20090281469 | COMPLIANCE STRAPPING - A compliance strapping includes a predetermined adjustability, tamper deterring and indicating strapping, adapted, in use, to form an encircling loop. The compliance strapping is passed around an object and for further security the strap can be threaded through lining material or through a wearable article or medical device. The free end of the elongate member is passed through the loop, which may be a D-loop sewn into the strapping, thus forming an encircling loop of strapping. The second end is brought around to close proximity with a region of the strapping which has been passed through the loop and the tamper indicating means fastened known as the self locking rivet to said region of the strapping. Thus the encircling loop cannot be broken because the region of the strapping with the self locking rivet fastened thereto cannot pass back through the D-loop. | 11-12-2009 |

20130119894 | Multiple DALI streams over single DALI interface on a wireless communication protocol personal area network - Present invention is a system for which multiple DALI streams could be addressed over one DALI interface on a single wireless communication protocol (e.g., ZigBee) personal area network (PAN). Allowing multiple DALI streams to be controlled over a single ZigBee PAN reduces complexity, costs, and allows for more efficient utilization of bandwidth greatly increasing effective DALI bandwidth supported by a single wireless gateway. This enables multiple physical DALI Controllers to be attached, and also allows DALI Controllers which are unable to support the special DALI stream selection command to communicate with multiple streams on a single ZigBee PAN. Due to the diverse nature of DALI Controllers and control devices, having an interoperable approach is critical. This system allows for a baseline set of capabilities with DALI devices that do not support the additional reserved DALI commands and a set of advanced capabilities for devices that do. | 05-16-2013 |

The controller-side wireless module communicates via a wireless communication protocol (e.g. Wi-Fi, Zigbee) to at least one device-side wireless module. Each device-side wireless module is connected to a DALI stream via a second two wire data bus to at least one DALI ballast (slave) which is connected to at least one lamp bank. Additional devices may be connected to the DALI stream. | 05-22-2014 |

20130178960 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REMOTE MONITORING OF EXERCISE PERFORMANCE METRICS - The present technology describes various embodiments of systems and methods for remote monitoring of exercise performance metrics. In several embodiments, for example, a method of evaluating an exercise performed by a patient includes providing the patient with a pre-recorded avatar showing an exemplary instance of a prescribed exercise. The method further includes sensing the patient's movement during an exercise session and generating a real-time avatar based on the sensing. The pre-recorded avatar can be overlaid with the real-time avatar. The graphic overlay readily shows the patient whether and where his motion and/or body position deviate from the prescribed exercise. The overlay can be made in real time. In several embodiments, the patient's independently-recorded avatar and/or performance metrics are transmitted to the exercise prescriber to monitor the fidelity with which the patient is able to reproduce the exercise outside the prescriber's supervision. | 07-11-2013 |

20130067449 | APPLICATION PACKAGES USING BLOCK MAPS - Deploying applications to a device often involves generating an application package for installing the application anew, and application patches for updating the application from a specific first version to a specific second version. Presented herein are alternative techniques for deploying the application to devices using a block map indicating hashcodes for respective blocks of respective resources of the application. A device may install the application by installing the application package, or may update a deployed application from an earlier version to a later version by retrieving the block map, identifying updated blocks having a different hashcode than the current hashcode of the block in the currently deployed application, and retrieving only the updated blocks. The block map also enables concurrent deployment of multiple application versions, and resource sharing among deployed versions and variants by sharing commonly used blocks and retaining alternatives of blocks differing between such versions and variants. | 03-14-2013 |

20090255465 | THERMAL CONTROL OF DEPOSITION IN DIP PEN NANOLITHOGRAPHY - The present invention describes an apparatus for nanolithography and a process for thermally controlling the deposition of a solid organic “ink” from the tip of an atomic force microscope to a substrate. The invention may be used to turn deposition of the ink to the substrate on or off by either raising its temperature above or lowing its temperature below the ink's melting temperature. This process may be useful as it allows ink deposition to be turned on and off and the deposition rate to change without the tip breaking contact with the substrate. The same tip can then be used for imaging purposes without fear of contamination. This invention can allow ink to be deposited in a vacuum enclosure, and can also allow for greater spatial resolution as the inks used have lower surface mobilities once cooled than those used in other nanolithography methods. | 10-15-2009 |

20150065339 | METAL OXIDE-ORGANIC HYBRID MATERIALS FOR HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THEREOF - Catalysts prepared from abundant, cost effective metals, such as cobalt, nickel, chromium, manganese, iron, and copper, and containing one or more neutrally charged ligands (e.g., monodentate, bidentate, and/or polydentate ligands) and methods of making and using thereof are described herein. Exemplary ligands include, but are not limited to, phosphine ligands, nitrogen-based ligands, sulfur-based ligands, and/or arsenic-based ligands. In some embodiments, the catalyst is a cobalt-based catalyst or a nickel-based catalyst. The catalysts described herein are stable and active at neutral pH and in a wide range of buffers that are both weak and strong proton acceptors. While its activity is slightly lower than state of the art cobalt-based water oxidation catalysts under some conditions, it is capable of sustaining electrolysis at high applied potentials without a significant degradation in catalytic current. This enhanced robustness gives it an advantage in industrial and large-scale water electrolysis schemes. | 03-05-2015 |
