Abstract: Systems and methods for connecting a power source to switched capacitors are provided. A method may be used in controlling the connection of a multiple phase power source to a plurality of capacitors. Each phase of the multiple phase power source is electrically connectable to at least one of the plurality of capacitors through a switching device. The method comprises, for each phase of the multiple phase power source, determining a first voltage of a power signal for the respective phase of the power source using a first voltage divider that is electrically connected to a first terminal of the switching device for the phase. The method further comprises, for each phase, determining a second voltage across a capacitor that is electrically connected to a second terminal of the switching device for the phase. The second voltage is determined using a second voltage divider that is electrically connected to the second terminal of the switching device for the phase. The method further comprises, for each phase, generating a close signal configured to cause the switching device for the phase to close and electrically connect the respective phase of the power source to the capacitor when the difference between the first voltage and the second voltage is approximately zero.

Abstract: A patient encounter documentation and analytics system includes a mobile computing platform and a server-based host platform. A mobile application in tandem with a wireless microphone collects voice signals during a patient-caregiver encounter, transforms the voice signals into audio data files, and uploads the audio data files to the server. A speech recognition software module digitally transcribes the audio data file into text. A text processing module extracts and organizes relevant clinical data based on keyword, key phrase and question/answer analysis. A diagnostic decision support module enables the healthcare provider to review the determined clinical information and provide a diagnosis associated with the encounter. A documentation skeleton module extracts diagnosis-specific text components from the transcribed text file and assembles an electronic medical document based on the diagnosis and the diagnosis-specific text components.

The blades (20, 30) are disposed at different distances from the axis about which the casing rotates, so that the outer blade (20) passes closer to the wall of the bowl (60) than does the inner blade (30), and the food-contacting surfaces of the blades are each formed to gently lift and turn ingredients, such that the outer blade (20) turns ingredients in towards the axis and the inner (30) blade turns ingredients outwardly therefrom. The blades (20, 30) may be mounted to the casing part (40) for simple bodily rotation therewith. Alternatively, one or both of the blades (20, 30) may be capable of rotation relative to the casing part (40), In any event, the blades (20, 30) can usefully be made removable from the casing part (40) to facilitate cleaning.

Abstract: A scan of a separating sample is received by a mass spectrometer at each interval of a plurality of intervals. The spectrometer performs at each interval one or more mass spectrometry scans. The scans have one or more sequential mass window widths in order to span an entire mass range at each interval and produce a collection of spectra for the entire mass range for the plurality of intervals. One or more peaks at one or more different intervals in the collection of spectra are identified for a fragment ion. A mass spectrum of the entire mass range is retrieved for each interval of each peak. Values for one or more ion characteristics of a mass-to-charge ratio peak in the mass spectrum corresponding to each peak are compared to one or more known values for the fragment ion.

Abstract: The invention utilizes temperature sensing to measure the internal temperature of an underground structure, such as a pipe, for the purpose of determining a proper cure interval and/or mix ratio of a resin system during a lining operation. A temperature sensor is placed within a pipe or other underground structure to be rehabilitated and at least one temperature measurement is taken within the structure prior to or simultaneously with the installation of a liner. Once the temperature of an internal aspect of the structure is taken, a cure schedule is utilized to determine the appropriate curing time based on test data obtained from baseline tests performed under simulated conditions in a soil cell apparatus. A computer program may be utilized such that upon entering the type of resin, the lowest recorded temperature of the structure, and the initial resin temperature, a cure schedule is supplied.
