Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining a measurement value for each operator of a plurality of operators. The method comprises grouping the plurality of operators into one or more sets of mutually commuting operators, each set comprising one or more of the plurality of operators. Determining, for each set of operators: a subset of transformed operators based on the set of operators, such that the set of operators are equal to products of the subset of transformed operators; a mapping circuit based on the subset of transformed operators, wherein the mapping circuit comprises an arrangement of quantum gates configured to operate on a plurality of qubits in a quantum computer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to applicators for applying powders to the vaginal mucosa.

Abstract: As briefly described in my CLAIM on page 29, my invention titled Assist-A-Lift, is the unique combination of my four separate custom-fabricated sub-assemblies herein described in this patent application that combine into a system that includes a pivot-type tongue hitch boat trailer. This trailer incorporates a fulcrum on the trailer located approximately 7 feet back from the original front 2 inch ball hitch that provides the necessary capability of the much-needed lever-effect luxury of clearance when backing uphill or on inclines where doorways are encountered. This is especially accommodating for persons with disability or handicapped individuals seeking this powered luxury tool and aid.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for the treatment of anorectal disorders are provided in which certain combinations of NO donors, PDE inhibitors, superoxide (O2?) scavengers, ?-adrenergic agonists, cAMP-dependent protein kinase activators, ?1-adrenergic antagonists, L-type Ca2+ channel blockers, estrogens, ATP-sensitive K+ channel activators and smooth muscle relaxants are used.

Abstract: A pressure sensor and pressure-sensing catheter in which a deformable pressure sensing membrane is separated from an inner metalized surface on a rigid support by an air gap. An input allows a voltage to be applied to an electrode on the sensing membrane and an output allows reading of the signal modulation from the support surface. An outer sleeve overlays the membrane and a wire bus transmits the signals to a terminal connector. The catheter may include a vented air gap, a multiplexing wire bus, and an internal cable to maintain tension.
