Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for monitoring, identifying and determining the breathing cycle of an individual from processed acoustic signal waveform data. The breathing sounds of an individual are recorded using a microphone and digitized such that the breathing sounds may be plotted. The data is segmented and transformed to form a plurality of segments representative of a frequency spectrum. The frequency spectrum data is transformed so as to produce magnitude bins and the sum of lower magnitude bins and the sum of higher magnitude bins are determined in a sampling of segments. A Bands Ratio is determined from the sum of lower magnitude bins and the sum of higher magnitude bins in the sampling of segments. A first bands ratio is then determined within a given segment and compared to the mean bands ratio. If the first bands ratio of the given segment is greater than the mean bands ratio by at least a predetermined multiplier, the given segment is labeled as inspiration. If the first bands ratio of the given segment is less than the mean bands ratio by at least a predetermined multiplier, the given segment is labeled as expiration.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a process for isolation of carotenoids crystals comprising drying a plant part to obtain a meal and extracting the meal with alcohol at a temperature in the range of about 50°C to 75°C to obtain oleoresin. The oleoresin is enriched with alcohol at a temperature in the range of about 25°C °C to 50°C and hydrolyzed with alcoholic alkali at a temperature in the range of about 70°C to 80°C to obtain reaction mixture. The carotenoids crystals are precipitated from the reaction mixture by adding hot water followed by filtering, washing and drying the carotenoids crystals. The present invention also relates to carotenoids crystals comprising lutein and zeaxanthin in the ratios of about 10:1 or 5:1 or 1:1 obtained by a process which comprises mixing an oleoresin rich in lutein and an oleoresin rich in zeaxanthin separately in a ratios ranging from about 80:20 (w/w) to 90:10 (w/w) or about 70:30 (w/w) to 30:70 (w/w) or about 10:90 (w/w) to 20:80 (w/w) and homogenized to obtain a mixed oleoresin. The mixed oleoresin is then hydrolyzed with an alcoholic alkali at a temperature of about 70°C to 80°C to obtain a reaction mixture. The carotenoids crystals are precipitated by adding hot water to the reaction mixture to form a precipitate. Carotenoids crystals having lutein and zeaxanthin in a weight ratio of about 10:1 or 5:1 or 1:1 respectively are obtained by filtering, washing and drying the precipitate.

Abstract: A method of upgrading heavy oil in which the heavy oil is preheated to above a boiling point of water to remove water as steam and lighter fractions as vapours. The heavy oil passes downwardly through a series of sequential horizontal heat gradients in a temperature gradient reactor. A temperature of each sequential heat gradient progressively increases so that lighter fractions of the heavy oil vaporize with minimal cracking and heavier heavy oil fractions continue to fall by force of gravity downwards. As they pass through further sequential heat gradients of progressively increasing temperature, they tend to crack into lighter fractions in the presence of nascent hydrogen. Coke, formed from heavier heavy oil fractions generated and deposited on a fluidized catalytic bed a bottom of the temperature gradient reactor, is fluidized with superheated steam. The superheated steam generates the nascent hydrogen required to promote hydrogen reactions by indirect heated steam reforming and water-gas shift reactions.
