Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is disclosed. The method includes, while the patient uses the treatment apparatus, controlling, based on a treatment plan for a patient, a treatment apparatus. The method includes receiving, by a processing device, data from an electronic device, wherein the data comprises one of a position of a body part of the patient or a force exerted by the body part. The method includes storing, via the processing device, the data for the patient in a computer-readable medium. The method includes causing, via a processing device, presentation of a user interface on a patient interface. The user interface comprises an adjustment confirmation control, and the adjustment confirmation control is configured to solicit a response regarding the patient's comfort level with the one of the position of the body part or the force exerted by the body part.

Abstract: The present invention relates to splice modulating oligonucleotides (oligomers) that are complementary to the CARD9 pre-mRNA, for inhibiting the inclusion of a CARD9 exon 11 in CARD9 mRNA. The oligonucleotides of the invention are useful in the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as IBD.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing an artificial standoff to the bottom of leads on a QFN device sufficient to provide a gap that changes the fluid dynamics of solder flow and create a unique capillary effect that drives solder up the of leads of a QFN device when it is attached to a printed wiring board (PWB).

Abstract: In examples, a package comprises a semiconductor die having a device side and a bond pad on the device side, a conductive terminal exposed to an exterior of the package, and an electrical fuse. The electrical fuse comprises a conductive ball coupled to the bond pad, and a bond wire coupled to the conductive terminal. The bond wire is stitch-bonded to the conductive ball.

Abstract: An integrated health care delivery network with enabling software and network technology to maximize bed resources, manage varying census levels, and avoid patient diversions through real-time monitoring, automation and communication, is disclosed. Preferably, the present invention is embodied in a bed management system that interfaces with and complements existing Admission/Discharge/Transfer (ADT) systems. The bed management system is an easy-to-use business intelligence application that is designed to allow administrators, clinicians and managers to easily access, analyze and display real-time patient and bed availability information from ancillary information systems, databases and spreadsheets. It enables users to see trends and relationships in hospital (bed) management data directly from their desktop personal computers.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques and systems for evaluating exercise performance of a user of a fitness system by utilizing one or more intelligent sensors, including at least one camera-based sensor configured to detect image data of the user. The fitness system may include a stationary exercise device, a memory to store personal information about a user, and a processor to generate a set of exercise rules based, at least in part, on the personal information about the user. The fitness system may also include one or more sensors to monitor a physical state of the user, and a fuzzy system to generate an evaluation for the user based, at least in part, on i) the set of rules and ii) output from the one or more sensors. The fitness system may thereby provide real-time, constructive feedback regarding the user's exercise performance based on the sensed data.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques and systems for recognizing a user via a networked fitness system and initiating a customized exercise routine for the recognized user. The process includes receiving, at the networked fitness system, identification data associated with the user, and transmitting the identification data over a network to one or more remotely located servers. The networked fitness system may receive a user identification (ID) from the remotely located server(s) at least partly in response to the transmitted identification data, and receive a confirmation from the user that the user ID corresponds to the user. At least partly in response to the confirmation, the networked fitness system may automatically download a customized exercise routine associated with the user from the remotely located server(s) and initiate the customized exercise routine by the networked fitness system.
