Abstract: The endoscope adapter for obstruction removal attaches to an endoscope via a flexible coupler/collar. The endoscope uses a pump to create suction, the low pressure causing a flow through the adapter. A constriction, or venturi, between the endoscope tip and adapter creates an increase in suction pressure, resulting in an increased effectiveness in gripping and removing obstructions, such as partially-chewed food. The endoscope adapter for obstruction removal includes two primary features: First, the tip is a larger diameter than the coupler, thus increasing the area for gripping the food or bolus. Second, a construction, forming a venturi, between the location where suction is applied by the endoscope, increasing the resulting suction.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of sensing a target analyte in a liquid sample using a bulk acoustic wave resonator device. The liquid sample is placed on the bulk acoustic wave resonator device which is operated to generate bulk acoustic waves. A shift in the fundamental resonant frequency of the bulk acoustic wave resonator device is measured.

Abstract: Techniques described herein include determining, for each account of several accounts, an element blame score (EBS) for each potential point of compromise (POC) of a plurality of POCs. Determining the EBS includes: representing the determinations as a computer computational matrix operation, dividing a matrix of the operation into blocks, and distributing the blocks among nodes for distributed computation. The method further includes determining an overall compromise blame score (OCBS) for each potential POC based on the determined EBS and determining whether the OCBSs have converged. If the OCBSs have converged, select at least one of the potential POCs as a likely POC based at least on the corresponding OCBS of the selected likely POC. If the determined OCBSs have not converged, updating the OCBS for each potential POC and the EBSs for each potential POC.

Abstract: A method and system for preparing a mixture of Guerbet alcohols where one or more primary alcohols of the formula RCH2CH2OH are provided, with R representing hydrogen or a straight or branched chain alkyl group of 1 to 14 carbon atoms. A base and a catalyst are provided, which are mixed with the primary alcohol(s). The resulting mixture is heated to a process temperature above the boiling point of water under reaction conditions and the water resulting from the thus obtained condensation and dehydration of the primary alcohols is then removed constantly. When the Guerbet reaction has reached a certain stage, at least part of the reaction mixture is removed, followed by a separation of the desired Guerbet alcohols from the removed part of the reaction mixture. The other alcohols are then returned to the reaction mixture for obtaining a higher amount of the desired Guerbet alcohols.
