Abstract: A method of diagnosing central nervous system injuries such as acquired brain injury (ABI) and/or acquired spinal cord injury (ASI), including mild TBI (concussion or blast wave), mild ASI (contusion, stretch or partial cord transection), non-TBI brain injury and/or non-TSI spinal cord injury in a subject (animal or human). The method includes (a) obtaining a biological test sample from the subject, identifying metabolites in the subject's sample using metabolomics thereby obtaining a subject's metabolite matrix and generating a subject's profile using the patient's metabolite matrix; and (b) using multivariate statistical analysis and machine learning to compare the subject's profile with predetermined set of profiles of CNS injuries and a predetermined set of profiles of controls to determine if the subject has a CNS injury.

Abstract: Internet advertising to users of web browser personal computer systems is a very large and mature industry. However, many new digital devices such as cellular telephones, table computer systems, and video game console are now presenting an even larger internet advertising market. Although the techniques used for targeting advertisements to web browsers on personal computers are sophisticated, the techniques for accurately targeting internet advertisements to these new digital devices are limited. To improve the quality of targeting advertisements on new digital devices a set of techniques for accurately pairing digital identities is disclosed. Once various digital identities are linked, all of the accumulated digital profile information from these linked digital identities may be used to accurately select advertisements for all of the linked digital devices.

Abstract: A system to pair internet-connected devices comprising: a plurality of Internet servers each configured to share its server Internet Protocol address with two or more internet-connected devices that share a connection to the Internet through the Internet server; means for producing different respective frequency counts of co-occurrences of different respective pairs of internet-connected device identities: means for producing different respective Boolean counts of Internet protocol addresses having co-occurrences of different respective pairs of internet-connected device identities; and means for determining a device pairing of first and second internet-connected devices based at least in part upon frequency counts of co-occurrences and Boolean counts of Internet protocol addresses having co-occurrences.

Abstract: An electrical impedance scanner includes a first planar plate, which includes a number of excitation cells; and a second planar plate, which includes a number of detector cells. The first planar plate is held in spaced parallel relation to the second planar plate, such that a a chamber is defined. The first and second planar plates are varranged to align each excitation cell with a corresponding detector cell in a one-to-one paired relationship. Each paired excitation cell and detector cell is configured for synchronized activation with an electric field. Systems can incorporate the scanner and methods relate to use of the scanner.

Abstract: A system and method for decoupling radio frequency (“RF”) coils arranged in proximity to each other is provided. The decoupling is achieved using a magnetic wall that includes resonators arranged on an electrically insulating substrate. The magnetic wall is placed between the RF coils. When an electromagnetic field produced by one of the RF coils is incident on the magnetic wall, the magnetic wall acts to filter the incident electromagnetic field by providing a bandstop condition to the field responsible for coupling energy between coil elements. The magnetic wall is modular, and an array of such magnetic walls can be used to enclose individual RF coil elements, or sub-arrays of two or more RF coil elements.

Abstract: A system and method for decoupling radio frequency (“RF”} coils arranged in proximity to each other is provided. The decoupling is achieved using a magnetic wall that includes resonators arranged on an electrically insulating substrate. The magnetic wall is placed between the RF coils. When an electromagnetic field produced by one of the RF coils is incident on the magnetic wall, the magnetic wall acts to cancel the incident electromagnetic field by attenuating or redirecting the incident field. The magnetic wall is modular, and an array of such magnetic walls can be used to enclose individual RF coil elements, or sub-arrays of two or more RF coil elements.

Abstract: Weld deposit compositions with improved abrasion and corrosion resistance are provided by balancing percent weights of Chromium (Cr), Titanium (Ti), Niobium (Nb), and Boron (B) to allow the Chromium content of the weld matrix to be minimally reduced during carbide formation. The result is an enriched Chromium matrix that has excellent corrosion resistance in combination with highly abrasion resistant dispersed carbides.

Abstract: Weld deposit compositions with improved crack resistance, improved wear resistance, and improved hardness are provided by controlling matrix grain size and balancing Titanium and/or Niobium with Carbon and/or Boron content. Additionally, the presence of coarse chromium carbides is drastically decreased to reduce the amount of check-cracking. Preferably, the weld deposit is produced from a flux-cored or metal-cored wire. The weld deposit characteristics include a matrix having a fine grain size, small evenly dispersed carbides within the matrix, and a small amount of Carbon in the matrix.
