Abstract: A system includes memory, and processing circuitry coupled to the memory, the processing circuitry configured to: determine at least one of: a cross-electrical signal measurement at a first electrode on a first lead implanted within a tongue of the patient based on a stimulation signal between a second electrode on the first lead or a second lead implanted within the tongue of the patient and a third electrode, or a strain measurement of at least one of the first lead or the second lead. The processing circuitry is configured to determine movement of the tongue based on at least one of the cross-electrical signal measurement or the strain measurement, and generate information indicative of the movement of the tongue.

Abstract: A compressor for a heat transfer circuit includes a variable frequency drive (VFD), an electric motor that rotates a driveshaft, bearing(s) for supporting the driveshaft, a backup gas supply, and a power supply. During a utility power interruption, the backup gas supply operates utilizing DC electrical power generated by a back electromotive force of the electric motor. A method of operating an electric power supply system for a compressor includes operating in a utility power mode and operating in a backup power mode during a utility power interruption. In the utility power mode, AC electrical power is supplied from the VFD to the motor. In the backup power mode, DC electrical power generated in the VFD by a back electromotive force of the motor it used to operate a backup gas supply to supply compressed working fluid to gas bearing(s) of the compressor.

Abstract: A microfilm reader with a projection system through which individual images on a piece of microfiche can be projected through a viewing screen. The reader has a base structure on which is mounted a carriage assembly which holds the microfilm and is mounted for horizontal movement relative to the base structure. A series of magnets mounted on the carriage assembly and base structure causes the carriage assembly to be magnetically held in predetermined positions. In one embodiment the predetermined magnetically held positions are identical to the distances between the individual images on the microfiche whereby images from the microfiche can be precisely positioned on the screen without the operator viewing the image on the screen.
