Abstract: Analysis of signal spectrum within a defined time period is performed by storing a signal sample, providing a displayable representation of the signal, and providing a detailed representation or analysis of a portion of the signal sample. An electromagnetic signal is received and corresponding data is stored. A signature characteristic of the signal is identified by examining general file characteristics, such as RF data and header file information. Time and frequency characteristics of the signal are determined and digital I/Q signal data are processed. A selection of a portion of the received electromagnetic field is identified and vector signal processing is applied to create a second set of similar plots, corresponding to the identified selected portion to provide simultaneous display in two display windows, with the second display window displaying the identified selected portion.

Abstract: The present invention provides a computerized interactive training method and system for receiving a user data including physical user data, medical history data and athletic goal data for the user. The method and system further includes determining a baseline data set for the user and generating a training routine for the user based on the baseline data set and the user data, including selecting a plurality of exercises for the user directed towards the athletic goal data. The method and system further includes determining a network of related users electronically networked via a networking interface, transmitting the training routine to the user and notifying the related users of the training routine. The method and system provides for receiving training feedback data from the user, including exercise-specific information and sharing the training feedback data with fellow community users.

Abstract: A fan inlet plate is provided in which a portion of the inlet plate is integral with and disposed at an angle with respect to the rest of the inlet plate to define a baffle of the fan. The portion of the inlet plate can be bent from the rest of the inlet plate. Also, the portion of the inlet plate can be at least partially cut from the rest of the inlet plate in order to facilitate bending of the portion as just described. An inlet structure for a fan housing is also provided, and has a first wall at least partially covering a side of the fan, and a second wall integral with the first wall and extending to inside the fan. In some embodiments, the first and second walls are integrally formed by a molding process.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention provide a blower assembly having a housing adapted to receive a fan therein, a bracket coupled to the housing, a motor supported on the bracket and drivably coupled to the fan, a resilient bushing coupled to the housing and positioned to support the bracket thereon, and a deformable fastener coupling the resilient bushing to the housing. The deformable fastener can include a first retaining portion and a second retaining portion. In some embodiments, the resilient bushing and at least a portion of the housing are secured between the first retaining portion and the second retaining portion.

Abstract: A method of characterizing a device under test involves the steps of first inserting a calibration standard in a test setup. Second, a calibration signal is applied to the test setup. Third, a number of vector error correction coefficients are determined. Fourth, the device under test is inserted in the test setup. Fifth, a non-sinusoidal signal is applied to the test setup. Sixth, a response to the non-sinusoidal signal is measured.

Abstract: A probe for electrocardial stimulation includes a catheter-like conduit for insertion into a patient's esophagus. The conduit has openings which are spaced apart at two longitudinal locations which are closely adjacent to the patient's heart when the probe is positioned in the esophagus. The openings pick up heart sounds and transmit them to the interior of the conduit for communication to the proximal end of the probe, where they can be monitored by attending personnel. Two electrodes are spaced apart longitudinally between and in fixed relation to the openings, so as to position the electrodes accurately relative to the heart based upon heart sounds transmitted through the openings. Other functions, such as a temperature sensor or stomach feeding or pumping capability may also be provided inside the conduit.
