Patent number: 11761152Abstract: Soil form structure for supporting hardscape and corresponding vehicle, pedestrian traffic, and other loads while maintaining uncompacted or loosely compacted soil underneath. A number of cell structures may be coupled to each other, where each cell has a strong yet lightweight and open structure that can accept uncompacted soil, vegetation roots, utilities, and the like within at least approximately 85-90% of its volume, while also allowing hardscape to be poured or formed thereon. Thus, cell structures allow for hardscape to be integrally formed with the cell structures, without need for an underlying layer of highly compacted soil or other hardscape support.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2020Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: DeepRoot Green Infrastructure, LLCInventors: Charles Graham Ray, Jeffrey Shawn Freedberg, John Joseph Cogger, Patrick Brien Greeley

Publication number: 20210375473Abstract: A wearable device can be used for hypertension monitoring. The wearable device can include a motion sensor and an optical sensor. The data from the sensors can be processed in the wearable device and/or by another device in communication with the wearable device to provide an early screening for undiagnosed hypertension. If the screening estimates undiagnosed hypertension for a user, the user can then be notified to seek a proper hypertension diagnosis. The hypertension monitoring can include a first stage to estimate one or more short-term hypertension scores or parameters. The hypertension monitoring can also include a second stage to estimate a long-term hypertension score using accumulated short-term scores/parameters to estimate hypertension.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2021Publication date: December 2, 2021Inventors: Leon Alexander GATYS, Gleb KICHAEV, Charles H.
