Abstract: In a regression modeling system, activation scale values over a plurality of survey participants is used to generate a regression to identify a predictive model that can have a direct explanatory relationship to healthcare utilization and cost. The survey can comprise a number of declarative statements and the responses can be an indication of a participant's level of agreement. The activation scale value for a given individual is thus a predictive dependent variable that can be changed with a known effect on outcomes (independent variables). For example, healthcare utilization and costs will decline as an activation scale value goes up.

Patent CA-2961183-A1 (CA)
Title: Mass spectrometer
Inventor: ASANO NATSUYO
IPC: G01N27/62
Filed: 2014-09-17
Abstract: The settling time of the output voltage of a high voltage power supply (20) for applying a high voltage to a nozzle of an ESI probe (5) becomes longer when voltage is switched to a falling direction within the same polarity. To address this problem, in a mass spectrometer according to the present invention, when it is necessary to carry out MRM measurement for a plurality of MRM transitions during a single cycle, a measurement order rearrangement unit (34) rearranges a measurement order and determines an analysis sequence so that the absolute value of the optimal applied voltage (applied voltage having the best ionization efficiency) for the nozzle of the ESI probe (5) increases from the smallest value. An analysis control unit (31) controls the high voltage power supply (20) and other parts according to the determined analysis sequence and carries out analysis. Because the voltage applied to the nozzle is not switched so as to fall within the same polarity during a single cycle, the cycle time is shortened compared to that of conventional devices, and it is possible to increase the number of data points per unit time and enhance mass chromatogram peak shape accuracy.

Patent CA-2968119-A1 (CA)
Title: Apparatus for preparing medical radioisotopes
Inventor: WOLOSHUN KEITH A
IPC: G21K5/08
Filed: 2015-11-17
Abstract: Apparatus for radioisotope production includes housing, a plurality of target disks inside the housing and a curved windows positioned convex inward toward the disks. During operation, coolant flows though the housing across the disks and windows while electron beams passes through the window and the disks. The window temperature increases, rising the fastest in the middle of the window where the electron beam hits the window. A flat window would buckle because the center would deform during thermal expansion against the relatively unaffected periphery, but the curved window shape allows the window to endure high thermal and mechanical stress created by a combination of heating from the electron beam(s) and elevated pressure from coolant on the inside of the window. Such a window may be used for applications in which a pressurized coolant acts on only one side of the window.

Title: Screw to be used in an extruder and extruder
Inventor: MEYER HELMUT
IPC: B29C48/51
Filed: 2017-09-13
Abstract: The invention refers to a screw to be used in an extruder and to an extruder having such a screw, in particular to a screw to be used in a multiple-screw extruder and to a multiple-screw extruder. In the state of the art, screws are often constructed of segments which are borne on a mandrel and axially braced with respect to one another. For being able to transmit the torque to the segments during use of the screw within the extruder cylinder, there are positively engaging connections between the mandrel and the segments. The present invention instead proposes to use an additional connecting element directly leading from one segment to the next in        order         to         relieve          the mandrel.

Filed: 2016-03-31
Abstract: Disclosed is a multiple blade wind turbine (MBWT). The MBWT includes: at least one rotor comprising two closed loop tracks positioned parallel or equidistant to one another and a plurality of airfoils interspaced within the tracks. The plurality of airfoils are connected at each end to one of said tracks and are fully rotatable with respect to said closed loop tracks. A transmission is connected to one of the tracks. The track drives the transmission and an electric generator is connected to said transmission for generating electricity. The rotors are oriented vertically or horizontally with respect to a vertical support structure that is used to support the rotors. The MBWT's design allows the electric generator(s) and transmission system to be housed relatively close to ground level. This configuration reduces the mass of the central support tower and reduces the construction and ongoing maintenance costs.
