  • Publication number: 20250218221
    Abstract: A system and a method for capturing a movement pattern of a person. The method comprises capturing a plurality of images of the person executing a movement pattern using a non-contact sensor, the plurality of images representing the movements of the body elements of the person, generating at least one skeleton model having limb positions for at least some of the plurality of images, and calculating the movement pattern from the movements of the body elements of the person by comparing changes in the limb positions in the at least one skeleton model generated.

  • Patent number: 12178601
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of conducting a sleep analysis by collecting physiologic and kinetic data from a subject, preferably via a wireless in-home data acquisition system, while the subject attempts to sleep at home. The sleep analysis, including clinical and research sleep studies and cardiorespiratory studies, can be used in the diagnosis of sleeping disorders and other diseases or conditions with sleep signatures, such as Parkinson's, epilepsy, chronic heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, or other neurological, cardiac, pulmonary, or muscular disorders. The method of the present invention can also be used to determine if environmental factors at the subject's home are preventing restorative sleep.

  • Patent number: 12018360
    Abstract: A method for producing an Al—Cr—O-based coating on a workpiece surface, including: a) placing a workpiece in an interior of a vacuum chamber, and b) depositing a film comprising aluminum and chromium on the workpiece surface to be coated, wherein a ratio of aluminum to chromium in the film in atomic percentage has a first value corresponding to Al/Cr?2.3, and c) forming volatile compounds of Cr—O, thereby causing at least part of the chromium contained in the film to leave the film in a form of Cr—O volatile compounds, and d) executing step c) during a period of time, within which the chromium content in the film is reduced until attaining a second value of the ratio of aluminum to chromium in the film in atomic percentage corresponding to Al/Cr?3.5, thereby the film is transformed into a film containing a reduced content of chromium.

  • Patent number: 11930832
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method of sustainably producing an aquaculture meat product by feeding a fish over its dietary cycles an aquaculture feed composition, said method comprising the step of formulating an aquaculture feed composition by replacing all or part of fish oil in the composition with a single microbial source of eicosapentaenoic acid (“EPA”) and docosahex-aenoic acid (“DHA”). In a preferred embodiment, the microbial source comprising DHA and EPA derives from a microorganism/microbe of the genus Schizochytrium or Thraustochytrium.

  • Publication number: 20220125638
    Abstract: Devices can be implanted in an eye to treat glaucoma and/or dry eye. The devices described herein include a body defining a lumen and having first and second ends and external and lumenal surfaces. The body has a length sufficient to provide fluid communication between the anterior chamber and tear film of the eye through the lumen when the device is implanted in the sclera. The body can include a radiused distal edge. A distal end portion of the body can be laterally flared. The body can include a mid-body portion that is laterally narrower than distal and proximal end portions of the body. Methods of treating glaucoma and/or dry eye, wherein the device is implanted in the sclera of an afflicted eye, are also described.
