  • Patent number: 11819313
    Abstract: Continuous temperature monitors can be used to collect frequent temperature data over large periods of time. A machine learning system trained with collected temperature data can be used to predict future temperature data for patients. Such predictions can be clinically beneficial for disease states in which fever can be fatal, particularly for those fevers having fast onset. For example, patients undergoing chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy may suffer fevers caused by cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Accordingly, a continuous temperature monitor is used to collect temperature data from CAR-T patients with high risk of CRS (or like patients with high fever risk), and the collected temperature data processed by a machine learning system to predict the patient's future temperature profiles. Results of analysis of the predicted temperature profiles may then be provided to the patient and/or clinician.

  • Patent number: 10849501
    Abstract: An actively-powered temperature data logger patch with wireless data communication includes a first substrate layer, a second substrate layer, a non-adhesive release layer, and an electronics inlay disposed between the first and second substrate layers. The electronics inlay includes a sealed, flexible battery, and a flexible circuit having a temperature sensor. An outer face of the non-adhesive release layer is has release properties. A replaceable adhesive includes a carrier substrate, a structural adhesive coated on a first face and attached to the outer face of the non-adhesive release layer, and a skin-contact approved adhesive coated on a second opposite face. In another example, an auxiliary sleeve having an exterior surface with an adhesive configured to be removably applied to a subject, may partially enclose the temperature data logger patch in an internal compartment.

  • Patent number: 10090430
    Abstract: A high efficiency configuration for a solar cell module comprises solar cells conductively bonded to each other in a shingled manner to form super cells, which may be arranged to efficiently use the area of the solar module, reduce series resistance, and increase module efficiency. The front surface metallization patterns on the solar cells may be configured to enable single step stencil printing, which is facilitated by the overlapping configuration of the solar cells in the super cells. A solar photovoltaic system may comprise two or more such high voltage solar cell modules electrically connected in parallel with each other and to an inverter. Solar cell cleaving tools and solar cell cleaving methods apply a vacuum between bottom surfaces of a solar cell wafer and a curved supporting surface to flex the solar cell wafer against the curved supporting surface and thereby cleave the solar cell wafer along one or more previously prepared scribe lines to provide a plurality of solar cells.
