  • Publication number: 20240156442
    Abstract: An apparatus for collecting a nasal specimen includes a device body with a nozzle at a distal end of the device body. The nozzle is configured to interface with a nasal cavity. The apparatus further includes an irrigation path and a collection path within the device body. The collection path may be separate from the irrigation path. The irrigation path is configured to direct a fluid from an irrigation chamber into the nasal cavity in order to dislodge a sample from the nasal cavity. When the fluid flows back out of the nasal cavity, the collection path is configured to direct at least a portion of the fluid and the sample dislodged from the nasal cavity into a collection chamber.

  • Publication number: 20240009552
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems and methods for live action gaming. According to one embodiment, a method facilitates scoring for an in-person, live-action game, for example, a projectile-tag scoring game or the like, involving multiple players. A gaming outfit worn by a first player or a projectile launcher of a second player may determine a shot hit by the second player against the first player based at least in part on detection of an impact of a projectile fired by the projectile launcher with the gaming outfit. A score for the in-person, live-action game may then be updated based on the shot hit.

  • Patent number: 10398811
    Abstract: Medical wound irrigation systems are described that may be used in environments such as hospitals and first aid stations, and for military applications, e.g., for medics and along transport routes for the wounded. The irrigation systems can provide continuous variable pressure for irrigating a wound. For example, in some embodiments, a medical irrigation system can be used to provide a steady pressure level while irrigating about one liter of solution in less than about one minute, e.g., to assist during wound irrigation and debridement. The medical irrigation system may include an air-powered irrigation device, which pressurizes an irrigation solution, such as a cleansing fluid, to create an ejection force. In some embodiments, the medical irrigation system can include a replaceable bottle cap with an inlet for connecting to a source of pressurized fluid (e.g., pressurized gas, such as pressurized air) and an outlet for the irrigation solution/cleansing fluid.
