Device-To-Device Charging Through The Display Screen With Seamless User Interface

Battery life for electronic devices is limited and users do not always have easy access to fixed or mobile power sources to recharge. The location of a power source may also limit the user’s ability to easily use their device. Users may start a task on an application on one device, but then want to switch to another device to continue the task as they change context. This disclosure describes technology that enables a first device to be placed on the display screen of a second device to charge the first device wirelessly. A wireless charging transmission coil is provided on the same side as the display screen of the second device. The second device senses that the first device has been placed and in response, content on the display screen of the second device is automatically mapped seamlessly to the first device or otherwise rearranged. The described techniques also enable touch input from the first device to be mapped to the second device

Assessment of Left Ventricular Doppler Derived Myocardial Performance Index in Diabetic patients with Albuminuria.

INTRODUCTION : India has highest percentage of diabetic population in the world. The complications of diabetes increases with the duration of diabetes and the level of glycemic control. Albuminuria is one of the early indicator of microangiopathy.Diabetic patients predicts the cardiovascular dysfunction when it is associated with micro Albuminuria. Albuminuria judge mainly diabetic kidney disease in people with type II Diabetes mellitus, and can also one of a critical judge of all-cause death, mainly from cardiac causes. The reason of the correlation of albumin uria with heart disease is in doubt, it is mainly due the coronary vascular and structural alteration (raise endothelial permeability, cholesterol accumulation , blood clot production) that causes kidney problems can be associated with in the heart structures and, thus, contribute to heart failure. Various critical Studies have shown there is link between micro Albuminuria and atherothrombotic disease but also other confounding factors needs to be ruled out. The presence of a unique feature called diabetics cardio myopathy may lead to increase in cardiac disease and death in diabetic population. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES : To assess the echo car idiographic index like IVS & posterior wall thickness, L.Ventricle functions, E wave flow velocity Decel eration time ;mitral inflow velocity ratio between E and A wave;fr actional shortening and LV ejection index ;time of LV emptying (ejection time) ;time during isovolumic contraction (IV C T); time during isovolumic relaxation (IV R T);thickness of IV S; left atrium dimension; left ventricle dimension during diastolic;L V MI(left ventricle mass and index); left ven tricle dimension during systolic ); thickness of posterior wall. To determine the cardiac function in diabetic patient with Albuminuria and those patient without Albuminuria without obvious previous heart disease using the TEI INDEX and to compare this index with other usual method which are used to assess the cardiac function. CONCLUSION : There is clear-cut positive correlation between the LEFT VENTRICULAR TEI INDEX and the degree Albuminuria in diabetics. LV TEI INDEX can be a useful marker in early detection of cardiac dysfunction in diabetic patients and helps to prognosticate the diabetic population. LV Tei index is an early parameter to observe the ventricular dysfunction before it can be detected by conventional echocardiography parameters. This index increases in stepwise pattern in diabetic population depending upon the duration of DM and diabetic complications

Skin changes in chronic lymphatic filariasis

Seventeen men and 31 women with unilateral lower limb lymphoedema attributed to chronic lymphatic filariasis were examined in the filarial out-patient clinic of the Government General Hospital, Madras, India. Skin changes such as skin fold thickening, hyperkeratosis, hypo-or hypertrichosis, pachydermia, pigmentary changes, chronic ulceration, epidermal and sub-epidermal nodules, and clinical intertrigo were observed and compared between the different lymphoedema grades. These lesions are not specific to chronic lymphatic filariasis, and have been described in other conditions displaying lymphostasis. They are thought to be favoured by secondary infections, which should be dealt with appropriately to prevent the progression of the disease and the onset of elephantiasi

Highly Sensitive C - Reactive Protein in the Patients with Unstable Angina and Its Prognostic Implications

SUMMARY: hs_CRP estimation was done for 75 patients of Unstable Angina admitted in the medical ward of Institute Of Internal Medicine ,Madras Medical College Hospital following observation was made. • hs_CRP level in unstable Angina patients strongly correlates with number, duration and severity of Anginal episodes. • hs-CRP level strongly correlates with development of other complications such as development of heart failure, arrhythmias, left ventricular dysfunction. • hs_CRP level is increased in smoker, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, family history, post meno pausal women comparing to those without these risk factors. • hs_CRP level also increasing with advancing age. • hs_CRP level progressively increased in patients from IB to IIIB in Braunwald classification. CONCLUSION: Our understanding of atherosclerosis has evolved beyond the view that these lesions consist of a lifeless collection of lipid debris. Current evidence supports a central role for inflammation in all phases of the atherosclerotic process. Substantial biological data implicate inflammatory pathways in early atherogenesis, in the progression of lesions, and finally in the thrombotic complications of this disease. Clinical studies affirm correlation of hs_CRP is the novel and evolving biomarker of inflammation with propensity to develop ischemic events and with prognosis after ACS. Intralesional or extralesional inflammation may hasten atheroma evolution and precipitate acute events. Hs_CRP elicited by inflammation may not only mark increased risk for vascular events, but in some cases may contribute to their pathogenesis. This new insight into the role of inflammation in the pathobiology of atherosclerosis has initiated important new areas of direct clinical relevance. We can use hs_CRP today for risk stratification. Based on various studies, increased hs_CRP levels inpatients with high risk cardiovascular disease without documented CAD warrant treatment with statin even if LDL-C levels are within target range. Patients with documented CAD and high hs-hs_CRP levels should be followed, and there risk factors should be managed aggressively. Finally, the quest to identify proximal stimuli for inflammation, as one pathogenic process in atherogenesis or trigger to lesion complication, may yield novel therapeutic targets in years to come

