Abstract: A sleep monitoring and disturbance mitigation system may include a sleep status monitoring apparatus configured to collect real-time sleep data from a subject; to determine a sleep status based at least partially on the sleep data; and to transmit the real-time sleep data and sleep status to a remote receiving station; and a remote receiving station configured to receive the real-time sleep status data and the sleep status from the sleep status monitoring apparatus; to generate, based at least partially on the real-time sleep data and sleep status, a sleep disturbance priority and a sleep disturbance message including data indicative of the sleep status and the sleep disturbance priority; and to display the sleep disturbance priority message on a display located remotely from the sleep status monitoring apparatus. The sleep status monitoring apparatus may be configured to wirelessly transmit the real-time sleep data and sleep status. Real-time sleep data may include EEG data.

Abstract: Apparatus for permitting an individual to unsheath and resheath the needles of hypodermic syringes, catheters, etc., with the use of only one hand. The apparatus permits free use of the individual's other hand when such is required, e.g., when restraint of the patient is necessary in order to properly and safely administer an injection from a hypodermic needle or the like. The apparatus securely holds and positions a medical needle sheath during such times that a medical needle is removed from and reinserted into the sheath.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention there is provided an apparatus for permitting an individual to unsheath and resheath the needles of hypodermic syringes, catheters, etc., with the use of only one hand. Consequently, the present invention permits free use of the individual's other hand when such is required, e.g., when restraint of the patient is necessary in order to properly and safely administer an injection from a hypodermic needle or the like. The apparatus securely holds and positions a medical needle sheath during such times that a medical needle is removed from and reinserted into the sheath.
