The controller perform operations including detecting the condition of the mechanical thermal detector and operating the mattress climate-control system based on the condition of the mechanical thermal detector.

Abstract: A bed system includes microclimate control capabilities for providing quality sleep experience. The bed system can include a microclimate control subsystem configured to supply conditioned air (e.g., heated or cooled air) to a mattress, or draw ambient air from the mattress, to achieve a desired temperature at the top of the mattress. Utilizing supply of conditioned air to provide air at desired temperature to the mattress system, or utilizing air suction to drain heat away from the mattress system, can provide precise microclimate control at the mattress, thereby permitting conformable sleep.

Abstract: A bed senses inter-sleep-session changes in bodyweight of a subject. A computer system can be configured to: receive weight readings; determine, using the weight readings, user presence in a bed; identify, using the user presence, sleep sessions for the user; and generate, using the weight readings and for a given sleep session, weight change data that records a change of weight by the user through the sleep session.

Abstract: A bed has a mattress comprising one or more air-chambers. A pressure adjuster is configured to adjust pressure in the mattress. One or more pressure sensors are configured to sense a pressure of the mattress and transmit, to a controller, pressure readings. A controller comprising is configured to receive, from each of the pressure sensors, pressure readings; determine a pressure value for the mattress; determine if the pressure value for the mattress is above a maximum-target-pressure, wherein the maximum-target-pressure corresponds to a maximum-possible sleeper-value, the maximum-possible sleeper-value being a greatest value for a sleeper-value defining a firmness for the mattress, the bed having a maximum operational value describing a greatest pressure value at which the system functions normally; and responsive to determining that the pressure value for the mattress value is above the maximum-possible sleeper-value, send instructions to the pressure adjuster to adjust the pressure of the mattress.

Abstract: Described are systems for beds that can include sensors for sensing physical phenomena in an environment surrounding a bed, a display for outputting information about the environment, the bed, and a sleeper, and a controller communicably coupled to the sensors. The controller can receive the sensed physical phenomena from the sensors, analyze the physical phenomena to determine at least one of environmental, sleep, and health metrics of a sleeper in the bed, and determine, based on at least one of the environmental, sleep, and health metrics of the sleeper, control signals to modify the environment surrounding the bed. The controller can also output, at the display, the environmental, sleep, and health metrics of the sleeper. The controller can also transmit the control signals to a second controller in order to engage a home automation device. The physical phenomena can include ambient sound, ambient light, ambient CO2 concentration, and/or ambient temperature.

The cartridge device is configured with one or more measuring chambers and one or more mixing chambers that are fluidically connected within the cartridge device that enable the mixing of saline and a blood sample to a desired dilution. Additionally, the cartridge device is further configured with a cartridge slider that provides a reagent bead to the saline and blood mixture at a desired time. As such, one or more platelet activation assays can be conducted by measuring, through cartridge electrodes of the cartridge device, the detectable changes in platelet activity within the blood and saline mixture.
