Embodiments of the invention provide a method and apparatus for a wireless health monitoring system for interactively monitoring a disease or health condition of a patient by connecting a mobile phone to or with a digital camera and / or a medical monitoring device. The health related data or visual information from the camera is transmitted to a server using standard internet protocols and may be integrated with various operating systems for handheld or wireless devices, especially those with enhanced capabilities for handing images and visual data.

An aspect of the present invention relates to a magnetic tape comprising a magnetic layer comprising ferromagnetic powder and binder on a nonmagnetic support, wherein ΔSFD in a longitudinal direction of the magnetic tape as calculated with Equation 1 ranges from 0.35 to 1.50:ΔSFD=SFD25° C.−SFD−190° C.  Equation 1wherein, in Equation 1, SFD25° C. denotes a switching field distribution SFD as measured in the longitudinal direction of the magnetic tape in an environment with a temperature of 25° C., and SFD−190° C. denotes a switching field distribution SFD as measured in the longitudinal direction of the magnetic tape in an environment with a temperature of −190° C.

An inline degassing apparatus for removing solid solution gases as well as nonmetallic inclusions from molten metal in a degassing container, to which the molten metal is continuously introduced for degassing operation and from which the degassed molten metal is continuously removed. A rotary diffusing device is arranged in the degassing container for generating bubbles of inert gas diffused into the molten metal, thereby entrapping solid solution gases as well as nonmetallic inclusions into the bubbles, which are then floated and separated. Heaters are provided, which extend, in a cantilever fashion, from a side wall of container at a position adjacent the bottom wall of the container substantially parallel to the bottom wall.

The present invention provides compounds that inhibit Factor XIa and methods of preventing or treating undesired thrombosis by administering a compound of the invention to a mammal. The invention also provides three-dimensional structures of Factor XIa and methods for designing or selecting additional Factor XIa inhibitors using these structures.

The present invention provides compositions blended in hair treating agents which can prepare a hair conditioner, a coloring agent, a waving agent, a finishing agent, a feeling improving agent, a perfume dispersing agent, a refreshner or a thickning agent easily and by lower price, further provides a hair treating agent which is excellent in hair treating feature, such as moist feel, slippery feel, wetting feeling, smooth feel, soft feel, slightly oily feel, rustle feeling, luster, supple, no stickiness, smooth combing, setting ability by containing alcohols.

The present invention relates to a footwear system that is comprised of a pair of footwear with at least one transparent, semi-transparent or translucent special display area(s) (SDA) and system of innerliners. The system of innerliners can be comprised of either at least two user interchangeable pairs of innerliners or a single pair of innerliners that can provide multiple combined appearances from the footwear, when the innerliners are switched from one foot to the other, reversed or rotated on the foot. The innerliners are specifically designed and engineered to be displayed through the footwear, and the footwear is specifically designed and engineered to display the innerliners providing an emanating effect. The present invention provides a large number of user desirable combinations of footwear with SDA and innerliners that can be created by using a footwear system comprised of footwear with at least one SDA and a system of specifically designed innerliners. Users can create multiple combined appearances from a single pair of footwear by simply changing or modifying their innerliners.

A breathing mask for breathing support devices (10) to guide the breathing support gas to the patient. The mask includes a mask body including a material that is permeable to air at least in partial areas. A gas guiding structure is provided which can be connected to suction openings of the breathing support device (10). The gas guiding structure extends through the interior of the mask body. The gas guiding structure for the transport / delivery of gas is limited partially by air-permeable areas of the wall of the mask body, through which ambient air can be drawn in. The mask is characterized by high wear comfort and improved safety against accidental coverage of the suction areas.

The present invention provides for an improved combination sensor tip that includes a pressure sensor and a second sensor other than a pressure sensor, both disposed at or in close proximity to the distal end of the combination sensor tip. The present invention also provides for an improved connector to couple a guide wire to a physiology monitor that reduces torsional resistance when maneuvering the guide wire.
