Abstract: Implementations described herein include a device having a data collection system, an actuation assembly, and a visible target. The data collection system has an illuminator, a detector, and a beam splitter operably coupled to the detector. The actuation assembly is coupled to the illuminator via a holder and has a motor coupled to a linear actuator and a speed governor. The visible target facilitates alignment of the subject's eye with the data collection system. The illuminator illuminates the target tissue with interrogating radiation and the actuation assembly moves the illuminator from a first position to a second position to scan a focal point of the interrogating radiation through a predefined thickness of the target tissue. The detector detects the at least one value of the at least one characteristic of responding radiation received from or reflected from the target tissue and uses such information to determine the onset and duration of a pathological condition.

Abstract: Insulating materials and methods for making the same are shown and described. The insulating material may include a first layer, a second layer, and a plurality of baffles between and coupled to the first and second layers. The baffles can be evenly or unevenly spaced from one another such that a substantial portion of the first layer is spaced apart from the second layer when the multilayer material forms clothing worn by a user.

Abstract: Edges, hems, patches and seams for woven fabric that has been treated for water repellency, and methods for making the same, are shown and described. In one particular embodiment of the invention, for example, a lapped seam between two pieces of water repellent fabric has an outer material at least partially overlapping an inner material, and a laminate strip positioned between the overlapping portions of the materials. The outer and inner materials, which are both oriented in the same direction, have an exterior layer of woven fabric that has been treated with water repellent and/or stain repellent chemicals, and an inner layer comprising a polymer membrane, such as polyurethane. The laminate strip has a bottom portion in contact with the outer layer of the inner material. The bottom portion has a low melt point, high flow rate adhesive system of one or more layers that penetrates and surrounds the fibers in the woven fiber of the outer layer of the inner piece of material.

Abstract: A method and circuit for controlling the selection of remote electrical loads. An illustrated embodiment of the remote load selector circuit is depicted in conjunction with an electric ceiling fan and is utilized to select rotation direction, light operation and one of several motor speeds. A remote sending unit is utilized to couple a selected fraction of the line supply voltage to the control unit. The selected fractional line supply voltage is then rectified, filtered and applied to a plurality of individually biased sensing units. Each sensing unit is utilized to select a different load condition and the output of each sensing unit is also utilized to disable the preceding sensing unit so that only the sensing unit with the highest bias will generate an output. A relay, multivibrator or other switching means is coupled to the output of each sensing unit and is utilized to select a desired load condition.
