Abstract: A system and method for charging battery packs is provided. The system may include a charging pad comprising a power supply, a charging pad surface, and a microcontroller unit. The power supply may provide charging power. The charging pad surface may include a first charging region and a second charging region. The microcontroller unit may control delivery of charging power to the first charging region and the second charging region such that a device placed in contact with the first charging region is given a higher charging priority than a device placed in contact with the second charging region.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for determining sleep disorder appliance compliance. Embodiments include receiving, in a sleep disorder compliance module through one or more sensors of an earpiece worn within an ear of a sleeping patient, information regarding the sleep of the patient; deriving, by the sleep disorder compliance module from the information regarding the sleep of the patient, one or more biometric values capable of indicating whether the patient is using a sleep disorder appliance; and determining, by the sleep disorder compliance module, whether the one or more biometric values indicate that the sleeping patient is presently using the sleep disorder appliance.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for administering a sleep disorder are provided. Embodiments include receiving, in a sleep administration module through one or more sensors of an earpiece worn within an ear of a sleeping patient, information regarding the sleep of the patient; deriving, by the sleep administration module from the information regarding the sleep of the patient, one or more biometric values capable of indicating the existence of a sleep disorder; and determining, by the sleep administration module, whether the one or more biometric values indicate that the sleeping patient is presently experiencing a sleep disorder.

Abstract: Method, systems, and products are provided for sleep study. Embodiments include receiving, by a sleep study module, one or more biometric values capable of indicating the existence of a sleep disorder, the biometric values derived from information regarding the sleep of a patient sensed by one or more sensors of an earpiece worn within an ear of a sleeping patient; and recording, by the sleep study module, the plurality of biometric values for evaluation of the patient's sleep.
