Heart failure patient treatment and management device

A device and method to detect and manage heart failure patient symptoms is provided. Respiration and / or cardiac parameters may be sensed or observed to determine the status of a patient's condition. These symptoms may be classified for appropriate patient disease management. A patient's activity level may be monitored in conjunction with respiration and / or cardiac parameters to provide additional patient status information. These symptoms may be classified for appropriate patient disease management. Pulmonary edema is one condition that may be determined to exist when a respiration parameter is out of range for a given sensed activity level. If edema is determined to be present, the device may be configured to respond to treat the edema.

Low-energy extractive distillation process for dehydration of aqueous ethanol

An energy-efficient extractive distillation process for producing anhydrous ethanol from aqueous / ethanol feeds containing any range of ethanol employs an extractive distillation column (EDC) that operates under no or greatly reduced liquid reflux conditions. The EDC can be incorporated into an integrated process for producing anhydrous ethanol used for gasoline blending from fermentation broth. By using a high-boiling extractive distillation solvent, no solvent is entrained by the vapor phase to the EDC overhead stream, even under no liquid reflux conditions. The energy requirement and severity of the EDC can be further improved by limiting ethanol recovery in the EDC. In this partial ethanol recovery design, ethanol which remains in the aqueous stream from the EDC is recovered in a post-distillation column or the aqueous stream is recycled to a front-end pre-distillation column where the ethanol is readily recovered since the VLE curve for ethanol / water is extremely favorable for distillation.

Network failure detection method and network failure detection system

A system provides definitions of network states, and identifies a cause for the anomaly upon detection. A traffic measuring portion (characteristic quantity generating portion) counts the number of packets / time slot classified by traffic type with respect to network traffic, generating a characteristic quantity; a memory portion stores information about the characteristic quantity; a portion calculates correlation coefficients between each pair of characteristic quantities classified by traffic type; a portion generates a histogram from correlation coefficients; a portion for determining the severity of an anomaly based on the histogram; a portion evaluates the similarity of an anomaly of interest to a reference anomaly using the occurrence probabilities of correlation coefficients; and a portion assigns a color to each pixel according to its occurrence probability value, generating an n×n picture. Visualization of network state is achieved using probability distribution vectors derived from correlation coefficients obtained from each characteristic quantities pair.

System and method for treating chronic pain

In a method and system for treating pain or impairment a video imaging device obtains image frames of a continuous portion of the patient's body including a selected impaired member in proper spatial relationship to a facial image of the patient. A processor coupled to the imaging device processes the image frames to form composite image frames in substantially real time wherein the impaired member is replaced by a virtual image of a corresponding healthy member so as to depict the imaged portion of the patient's body performing healthy movement of the selected impaired member. An interface is coupled to the processor for controlling virtual movement of the impaired limb in the composite image frames, and a display screen is coupled to the processor for displaying at least some of the composite image frames in substantially real time synchronism with operation of the interface.

Gasoline production by olefin polymerization

A process unit for the zeolite-catalyzed conversion of light refinery olefins from an FCC unit such as ethylene, propylene, and butylene to gasoline boiling range motor fuels comprises at least two sequential, serially connected reactors connected in parallel to a fractionation section with at one or two fractionators for separating the reactor effluents into product fraction with an optional recycle stream or streams. The configurations according to this scheme allow the adjustment of reactor temperature and / or pressure and / or space velocity to be based on the reactivities of the olefin compounds present in the LPG streams so that the gasoline produced in each reactor will be separated immediately, to reduce over-polymerization of the gasoline in the low severity reactor and to ensure that gasoline formed in the low severity reactor will not be sent to the higher severity reactor e.g. with a higher reactor temperature, where excessive polymerization to undesirable higher molecular with products may take place.

The invention provides application of optineurin protein in preparing acute hepatic damage diagnosis and treatment products. Experiments prove that the OPTN (optineurin) protein is increased in protein in acute hepatic damage tissues and relieves polarization of macrophages through autophagy to release acute hepatic damage, and accordingly acute hepatic damage can be relieved by expressing the OPTN protein or applying bavachinin. Therefore, the OPTN protein can serve as a specific marker protein for diagnosis and drug therapy of acute hepatic damage, and through the agonist of the bavachinin and overexpression viruses, effectively treats acute hepatic damage to achieve more accurate and quicker diagnosis and treatment of acute hepatic damage. The optineurin protein provides a new therapeutic target and an effective new drug for treating acute hepatic damage.
