  • Publication number: 20180361062
    Abstract: A physiologic sensor module includes at least one wearable sensor that is configured for wearing on a human body part and for measuring at least one biological signal. The module further includes at least one controller communicatively coupled to the wearable sensor and configured to receive the biological signal from the wearable sensor. The controller is further configured to process the biological signal in real-time, extract one or more clinical features from the biological signal, and based on the clinical features, determine detection of anaphylaxis.

  • Publication number: 20180333533
    Abstract: An injector module includes a housing, a reservoir, a superelastic needle, and an actuator. The reservoir is positioned in the housing and stores epinephrine therein. The superelastic needle is positioned within the housing in a retracted position and is fluidly coupled with the reservoir. The superelastic needle has a gauge between eighteen and twenty-five. The actuator is configured to apply an actuator force on the superelastic needle such that the superelastic needle is moved from the retracted position to an injecting position where a tip of the superelastic needle protrudes from the housing between about fifteen millimeters and about thirty-five millimeters.

  • Patent number: 6713010
    Abstract: The invention provides a wrapping system for stretch-wrap plastic film. Plastic film (25) is partially pre-stretched by a selected amount and then relaxed prior to winding on a core (14). The film (25) is subsequently further stretched as it is drawn from the core (14) immediately prior to wrapping a load on a pallet, for example. The partial pre-stretching is preferably carried out in a number of steps by leading film (25) from a roll (10) over three rollers (15, 16, 17) in turn. These rollers (15, 16, 17) are driven at different speeds, the third roller (17) having a greater speed than the second roller (16) which in turn has a greater speed than the first roller (15). Thus, the film (25) is stretched in three steps prior to relaxing the film (25) and winding the relaxed film (25) on a core (14). The core (14) can be mounted on a hand-held dispenser which applies the final stretch to the film (25).

  • Patent number: 6125158
    Abstract: The disclosure describes a multi-stage phase comparator and a phase-locked loop incorporating such a comparator. The comparator measures a phase difference between a reference signal and an output signal using a periodic clock. The comparator is a two stage comparator comprising a fine and coarse comparator. The coarse comparator measures the number of full clock periods between a transition of the reference signal and the output signal. The fine comparator comprises a delay line generator that generates a plurality of delayed clocks. The delayed clocks are used to over sample the reference signal to determine a fine phase difference representing a remaining fraction of the clock period, between transitions of the reference and output signals. A phase locked loop using the multi-stage comparator allows for more accurate phase locking.
