Abstract: A modular scent dispenser may include a drum with chambers that can be inserted into the drum. The chambers may contain different scent essence fluids in order to disperse different scents, and may include mechanical components such as pumps and actuators in order to effectuate scent dispensing. The drum and chambers may be inserted into a housing, which in turn may include motors and other mechanical components for use in actuating the actuators and rotating the drum in order to enable dispensing scents of choice. The scent dispenser including such drum, chambers, and housing may further include computing components such as a scanner in order to scan machine-readable and writeable tags, which may be utilized to determine positions of compartments in the drum and/or scent essences disposed in chambers.

Abstract: A system and method for delivering olfactograms. A method includes determining a scent availability of a scent dispensing device based on a plurality of scent essence statuses, wherein each scent essence status at least includes an amount of a respective scent essence disposed in the scent dispensing device; causing a plurality of scent options to be presented to a user via a user device, wherein the plurality of scent options is based on the scent availability; generating data indicating at least one scent to be dispensed by the scent dispensing device based on at least one user input provided by the user via the user device in response to the presentation of the plurality of scent options to the user; and transmitting the generated data, wherein the scent dispensing device is configured to dispense the at least one scent based on the transmitted data.

Abstract: Electronically controlled scent producer includes: a body, having plurality of chambers and actuators, each chamber receiving a respective scent essence, each actuator respective of a chamber and having actuator port, a first motor and second motor, and a local control unit, responsive of scent emission instructions configured to selectively activate second motor to displace body, to align a selected actuator port of an actuator respective of the selected chamber with a nozzle of a housing, and to selectively activate first motor to induce emission of the scent essence contained in selected chamber through selected actuator port, so as to produce a scent emission directed to external environment through nozzle.

Abstract: A system and method for olfactory training using scent dispensing devices. A method includes determining olfactory training inputs; generating training exercise data, wherein the training exercise data includes instructions for dispensing scents; causing the execution of the training exercises by at least dispensing scents via a scent dispensing device; obtaining training results data based on user inputs received during the training exercise; and determining a plan for a next stage of training based on the training results data.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein provide a combination of measurement channels each having a pair of measuring sub-channels. Each sub-channel measures the glucose concentration by monitoring a physical variable dependent on the glucose concentration in the subject's tissue. The subchannels of each measurement channel are orthogonal towards a common disturbance acting on each subchannel of the apparatus. Ultrasonic, electromagnetic, and thermal channels may be implemented. The non-invasive glucose monitor comprises a processing unit, which drives these sub-channels' sensors. The sensors may be located on a sensor unit configured as an ear clip. The sensor unit may include ultrasonic piezo transducers positioned on opposing portions of the ear clip and thus configured to be on opposite sides of the ear lobe, capacitor plates positioned on opposing portions of the ear clip, and a heater and a sensor positioned on the ear clip in close juxtaposition to the ear lobe.

Abstract: A hinge pin joint for facilitating precise separation of the jaws of a spring clip, including a base cylinder with a threaded bore, supports extending laterally out from the base cylinder, pin supports capable of pivoting, and stabilizing wings extending from the pin supports. In one embodiment, the capability of pivoting includes pins that are integral with the pin supports and which extend out laterally from the pin support. An alternate embodiment includes aligned opening in the pin supports into which pins may be inserted. At least one stopper may be disposed on at least one of the pin supports for supporting the upper shell. The stabilizing wings are configured as plates that are semi-rigidly secured in guide structures within the lower shell.

Abstract: In order to increase the accuracy of non-invasive glucose measurement, the device uses a combination of three non-invasive methods: ultrasonic, electromagnetic and thermal. The non-invasive glucose monitor comprises a Main Unit, which drives three different sensor channels (one per technology), located on an external unit configured as an ear clip attached to the subject's ear lobe. To effect the ultrasonic channel, ultrasonic piezo elements are positioned on opposing portions of the ear clip and thus opposite sides of the ear lobe. For implementation of the electromagnetic channel, capacitor plates are positioned on opposing portions of the ear clip and the ear lobe serves as the dielectric. The thermal channel includes a heater and a sensor positioned on the ear clip in close juxtaposition to the ear lobe.
