NOTE: This system is best accessed for the first time through hard-wired connection. If you encounter problems, clear your cache and try again.
Post a resumé. Although you can access summer/seasonal, internship, and full-time opportunities after simply registering on CC, employers tell us that it is frustrating when a student/alumnus does not include a resumé. They want detailed information about your qualifications and most likely will not contact individuals who do not provide it. We highly recommend that you take time to post your resumé if you want to be seriously considered by employers.
Prior to posting your resume, send it to email@example.com for a review by our resume review team or schedule an appointment to have it reviewed in person or virtually by calling 814-393-2323. Uploaded resumes that have not been reviewed by the career development center may take an additional 3-5 business days to process. If your resume requires many changes, it may delay approval.
When you update your resumé, be sure to upload the new resumé to your online account.
Update your account profiles at the end of each semester.
Update your "anticipated" college graduate date on your account profile. Employers often search for candidates by Graduate Date. If you do not list your anticipated college graduation date, you may miss out on opportunities.

salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (1.2 ounce) package

I have to admit, I was skeptical with the flavor of the three dry mixes called for, but this was the best tasting roast I've ever had! Used "herb gravy mix for beef" which was the only one I could find and it was delicious. Had a lot leftover so I made wide noodles the next day and we had a yummy version of beef stroganoff. Definitely a keeper!
Am I the only person who thought this was unbearably salty? I wanted to love this, it was so simple and seemed like a great idea. The meat was great, but the veggies and especially the gravy were so salty I could barely eat it. It made so much gravy, normally I'd be dancing with joy but I had to throw it out. I felt my blood pressure rising with every bite.

I've always thought that slower cooker dishes lack flavor. I put in flavorful ingredients, but the slow cooking process seems to homongenize everything and the liquid thins out the flavor. That did not happen with this recipe. The gravy was thick and rich and highly seasoned. I was very hesitant to use all those mixes, but I had them in the pantry (some for quite awhile) and I needed to use them up or throw them away. My husband had two helpings and proclaimed it "Good stuff!" Thank you so much for the post, keylimeone, this was great!
Loved this recipe! I went exactly by the recipe and this is the best pot roast ever. Very flavorful, just the right amount of seasoning. The gravy is rich and brown. The only change I would make next time is to add 3/4 cup of water instead. I like my gravy a tad thinner. I also added cubed potatoes.
I wish I could give this more stars. Made this tonight and it was absolutely amazing. My wife actually licked her plate. I was skeptical as others about the seasoning combinations but it was without a doubt top notch. The only addition I made was a little red cooking wine over the onions in the bottom and I sprinkled the roast with worcestershire sauce before putting the carrots and potatoes on top of the roast. I also used a much bigger roast. The roast I used was around 5 lbs. This recipe is on top of my list. Wife is still ranting about the roast and is upset it's better and easier then hers. Thanks for the recipe.
I have been making this for years, but I do not use the flour or the water. Put the roast in the crock, add your potatoes or carrots (small red potatoes cut in half absorb the juices and are oh so yummy), sprinkle and in 10-12 hours a roast that tastes like it has been in the oven.
I decided to make this pot roast recipe based on the rave reviews. I have tried a couple others from the site in my crock pot, but none were as easy and delicious as this one! The ingredients were incredibly simple and inexpensive, and it took only about 10 minutes total to prepare. I was leary about the lack of liquid in with the roast, but the water from the carrots and onions mixed with the beef and seasoning to make a delicious broth! Tonight my boyfriend and I are making roast beef sandwiches from the left overs, and I couldn't be more excited! I found my new pot roast recipe and would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a cheap, easy and delicious dinner!
Great recipe and the meat was so tender that it practically melts in your mouth!
The first time I cooked it according to directions, the meat was too salty. So I made it again and made the following changes and it was a hit (and better too):
1. I only marinated the meat with black pepper. The dry seasonings have enough sodium already.
2. I couldn't find ranch dressing mix, so I used ranch dip mix instead.
3. I mixed the dry ingredients with hot water so that they'll melt faster and added some minced garlic too. Then let it sit for about 10 minutes before putting it into the slow cooker.
Next time I'm going to put some jalapenos in there to make it spicy.
***Follow-up on my original review:
I made couple of other changes and the dish turned out even better -
1. Mixed the dried ingredients with 1 cup of water.
2. Added crushed red peppers onto the dry ingredients according to how spicy I want it to be.
3. Marinated the meat with crushed peppercorns.
4. I scooped some of the sauce from the side with a ladle and poured it all over the top of the meat 2 & 1/2 hours before it was done, so that the top of the meat would not get too dry.
5. I served it with rice the first couple of times, but served it with spaghetti because this time (I only cooked them according to the package's directions, no salt added into the pasta water), poured some sauce over the noodles and then the meat on top. The sauce complemented the noodles really well.

Christian Horner has revealed that Sebastian Vettel has not attempted to have a say in who will be his new Red Bull Racing team-mate in 2014...
Christian Horner has revealed that Sebastian Vettel has not attempted to have a say in who will be his new Red Bull Racing team-mate in 2014.
Red Bull will bid farewell to Mark Webber at the end of this season and the race is on to see who will replace the Australian driver.
The early favourites to take the seat are Daniel Ricciardo and Kimi Raikkonen while in recent weeks Fernando Alonso has allegedly joined the running.
Alonso, though, is not believed to be a serious contender leaving it to Ricciardo and Raikkonen to battle it out.
As for which of the two Vettel would prefer to have as a team-mate, Horner reckons his reigning World Champion isn't particularly fazed.
"I don't think he minds to be honest," the Red Bull team boss told Press Association.
