A general purpose program implemented on a computer analyzes steady state and transient flow in a complex fluid network, modeling phase changes, compressibility, mixture thermodynamics and external body forces such as gravity and centrifugal force. A preprocessor provides for the interactive development of a fluid network simulation having nodes and branches. Mass, energy, and specie conservation equations are solved at the nodes, and momentum conservation equations are solved in the branches. Contained herein are subroutines for computing "real fluid" thermodynamic and thermophysical properties for 12 fluids, and a number of different source options are provided for modeling momentum sources or sinks in the branches. The system of equations describing the fluid network is solved by a hybrid numerical method that is a combination of the Newton-Raphson and successive substitution methods. Application and verification of this invention are provided through an example problem, which demonstrates that the predictions of the present invention compare most reasonably with test data.

Measurement of blood pressure is one of the most common procedures done in a clinical and an ambulatory environment. It is usually done with a sphygmomanometer, where an inflatable cuff is attached to the arm of a patient and the systolic and diastolic pressures are determined, typically by listening to the Korotkoff sounds. Although this method is over 100 years old and widely used, it is well known that it has severe shortcomings.

The present invention covers a novel device and method to continuously measure blood pressure using a noninvasive approach. A surface acoustic wave (SAW) pressure sensor is placed on a flexible substrate and placed on the wrist of a patient. This blood pressure sensing device communicates wirelessly with a monitor that is placed several meters away. The monitor can also be a wristwatch worn by the patient. The invention further encompasses a calibration procedure to convert the relative blood pressure values into absolute values.

The main application for this novel device and method is in an intensive care environment where continuous monitoring of blood pressure on critically ill patients is important. Since the proposed method is inexpensive it can also be used by patients at home or even by healthy people (e.g. athletes). The reader system consists of an antenna and a standard computer (e.g. laptop) with signal processing software.

Disclosed is a 7xxx-series aluminum alloy sheet having a specific chemical composition and produced by a common procedure. The aluminum alloy sheet has a good balance between a Zn content and a Mg content while having a lower Zn content so as to have a strength retained at high level. The aluminum alloy sheet has a microstructure having a specific endothermic peak temperature and a specific maximum height of exothermic peak(s) in a differential scanning calorimetric curve, where the curve is plotted after natural aging of the produced sheet. The aluminum alloy sheet can thereby have a high strength, satisfactory formability, and good corrosion resistance which are required for structural components.

The method includes in placing an instruction presence parameter in the “argument” field of a binary word defining a read/write command generated by generic management programs (drivers) for removable data storage units. This makes it possible to circumvent the limitation of the set of the commands authorized by a generic program for managing a removable data storage unit, without running the risk of data being interpreted wrongly as instructions.

A 7xxx-series aluminum alloy sheet produced by a common procedure is allowed to include a surface part having a texture with grown Cube orientation, and a central part having a texture with grown S orientation. Namely, the surface part and the thickness-central part in the sheet are allowed to have different textures that are optimal respectively for shock absorption and for strength. This allows the aluminum alloy sheet to have better shock absorption upon automobile collision without lowering its strength, where the shock absorption is evaluated by a VDA bend test as illustrated in FIG. 1.

The invention discloses a method for intelligently shortening the closing time of an elevator, which comprises the following steps of: installing a camera in the elevator, and transmitting the information of passengers entering an elevator cabin and floors pressed by the passengers to a computer controller; calibrating the passengers by the computer controller, correlating with the floor pressed by the passenger, and calibrating other passengers and correlating with the floors pressed by the passengers in this way; when the elevator moves to the floor required by the passenger, analyzing and judging by the computer controller that the computer controller does not wait and sends a command to close the elevator door so as to save waiting time after the passenger correlated with the floor walks out of the elevator; if passengers still walk out of the elevator, executing according to normal common procedures; and if the passenger correlated with the floor does not walk out or someone presses the closing button, then closing the door after the waiting time set in the elevator. Results show that the elevator closing procedure of the method not only is safe, but also is more humanized, can also shorten the closing time of the elevator and has popularization and use values.

Disclosed is a 7xxx-series aluminum alloy sheet that has a specific chemical composition and is produced by a common procedure. The sheet maintains high strength via a good balance between Zn and Mg, while the Zn content is controlled. The average compositional ratio of Zn to Mg in grain-boundary precipitates is controlled in the sheet that is naturally aged after production; and the average compositional ratio of Zn to Mg in intragranular precipitates is controlled in the sheet that is further artificially aged after the natural aging. Thus, the aluminum alloy sheet is allowed to have formability, corrosion resistance, and such high strength as to be demanded of structural components.

The present invention is a simple-to-use IV placement assist device with a base, finger interfaces extending from the base, and mechanical means to engage a needle hub. A catheter advancer is slidably integrated with the base to guide advancement of a catheter linearly along the insertion plane defined by the orientation of the base. In addition, a stabilizer component comprising a traction pad and means of constraining unintended movements of the needle and catheter, which is placed on the patient's skin, may be used along with the base and catheter advancer. The IV placement assist device stabilizes and guides the critical needle insertion and catheter advancement steps of a complication-prone and very common procedure.

A method to make a common procedure adaptable to reconstruction planes whose positions relative to a multi-channel detector are different from one another. A reference procedure required for construction of a CT image based on reference linear data representing one line or a plurality of lines formed on a reference reconstruction plane is preserved. Real data associated with a first reconstruction plane different from the reference reconstruction plane is used to produce virtual reference linear data equivalent to the reference linear data. A CT image is reconstructed based on the virtual reference linear data using the reference procedure.
