  • Publication number: 20060089542
    Abstract: A system to increase compliance with patient monitoring protocols for patients with chronic disease. The system uses a wireless telecommunication device as the hub of the system. The hub is configured to increase patient compliance with a monitoring protocol by being integrated with a mobile device, such as a cellular phone or PDA, that the patient normally carries or wears. The hub is further configured to increase compliance by displaying games that incorporate monitored conditions and providing rewards to the patient when he complies with the monitoring protocol. The hub receives physiological data about the patient from a medical sensor then collates the sensed data with certain data input by the patient. The reading is transmitted to a server that uses a software application to automatically examine and interpret the data. Alerts are sent to the health care provider only when the reading is outside specified parameters.

  • Patent number: 6817541
    Abstract: An ozone system for agricultural applications generally includes a water flow line having an inlet for receiving a flow of clean water from a water source, an ozone injector suitable for producing a high concentration of ozone in oxygen, and a venturi injector for injecting the ozone gas into the water flowing through the flow line to produce an ozonated water stream. In addition, the system includes a degassing assembly for separating and removing undissolved ozone gas from the ozonated water stream and an ozone destruct assembly adapted to destroy the undissolved ozone. The entire system is motorized vehicle mountable to provide ease in applying the ozonated water stream from the system to agricultural crops.

  • Patent number: 6499671
    Abstract: An ozone system for agricultural applications generally includes a water flow line having an inlet for receiving a flow of clean water from a water source, an ozone injector suitable for producing a high concentration of ozone in oxygen, preferably from oxygen-enriched air, and a venturi injector for injecting the ozone gas into the water flowing through the flow line to produce an ozonated water stream. The system preferably including a spray assist assembly which provides a stream of gaseous component to assist in dispensing the ozonated water fro agricultural application. The entire system, or at least a substantial portion of the system, is mountable on a motorized vehicle to provide ease in applying the ozonated water stream from the system to agricultural crops, particularly living grapevines.