"I don't think Sebastian has any concerns about going up against any driver, and he hasn't voiced a preference either way. He knows Kimi, he knows Daniel.
"Both are very quick drivers and would represent a challenge for him, but he has not looked to influence the team in any way as to which way we should be looking."
However, should Red Bull opt for Raikkonen, it would put two number one drivers under the same stable. Horner, though, says that wouldn't be a problem.
"Both drivers get the same opportunity," he insisted.
"It's down to what they do on the track that determines who is the lead driver or not, and the lead driver at any given time is the one who has the most points."
The decision is expected to be mulled over during the summer break with Horner adamant that at the end of it Red Bull will have a line-up of two fast and strong drivers.
"Daniel is at the beginning of his career, but he has the speed, and the rest you won't know until you put him in that situation.
"But we've a reasonable amount of information to make a decision.
"We obviously want the two fastest and strongest drivers we can put in the car for next year, and both Daniel and Kimi would represent extremely good options."

This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/199,345 filed Aug. 8, 2005, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to medical devices and, more particularly, to sensors used for sensing physiological parameters of a patient.
2. Description of the Related Art
This section is intended to introduce the reader to various aspects of art that may be related to various aspects of the present invention, which are described and/or claimed below. This discussion is believed to be helpful in providing the reader with background information to facilitate a better understanding of the various aspects of the present invention. Accordingly, it should be understood that these statements are to be read in this light, and not as admissions of prior art.
In the field of medicine, doctors often desire to monitor certain physiological characteristics of their patients. Accordingly, a wide variety of devices have been developed for monitoring physiological characteristics. Such devices provide doctors and other healthcare personnel with the information they need to provide the best possible healthcare for their patients. As a result, such monitoring devices have become an indispensable part of modem medicine.
One technique for monitoring certain physiological characteristics of a patient is commonly referred to as pulse oximetry, and the devices built based upon pulse oximetry techniques are commonly referred to as pulse oximeters. Pulse oximetry may be used to measure various blood flow characteristics, such as the blood-oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in arterial blood, the volume of individual blood pulsations supplying the tissue, and/or the rate of blood pulsations corresponding to each heartbeat of a patient.
Pulse oximeters typically utilize a non-invasive sensor that is placed on or against a patient's tissue that is well perfused with blood, such as a patient's finger, toe, forehead or earlobe. The pulse oximeter sensor emits light and photoelectrically senses the absorption and/or scattering of the light after passage through the perfused tissue. The data collected by the sensor may then be used to calculate one or more of the above physiological characteristics based upon the absorption or scattering of the light. More specifically, the emitted light is typically selected to be of one or more wavelengths that are absorbed or scattered in an amount related to the presence of oxygenated versus de-oxygenated hemoglobin in the blood. The amount of light absorbed and/or scattered may then be used to estimate the amount of the oxygen in the tissue using various algorithms.
In many instances, it may be desirable to employ, for cost and/or convenience, a pulse oximeter sensor that is reusable. Such reusable sensors, however, may be uncomfortable for the patient for various reasons. For example, the materials used in their construction may not be adequately compliant or supple or the structural features may include angles or edges.
Furthermore, the reusable sensor should fit snugly enough that incidental patient motion will not dislodge or move the sensor, yet not so tight that it may interfere with pulse oximetry measurements. Such a conforming fit may be difficult to achieve over a range of patient physiologies without adjustment or excessive attention on the part of medical personnel. In addition, lack of a tight or secure fit may allow light from the environment to reach the photodetecting elements of the sensor. Such environmental light is not related to a physiological characteristic of the patient and may, therefore, introduce error into the measurements derived using data obtained with the sensor.
Reusable pulse oximeter sensors are also used repeatedly and, typically, on more than one patient. Therefore, over the life of the sensor, detritus and other bio-debris (sloughed off skin cells, dried fluids, dirt, and so forth) may accumulate on the surface of the sensor or in crevices and cavities of the sensor, after repeated uses. As a result, it may be desirable to quickly and/or routinely clean the sensor in a thorough manner. However, in sensors having a multi-part construction, as is typical in reusable pulse oximeter sensors, it may be difficult to perform such a quick and/or routine cleaning. For example, such a thorough cleaning may require disassembly of the sensor and individual cleaning of the disassembled parts or may require careful cleaning using utensils capable of reaching into cavities or crevices of the sensor. Such cleaning is labor intensive and may be impractical in a typical hospital or clinic environment.
Certain aspects commensurate in scope with the originally claimed invention are set forth below. It should be understood that these aspects are presented merely to provide the reader with a brief summary of certain forms the invention might take and that these aspects are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Indeed, the invention may encompass a variety of aspects that may not be set forth below.
There is provided a sensor assembly that includes: a skeletal frame comprising a loop structure; at least one physiological sensor attached to the loop structure; and a coating provided over the skeletal frame and the at least one physiological sensor to form a sensor assembly.
There is also provided a method of manufacturing a sensor body that includes: coating a skeletal frame with a coating material to form a sensor body comprising at least one diaphragm structure.
There is also provided a method of applying a sensor that includes: applying force to a sensor body comprising a loop structure portion of a skeletal frame, wherein the applied force squeezes together opposing sides of the loop structure such that the sensor body is distorted; and situating the sensor body on a digit of a patient while the force is applied to the sensor body.
There is also provided a method of manufacturing a sensor that includes: situating at least one physiological sensor on a loop structure of a skeletal frame; and coating the skeletal frame with a coating material to form a sensor assembly.
