Abstract: A card game for 2-7 players. The game consists of seven (7) “Rounds.” At the end of seven (7) “Rounds” the player with the lowest score wins. A “Round” is complete when a player sheds all cards from a “Hand.” A “Hand” is a card set dealt by the Dealer to each player at the beginning of each “Round.” Every player starts with a “Hand” consisting of seven (7) or fourteen (14) cards, dealt face down. The object of the game is to shed cards from your “Hand” by making “Books.” “Books” may contain two cards adding to seven (7) or four or more cards adding to a number that is a multiple of seven (7), such as 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, etc. Once the original “Hand” is dealt, the “Round” begins by dealing one card from the Dealer Deck, face up, to the first player on the dealers left.

Abstract: A system for patient monitoring includes a plurality of non-integrated components including a display, a monitor, one or more modules, and at least one patient parameter measuring device. The display includes a flat glass front with a blackened border that appears continuous but allows the passage of light during alarm situations. The display includes a housing with openings on the right and left sides which allow the passage of light during alarm situations. The display also includes a prominent programmable button which enables easy alarm silencing. The monitor can be fixedly attached to the back of the display in a “backpack mounting” configuration to free up bedside space. Optional monitor and display cabinets are capable of housing power supplies and cables and provide for additional free space. The monitor, module(s), and patient parameter measuring device(s) are all interconnected via Dual Serial Bus (DSB) interfaces.

Abstract: The present specification discloses a ventilator system that can be manufactured quickly with minimal skill requirements and rapidly deployed in response to epidemic respiratory disease conditions. In one embodiment, the ventilator, having a minimal number of controls, is used to give ventilation or mechanical breathing to a patient suffering ARDS. The mechanical ventilation is based on pressure control and has variable pressure, breathing rate, and oxygenation. Preferably, the ventilator is rapidly deployable, easy and intuitive to operate, and capable of sustaining at least 75% of epidemic respiratory distress victims who require assisted ventilation until resuming normal breathing.

Abstract: A system for providing patient care includes acquiring, consolidating, distributing, storing and displaying medical data using cell phone platforms and non-proprietary hardware and software modules. The system includes sensing devices, acquisition devices, network appliances, cloud computing and storage, and presentation devices. Sensing devices are connected to acquisition devices via wired or wireless connections. Sensing acquisition devices can be used in a caregiver facility and in an outpatient environment and can connect to the cloud via cell phone (3G/4G) networks. Clinical data is sent in encrypted messages having only the header encoded using a standard scripting language, such as Lua. Presentation devices include computers, tablets, cell phones, and wall-mounted displays and can be located anywhere, enabling greater accessibility of patient data by caregivers.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of ventilators, and, more specifically, to a ventilator system that addresses respiratory distress due to the onset of an epidemic or pandemic disease state. In particular, the present invention is a ventilator system that can be manufactured quickly with minimal skill requirements and employed rapidly in response to epidemic respiratory disease conditions.

In particular, the present invention is a ventilator system that can be manufactured quickly with minimal skill requirements and employed rapidly in response to epidemic respiratory disease conditions. In one embodiment, the present invention is directed toward a ventilator having a gas input, an inhalation conduit connected to the gas input, a patient flow control valve, operably connected to the gas input via the inhalation conduit, a patient interface, separated from the inhalation conduit by the flow control valve, and a gas shut-off mechanism that senses a pressure state in the inhalation conduit.

Abstract: A collection system for collecting medical information. The collection system comprises a collection server and multiple collection kiosks. A collection kiosk is a computer system attached to various devices for collecting medical information. The collection kiosks may be located at various locations, such as in drug stores or pharmacies. A person can use the collection kiosks to collect and store their medical information. The collection kiosks may have a user interface through which a person can enter a user identifier and password to obtain access to their stored medical information. Whenever a user wants to collect current medical information, the user would go to a collection kiosk, log on to the kiosk, and have their medical information collected and then stored.

Abstract: A wet oxidation/reduction electrolytic cell stack, system, and method for the remediation of contaminated water is disclosed. A porous electrode of large surface area produces powerful oxidizing agents in situ without having to add any reagents, oxidizers, or catalysts to the water to be treated. Further, by the appropriate selection of electrode material, organic contaminants may be absorbed onto the surface of the electrode and subsequently oxidized to provide a dynamically renewable porous electrode surface. Flow rates, and power requirements may be tailored to the specific moieties to be removed, thus allowing local treatment of specific waste streams resulting in direct discharge to a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) or surface water discharge. A novel feature of this invention is the ability to remove both organic and metal contaminants without the addition of treatment reagents or catalysts.

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel ozone generator device for the production of high concentrations of ozone by way of a design that permits a process environment that is consonant with the optimum values of hardware and operating variables that thermodynamically favor the production of ozone. The device is characterized by a small corona chamber resulting in a low oxygen retention time, a thermally conductive ducted core permitting circulation of a coolant for cooling the feed oxygen and produced ozone, a spherical corona chamber and electrode geometry promoting a homogeneous high electric field density, operating pressures as high as 2000 psi, free expansion cooling of the oxygen at both the inlet and outlet ports of the device, and the selection of an electrode that ensures the production and maintenance of a homogeneous corona. Also disclosed is a closed-loop ozone generator system wherein unused feed oxygen is recovered and recycled for further processing by the system.
