Abstract: A central portal coordinates and controls devices at client sites based on, for example, predetermined times, or requests by users or service providers.  The central portal includes one or more server computers that receive an event associated with a client site. The central portal identifies the client site from the received event and retrieves a record or other data associated with a client site. The central portal provides a command sequence based on the received event and the retrieved record, and provides, over a network, an executable command sequence to a device residing at the client site to control the device at the client site. The client site can include both private residences, commercial buildings, vehicles (cars, boats, etc.), etc. The central portal resolves any conflicts and performs any necessary data transformations.

Abstract: Le refroidissement d'ions par collision en spectrométrie de masse est une technique établie depuis un certain temps. On sait que cette technique favorise la concentration d'ions le long de l'axe d'un guide ionique. Une technique similaire a été utilisée pour améliorer le couplage d'une source d'ions pulsée, du type source MALDI, avec un instrument à temps de vol. On sait aussi qu'il est souhaitable d'aménager, en position immédiatement adjacente à celle d'une source MALDI ou autre source d'ions, une zone de basse pression favorisant les conditions d'ionisation les plus propices à la source d'ions particulière. Les ions une fois libérés et libres sont soumis à un refroidissement par collision relativement rapide, dans une zone de haute pression adjacente à la zone d'ionisation. Cela permet de dissiper l'excès d'énergie interne dans les ions, de manière à réduire sensiblement l'incidence de la fragmentation métastable des ions, lesquels peuvent ensuite être soumis aux phases classiques de l'analyse en spectrométrie de masse.

Abstract: La présente invention a trait à un procédé permettant le contrôle rapide et précis de l'écoulement de métal en fusion vers un appareil de coulée par pompage, freinage ou réglage. Le procédé utilise le principe de circulation de courant de Faraday/Ampère dans un champ magnétique unidirectionnel. Des aimants permanents comprenant du néodyme ou autres matériaux analogues de terres rares à haute énergie assurent un magnétisme étendu. Ces aimants nouveaux, généralement sous forme de cubes, sont disposés dans diverses configurations de puissance entraînant un champ magnétique B unidirectionnel intense à travers un entrefer amagnétique (44) d'une largeur plusieurs fois supérieure à ce qui serait économiquement viable autrement. Cet entrefer (44) loge un conduit (43) pour la mise sous pression et la circulation d'un flux de métal en fusion (M). Pour la production de plusieurs pièces en fonte identiques, un flux de métal en fusion (M) contrôlé, intermittent et prédéterminé est alimenté à une série de moules individuels identiques. L'invention élimine la nécessité d'opérer des vannes métallurgiques ou des mécanismes d'inclinaison coûteux pour des fours métallurgiques. Des fours existants trop bas pour permettre un déversement par gravité peuvent être rendus utilisables par certains modes de réalisation de la présente invention.

Abstract: A health monitoring and diagnostic device (LIFESTREAM cholesterol meter) configured as a self-contained testing and diagnostic unit in a clam-shell type case. One side of the case includes a spring-loaded finger stick and a compartment for carrying one or more packages of disposable items including a test strip, a needle for the finger stick, and an alcohol swipe. The other half of the case includes a test strip reader, a key pad, and a liquid crystal display. The meter reads a test strip carrying a droplet of blood and receives additional diagnostic information from the patient, such as age, gender, weight, and family history of heart disease. Within minutes, the meter displays test results, including total cholesterol levels. The meter also displays additional diagnostic results, such as the patient's "cardiac age", recommended weight loss, and a cardiac risk assessment. The meter also works in connection with a network-based comprehensive health analysis and reporting system. The meter writes patient data to a smartcard. This patient data typically includes patient identification information, the test results, the diagnostic information, and the diagnostic results. A computer station reads the smartcard and establishes a network connection with a health report server over the Internet. The computer then downloads the patient data to the health report server, which prepares a comprehensive health report. Within minutes, this report is transmitted back to the computer station, where it is printed out and delivered to the patient.