Advantages of the invention may become apparent upon reading the following detailed description and upon reference to the drawings in which:
One or more specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below. In an effort to provide a concise description of these embodiments, not all features of an actual implementation are described in the specification. It should be appreciated that in the development of any such actual implementation, as in any engineering or design project, numerous implementation-specific decisions must be made to achieve the developers' specific goals, such as compliance with system-related and business-related constraints, which may vary from one implementation to another. Moreover, it should be appreciated that such a development effort might be complex and time consuming, but would nevertheless be a routine undertaking of design, fabrication, and manufacture for those of ordinary skill having the benefit of this disclosure.
It is desirable to provide a comfortable and conformable reusable patient sensor, such as for use in pulse oximetry or other applications utilizing spectrophotometry, that is easily cleaned and that is resistant to environmental light infiltration. In accordance with some aspects of the present technique, a reusable patient sensor is provided that is overmolded to provide patient comfort and a suitably conformable fit. The overmold material provides a seal against bodily fluids, as well as water or other cleaning fluids, that allows easy cleaning without disassembly or special tools. In accordance with some aspects of the present technique, the reusable patient sensor includes one or more diaphragm regions that provide expansion and conformability about the digit of a patient, thereby facilitating secure placement of the sensor on the patient.
Prior to discussing such exemplary sensors in detail, it should be appreciated that such sensors are typically designed for use with a patient monitoring system. For example, referring now to
In one embodiment, the patient monitor 12 may be a suitable pulse oximeter, such as those available from Nellcor Puritan Bennett Inc. In other embodiments, the patient monitor 12 may be a monitor suitable for measuring tissue water fractions, or other body fluid related metrics, using spectrophotometric or other techniques. Furthermore, the monitor 12 may be a multi-purpose monitor suitable for performing pulse oximetry and measurement of tissue water fraction, or other combinations of physiological and/or biochemical monitoring processes, using data acquired via the sensor 10. Furthermore, to upgrade conventional monitoring functions provided by the monitor 12 to provide additional functions, the patient monitor 12 may be coupled to a multi-parameter patient monitor 16 via a cable 18 connected to a sensor input port and/or via a cable 20 connected to a digital communication port.
The sensor 10, in the example depicted in
The sensor 10 described above is generally configured for use as a "transmission type" sensor for use in spectrophotometric applications, though in some embodiments it may instead be configured for use as a "reflectance type sensor." Transmission type sensors include an emitter and detector that are typically placed on opposing sides of the sensor site. If the sensor site is a fingertip, for example, the sensor 10 is positioned over the patient's fingertip such that the emitter and detector lie on either side of the patient's nail bed. For example, the sensor 10 is positioned so that the emitter is located on the patient's fingernail and the detector is located opposite the emitter on the patient's finger pad. During operation, the emitter shines one or more wavelengths of light through the patient's fingertip, or other tissue, and the light received by the detector is processed to determine various physiological characteristics of the patient.
Reflectance type sensors generally operate under the same general principles as transmittance type sensors. However, reflectance type sensors include an emitter and detector that are typically placed on the same side of the sensor site. For example, a reflectance type sensor may be placed on a patient's fingertip such that the emitter and detector are positioned side-by-side. Reflectance type sensors detect light photons that are scattered back to the detector.
For pulse oximetry applications using either transmission or reflectance type sensors the oxygen saturation of the patient's arterial blood may be determined using two or more wavelengths of light, most commonly red and near infrared wavelengths. Similarly, in other applications a tissue water fraction (or other body fluid related metric) or a concentration of one or more biochemical components in an aqueous environment may be measured using two or more wavelengths of light, most commonly near infrared wavelengths between about 1,000 nm to about 2,500 nm. It should be understood that, as used herein, the term "light" may refer to one or more of infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or even X-ray electromagnetic radiation, and may also include any wavelength within the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray spectra.
Pulse oximetry and other spectrophotometric sensors, whether transmission-type or reflectance-type, are typically placed on a patient in a location conducive to measurement of the desired physiological parameters. For example, pulse oximetry sensors are typically placed on a patient in a location that is normally perfused with arterial blood to facilitate measurement of the desired blood characteristics, such as arterial oxygen saturation measurement (SaO2). Common pulse oximetry sensor sites include a patient's fingertips, toes, forehead, or earlobes. Regardless of the placement of the sensor 10, the reliability of the pulse oximetry measurement is related to the accurate detection of transmitted light that has passed through the perfused tissue and has not been inappropriately supplemented by outside light sources or modulated by subdermal anatomic structures. Such inappropriate supplementation and/or modulation of the light transmitted by the sensor can cause variability in the resulting pulse oximetry measurements.
As noted above, the overmolded sensor 10 discussed herein may be configured for either transmission or reflectance type sensing. For simplicity, the exemplary embodiment of the sensor 10 described herein is adapted for use as a transmission-type sensor. As will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art, however, such discussion is merely exemplary and is not intended to limit the scope of the present technique.
Referring now to
In addition, the skeletal frame may include a cable guide 36 through which a cable, such as an electrical or optical cable, may pass to connect to the electrical or optical conductors attached to the emitter 22 and/or detector 24 upon assembly. Likewise, a skeletal frame, such as the depicted internal frame 30, may include component housings, such as the emitter housing 38 and detector housing 40 which are attached to the remainder of the skeletal frame, such as via the loop structure 32. The loop structure 32 may be relatively flexible, allowing the emitter housing 38 and/or the detector housing 40 to move vertically (such as along an optical axis between the respective housings) relative to one another.
