  • Patent number: 12213032
    Abstract: A single- or multiple-user messaging-based logging system automatically incorporates external data and ensures that every communication has complete metadata of relevant metrics, enables easy real-time visualization and reflection on those metrics, and ensures that the structured log entry is recorded by understanding the natural communication (text, voice, images, etc.) among participants without requiring a separate step of logging the action. In embodiments, one or more devices are alerted immediately based on which caregivers are predicted via sensors and automatic and manual configurations are most likely to be able to meaningfully and quickly correct the alertable condition. Embodiments also leverage feedback about the correction of the alertable condition to terminate alerts on other devices or feedback about the non-correction of the alertable condition to re-assign and escalate an alert to other devices and caregivers for them to have a follow-up chance to correct the alertable condition.

  • Patent number: 8879062
    Abstract: An analysis apparatus includes a plasma generation unit and an optical analysis unit. The plasma generation unit generates initial plasma by momentarily energizing a target substance to be turned into a plasma state, and maintains the target substance in the plasma state by irradiating the initial plasma with an electromagnetic wave for a predetermined period of time. The optical analysis unit identifies the target substance based on information with respect to emission intensity during a period from when the emission intensity reaches a peak due to the initial plasma until when the emission intensity increases and reaches approximately a constant value due to electromagnetic wave plasma maintained by the electromagnetic wave, or information with respect to emission intensity after the electromagnetic wave irradiation is terminated.
