Each of the transmitter/receiver device and the central computer system, including, at least, a computer processor, communications components and system software to communicate with the observer transmitter/receiver device at specified/predetermined time intervals to receive observer- and patient-specific information.

Abstract: Systems and methods for initiating an instant messaging chat session from an email thread are described. In examples, an email thread including at least one email is received and user identifiers form the at least one email are extracted. Presence information associated with each user identifier of the plurality of user identifiers is obtained and then ordered. The ordered plurality of user identifiers together with their presence information are displayed in a user interface window. A determination to display a user control associated with an instant messaging capability is based on the presence information associated with at least one user identifier of the plurality of user identifiers. Upon receiving an indication that the user control associated with the instant messaging chat capability is selected, an instant messaging chat session is initiated.

Abstract: An injection press that has a hydraulic cylinder and a press piston located inside the hydraulic cylinder that is translatable within the cylinder. The press piston divides the hydraulic cylinder into engage and retract chambers. A pump and an auxiliary pressurization device are connected to the engage chamber. A transducer measures the pressure in the engage chamber. A controller receives signals from the transducer and operates the pump. The pump delivers hydraulic fluid to the engage chamber to pressurize and inject resin into a mold cavity through the piston. The controller discontinues operation of the pump when the pressure in the engage chamber reaches a specified cut-off level. The auxiliary pressurization device maintains pressure on the fluid in the engage chamber after the controller discontinues operation of the pump to provide back pressure on the injected resin. The auxiliary pressurization device may be an accumulator that is charged by the pump.

Abstract: An electric lamp comprises a lamp base and an envelope having a common axis, a support member having a fixing gap around the common axis, and an elastic shade of substantially conical shape. The shade has a first end portion inserted in the fixing gap and a second end portion remote from the lamp base. The diameter of the first end portion taken perpendicularly to said axis is smaller than the diameter of the second end portion, and the elastic shade is made of heat resistant plastic foil.

Abstract: A lamp with an inner capsule having lead wires comprises an outer envelope, a lamp base at the end of the outer envelope, a stem formed at the base in a location predetermined relative to the outer envelope of the lamp, and lead-out wires protruding out of the stem. The inner capsule has a pinch portion and lead-in wires protruding out of the inner capsule at least partially parallel to the central plane of the pinch portion. The lead-in wires and the lead-out wires constitute pairs of lead wires providing mechanical and electrical connection between the stem and the inner capsule. Each pair of lead wires comprises a substantially straight wire of a predetermined diameter and a spooled wire of a spooling core diameter being not smaller than said predetermined diameter, and the pairs are mounted by pushing the straight wire through the core of the spooled wire.
