Determining a Valid Resource String for a Resource

Techniques for determining a valid resource string for a resource are described. According to one or more implementations, a particular resource string for accessing a particular resource may be determined to be not valid at a current location of a client device. Accordingly, the particular resource string can be mapped to an active string profile for the client device, and a valid resource string for accessing the resource at the current location can be determined from the active string profile. The valid resource string can be used to initiate communication with an instance of the particular resource.

Method of surface hardening orthopedic implant devices

A method of surface hardening titanium orthopedic implant devices, and a titanium orthopedic implant device prepared by the disclosed method. An orthopedic implant device made of pure titanium or a titanium alloy, such as Ti-6Al-4V (ELI) is exposed to molecular nitrogen gas at a process temperature and for a process time duration sufficient to enhance surface hardness and wear resistance properties, without the formation of a measurable TiN layer that tends to increase surface roughness and diminish wear resistance properties. The process temperature is in the range of 750° F. to 1300° F., preferably about 1100° F. and the process time duration at the preferred process temperature is approximately 8 hours. The hardened surface of the titanium implant occurs primarily due to solid solution hardening of the titanium with nitrogen by dissolution.

Wound measurment device and method for its use

Device and related method for determining the surface area of a wound. The device includes a transparent sheet having a series of perforations defining first and second sections of the sheet which allow the first and second sections to be separated from one another along the perforations. The transparent sheet is folded along the perforations so that the two sections overlap each other, and the sections are substantially free of adhesive material. The second section includes indicia thereon which allow a user to determine the surface area of a wound after the outline of the wound or opening is traced thereon. Upon use, the device is placed over the wound or opening, with the first section toward the wound or opening, and the outline of the wound or opening is traced onto the second section. The second section containing the marked outline of the wound, which was isolated or shielded from contact with the wound, is then separated from the first section along the perforations, allowing the second section to be immediately handled by a person, i.e., without subjecting the second section to cleaning or sterilization.

Cryptography using varying sized symbol sets

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for cryptography using different sized symbol sets. To protect against a brute force or other similar type of attack, multiple symbol sets having different sizes can be used for encrypting/decrypting data. For example, different portions of the data (e.g., data blocks representing multiple symbols, set of bits representing a single symbol) may be encrypted/decrypted using different symbol sets that include different numbers of unique symbols. Using different sized symbol sets adds additional complexity to the encryption process, thereby greatly increasing the difficulty in decrypting the encrypted data with a brute force attack.

The decoded signal is then subtracted from the combined signal. The strongest signal of that combined signal is then decoded and then subtracted and so on until all signals are decoded.

Provided herein are methods for making foam materials and foam material products having a polyurethane foam matrix defining a plurality of pores, a hydrophilic agent retained within at least a portion of the pores for improving an absorption of the foam material, a salt retained within at least a portion of the pores in an amount sufficient to render the foam material isotonic, a surfactant retained within at least a portion of the pores in an amount sufficient to be released upon contact with a moist surface. Also provided herein are methods for making a multilayer foam by casting a second foam layer on a first foam layer substrate and compressing the second foam layer before the second layer is fully cured to form an interface layer in situ.

Method and apparatus for configuring and maintaining a beverage dispenser

A method and apparatus for configuring and maintaining a beverage dispenser ( 10 ) are provided in which an array of flow control icons ( 60 ) is presented on the same page as functional sections ( 62 - 68 ). The functional sections ( 62 - 68 ) allow assignment of a beverage component to a flow control element corresponding to a selected flow control icon, and other functions to be performed in connection with the assigned beverage component or flow control element.

Compact air purifier

An air purifier with a tub capable of containing a liquid. Reactor plates are in the tub wherein the reactor plates provide a curvilinear path for air flow with abrupt directional change. A pump is situated to distribute the liquid onto the reactor plates to form a moist surface. An air inlet brings contaminated air into contact with biocatalyst on the moist surface thereby forming purified air. An air outlet discharges said purified air from the air purifier.
