Abstract

On March 20, 1998, Sandia National Laboratories performed a double-blind test of the DKL LifeGuard human presence detector and tracker. The test was designed to allow the device to search for individuals well within the product`s published operational parameters. The Test Operator of the DKL LifeGuard was provided by the manufacturer and was a high-ranking member of DKL management. The test was developed and implemented to verify the performance of the device as specified by the manufacturer. The device failed to meet its published specifications and it performed no better than random chance.

Effect of liraglutide on myocardial glucose uptake and blood flow in stable chronic heart failure patients: A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled LIVE sub-study

Journal Article Nielsen, Roni; Jorsal, Anders; Iversen, Peter; ... - Journal of Nuclear Cardiology (Online)

Background: The glucagon-like peptide-1 analog liraglutide increases heart rate and may be associated with more cardiac events in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. We studied whether this could be ascribed to effects on myocardial glucose uptake (MGU), myocardial blood flow (MBF) and MBF reserve (MFR). Methods and Results: CHF patients with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤45% and without type 2 diabetes were randomized to liraglutide (N = 18) 1.8 mg once daily or placebo (N = 18) for 24 weeks in a double-blinded design. Changes in MGU during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and changes in MBF and MFR from baseline to follow-up were measured quantitativelymore »« less

Testing of double-layer capacitors for high reliability applications

Conference Clark, N

Double-Layer Capacitors (DLCs) have been used mainly for computer memory backup in consumer applications during the last ten years. Their high capacitance density, along with maintenance-free operation, makes them suited for these applications. In recent years users, mostly in military applications, have expressed interest in using DLCs in high reliability applications both for backup power and pulse power applications. To meet this need, developers have pursued technologies that use carbon and mixed metal oxides as the electrode material to produce high reliability double-layer capacitors. In this paper, a carbon-based DLC that was manufactured by Evans Company, and a mixed metalmore »« less

Infrasound Sensor Models and Evaluations

Conference KROMER, RICHARD; MCDONALD, TIMOTHY

Sandia National Laboratories has continued to evaluate the performance of infrasound sensors that are candidates for use by the International Monitoring System (IMS) for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization. The performance criteria against which these sensors are assessed are specified in ``Operational Manual for Infra-sound Monitoring and the International Exchange of Infrasound Data''. This presentation includes the results of efforts concerning two of these sensors: (1) Chaparral Physics Model 5; and (2) CEA MB2000. Sandia is working with Chaparral Physics in order to improve the capability of the Model 5 (a prototype sensor) to be calibrated and evaluated. With themore »« less
