Abstract: A system, method, apparatus, and computer program product for ultrasonic clinical decision support. The system allows for the utilization of a conventional ultrasonic imaging device that can be coupled to an enhanced image processing engine to provide improved visualization of a condition of underlying tissues to show tissue boundary layers in a morphological conversion of an analog ultrasound image into a pure digital image. The CDSS provides for expedited acquisition and delivery of processed ultrasound images to the attending physician in a manner that enables fast 3D imaging and fast tracking of the patient condition. The system processes and analyzes classic analog B-Mode ultrasound, converts them into digital images, identifying hypoechoic structures in the process, thus permitting an objective evaluation of tissue integrity. The CDSS provides observational metrics applied to the data to give a quantified numerical evaluation instead of a subjective guess.

Abstract: A multi-engine malicious code scanning method for scanning data sets from a storage device is provided. The method includes, among other steps obtaining at least one data set from a storage device and generating a single forensic image of the data set and also applying a recover data application to the data set to generate a single recovered data set. A scanning is initiated of the single forensic image and the single recovered data set using the selected plurality of malware engines, where each of the malware engines, installed on the independent operating systems of the virtual operating system may be run concurrently on the single forensic image and the single recovered data set. A report is generated combining each of the malware engines reporting the results of the scans.

Abstract: An oxygen scanning device includes a console unit. The console unit includes a light source emitting excitation radiation and a detector configured to receive and detect phosphorescence radiation. The device includes a needle sensor operably, optically coupled to the console unit by an optical fiber movably received within a transparent tube housing the optical fiber, the transparent tube being coated by an oxygen-sensitive dye material on an outer side thereof. The optical fiber is terminated by a 45 degree reflecting surface at a distal end thereof wherein excitation radiation is directed to the oxygen sensitive dye material and phosphorescence radiation from the oxygen sensitive material is returned from the oxygen sensitive material to the detector.

Abstract: A hand-washing monitor and hand washing monitoring system are provided. The hand-washing monitoring system includes a motion detector mounted near, to or in a sink and configured to detect a scrubbing motion near an outlet of a sink faucet and a user wearable smart button device that interacts with the motion detector. The system includes a processor coupled to the motion detector and smart button device and a memory coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to monitor the motion detector for signals indicative of the scrubbing motion that is continuous during a predetermined scrubbing interval and to provide signal indicating a successful scrubbing operation when the scrubbing motion is continuously detected during the entire interval to the smart button device. The hand-washing monitor includes a housing containing the processor, the motion detector, the memory and proximity sensors for detecting the application of soap.

Abstract: A method and system of acquisition and processing of data representing oxygen saturation (OS) value of a tissue of a visual system of a subject, such as the optic nerve head and overlying artery and vein. The data is acquired at pre-determined discrete spectral points, including at least two isosbestic points, as a discrete reflectance spectrum, with the use of a multi-spectral optical imaging system that simultaneously produces a plurality of two-dimensional spectrally-discrete images by segmenting an incoming light front with secondary objectives. The OS value is assessed based on determination of areas bound by an acquired discrete reflectance spectrum and an isosbestic line.

Abstract: A gas sensor assembly detects a constituent in a gaseous stream. The assembly comprises: (a) a mounting surface, (b) a sensor mounted on the mounting surface and sensor capable of generating a detectable signal in the presence of the constituent, and (c) an enclosing structure. The enclosing structure comprises: (i) a walled component having a pair of vertically spaced ends and mounted at one end on the mounting surface so as to circumscribe the sensor, and (ii) a gas-permeable membrane attached at the other end of the walled component, thereby defining an interior volume within said enclosing structure. Flowing the gaseous stream across the membrane infuses a portion of the gaseous stream into said interior volume containing the sensor.

Abstract: A gas sensor for sensing a gas stream constituent includes, mounted a substrate, a first gas-sensing element capable of sensing the constituent in a first concentration range, a reference element insensitive to the constituent and having electrical properties congruent with the first gas-sensing element, a heating element substantially circumscribing the first gas-sensing element and the reference element, a temperature-sensing element circumscribing the first gas-sensing element and the reference element, and a second gas-sensing element capable of sensing the constituent in a second concentration range. The first gas-sensing element and the reference element are preferably metal-gated metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) solid-state devices. The gas sensor is particularly configured to sense hydrogen concentration in a gas stream.
