Methods and systems for providing auditory messages for medical devices are provided. One method includes receiving semantic rating scale data corresponding to a plurality of sounds and medical message descriptions and performing semantic mapping using the received semantic rating scale data. The method also includes determining profiles for audible medical messages based on the semantic mapping and generating audible medical messages based on the determined profiles.

A patient transport apparatus having a table configured to support a patient, a base attached to the table, a docking system attached to the base, the docking system configured to couple to a mating docking system of an MR imaging system, and a plurality of bays formed in the base, with each bay configured to receive a patient care module therein. The patient transport apparatus further includes a control system configured to be electrically coupled to each patient care module received within the plurality of bays and configured to centrally control each patient care module.

Patient transport apparatus with integrated subsystems for use in magnetic resonance imaging

Methods and apparatuses for generating hyperpolarized materials are disclosed. In one embodiment, a flexible fluid path is provided for use in a polarizer system. In a further embodiment, a polarizer system is provided with an electromechanical assembly for controlling the movement of a fluid path, when present, within a sample path of the polarizer system. In a further embodiment, a polarizer system is provided having a sample path entry point at a convenient height for use by a user standing on the ground.

Limited-play optical medium with improved shelf stability are formed from a plurality of layers, including in sequence: (a) a first substrate layer; (b) a data layer; (c) a reflective layer; (d) a reactive layer comprising a dye having a reduced state and an oxidized state and further comprising an oxidized form of a reducing agent effective to convert the dye from the oxidized state to the reduced state, and (e) a second substrate layer. The dye in the reduced state is substantially transparent to light of wavelengths used to read the optical medium, and the dye in the oxidized state absorbs light of wavelengths used to read the optical medium. The reflective metal layer is formed from a metal or metal alloy that is not significantly oxidized by the oxidized form of the reducing agent. For example, the reflective metal layer is suitably formed from silver or gold.

Limited-play optical media with improved shelf-life and playability

A method for regenerating deactivated sulfonated cation exchange catalysts comprises washing the deactivated catalyst with phenol-water mixtures comprising about 5-20 wt. % of water in phenol at a temperature of about 70-95&deg; C.

Regeneration of catalysts used in the manufacture of bisphenols

A thermoplastic resin composition contains an aromatic carbonate resin, a rubber modified graft copolymer comprising a discontinuous rubber phase dispersed in a continuous rigid thermoplastic phase, wherein at least a portion of the rigid thermoplastic phase is chemically grafted to the rubber phase, and a flame retarding amount of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt of an alkylbenzenesulfonic acid flame retardant.