In embodiments where the internal frame 30 is skeletal, the various structural supports 34, housings 38 and 40, loop structure 32, and other structures may define various openings and spaces around and/or between the structures of the skeletal frame. In this manner, the skeletal frame provides structural support at specific locations for a coating or overmolding. However, in regions where structural support is not provided, flexibility and freedom of motion in an overlying coating or overmolding may be possible. For example, in one implementation, the emitter housing 38 and/or the detector housing 40 may be attached to the remainder of the skeletal frame by a flexible loop structure 32, as depicted in
In certain embodiments, the internal frame 30 is constructed, in whole or in part, from polymeric materials, such as thermoplastics, capable of providing a suitable rigidity or semi-rigidity for the different portions of the internal frame 30. Examples of such suitable materials include polypropylene, polyurethane, and nylon, though other polymeric materials may also be suitable. In other embodiments, the internal frame 30 is constructed, in whole or in part, from other suitably rigid or semi-rigid materials that provide the desired support and flexibility, such as stainless steel, aluminum, magnesium, graphite, fiberglass, or other metals, alloys, or compositions that are sufficiently ductile and/or strong. For example, metals, alloys, or compositions that are suitable for diecasting, sintering, lost wax casting, stamping and forming, and other metal or composition fabrication processes may be used to construct the internal frame 30.
In addition, the internal frame 30 may be constructed as an integral structure or as a composite structure. For example, in one embodiment, the internal frame 30 may be constructed as a single piece from a single material or from different materials. Alternatively, the internal frame 30 may be constructed or assembled from two or more parts that are separately formed. In such embodiments, the different parts may be formed from the same or different materials. For example, in implementations where different parts are formed from different materials, each part may be constructed from a material having suitable mechanical and/or chemical properties for that part. For example, the loop structure 32 may be formed to be more flexible than the structural support 34 of the frame 30. The different parts may then be joined or fitted together to form the internal frame 30.
In addition, the internal frame 30 may be molded, formed, or constructed in a different configuration than the final sensor configuration. For example, the internal frame 30 for use in the sensor 10 may be initially formed, from one or more pieces, in a generally open, or flat, configuration (as depicted in
In such an implementation, the top portion 46, bottom portion 48, and connective portion 50 may be molded or formed as a single piece in an open configuration. In such an embodiment, the connective portion 50 may be broken or deformed to bring the top portion 46 and bottom portion 48 into a closed configuration, as depicted in
Alternatively, the internal frame 30 may be formed as multiple parts that are joined together to form the internal frame 30. For example, the top portion 46 and the bottom portion 48 may be molded or formed separately and subsequently secured together to form the internal frame 30. The different parts of the internal frame 30 may be joined together using one or more of the techniques noted above, such as a snap fitting process, ultrasonic welding, or heat staking or by application of an adhesive or mechanical fastener. If the internal frame 30 is secured together in an open configuration, the connective portion 50 may be broken or deformed to bring the top portion 46 and bottom portion 48 into a closed configuration, as depicted in
As noted above, in certain embodiments of the present technique, the frame 30 (such as a skeletal internal frame) is coated to form a unitary or integral sensor assembly as depicted in
For example, the sensor 10 may be formed by an injection molding process. In one example of such a process the internal frame 30 may be positioned within a die or mold of the desired shape for the sensor 10. A molten or otherwise unset overmold material may then be injected into the die or mold. For example, in one implementation, a molten thermoplastic elastomer at between about 400� F. to about 450� F. is injected into the mold. The overmold material may then be set, such as by cooling for one or more minutes or by chemical treatment, to form the sensor body about the internal frame 30. In certain embodiments, other sensor components, such as the emitter 22 and/or detector 24, may be attached or inserted into their respective housings or positions on the overmolded sensor body.
Alternatively, the optical components (such as emitter 22 and detector 24) and/or conductive structures (such as wires or flex circuits) may be placed on the internal frame 30 prior to overmolding. The internal frame 30 and associated components may then be positioned within a die or mold and overmolded, as previously described. To protect the emitter 22, detector 24, and or other electrical components, conventional techniques for protecting such components from excessive temperatures may be employed. For example, the emitter 22 and/or the detector 24 may include an associated clear window, such as a plastic or crystal window, in contact with the mold to prevent coating from being applied over the window. In one embodiment, the material in contact with such windows may be composed of a material, such as beryllium copper, which prevents the heat of the injection molding process from being conveyed through the window to the optical components. For example, in one embodiment, a beryllium copper material initially at about 40� F. is contacted with the windows associated with the emitter 22 and/or detector 24 to prevent coating of the windows and heat transfer to the respective optical components. As will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art, the injection molding process described herein is merely one technique by which the frame 30 may be coated to form a sensor body, with or without associated sensing components. Other techniques which may be employed include, but are not limited to, dipping the frame 30 into a molten or otherwise unset coating material to coat the frame 30 or spraying the frame 30 with a molten or otherwise unset coating material to coat the frame 30. In such implementations, the coating material may be subsequently set, such as by cooling or chemical means, to form the coating. Such alternative techniques, to the extent that they may involve high temperatures, may include thermally protecting whatever optical components are present, such as by using beryllium copper or other suitable materials to prevent heat transfer through the windows associated with the optical components, as discussed above.
By such techniques, the frame 30, as well as the optical components and associated circuitry where desired, may be encased in a coating material 60 to form an integral or unitary assembly with no exposed or external moving parts of the internal frame 30. For example, as depicted in
In one implementation, the overmolding or coating 60 is a thermoplastic elastomer or other conformable coating or material. In such embodiments, the thermoplastic elastomer may include compositions such as thermoplastic polyolefins, thermoplastic vulcanizate alloys, thermoplastic polyurethane, silicone, and so forth. In one embodiment, the overmolding material is a thermoplastic elastomer having a durometer of about 15 to about 25 Shore. As will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art, the overmolding composition may vary, depending on the varying degrees of flexibility, conformability, durability, wettability, or other physical and/or chemical traits that are desired. Furthermore, the coating material 60 may be selected based on the desired closing force imparted by the coating 60 to the upper portion 68 and lower portion 70 of the overmolded sensor body.
