Abstract: The invention is directed to systems and methods that can determine a user's fitness based on a single factor such as oxygen lung volume (pmVO2). A heart rate measurement is conducted on the user after the user performs a physical test specified by a fitness application of the system. The heart rate measurement is converted into a pmVO2 value and compared to pmVO2 values of other individuals. The system assigns the user a fitness grade based on the comparison result. The system further includes an artificial intelligent system that helps the user to move from a grade to a higher grade.

Abstract: A method includes coupling a strain gauge to a tubular member, and positioning the tubular member in the wellbore such that the tubular member is placed under bending stress by a curvature or deviation in the wellbore. The method also includes measuring bend on the tubular member with the strain gauge in at least one plane and determining one or more of the magnitude or orientation of the curvature of the wellbore based on an output of the strain gauge.

Abstract: Computer implemented methods and systems are provided that utilize a plugin to allow for quick creation of objects in a cloud-based object management system. The plugin interfaces with a browser application that interacts with the cloud-based object management system. To create objects at the cloud-based object management system, a user can activate the plugin and input information that is needed to create the object. Without logging into the cloud-based object management system, the plugin can then submit the information to the cloud-based object management system, which can use this information to create the object.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for sequestering carbon from atmospheric air using a hydroxide compound in a two stage process to maximize carbon dioxide capture. The first stage is provided by a coarse filter saturated with a calcium hydroxide solution. The second stage is provided by a reaction chamber having at least one spray nozzle for creating a mist of hydroxide solution within the reaction chamber. Air is drawn through the device by a fan to cause the air to first contact the hydroxide solution on the saturated filter, and then to contact the hydroxide solution in the mist sprayed within the reaction chamber. The hydroxide solution is collected in a reservoir, centrifuged to separate the captured carbon from the solution, and then recirculated back into the saturated filter and through the spray nozzles into the reaction chamber.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing both a read/pace mode of operation and a cardioversion/defibrillation (C/D) mode of operation utilizing common electrodes is disclosed that switches between the various modes. The apparatus incorporates a switch, such an electromechanical or electronic switch, that is used to control any number of poles and allow all of the electrode connections to be switched simultaneously. The apparatus further includes a set of intracardiac catheters or coils, which are inserted into the body intravenously to monitor the heart and to provide C/D to the patient. A second set of electrical contacts or electrode patches can provide exterior operation on a patient and the apparatus can operate with sufficient current and intensity to operate in this mode, as opposed to the intracardiac mode for the catheter electrodes. The switch enables proper selection of either set of electrodes as well as power source and intensity to achieve optimal results in treatment and monitoring of a patient's heart.