Resource scheduling in edge computing IoT networks using hybrid deep learning algorithm

The proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless sensor networks enhances data communication. The demand for data communication rapidly increases, which calls the emerging edge computing paradigm. Edge computing plays a major role in IoT networks and provides computing resources close to the users. Moving the services from the cloud to users increases the communication, storage, and network features of the users. However, massive IoT networks require a large spectrum of resources for their computations. In order to attain this, resource scheduling algorithms are employed in edge computing. Statistical and machine learning-based resource scheduling algorithms have evolved in the past decade, but the performance can be improved if resource requirements are analyzed further. A deep learning-based resource scheduling in edge computing IoT networks is presented in this research work using deep bidirectional recurrent neural network (BRNN) and convolutional neural network algorithms. Before scheduling, the IoT users are categorized into clusters using a spectral clustering algorithm. The proposed model simulation analysis verifies the performance in terms of delay, response time, execution time, and resource utilization. Existing resource scheduling algorithms like a genetic algorithm (GA), Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO), and LSTM-based models are compared with the proposed model to validate the superior performances.Поширення Інтернету речей (IoT) і бездротових сенсорних мереж покращує передачу даних. Попит на передачу даних швидко зростає, що ви- кликає появу парадигми периферійних обчислень. Граничні обчислення віді- грають важливу роль у мережах IoT і надають обчислювальні ресурси поблизу користувачів. Перенесення служб із хмари до користувачів розширює комуні- каційні, сховища та мережеві функції користувачів. Однак масивні мережі IoT потребують великого обсягу ресурсів для своїх обчислень. Щоб досягти цього, у граничних обчисленнях використовуються алгоритми планування ресурсів. Алгоритми планування ресурсів, засновані на статистиці та машинному на- вчанні, розвинулися протягом останнього десятиліття, але їх продуктивність можна покращити, якщо додатково проаналізувати вимоги до ресурсів. У ро- боті подано глибоке планування ресурсів на основі навчання в периферійних обчислювальних мережах IoT з використанням глибокої двонаправленої реку- рентної нейронної мережі (BRNN) і алгоритмів згорткової нейронної мережі. Перед плануванням користувачі IoT класифікуються в різні кластери за допо- могою спектрального алгоритму кластеризації. Пропонований аналіз моделю- вання перевіряє продуктивність з точки зору затримки, часу відгуку, часу ви- конання та використання ресурсів. Існуючі алгоритми планування ресурсів, як- от генетичний алгоритм (GA), покращена оптимізація роїв частинок (IPSO) і моделі на основі LSTM, порівнюються із запропонованою моделлю для під- твердження кращої продуктивності

Hydrogeological delineation of groundwater vulnerability to droughts in semi-arid areas of western Ahmednagar district

Groundwater, a renewable and finite natural resource, is a vital source of sustenance for humans and dif-ferent ecosystems in the semi-arid regions. Rapid population growth in the last three decades has causeda rise in water demand which has inadvertently posed a stress on its availability. Occurrence of ground-water in the Deccan Volcanic Province is governed by the subsurface hydrogeological heterogeneity ofbasaltic lava flows and by the presence of geological structures like dykes, sills and fractures that influ-ence spatial & vertical groundwater flow. The main objective of this paper is to map and assess areas thatare naturally most susceptible to groundwater scarcity and at risk of depletion due to over extraction. Thecurrent study involves a field hydrogeological mapping that was integrated with remote sensing and GISto delineate areas. This technique was based on using different thematic layers viz. lithology, slope, land-use and land cover, lineament, drainage, soil type, depth to groundwater and annual rainfall. Additionally,pumping tests were carried out to classify the study area into different hydrogeological typologies to helpdelineate communities that are most vulnerable to subsurface heterogeneity. This paper attempts tounderline the groundwater scarcity zones based on different influencing thematic layers and provide arobust methodology to prioritize areas vulnerable to groundwater unavailability, by categorizing the study area into different vulnerable class types - extreme, high, moderate and low

Long-term persistence of cellular hyporesponsiveness to filarial antigens after clearance microfilaraemia

The persistence of parasite-specific cellular hyporesponsiveness after clearance of blood microfilariae (mf) was studied in 18 individuals who had been treated with a single dose of ivermectin, diethylcarbamazine, or a combination 2-3 years previously and who had initially cleared their parasitemia. At recruitment into the present study, 50% were again mf+ and 50% remained mf-. There were no significant differences between the mf+ and mf- groups in the amount of interferon- g (IFN- g) produced by peripheral blood mononuclear cells in response to adult or microfilarial antigens, although IFN- g production in response to purified protein derivative was greater in the mf+ group (geometric mean [gm] = 3,791 pg/ml; P = 0.02) than in the mf- group (gm = 600 pg/ml). These data suggest that although microfilaremic individuals may temporarily regain the ability to produce IFN- g to parasite antigens post-treatment, they subsequently revert to a state of hyporesponsiveness to mf-containing antigens that appears to be independent of the recurrence of microfilaremia and the response to nonparasite antigens