Furthermore, the coating material 60 may be selected based upon the desirability of a chemical bond between the internal frame 30 and the coating material 60. Such a chemical bond may be desirable for durability of the resulting overmolded sensor 10. For example, to prevent separation of the coating 60 from the internal frame 30, the material used to form the coating 60 may be selected such that the coating 60 bonds with some or all of the internal frame 30 during the overmolding process. In such embodiments, the coating 60 and the portions of the internal frame 30 to which the coating 60 is bonded are not separable, i.e., they form one continuous and generally inseparable structure.
Furthermore, in embodiments in which the coating 60 employed is liquid or fluid tight, such a sensor 10 may be easily maintained, cleaned, and/or disinfected by immersing the sensor into a disinfectant or cleaning solution or by rinsing the sensor 10 off, such as under running water. In particular, such an overmolded sensor assembly may be generally or substantially free of crevices, gaps, junctions or other surface irregularities typically associated with a multi-part construction which may normally allow the accumulation of biological detritus or residue. Such an absence of crevices and other irregularities may further facilitate the cleaning and care of the sensor 10.
Turning now to
In addition, as depicted in
For larger digits, however, the diaphragm structures 76 may be deformed or displaced 5 to a greater extent to accommodate the digit, thereby displacing the emitter 22 and/or detector 24 as well. In addition, for medium to large digits, the diaphragm structures 76 may also increase retention of the sensor 10 on the digit by increasing the surface area to which the retaining force is applied.
Furthermore, as the diaphragm structures 76 deform, the force applied to the digit is spread out over a large area on the digit due to the deformation of the diaphragm structures 76. In this way, a lower pressure on digits of all sizes may be provided for a given vertical force. Therefore, a suitable conforming fit may be obtained in which the emitter 22 and detector 24 are maintained in contact with the digit without the application of concentrated and/or undesirable amounts of force, thereby improving blood flow through the digit.
In one embodiment, the loop structure 32 of the frame 30 and/or the coating material 60 bias the top portion 68 and a bottom portion 70 of the overmolded sensor 10 closed. An opposing force, however, may be applied to the lateral sides 78 of the overmolded sensor 10 to overcome the closing force and move the top portion 68 and bottom portion 70 apart. Alternately (or in addition), an opposing force may be applied to the inward facing surfaces 80 of the top portion 68 and bottom portion 70 to overcome the closing force and move the top portion 68 and bottom portion 70 apart. For example, in the depicted embodiment, the lateral sides 78 may be pinched or squeezed together to overcome the closing force provided by the frame 30 and the coating material 60 such that the top portion 68 and bottom portion 70 are separated. This process may be facilitated (or replaced) by the application of an opposing force to the inward facing surfaces 80 of the top portion 68 and bottom portion 70, such as by the insertion of a finger, to separate the top portion 68 and bottom portion 70. In this way, a patient sensor 10 incorporating the internal frame 30 may be opened for placement on a patient's finger, toe, or other appendage.
In the example depicted in
Though the preceding examples relate to embodiments having two opposing diaphragm structures 76 provided on opposing faces of the sensor 10, other embodiments are also presently contemplated. For example, in one alternative embodiment, a single diaphragm structure 76 is provided on either the top portion 68 or bottom portion 70, with the opposing portion being relatively rigid compared to the diaphragm containing portion. In such an embodiment, the diaphragm containing portion flexes in response to opposing lateral force, as discussed above, to provide a conforming and comfortable fit when applied to a patient.
While the exemplary medical sensors 10 discussed herein are some examples of overmolded or coated medical devices, other such devices are also contemplated and fall within the scope of the present disclosure. For example, other medical sensors and/or contacts applied externally to a patient may be advantageously applied using an overmolded sensor body as discussed herein. Examples of such sensors or contacts may include glucose monitors or other sensors or contacts that are generally held adjacent to the skin of a patient such that a conformable and comfortable fit is desired. Similarly, and as noted above, devices for measuring tissue water fraction or other body fluid related metrics may utilize a sensor as described herein. Likewise, other spectrophotometric applications where a probe is attached to a patient may utilize a sensor as described herein.
While the invention may be susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments have been shown by way of example in the drawings and have been described in detail herein. However, it should be understood that the invention is not intended to be limited to the particular forms disclosed. Rather, the invention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following appended claims. Indeed, the present techniques may not only be applied to transmission type sensors for use in pulse oximetry, but also to retroflective and other sensor designs as well. Likewise, the present techniques are not limited to use on fingers and toes but may also be applied to placement on other body parts such as in embodiments configured for use on the ears or nose.

In announcing the Affordable Excellence initiative at Roger Williams University in October 2012, President Don Farish launched this President's Blog as a key tool in starting a broad conversation, both on campus and beyond, on access to and affordability of American higher education.
We Americans are a funny lot. Whether because of our heritage as a nation born through revolution and blessed with size and an abundance of natural resources, or because of our fascination with winning, as we do in athletics, we seem inordinately fond of defining, and being associated with, "the best." Tonight and tomorrow night, respectively, we will determine "the best" men's and women's collegiate basketball teams in the country, and ice hockey will soon follow. We'll get to baseball in late spring, and next January it will be time to declare "the best" college football team.
This fascination with determining "the best" carries over to colleges and universities themselves. Shouldn't we urge our children to attend "the best" college or university – or at least "the best" institution that will accept him or her? Why settle for second best? We want "the best!"

