Abstract: A CMOS circuit comprises CMOS MOSFETs having n-type and p-type gates on the same substrate, wherein the substrate is divided into regions of n-type and p-type diffusions, and those diffusions are contained within a deeper n-type diffusion, used to junction isolate components within the deeper n-type diffusion from components outside of the deeper n-type diffusion.

Abstract: The invention concerns a tracer material for tracing fluid flows from a hydrocarbon reservoir. The tracer material comprises a plurality of separate agglomerates. The agglomerates comprise clusters of particles. The particles carry a tracer composition. A retaining material at least partially overlies the tracer composition. The retaining material retards the release of the tracer material so that the tracer is released at a more constant rate over a longer period than in the absence of the retaining material.

Abstract: A non-invasive electronic patient monitor tracks one or more physiological parameters of a patient, such as intravascular volume index (IVI), extravascular volume index (EVI), total hemoglobin (SpHb), impedance, and/or weight. The patient monitor determines if one or more of the physiological parameters are within a predetermined range. The patient monitor activates an alarm if one or more of the physiological parameters are outside the predetermined range and indicates a patient can be experiencing edema and/or heart failure, or sepsis.
