Abstract: A peritoneal dialysis (“PD”) system includes a housing and a dialysis fluid pump housed by the housing. The dialysis fluid pump includes a reusable pump body that accepts PD fluid for pumping and a flush flow port. The PD system also includes a dialysis fluid heater for heating PD fluid, a container configured to accept and hold PD fluid, a condenser in fluid communication with the container, a chamber in fluid communication with the condenser and a flush flow line extending from the chamber to the flush flow port. The PD system further includes a control unit programmed to cause the dialysis fluid heater to heat PD fluid in the container to form steam or water vapor. The steam or water vapor is condensed in the condenser into distilled water collected in the chamber and provided from the chamber to the flush flow port via the flush flow line.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for sensing, detecting, characterizing, and imaging dielectric objects using microwave signals. An example of a method for obtaining an image with a dielectric tomography system includes positioning an object in at least a portion of an electromagnetic field of a characterized sensor including at least one transmit antenna configured to transmit a radio frequency signal within 10 MHz and 10 GHz, positioning one or more receive antennas configured to receive one or more radio frequency signals scattered by the object, determining permittivity information associated with the object based at least in part on phase and magnitude measurements of the one or more radio frequency signals received by the one or more receive antennas, and computing one or more images based on the permittivity information and calibration information associated with the characterized sensor.

An example of a method for obtaining an image with a dielectric tomography system includes positioning an object in at least a portion of an electromagnetic field of a characterized sensor including at least one transmit antenna configured to transmit a radio frequency signal within 10 MHz and 300 GHz, positioning one or more receive antennas configured to receive one or more radio frequency signals scattered by the object, determining permittivity information associated with the object based at least in part on phase and magnitude measurements of the one or more radio frequency signals received by the one or more receive antennas, and computing one or more images based on the permittivity information and calibration information associated with the characterized sensor.

Abstract: A facemask attachable to a cap or hat eliminates the burden associated with separately transporting both items. The hat includes a crown portion with a sweatband circumferentially disposed on an inner surface. The face mask includes a fabric sheet having a pair of temple straps that are clipped to the sweatband and a pair of neck straps having magnetic fasteners for securing the straps around a wearer's neck. When not needed, the mask can be readily stored within the crown portion interior while the hat is worn, if desired. When needed, the mask is deployed from the hat and the neck straps are secured around the back of the neck to comfortably position the sheet against the wearer's face.

Abstract: The invention, described herein, is an improved Fuel Injection Servo (“Servo”) for the homebuilt aircraft. The Servo has been designed to allow the manufacturer to more easily fine tune the pressure differential over the air diaphragm. The Servo also provides an idle valve that the manufacturer and homebuilder can easily fine tune. In a second embodiment, the Servo is further adapted to replace the carburetor in smaller aircraft.

Abstract: A cosmetic applicator for highlighting or imparting color to a user's hair includes upper and lower halves attached together by a hinge. Each half includes a rigid outer cap and a flexible connector surrounding and connecting the outer cap to a perimeter of the respective half. The cosmetic applicator further includes an applicator pad arranged in an interior of one of the upper and lower halves and a coloring material arranged in an interior of the other of the upper and lower halves. The flexible connector permits the outer caps of the respective upper and lower halves to be pressed inwardly toward one another so as to bring the applicator pad and the coloring material into engagement with one another.
