Abstract: A method and system of guiding disassembly and reassembly of components of a device, is disclosed. A processor captures at least one image of the device at various stages of disassembly. A plurality of components of the device being disassembled is determined in the at least one image of the device based on visual detection of each of the plurality of components by a user. The plurality of components is consecutively numbered in the at least one image to determine a plurality of numbered components based on tapping, by the user, on each of the plurality of components via a user interface. Metadata is added corresponding to the plurality of components in the at least one image via a user interface. The at least one image is stored with the plurality of numbered components, and associated metadata in a database for easy access and retrieval during reassembly.

Abstract: The present invention is a respiratory monitoring device which uses 2+ sensors to map respiratory motion in patients to interpret into a respiratory effort and severity score. The core components of the invention are contact-based sensors that measure relative motion of the chest, abdomen, and/or other key anatomical features, a processing unit which takes in the data from all sensors, an algorithm that analyzes and compares the data from each sensor to understand relative motion and interpret it into clinically-relevant information, and a display screen that shares this information with clinicians. The sensors are connected to each other and the information processing unit which shares data with the screen for display of a respiratory severity score based on analysis of Thoraco-Abdominal Asynchrony (TAA) or similar indicators of respiratory effort as measured by the sensor network and analyzed by the algorithm.

Abstract: A method for using urea sulfate as an anti-microbial agent, anti-mold agent, anti-fungal agent, and pH adjusting compound with the benefit of adding nitrogen and sulfur to the food supply. Urea sulfate provides a fundamental contribution to feed hygiene, as it suppresses the growth of mold and thus restricts the potential effect of mycotoxins. Consequently, feed safety is improved by adding this compound.
