Abstract: Microfluidic devices for sterilizing fluids using pulsed electric fields are disclosed. In some embodiments, a device may include first and second electrode layers and a spacer layer positioned between the electrode layers. The spacer layer may define one or more fluid channels extending between the electrode layers. A power supply may be coupled to the electrode layers and configured to supply voltage pulses to the electrode layers to generate electric field pulses within the fluid channels. In some embodiments, the electrode layers may be textured such that the electric fields generated in the fluid channels are non-uniform.

Abstract: A restaurant and food recommendation system includes: a database of user data including user identification and food preference data. The system receives a recommendation request from a user device including the user identification and location data and analyzes a plurality of the food preference data from a plurality of the users to determine a probabilistic relationship between either the restaurant ratings or the menu item ratings of at least two users. Using the probabilistic relationship between either the restaurant ratings or the menu item ratings of at least two users and further filtering based on the data related to the user dietary needs and the data related to cuisine type ratings associated with the requesting user, as well as filtering using the location data received in the recommendation request, the system generates a recommendation related to a restaurant or to a menu item for the requesting user.

Abstract: A screw mount placement device allows an item to be hung levelly and allows the item to be hung in a desired position relative or not relative to already mounted objects on a wall.

Abstract: A screw mount placement device uses a gear assembly mounted in a housing to allow an item to be hung levelly and further allow the item to be hung in a desired position relative to at least one other already mounted object.

Abstract: A cover for a stethoscope, and in particular the bell or diaphragm of a stethoscope, has a semi rigid center portion with a flexible skirt extending therefrom. The skirt and the semi rigid center portion terminates in an expandable binding ring, thereby permitting the cove to be applied thereto. The cover may a unitary or a multiple piece.

Abstract: An electronic switch assembly, has at least one switch thereon, the at least one switch being capable of receiving a contact from a rotating cam, in order to control the power accessory.