"Frank's Redhot - I Put That **** On Everything!" ~ Ethel
That's your opinion. The facts say otherwise. The Bible presents itself as being written under divine inspiration of God whose name is Yahweh/Jehovah/YHWH. Evidence of divine inspiration is seen in the nearly 2,000 accurately fulfilled prophecies.
It is impossible for mere humans to accurately predict events to the tune of nearly 2,000 times, and to predict events years before they occur while giving detailed descriptions of what will occur.
The above was not a quotation, it was a statement or a summarization of what's written in the Bible. Whenever I quote scriptures, I use dark red print, and I also identify the Bible book, chapter, and verse.
Is the forum supposed to take your word for it? Expressing your opinion is all well and good--which is all you've done here. Now, suppose you present documentary evidence to back up what you're saying. Show me and the rest of the forum where the Bible copied other religions by presenting Bible book, chapter, and verse and then by quoting the other religions that have the exact same presentation as what you quote from the Bible? This I've got to see.
The Bible is a mix of fiction and plagiarism from other religions. Written over several centuries, written centuries after 'the fact' and done so by multiple people.
If you took the time to understand your fellow man and his beliefs the sides wouldn't be so divided as to what is and isn't fact. You cannot prove atheism, evolution, Christianity, Muslim or any other theory as fact because there is one simple question that undermines ever religion, if God created man from his image, who created God? If nothing existed before God how did God come into being? These are questions you have to take it on faith, faith as described by religion and not Websters dictionary. Faith is unprovable and undeniable.
Even in Greek religion with worshiped numerous gods, Chaos ruled as a single god before the separation of heaven and earth divided into numerous gods to worship but even so it descends from one common god, a theory much more common to all religions than not, one common god or event.
Just because you study opposing philosophy and religion doesn't mean you have to accept it all as fact but it means you can understand it. The great thing about our nation is your right to choose and change your beliefs as you see fit. Even the most devote Christians meet with Jewish and Muslim leaders to discuss world divide all the time and there is one common agreement between them all, understanding and relationships:
"What do you think is the most powerful way to achieve world peace?" the Rev. Elanor Stanton said.
"Through relationships, not through politics," Rabbi Yaakov Kellman replied. "If we don't have relationships, we do not look at one another."
The theme of Sunday's symposium at the Hindu Temple Society of the Capital District on Albany Shaker Road was a "pursuit of peace and world harmony."
Leaders from six faiths -- Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism -- swapped philosophies, anecdotes and thoughts on how to eradicate friction between people of different beliefs.
"Harmony is not achieved when everybody is singing the same note," Kellman said. "It is the combination of many different notes."

The fact that I asked you for evidence in my last post to prove your claims about the Bible being copied from other religions, and you then responded as above--with an almost identical wash, rinse, and repeat of the same thing--says one thing: you have no evidence to prove it.

Picture This :: The Male Portraiture of Dave Dietz
Portrait of a photographer: Boston-based shutterbug David Dietz had a steady job at a private school when fate intervened in late 2011. "I was working at Walnut Hill School for the Arts," Dietz recollected. "It's a performing and visual arts high school in Natick. I'd been there since we'd moved to Boston, and basically what happened is that my job got eliminated.
"I had a pretty unique job being an in-house graphic designer," Dietz added. "They decided to re-structure and made a new position that was more a classic PR kind of position." Dietz could have wrung his hands, hung his head, and bemoaned his fate, finding himself jobless along with eight million other Americans in the wake of the Great Recession. But he had a different idea: To answer an artistic calling.
"The time was right," Dietz told EDGE, adding that his former occupation "was a job where, at the beginning, it was a challenge--and by the end there was no longer any challenge there.
"I had wanted to do photography for some time," Dietz continued. "I had some photography to do in that job, and I had done it back in college; I was a film and photography major before I switched to fine arts. I hadn't done photography in a while, but two and a half years ago, on Christmas Eve, my husband Karl gave me a digital camera. We went to Easton Mountain for New Year's and I started taking pictures. I decided I wanted to take a good picture of every guy that was in attendance there, there were about 60 guys or so. I found I was making a really good connection to the guys; people liked my photos a lot; some people were kind of amazed that I had the camera for three days. We ended up doing a slide presentation for the talent show. Since then, I've been hooked by doing photography again."
Getting to the point where he was willing to make a go at professional photography may not have taken much time, but the decision did take some thought.
"When I was laid off, I took some time to figure out what I wanted to do next," Dietz recounted. "I went to Easton Mountain for the whole month of October to do some volunteer work and just think--just see what would come to me. Really, nothing else did, except for photography It was the only thing I felt I was passionate about. By the end of the month it seemed so obvious a choice. Since then I've been pursuing it."
A Home for Art
Easton Mountain, one of Dietz's first artistic homes, is also a place many men regard as a spiritual home. Easton Mountain is a gay men's retreat in upstate New York, established 11 years ago by John Stasio and run by a small key staff and a cadre of volunteers. The retreat center hosts dozens of programs, workshops, and events throughout the year, from its extremely popular annual New Year's celebration to supportive, healing programs like Queer Spirit Camp and Living Full Out.
"I started dong a lot of events there and putting them on Facebook," Dietz recounted. "I was told that my pictures get the most hits on their Facebook page, and then they asked to use some of my photos for a catalogue. I also did their Holiday card this last year, which was great. I was there when we had one of last winter's few snowstorms, at the end of October, so it was a beautiful snow-covered scene. The timing was perfect."
