Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques are disclosed for verifying the occurrence of an acute health event. An example device includes communication circuitry configured to receive a communication indicative of an acute health event of a patient and memory communicatively coupled to the communication circuitry and being configured to store the indication of the acute health event. The device includes processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the communication circuitry and the memory. The processing circuitry is configured to, in response to the communication, verify the acute health event and based on the verification of the acute health event, send an alert regarding the acute health event.

Abstract: A method for determining motional branch current in an ultrasonic transducer of an ultrasonic surgical device over multiple frequencies of a transducer drive signal. The method may comprise, at each of a plurality of frequencies of the transducer drive signal, oversampling a current and voltage of the transducer drive signal, receiving, by a processor, the current and voltage samples, and determining, by the processor, the motional branch current based on the current and voltage samples, a static capacitance of the ultrasonic transducer and the frequency of the transducer drive signal.

Abstract: A golf putter head having a body having a striking face, a top portion, a bottom portion, a toe portion, and a heel portion. The putter head further has at least one weight member connectable to the body at a predetermined location on the body such that the golf putter head has a first center of gravity. The at least one weight member is repositionable with respect to and connectable to the body such that repositioning the weight member and connecting the weight member to the body at the predetermined location on the body causes the golf putter head to have second center of gravity that is different both horizontally and vertically from the first center of gravity.

Abstract: A golf swing training device includes a plurality of elongate shaft sections connected by a hinge apparatus having a plurality of distinct hinge axes, a club head secured to one of the shaft sections, and a grip connected to another of the shaft sections.

Abstract: A new golf swing training device has a club with an elongated shaft with a hand grip at one end and a club head at the other end. A hinge is interposed between the first and second ends to allow the club head to break both rearwardly and forwardly. A spring biased projection cooperates with a recess so that different forces are required to break the club head in one direction, i.e., rearwardly, relative to a second force required to break the club in a second direction, i.e., forwardly. The tension of the hinge may also be adjusted. Access to the adjusting member is accessible from a location adjacent and non-aligned with the longitudinal axis of the club. In one embodiment, the hinge may be defined by a male/female assembly. In another embodiment, the hinge is defined by substantially identical side-by-side members.

Abstract: A golf swing training device including a two-way hinge mechanism interposed between the grip and head of a golf club shaft. The hinge mechanism includes a female member having yoke portions defining a cavity adapted to receive a male member therebetween. A pivot pin is received through aligned apertures to permit articulating movement of the male member relative to the female member.

Abstract: Vulcanizable rubber compositions and articles such as tires having improved metal adhesion and metal adhesion retention to brass and brass-plated metallic reinforcement. The improvement comprises substituting at least about 10.0 parts by weight of a halogenated rubber for non-halogenated rubber present in the vulcanizable rubber composition. The non-halogenated rubber can be natural or synthetic or blends thereof. A method for improving the metal adhesion and metal adhesion retention between a vulcanizable rubber and brass or brass-plated metallic reinforcement includes the steps of blending at least about 10.0 parts by weight of a halogenated rubber with up to about 90.0 parts by weight of a vulcanizable rubber essentially free of other halogenated rubber and curing the blend of rubbers with the brass or brass-plated metallic reinforcement embedded therein.

Abstract: Naturally occurring dark, tacky, low softening thermoplastic resins of low acid number can be used as substitutes for all or part of the non-elastomeric petroleum-derived components of rubber stocks used for manufacture of tires and other rubber articles. For example, such resins can be used to replace petroleum-derived process oils or resins, or both, used in making tires. The resins, which are derived from wood, are low softening thermoplastic resins characterized by having about 15-30% unsaponifiables, 3-20% rosin acids, 3-15% fatty acids and 5-15% sterols. A typical useful resin is commerically available under the name Pamak TP.

Abstract: This invention is directed to an improved rubber skim stock composition and a product containing the skim stock having improved adhesion and adhesion retention with metallic reinforcement cords such as brassed steel. The invention composition comprises a conventional vulcanizable rubber skim stock, at least one halogenated polymer and at least one organo complex of cobalt or nickel. Tests conducted with brass-plated and zinc-plated steel cords showed improved metal adhesion and metal adhesion retention with use of the improved rubber skim stock of this invention when compared to control formulations.

Abstract: A cast aluminum hatchway cover has projecting hinge structure for mating with a hinge housing part affixed on a hatchway coaming. The hinge is detented for holding the cover in closed, partly open and fully open posture. Self-latching lock structure has a foot operable unlocking lever outside the hatchway and an emergency unlocking lever inside the hatchway. The hinge detenting mechanism comprises cams with mating elements located respectively on the cover and hinge housing part.

Abstract: A conventional stainless steel beverage syrup container having color stabilized cured rubber molded skirts adhesively bonded to stainless steel domes weld capping said container.

Abstract: Natural occurring thermoplastic resins are used as a substitute for process oils and/or hydrocarbon resins, as well as for tackifiers, softeners, extenders, processing aids, and cure retarders, in rubber stocks, as for example, a rubber skim stock used in making a tire. The resins, which are derived from crude wood rosin, are high melting thermoplastic resins having carboxylic acid groups and are insoluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons. The source of the natural occurring resins is in ample supply as they are obtained from pine trees grown in North America. A specific type of thermoplastic resin is Vinsol, a registered trademark of Hercules Corporation.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved cured rubber skim stock composition containing natural rubber utilized in the manufacture of tires, conveyor belts, hoses and the like, and with metallic reinforcement cords embedded therein. The improvement comprises from about 5 to about 25 parts by weight of Neoprene replacing an equivalent amount of natural rubber in order to impart better rubber-to-metal adhesion and adhesion retention between the rubber skim stock and the metallic reinforcement following exposure to long term humidity chamber tests.
