Abstract: Disclosed are surface retarder composition and method for etching cementitious materials which achieve a desirable light “acid etch” look without using muriatic (hydrochloric) acid or sand blasting, removing the human health and environmental concerns. Formulations in accordance with embodiments disclosed herein are easier to remove from formwork or molds after demolding than conventional retarder paints. Surface retarders prevent the hydration of cement particles, which allows the uncured layer of paste next to the form to be removed such as by washing with water or other fluids, or by brushing, revealing aggregates. Also disclosed are molded cement and concrete materials or articles exhibiting such light etch.

Abstract: An optical physiological sensor configured to perform high speed spectral sweep analysis of sample tissue being measured to non-invasively predict an analyte level of a patient. An emitter of the optical physiological sensor can be regulated to operate at different temperatures to emit radiation at different wavelengths. Variation in emitter drive current, duty cycle, and forward voltage can also be used to cause the emitter to emit a range of wavelengths. Informative spectral data can be obtained during the sweeping of specific wavelength regions of sample tissue.

Abstract: A minimal action, invasive blood constituent device can streamline the process for the self-monitoring of blood-related tests by holding and facilitating the use of some or all of the tools for obtaining and testing a blood sample. The device can include a slider, that when pumped, causes the device to spring-load a lancet and eject a testing strip. The device can include a trigger that, when pressed, activates the lancet by unloading the spring. A strip-lancet apparatus can combine the roles of two disposable products-a testing strip and a lancing needle-into an apparatus that can be configured for piercing the testing site as well as receiving the blood sample. A testing strip apparatus can facilitate the use and/or disposal of testing strips. A lancet apparatus can facilitate the use and/or disposal of lancets.

Abstract: A system that enables safe cardiac pulsed field ablation by using multiple types of sensors on a patch to detect and cross-check that the heartbeat is in a safe phase to receive an ablation pulse. The patch may contain for example any or all of ECG electrodes, PPG sensors, accelerometers, and microphones. The patch may also contain one or more pulse return electrodes for unipolar ablation. A signal analyzer coupled to a pulse generator may receive sensor data from the patch and may analyze this data to determine the heartbeat phase. If data from different sensors are inconsistent, then pulse generation may be disabled as a safety feature. Otherwise, pulses may be enabled when the heartbeat is in a safe phase; for example, pulses may be excluded during the T wave.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cooling jacket for cooling a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor, wherein the cooling jacket comprises bearing housing cooling portion and a stator cooling portion, wherein the stator cooling portion comprises stator coolant guiding channel having an enlarged middle section.