The retreat center's website includes a number of Dietz's photos. It's a good match, given that Dietz prefers his settings (and his models) to be natural. "I prefer to shoot outdoors whenever possible especially in nature," the photographer noted. "Men in nature is my favorite thing to shoot."
But Dietz's work isn't only online; it's also on walls. Dietz is a member of Fort Point Arts Community (FPAC). A number of his photos are on display at the group's gallery, Made in Fort Point, which is located at 12 Farnsworth Street in Boston. Moreover, Dietz's work is on display at the Blue Glass Café in the John Hancock building, located at 300 Clarendon street, through July 16.
And, of course, his photos grace the halls of Easton Mountain. "This last New Year's, exactly two years after I got the camera, I had my first show there," Dietz said. "That was fun, because a lot of the pictures I'd taken Easton, but there were also pictures from all around London and Paris. It was nice; it really went over. I sold about ten photos. Some of the guys that were there were in some of the photos, and I'm hopefully going to do it again this New Year's."
Cover Boy
His work at Easton Mountain opened some doors, leading to Dietz's work being featured in two gay publications.
"'Boston Spirit' ran a story about Easton Mountain a couple of months ago, and they used some of my photos for that, and also interviewed me for that, as well," Dietz said.
"Another publication that ran some of my work is a PDF magazine out of the UK called All Bear, and they did a feature on Kendall Kelly, who is a Bear celebrity; he's a singer and performer.
"I was at Easton Mountain for the first Bear Weekend back in February, and he mentioned the he needed pictures for a magazine he was going to be in, and Dennis [Petragnani, Easton's General Manager] suggested I take the pictures," Dietz explained. "So we did them there at Easton, and he was going to be in the next issue of All Bear, but I guess they liked the pictures so much they made a special edition out of it, mostly of him."
While it's nice to attract attention on the strength of one's work and talent alone, any business also involves at least a modicum of marketing. So far, Dietz suggested, his marketing efforts haven't had to eat up a lot of his time and energy.
"It's a mix; one thing leads to another," the photographer reflected. "For instance, I've done my church's gala, the Arlington Street Church, shot their gala for the last three years. Recently, our intern minister hired me to shoot her ordination, I think that's a direct result of my volunteer work. Right now, it's more word of mouth, or people see my photos and [contact me for some work]."
That includes portrait work, headshots, and other commercial work, in addition to Dietz's artistic photography. Dietz summarized his business model, saying, "I do personal photo shoots for guys tailored to their intentions."
"It took me a while. I developed my web site, so I have that going now, but I really think it's more word of mouth."

Practice Philosophy
The Prysi Cosmetic Surgery Center is dedicated to a long established tradition of providing comprehensive cosmetic surgical care. In the last 8 to 10 years there have been dramatic innovations in cosmetic surgery, such as endoscopic procedures. Endoscopic surgery has eliminated the scars on the breasts after breast enhancement. The endoscopic minimal-incision facial rejuvenation has allowed Dr. Prysi to achieve a more natural look than the typical facelifts with the advantage of little down time. In addition, ultrasonic liposuction has dramatically improved body contouring results allowing increased fat removal with better skin contraction.
Dr. Prysi's unique artistic vision combined with these innovative techniques has produced the dramatic results you will see during your consultation, on our web site, and at our free monthly seminar.
Cosmetic Surgery of Face, Breast and Body
Dr. Prysi believes in taking the time to truly understand each patient's goals. The consultation is a time for the patient and Dr. Prysi to get to know each other and discuss possibilities. The consultation process at Prysi Cosmetic Surgery takes between 1 to 1-1/2 hours because we believe it's important that you receive the time needed to ask questions, learn about your choices and make an informed decision. Dr. Prysi will meet with you for a personal discussion of your surgical goals and desires. Dr. Prysi is a highly qualified surgeon and will give you his best opinion as to which procedures fit your objective. He will also touch on the length of procedures, where the surgery will take place, what kind of anesthesia will be used, pre-operative considerations and post-operative care.
With our patient's comfort and safety in mind, Naples Day Surgery Center was chosen as the location where all procedures will be performed. Naples Day Surgery Center is an out-patient facility in Collier County accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. It is the highest and most stringent accreditation body in the state. In a recent inspection, Naples Day Surgery Center scored 100% in every category.
Anesthesia is independently administered by an M.D. anesthesiologist-directed team that has been in Collier County for twenty-five years. The M.D. anesthesiologist is also in charge of a fully-staffed anesthesia recovery unit. Because patient comfort and privacy are important, pre- and post-op areas for patients are separate and private.

Mixtapes of the Month – September 2013
Mixtapes of the Month - September 2013
There was a time when mixtapes were loose collections of songs not good enough to make an album. Those days are over. In 2013, an age where artists recognize that the road to stardom is paved with free music, mixtapes have become full, original bodies of music in their own right. But all that free music also means discovering something truly worth your time can be harder than finding a needle in a digital haystack. That's where our friends at djbooth.net come in. Their new "Mixtapes of the Month" series will narrow down the previous 30 days (give or take) down to three projects guaranteed to ensure the month's best work doesn't pass you by. So without further ado, here are three new ones for your tape deck, desktop or iPhone.
DJ Charlie White, "Let Go"
Don't get us wrong, we love a talented emcee as much as the next hip-hop head, but sometimes we just want to listen to some great beats; can you blame us!? Well, when the beats are as intricate and head-nod inducing as the ones found on DJ Charlie White's Let Go project, heck no you can't!
