Patent number: 9754336Abstract: Gesture-based communication systems and methods for communicating with healthcare personnel are disclosed. According to an aspect, a system is disclosed that includes a movement detector configured to detect movement of muscle and to generate a wireless signal in response to detection of the muscle movement. The system also includes a base station in wireless communication with the movement detector, and configured to implement a predetermined action based on the wireless signal. The base station may be configured to interface with a healthcare call system such as in a hospital environment. The base station may control the healthcare call system to communicate a notification signal based on the wireless signal.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2014Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: The Medical Innovators CollaborativeInventors: Timothy N. Martin, Richard A. Daniels, Andrew J. DiMeo, Sr., Wenbo Sharon Zhang, Xiaji Astor Liu, Daniel Bieber

Publication number: 20140364806Abstract: A cooling device includes a target fluid inlet, a target fluid outlet, an inner conduit, and a chamber surrounding the inner conduit. The inner conduit communicates with the target fluid inlet and the target fluid outlet, and provides a flow path for a target fluid to be cooled. The chamber contains a first endothermic reactant and includes a reactant inlet selectively alterable from a closed state to an open state. When the reactant inlet is in the closed state, the first endothermic reactant is isolated from a second endothermic reactant and no endothermic reaction occurs. When the reactant inlet is in the open state, the reactant inlet provides a flow path for enabling the second endothermic reactant to come into contact with the first endothermic reactant in the chamber for initiating the endothermic reaction and cooling the target fluid in the inner conduit.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2014Publication date: December 11, 2014Inventors: Andrew J. DiMeo, Nathan M. Cox, Steven P. Grove, Samuel Lee, Luke D. Oltmans, Kathryn H. Sauer
