Abstract: The system includes power-over-ethernet (PoE) sockets that interface to dedicated power and signal printed circuit boards. More particularly, the system separates power transmission circuitry from signal transmission circuitry for PoE arrays of RJ-45 sockets. The sockets include pins of different length to accommodate a stacked configuration of the power board and signal board. The pins corresponding to higher-voltage powers are a different length than lower-voltage signal pins. More than one PoE connector array may be coupled to a stack printed circuit boards, with pins of varying length, configured to engage with respective boards of the stack. The boards of the stack may be electrically isolated from each other, although the boards may be structurally engaged with each other.

Abstract: A decorative bandage (800) is provided. The decorative bandage can include a backing layer (100) defining a first major face (101) and a second major face (301). An adhesive (302) can be disposed along one of the first major face or the second major face. A pad (303) can be disposed along the adhesive layer. Another of the first major face or the second major face can include one or more design elements (601) defining a writing surface appearance (901), such as that of a blackboard or a whiteboard. A decorative bandage accessory (1300), such as one or more sticker sets 1301,1302, can be included so that a user can customize the decorative bandage.

Abstract: A turbine engine includes at least one compressor configured to increase pressure of a fluid flow and a primary combustor coupled in flow communication with the at least one compressor. The primary combustor is configured to receive pressurized fluid flow from the at least one compressor. The primary combustor includes a housing defining at least one combustion chamber. The primary combustor is configured for a rotating detonation process to occur within said at least one combustion chamber. The turbine engine also includes at least one supplemental combustor coupled in flow communication with the primary combustor. The at least one supplemental combustor is configured to receive combustion products and perform a combustion operation. The turbine engine further includes a turbine assembly coupled in flow communication with the at least one supplemental combustor. The turbine assembly is configured to receive combustion products from the at least one supplemental combustor.

Abstract: A surgical system having all of the various pneumatic control sub-systems or sub-manifolds integrally mounted on a common primary manifold. The various required control mechanisms such as valves are likewise integrally mounted to the common manifold and to the sub-manifolds. Within any or all of the sub-manifolds or primary manifolds, volumes of material not necessary for the operation of the manifold are carved or pocketed out and used to form integral accumulators for storing extra pressurized air. The volume of the accumulator can vary according to the pressurized air requirement of the particular manifold, or the overall pneumatic system.

Abstract: A mechanism having a pair of pivoting cassette clamping bars. The clamping bars are connected to a pneumatic cylinder or an electromechanical actuator through a series of links and an actuator wheel so that extension and retraction of the pneumatic cylinder or the electromechanical actuator causes the clamping bars to rotate and counter-rotate. The use of a pneumatic cylinder provides smooth, well-controlled movement of the clamping bars.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods of treating a disease or condition, wherein expression or activity of soluble CLCA1 is up-regulated, by administering inhibitors of soluble CLCA1. The invention also relates to methods of isolating soluble CLCA1 from a bodily fluid.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method comprising combusting a feed stream to form combustion products; and reforming the combustion products to produce a gaseous composition comprising hydrogen. Disclosed herein too is a method for producing hydrogen comprising introducing a feed stream comprising natural gas and air or oxygen into a cyclical compression chamber; compressing the feed stream in the cyclical compression chamber; combusting the feed stream in the cyclical compression chamber to produce combustion products; discharging the combustion products from the cyclical compression chamber into a reforming section; and reforming the combustion products with steam in the reforming section to produce a gaseous composition comprising hydrogen.

Abstract: A low emission turbine includes a reverse flow can-type combustor that generally includes a primary and secondary fuel delivery system that can be independently controlled to produce low CO, UHC, and NOx emissions at design set point and at conditions other than design set point. The reverse flow can-type combustor generally includes an annularly arranged array of swirler and mixer assemblies within the combustor, wherein each swirler and mixer in the array includes a primary and secondary fuel delivery system that can be independently controlled. Also disclosed herein is a can-type combustor that includes fluid passageways that perpendicularly impinge the backside of a heat shield. Processes for operating the can-type combustors are also disclosed.
