  • Patent number: 11978547
    Abstract: The example systems, methods, and/or computer-readable media described herein help with design treatment plans for orthodontic treatments. Treatment templates expressed according to treatment domain-specific protocols may be processed to provide treatment planning software, including automated or real-time treatment planning software, that accommodates treatment preferences of a practitioner and/or patient data relevant to a treatment plan. These methods and systems may be also be useful for planning, designing and producing as series of dental appliances (e.g., aligners).

  • Publication number: 20240130635
    Abstract: A device is provided for overcoming freezing of gait. Suitably, the device includes a sleeve sized and shaped to be worn on a leg of a human subject, an array of electrodes carried by the sleeve and positioned to make surface contact with a skin of the leg when the sleeve is worn on by the human subject, and a controller in communication with the array of electrodes. The controller is operative to receive muscle activity data from the array of electrodes indicative of muscle activity in the leg, identify an onset of a freezing of gait episode based on the received muscle activity data, and trigger energization of one or more targeted electrodes in response to identification of the onset of the freezing of gait episode to mitigate against the freezing of gait episode.

  • Publication number: 20240122502
    Abstract: One or more radar sensors can be used to monitor patients in a variety of different environments and embodiments. In one embodiment, radar sensors can be used to monitor a patient's breathing, including monitoring of tidal volume, chest expansion distance, breathing rate, etc. In another embodiment, a patient position can be monitored in a patient bed, which can be used as feedback for control of bladders of a patient bed. Additional embodiments are described herein.

  • Patent number: 11929160
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a signal associated with a characteristic of an actuation event of a medicament delivery device. The method includes establishing a communications link (e.g., via a short-range wireless protocol), between a mobile computing device and a medicament delivery device. A wireless first signal associated with a first motion profile of the medicament delivery device is then received from the medicament delivery device. A second signal associated with a second motion profile of the mobile computing device is generated. The method then includes producing a notification via the mobile computing device when A) a magnitude of the first motion profile is outside of a first threshold and B) a magnitude of the second motion profile is outside of a second threshold.

  • Patent number: 6813579
    Abstract: A test mode control unit of an integrated circuit receives and decodes a test mode signal to perform testing of the integrated circuit. Logical AND operations are performed on the decoded test control signal and a test signal. The test signal allows the integrated circuit to toggle between test and non-test modes of operation. In one instance, the toggling allows real time debugging of the integrated circuit when test data outputs of internal signals or states are multiplexed onto a data bus.

  • Patent number: 6349729
    Abstract: A portable nail polish table generally comprises a base portion and a pair of side flaps. The base portion includes nail polish bottle holding wells and a grippable, stabilizing flange. The side flaps are proximate the base portion and are able to present a substantially horizontal work surface area. The stabilizing flange is substantially perpendicular to the horizontal works surface area when presented. Further, upon gripping of the stabilizing flange, e.g., with the knees or legs, the side flaps are maintained in a substantially horizontal orientation.
