Abstract: An apparatus includes a vibrational transducer, a placement band, a driver module and a control module. The placement band is configured to hold the vibrational transducer adjacent to the skin surface overlying the cricoid cartilage and trachea region of a patient's neck. The driver module is configured to apply a drive signal to the vibrational transducer. The control module is configured to receive at least one input configured to provide vibrational operating information and control the driver module to cause the vibrational transducer to apply a vibratory stimulation in an amount determined, at least in part, by the vibrational operating information.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for providing real-time alerts regarding the status of agricultural infrastructure resources, which may be stationary and/or mobile, such as water level, water temperature, trough, water pump, drone, and livestock that are equipped with sensors. The system adaptively aggregates and processes the sensed data from multiple resources and animals using low cost readily available wireless local network and sends an alert cost effectively using various messaging methods, such as SMS, MMS, PSTN, VoIP, HTTP, and HTTPS, over various wireless communications networks, such as cellular, satellite, or UHF, depending on availability, cost and quality of service.

Abstract: The inventive subject matter relates to novel antibodies to lacritin splice variants, improved methods for detecting lacritin splice variants, and methods for diagnosing Sjögren's Syndrome.

Abstract: The inventive subject matter relates to compounds of Formula I and Formula II, compositions thereof, and processes for making such compounds as presently claimed and further described herein. The inventive compounds and compositions have antimicrobial properties and are useful as environmental disinfectants, topical cleansers such as topical personal care compositions, sanitizers, preservatives, in water treatment, as permanent or erodible coatings for medical devices and appliances, and in therapeutics.

Abstract: Probiotic composition(s) and/or process(es) thereof. Processes may include applying Janthinobacterium, for example Janthinobacterium lividum, over a host and/or host area(s) to minimize microbe(s) and/or maximize therapeutic effects. A process to minimize a microbe may include applying to skin a composition including isolated Janthinobacterium lividum and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Probiotic composition(s) and/or process(es) thereof may include relatively heat tolerant Janthinobacterium lividum which may produce metabolites, for example violacein up to approximately 29° C. Probiotic composition(s) and/or process(es) thereof may include Janthinobacterium lividum between approximately 25×106 and 6.4×107 cells. Probiotic composition(s) and/or process(es) thereof may include Janthinobacterium lividum which has and/or produces between approximately 18 ?M and 129 ?M of violacein. Probiotic composition(s) and/or process(es) thereof may include a stimulant to maximize metabolites.