To the untrained ear an instrumental album might seem a little unfinished, but even your grandma (assuming she is not a hip-hop fan) could tell you Charlie White says more with the boards than some emcees say with the mic. Whether you are an emcee looking for inspiration or someone who needs music to get work done—sometimes a boisterous emcee can break your focus— there is plenty to chew on here. "Let Go," the title track, features a soulful, stretched vocal sample priced by a relentless snare perfect for running that last mile or knocking out your work with a deadline looming. Just four tracks later, White completely changes the mood, cooking up a pensive piano-driven beat littered with samples (including a Kanye chop) made for a rainy summer evening or a sleepless night. At the very least, Let Go allows you to play A&R, debating which emcees would sound dope over these beats. The best part? You can't be wrong; when the beats are this good, even you and I could be rappers.
Allan Rayman, "H.O.H.W."
Canada has brought us some pretty great stuff, like for example maple syrup and hockey. Our Northern neighbor, Toronto specifically, is also responsible for bringing some really incredible music. We all know Drake has Canadian roots, but there are some super talented indie artists sprouting up everywhere you turn. The latest (and perhaps the soon-to-be greatest) T-Dot talent is Allan Rayman.
Blending one part Drake and one part Weeknd, sprinkled with a dash of Citizen Cope, Rayman creates a crooning concoction all his own. His beats are often foggy, and synth driven, but his raspy yet smooth style certainly gives his cuts a gritty undertone. His sung-rapped style is entrancing and on cuts like Mickey and Mallory you wont be able to resist his unique style; despite its grimy feel, this cut goes down so easy and leaves you wanting more. Lucky for you, there are nine more cuts to enjoy on H.O.H.W. If adding content with endless replay-ability to your library doesn't interest you, at the very least you can impress your friends by turning them on to this future chart topper.
ANTHM, "The Fire Next Time"
Although it provides my friends with ample ammunition to make fun of me, I love golf; both playing and watching. When I am on the links, shanking one out of every four shots and sending my ball for a swim, I am always amazed at how effortless the pros make it look. Consider ANTHM hip-hop's professional golfer. On his latest free EP The Fire Next Time, ANTHM makes rapping seem so effortless; the mark of a true emcee.
While it might seem like this comes naturally to ANTHM, rest assured, he puts isn so much hard work; you don't get a sound this pure without busting your hump. This is no more obvious than on "I Remember." On "I Remember," the New York native dances atop a soothing boom-bap beat rattling off an array of lines—each one more intelligent than the last—that, despite his effortless delivery, grab you and ring out in your brain, long after the song ends. While the former Wall St. banker's sound is unlike anybody else's, you can hear a faint resemblance to Kendrick Lamar on Bear With Me. The cloudy vibe and hazy chorus would bring a tear to Kendrick's eye, and if he were to listen to the whole EP, he would be crying rivers that still aren't as fluid as ANTHM's flow.

Against a background of heightened risk, market and regulatory pressures, financial services organisations are striving to grow and enhance shareholder value.
Customer needs and expectations are evolving in the face of increasing personal wealth, an ageing population and the desire for ever more accessible and personalised financial products and services. Intense competition has squeezed industry margins and forced companies to cut costs while enhancing the quality of customer choice and service.
As financial services organisations strive to become more innovative and entrepreneurial, the war for talent is intensifying. Risks mount as products become more complex, organisations more diffuse and the business environment ever more uncertain. At the same time, regulation is tightening in the wake of public and government pressure for improved governance, transparency and accountability.
In this environment, the winners will be companies that can turn the challenges into opportunities to build stronger and more enduring customer relationships; sharpen process efficiency; unlock talent and creativity; use improved risk management processes to deliver more sustainable returns; and use new regulatory demands as a catalyst for strengthening the business and enhancing market confidence.

Ana takes on compatriot Jelena Jankovic in the Australian Open third round on Friday. It will be the 11th meeting between the pair, with Ana leading the head-to-head series 7-3.
The two former world No.1s clashed most famously at Roland Garros in 2008, when the top ranking was on the line, in the semi-finals. On that occasion Ana triumphed in three sets, their only previous meeting at a Grand Slam tournament.
On hard courts the head-to-head record is much more even: 3-2 to Ana. That includes victory in their most recent clash, at Indian Wells in 2011.
"We have had some amazing matches over the years," said Ana about her Fed Cup teammate. "We obviously know each other's games very well, and we have very different styles. I think that makes for entertaining tennis and it's always a great challenge playing Jelena."
Jankovic, like Ana, narrowly reached the third round with a three-set win. She defeated world No.129 Maria Joao Koehler 2-6, 7-6, 6-2.
Ana will be looking to improve upon her own performance in round two, where she defeated 118th-ranked Yung-Jan Chan 7-5, 1-6, 6-4.
"Yesterday's match wasn't the best I've played, but sometimes you just have to dig in and battle, when you're not playing so well. In that regard it was a pleasing victory," Ana wrote on Facebook.

I felt like a knight in armor
My name is Jim Leons. I own a Sports Shop in Gunnison Colorado. I have been using Filson outdoor clothes since 1975. Mostly the Tin clothing, working in the Pacific Northwest. I would like to express my thanks to Filson for their outstanding outdoor products.
Last week I was elk hunting in Western Colorado with six other friends, who were not outfitted with Filson gear. I was wearing the Double Hunting Pants and Wading Jacket. We experienced typical Colorado November weather hardships. Blowing snow, haul and extreme winds for a six-day period. I experienced complete protection from the elements and felt like a Knight in Armor: Filson's Armor. At the end of each cold/wet day we all returned to camp. My hunting buddies were all wet and cold and extremely miserable. Spending considerable time drying out and warming up. I returned to camp dry, but muddy and in complete comfort. Needless to say all of the others in my party will be contacting Filson to purchase "only the best field gear."
Thanks again in producing the finest quality and extreme outdoor clothing.
