Abstract: Apparatus and methods for efficient expression of breast milk is provided. The device comprises a horn having a funnel for receiving a breast and a tube extending downwards from the funnel and removably connected to a first end of a main body. The main body has a stem extending downwards from a second end. The horn portion of the device can vary in size depending on the user need to accommodate varying sizes. A flexible cylindrical diaphragm and a valve is provided and are configured to engage and create a sealing between the lower portion of the main body and a container for receiving the breast milk. The use of the cylindrical diaphragm creates minor stress points along the surface of the diaphragm, thereby making it difficult to tear or damage during repeated operation and cleaning.

Abstract: An electrical breast pump may include a permanently unobstructed continuous passageway across the diaphragm and a rolling diaphragm that is movable between a vent orientation and a vacuum orientation, or a vent piston configured to actuate a closure between a vent orientation and a vacuum orientation so that a pressure chamber is selectively in direct communication with atmospheric pressure.

Abstract: A memory includes an array of memory cells arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns. An address transform module receives a logical address including a logical column address and logical row address, and transforms the logical address into a physical address having a physical row address and a physical column address. An address decoder module accesses an individual memory cell of the array of memory cells based on the physical address.

Abstract: A method for storing data. A method for storing data comprising arranging a plurality of data buckets in a logical inverted tree structure having a plurality of levels; and performing nested hashing at each level of the plurality of levels.

Abstract: Generating a device certificate. A method of generating a device certificate comprising forming a template that will generate a device certificate upon the occurrence of a triggering event, filling in an authorization root certificate section of the template; filling in an authorization certificate section of the template, filling in a group certificate section of the template, and forming a device certificate section of the template.

Abstract: A method for handling data transmissions within a modem is disclosed. A codeword is generated by compressing one or more incoming characters. The incoming characters and codeword are subsequently stored in a buffer. Then, a cost difference between transmitting all the codewords previously stored in the buffer and transmitting all the characters previously stored in the buffer is updated based on the most recent codeword. If the determined cost difference is less than a low limit value, the characters previously stored in the buffer are transmitted. However, if the determined cost difference is greater than a high limit value, the codewords previously stored in the buffer are transmitted. Otherwise, if the determined cost difference falls inclusively between the low limit value and the high limit value, transmission of the buffered data is deferred until the cost difference is recalculated on the next codeword.
