Abstract: Methods and apparatus for reducing leakage of microwaves at a slit valve of a process chamber. A multi-frequency resonant choke around the slit valve prevents microwave energy from a band of frequencies from escaping from the slit valve. The multi-frequency resonant choke may have a sloping bottom surface or a serrated bottom surface to enable multiple frequencies to resonant in the choke, canceling a range of microwave frequencies at gaps formed by a slit valve gate.

Abstract: Technologies are provided for determining, tracking, and mitigating specific phobia stimulation for a patient. In embodiments, a patient with specific phobia is automatically and dynamically identified using various clinical data available within the patient record and the exposure rate to stimuli that can potentially trigger phobia in a healthcare setup is mitigated. Initially, data is received from an electronic health care record (EHR) for a patient. The data is analyzed to determine if the patient has a phobia. If it is determined the patient has a phobia that is triggered by a treatment ordered for the patient, mitigations are automatically identified for the treatment ordered for the patient. The mitigations are dynamically provided to the clinician device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing the order of data written to a transaction log in a distributed storage system. In a system with multiple nodes, if sequencers are naively generated without taking into consideration inconsistencies among the different nodes generating the sequencers, then the sequencers may not increase for each data transaction. To alleviate this problem, the node committing the transaction to the transaction log may perform a consistent read and verifies that the sequencer advances. If the sequencer does not advance, the node can perform a context-dependent operation such as adjusting the sequencer, acknowledging the write without committing it to the transaction log, or rejecting the write altogether.

Abstract: A system and a method for monitoring a brain CT scan image using ASPECTS score. The method includes receiving the brain CT scan image of a patient. Further, a basal ganglia region and a corona radiata level are identified in a plurality of slices in the brain CT scan image.

Subsequently, an overlapping region across the plurality of slices is determined based on the plurality of anatomical regions, the plurality of infarcts, and the plurality of black regions. The overlapping region and a predefined threshold are used to compute an ASPECTS score. The ASPECTS score is further used to recommend a course of action to the patient.

Abstract: Examples of operating an Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) during power swings, are described. In an example, voltage measurements for a phase is received and sampled. Root mean square (RMS) values of the voltage samples is calculated based on the voltage measurements. Delta quantities for each phase are calculated based on the RMS values. Each of the RMS values and delta quantities are associated with respective sampling instants. In response to a delta quantity being greater than a predefined threshold, a peak delta quantity is detected. A time interval between a sampling instant associated with the peak delta quantity and a sampling instant associated with a first delta quantity is determined. Based on a comparison of the time interval with a threshold time, a disturbance condition may be detected as a power swing and consequently, fault detection at the IED may be blocked.

Abstract: The invention relates to protection from faults in a power transmission system having two or more transmission lines. Travelling waves are detected from a signal obtained with a measurement equipment associated with a bus of the power transmission system. Arrival times of a first peak of a first travelling wave, a second travelling wave and a third travelling wave, are detected from the signal. A value for line length is calculated from the arrival times and propagation velocity of the travelling wave in the corresponding transmission line. The calculated value is compared with an actual length of the corresponding transmission line, for determining if the fault is an internal fault or an external fault. According to the fault being one of the internal fault and the external fault, a signal for controlling a switching device associated with the corresponding transmission line is generated.
