  • COORDINATED GROUPING FOR MACHINE TYPE COMMUNICATIONS GROUP BASED SERVICES
    Publication number: 20160007138
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for the coordinated grouping of devices for receipt of network layer group based services. A service layer system such as an SCS generates a request to generate a group of devices to receive network layer services. The request is received at a network layer system such as, for example, an MTC-IWF. Network layer systems such as, for example, an HSS, identifies a manner of communicating the requested service to identified devices and communicates with the devices to provision the devices so as to be included in the requested group. The network layer systems communicate an identifier to the service layer system which the service layer may subsequently use to request execution of the service by the identified group of devices.

  • DUAL DRUM SPIRAL OVEN
    Publication number: 20160000095
    Abstract: An oven for heating food products on a conveyor includes two chambers. A conveyor belt circulates within each chamber and between the chambers. Each chamber includes a drum oriented with a vertical axis, a motor for rotating the drum about the axis, and a conveyor belt having a length helically surrounding the drum. The conveyor belt has an infeed end and outlet end. A plenum is located within the chamber along an outer extent of the chamber and is curved substantially concentrically with the drum. The plenum forms a substantially closed air pathway having an inlet at one end and an outlet at an opposite end passing air into the first chamber. A fan is arranged to circulate air within the chamber and force air into the plenum inlet, through the plenum and out of the plenum outlet. A heat exchanger is arranged in the plenum to heat the air flowing within the plenum.

  • RAPID CENTRAL VENOUS PRESSURE MONITOR
    Publication number: 20160000340
    Abstract: A device used to quickly measure central venous pressure is disclosed. Compared to current systems, the JVPM is easier to use, less expensive, and faster in providing the needed information to determine both the course of treatment and the proper positioning of the inserted catheter. As a physically smaller device that remains within the sterile operative field, the JVPM is also less likely to introduce infecting organisms into the body.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTING ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES IN A BUILDING
    Publication number: 20160004805
    Abstract: A set of energy use model parameters for each of a plurality of buildings is used to determine a typical set of energy use model parameters for the plurality of buildings. A distance between the typical set of energy use model parameters and the set of energy use model parameters for each of the plurality of buildings is determined. Each distance is compared to a critical value. A building is identified as a candidate for energy conservation measures in response to the distance for the building exceeding the critical value. Energy conservation measures are implemented in the identified building. Implementing energy conservation measures may include replacing existing HVAC equipment in the identified building with new energy-efficient HVAC equipment.
