Abstract: Battery powered systems with long standby times, such as automatic external defibrillators (AEDs), may be required to indicate their operational status to a user by blinking lights or sounding speakers or buzzers. These active status indication activities consume power thereby reducing the battery life of the system. To conserve power and to be more effective in seeking attention from a human operator, the status alerts for the AED produced by an active status indicator (ASI) system can be more meaningful to humans or more unique relative to status alerts provided by conventional devices. Additionally, the ASI system may automatically adjust power consumed by the indicators in response to sensing environmental conditions of the AED.

Abstract: A printing assembly has a moving web of print receiving material. A print positioning system has a coarse coordinate system and a fine coordinate system. Registration features on the web are used by a print positioning system to form the coarse coordinate system. The coarse coordinate system is employed to predict the location of the most recent registration feature. The fine coordinate system is re-synchronized to begin measuring from the location of the predicted registration feature.

Abstract: Multi-step synergistic process for converting waxy-containing hydrocarbon feedstocks to lube oil stocks having targeted pour points is disclosed. The waxy feed is first catalytically partially dewaxed with the catalyst having the structure of ZSM-5, and then the partially dewaxed oil is subjected to solvent dewaxing to reach a targeted pour point. Pretreating the crude prior to catalytic dewaxing process such as by deasphalting and aromatic removal is also disclosed. In an alternative process, the waxy-containing hydrocarbon feed is subjected to the steps of solvent dewaxing, catalytic dewaxing, and solvent dewaxing.
