Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a passive optical network (PON) extender. The methods comprise: receiving, by the PON extender, a first optical signal from a remote node device of a passive optical network via a first optical link; amplifying the first optical signal using a Raman amplifier of the PON extender to obtain a first Raman amplified optical signal; amplifying the first Raman amplified optical signal using a first optical amplifier of the PON extender to obtain an amplified uplink signal (wherein the first optical amplifier is different than the Raman amplifier); and passing the amplified uplink signal to an optical line terminal via a second optical link (wherein the optical line terminal is disposed locally at a hub site along with the PON extender).

Abstract: A body worn device, including a chassis and a functional suite supported by the chassis, wherein the device is configured to be worn on a recipient of a prosthesis, and the device is configured such that the functional suite automatically provides second functionality when the chassis is removed from the body of the recipient, the second functionality being related to the prosthesis.

Abstract: Chromatic dispersion compensation is performed in one or more pluggable optical transceiver (POT) devices operating within an intensity-modulated direct-detection (IMDD) optical network. Compensation is performed within each POT using an electrical and/or optical chromatic dispersion module which are controlled by a set of parameters. A network computing device includes a computer processor and a host management interface for communicating with the POT. In the event of a link failure, the computer processor determines a second set of parameters to control the one or more dispersion compensation module(s) of the POT. The second set of parameters are different from a first set of parameters used to control the one or more compensation module(s) in the case of a first optical path. The computer processor causes the POT to use the second set of parameters in place of the first set of parameters.

Abstract: Objective Pulmonary Function (PF) evaluation for respiratory fatigue is vital to the diagnosis and management of many pediatric respiratory diseases in the intensive care, emergency and outpatient settings. A non-invasive PF instrument utilizes sensors and software to access respiratory breathing patterns, vital parameters, asynchrony and measures the work of breathing. Software algorithms predict respiratory fatigue. The hardware includes a microcircuit board that individually links to rib cage (RC) and abdominal (ABD) inductance bands. The bands wirelessly transmit changes in RC and ABD circumference. Point-of-care, real-time indices of respiratory work, breathing patterns and respiratory fatigue indices are developed on a user-friendly graphical user interface. The diagnostic data can later be securely emailed as an attachment for entry into patients' electronic medical records or sent to a caretaker's computer, or used directly to control a respiratory therapy device.

Abstract: Devices and systems for monitoring and measuring arterial carbon dioxide include an occlusive earpiece, a housing and a carbon dioxide sensor. The occlusive earpiece is configured to provide a hermetic seal enclosing a patient's external auditory canal, and the hermetic seal creates equilibration between airspace contained in the external auditory canal and the arterial blood vessels. The carbon dioxide sensor measures arterial carbon dioxide levels in arterial blood vessels of a patient's tympanic membrane and external auditory canal and may be located within the housing or at a proximal or distal end of the occlusive earpiece. A pressure sensor may also be provided to measure pressure changes in a patient's ear. The occlusive earpiece may define a tube running therethrough and may have a diffusible membrane that allows diffusion of carbon dioxide into the tube.

Abstract: An apparatus worn on the wrist of a tennis or Pickleball player for keeping score during tennis or Pickleball comprising an absorbent wrist sweatband upon which is detachably mounted (by means such as Velcro, snaps, clips etc.), in such a way as to accommodate easy, rapid removal and reattachment by hand, absent the need for tools and without the need to remove any connecting parts between the processor/display unit and the wrist sweatband, a small “watch-like” processor/display unit which, in response to points inputted by the player, displays the tennis or pickleball scores.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods for providing accurate and reliable compact sonar systems for mobile structures. In one embodiment, a sonar system includes a mounting bracket, a transducer support arm, and a pivoting mechanism pivotably coupling the transducer support arm to the mounting bracket such that, for forces acting on the transducer support arm that are less than a preselected kick-up level, the pivoting mechanism holds the transducer support arm against such forces and at a user selectable first angular position relative to the mounting bracket, and for forces acting on the transducer support arm that are equal to or greater than the preselected kick-up level, allows the transducer support arm to be moved by those forces to a second angular position relative to the mounting bracket.
