care monitors and, more particularly, in certain embodiments, to a compliance monitoring system for a mandibular repositioning device. Embodiments may include a system and method for measuring usage data of health care monitor or apparatus.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate to health monitoring systems and, in certain embodiments, to take-home monitoring systems designed for oral appliance monitoring. Embodiments include a method for obtaining data from an oral appliance. The method comprises placing an oral appliance comprising embedded electronics in an oral cavity, wherein the embedded electronics collect data; transmitting the data to a reader, wherein the reader comprises a computer, tablet computer, smart device, reader box, relay transmitter, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: This portable automobile canopy of lightweight materials and textile cloth utilizes post and sleeve mechanisms, sliding base trucks at member attachment points, a new approach of limiting coverage and a unique vehicle attachment system of hi-load lever action mechanical suction cups offering ease of deployment and car-trunk storage. Lateral boom sliding bases contribute to provide adjusting lengths and spring rollers the width of the vehicle at their ends house canopy cloth and bridge the left and right sides of the vehicle. The middle rail bridges the roof and adjust in height with the post and sleeve function. Other interconnected configurations utilizing combinations of lever action suction cups that attach to the same as described or other vehicle glass for various lightweight structural shading and other applications with this attachment method are introduced now and considered exclusive new art.

Abstract: Means of disseminating simultaneously into an atmosphere a volatile antifungal fragrance and a non-antifungal fragrance, the two fragrances being disseminated from two different sources such that the non-antifungal fragrance is more olfactively perceptible than the antifungal fragrance. Typically the non-antifungal fragrance is present in the packaging of the antifungal fragrance.

Abstract: A system for reducing an evaporation and energy transfer rate between a body of fluid and an environment is provided. The system comprises a plurality of buoyant bodies, where each of the plurality of buoyant bodies has a shape that is defined by a plurality of faces and edges, and where each edge is formed by two intersecting faces. The bodies are disposed or partially submerged in the fluid so that at least a portion of a first face of a first body contacts at least a portion of a first face of a second body to form a substantially gapless barrier between the surface of the fluid and the environment.

Abstract: A household cooking range comprises a housing defining a cooking cavity, the housing being selected from one of multiple housings with different configurations, and a modular frame chassis supporting the selected housing and cooking cavity.

Abstract: A nucleic acid formulation for use in gene delivery comprising a nucleic acid and an anionic polymer is disclosed. Examples of the anionic polymer includes anionic amino acid polymer or poly-amino acid (such as poly-L-glutamic acid, poly-D-glutamic acid, poly-L-aspartic acid, poly-D-aspartic acid), poly-acrylic acid, polynucleotides, poly galacturonic acid, and poly vinyl sulfate.

Abstract: A lumber support device and a selective stabilization support device for use in conjunction with a method of determining and treating mechanical lower back pain such as the McKenzie Approach. The lumber support device includes a semi-rigid member for positioning around the user's abdomen, the member includes a semi-rigid member for positioning around the user's abdomen. The semi-rigid member helps to prevent excessive trunk bending by the patient. At least one tensioning strap is also provided connectable at first and second end regions to a surface of the semi-rigid member. Preferably, two crossed tensioning straps are provided. The straps are provided to encircle the user's torso so as to maintain the lumber support device in position. An adjustable attachment means, for example in the form of a clip, is attached to the straps. The adjustable attachment means is movable laterally along the strap.

Abstract: An electroporation device which may be used to effectively facilitate the introduction of a macromolecule into cells of a selected tissue in a body or plant. The electroporation device comprises an electro-kinetic device (“EKD”) whose operation is specified by software or firmware. The EKD produces a series of programmable constant-current pulse patterns between electrodes in an array based on user control and input of the pulse parameters and allows the storage and acquisition of current waveform data. The electroporation device also comprises a replaceable electrode disk having an array of needle electrodes, a central injection channel for an injection needle, and a removable guide disk.
