Abstract: A method for free flow fever screening is presented. The method includes capturing a plurality of frames from thermal data streams and visual data streams related to a same scene to define thermal data frames and visual data frames, detecting and tracking a plurality of individuals moving in a free-flow setting within the visual data frames, and generating a tracking identification for each individual of the plurality of individuals present in a field-of-view of the one or more cameras across several frames of the plurality of frames. The method further includes fusing the thermal data frames and the visual data frames, measuring, by a fever-screener, a temperature of each individual of the plurality of individuals within and across the plurality of frames derived from the thermal data streams and the visual data streams, and generating a notification when a temperature of an individual exceeds a predetermined threshold temperature.

Abstract: An intention decoding apparatus and a decoding method that quickly and precisely analyze brain waves for decoding an intention decision without requiring an advance brain wave measurement for, for example, a calibration step, and an intention conveyance assist apparatus, an intention conveyance assist system, and a program using a decoding result of the intention decision in the brain. The intention decoding apparatus that analyzes brain waves to decode an intention performs a process to examine a dispersion by classifying brain wave data of event-related potentials corresponding to a plurality of stimulus events into any one stimulus event and the other stimulus events among the plurality of stimulus events, on all the stimulus events, and identifies a classification where the dispersion becomes maximum to identify the one stimulus event in the classification as the intention. The intention conveyance assist apparatus includes a presentation unit that presents a decoding result.

Abstract: A multi-sensor blood loss monitor system is provided. Specifically, the blood loss monitor system can include a weight sensor, a volume sensor within an aspirator canister, and an integration device.

The top cover has a gas inlet hole, an accommodation trough, and an outlet channel. An inner wall of the accommodation trough is recessed to form a gas collection chamber in communication with the gas inlet hole, and the outlet channel is connected to a gas bag. The pressure sensor is electrically connected to the driving circuit board. The driving circuit board covers the accommodation trough of the top cover. The operation of the micro pump is controlled by the driving circuit board. The gas is continuously guided to the outlet channel and is converged at the gas bag by the micro pump. When the pressure of the gas in the gas bag measured by the pressure sensor reaches a valve value, the micro pump stops its operation.
