Abstract: A novel technique for matching, merging, and combining a new database record with a master database record is described herein. The technique uses specific fields to compare in a unique exact match and fuzzy match combination to determine if a non-exact matching record pair is indeed a matched pair. Once the match is established, the records are merged or combined to utilize the best information from the two records.

Abstract: A topical nerve activation patch includes electronic circuitry embedded in the patch and electronic circuitry configured to generate an output voltage applied to electrodes. The patch further includes a controller configured to generate a treatment comprising a plurality of activation pulses that form the output voltage, the controller comprising a first real time clock and an oscillator, the treatment comprising electrical stimuli applied to the user via the electrodes. The patch further includes a charge measurement circuit configured to measure an amount of charge applied to the user from the electrical stimuli and a communication link configured to communicate with a remote activation device, the remote activation device comprising a second real time clock. The controller is configured to generate the activation pulses by measuring time intervals using the oscillator and using the second real time clock and the measured time intervals to determine activation times for the activation pulses.

Abstract: A topical nerve stimulation patch includes a substrate, a dermis conforming bottom surface of the substrate, a top outer surface of the substrate, a plurality of electrodes positioned on the patch proximal to the bottom surface and located beneath the top outer surface and coupled to the substrate, a power source and electronic circuitry embedded in the patch and located beneath the top outer surface and coupled to the substrate. The electronic circuitry is configured to generate an electrical stimuli via the electrodes that comprise a plurality of pulses of a target output voltage, and includes a controller configured to generate a first pulse at a first output voltage that is less than the target output voltage and generate a second pulse at a second output voltage that is less than the target output voltage and greater than the first output voltage.
