Abstract: A wearable device for generating extracorporeal shock waves in a thoracic region of a user includes a shock wave transducer unit to generate extracorporeal shock waves and configured to be placed on the skin of the user to apply shock wave therap. At least one proximity sensor measures the proximity of the shock wave transducer unit relative to the user's skin. A positioning mechanism is configured to controllably position the shock wave transducer unit. A processor is configured to transmit information to the shock wave transducer unit for generating extracorporeal shock waves.

Abstract: A method of dry reforming of methane (CH4) is provided. The method includes contacting at a temperature of 500 to 1000 degree Celsius (° C.) a reactant gas mixture including methane and carbon dioxide (CO2) with a bimetallic supported catalyst. The bimetallic supported catalyst includes a porous catalyst support and a bimetallic catalyst. The porous catalyst support includes aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and magnesium oxide (MgO). The bimetallic catalyst includes nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) disposed on the porous catalyst support. The method further includes collecting a product gas mixture including hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO). The bimetallic supported catalyst includes 8 to 16 weight percent (wt. %) nickel and 2 to 14 wt. % copper, each based on a total weight of bimetallic supported catalyst.

Abstract: A flexible magnetic membrane based actuation system comprising magnetic nanoparticles loaded into a polymeric material such as polyurethane and adapted to actuation of to and fro pumping motions of the membrane under application of magnetic field on the magnetic nanoparticles loaded membrane. More particularly, the present invention is directed to the said nanoparticles-loaded polyurethane magnetic membrane based actuation system adapted to function as displacement membrane for various activities requiring such to and fro motion. The magnetic membrane actuation is adapted to be controlled using electronic equipments to regulate the rate, force and frequency of displacement pulses.

Abstract: The current subject matter relates to indicating extent and location of myocardial ischemia in a patient. Electrodes can be placed on a body of the patient. Signal amplifiers can receive orthogonal electrical signals from the electrodes via three bipolar leads. The signal amplifiers can amplify the signals and send the amplified signals to analog to digital converters. The analog to digital converters can convert the amplified signals to digital signals. A computing device can execute a data analysis application that can receive these digital signals, generate QRS complexes associated with these signals, generate depolarization vectors associated with these QRS complexes, and then determine changes in magnitudes and directions of these vectors. Based on the changes in magnitudes and directions, the data analysis application can determine and display extent and location of myocardial ischemia in the patient. Related apparatus, systems, methods, techniques and articles are also described.
