Abstract: There is disclosed system for oxygenating a patient in relation to anaesthesia using high flow gas delivery. The system has a flow source, and a controller for determining oxygenation requirements of the patient before or during anaesthesia. A method of oxygenating a patient in relation to anaesthesia using high flow gas delivery is also disclosed. The method determines oxygenation requirements of the patient before or during anaesthesia.

Abstract: Improved inspection techniques are described herein for checking for the presence of and identifying surface defects on a honeycomb body. The improved inspection utilizes measurement of travel of an outer surface of the honeycomb body to collect images of the outer surface. The images are combined into a composite image showing the outer surface of the honeycomb body. The composite image is analyzed to identify surface defects.

Abstract: Data integrity checks for reducing communication latency is described. A transmitting endpoint transmits data to a receiving endpoint by generating an integrity tag for a first subset of data blocks and a second integrity tag for a second subset of data blocks. In implementations, the first and second integrity tags overlap at least one data block and are offset based on computational complexities of generating the integrity tags. A receiving endpoint generates comparison tags for each of the integrity tags and uses the comparison tags to validate an authenticity of received data. In response to validating the first and second integrity tags, data blocks covered by both the first and second integrity tags are released for use. Additional integrity tags are generated and validated for subsequent subsets of data blocks during data communication, thus reducing latency by offsetting times at which comparison tags are generated and validated.

Abstract: A weight adjustable pickleball paddle system includes a main body including opposing playable faces. A handle is attached to the main body. A component receptacle is located in a lateral edge of the main body of the paddle and between the playable faces. A weighted component is dimensioned to be accommodated within the component receptacle.

Abstract: A paddle includes a head. The head includes a pair of oppositely facing playing surfaces, and an opening passing through both of the pair of oppositely facing playing surfaces. The opening extends bilaterally across a central axis through the head of the paddle. A handle is attached to the head.
