Abstract: To identify physiological states that are predictive of a person's performance, a system provides physiological and behavioral interfaces and a data processing pipeline. Physiological sensors generate physiological data about the person while performing a task. The behavioral interface generates performance data about the person while performing the task. The pipeline collects the physiological and performance data along with reference data from a population of people performing the same or similar tasks. In various implementations, the physiological states are brain states. In one implementation, the pipeline computes bandpower ratios.

Abstract: Embodiments herein may present an integrated circuit or a computing system having an integrated circuit, where the integrated circuit includes a physical network layer, a physical computing layer, and a physical memory layer, each having a set of dies, and a die including multiple tiles. The physical network layer further includes one or more signal pathways dynamically configurable between multiple pre-defined interconnect topologies for the multiple tiles, where each topology of the multiple pre-defined interconnect topologies corresponds to a communication pattern related to a workload. At least a tile in the physical computing layer is further arranged to move data to another tile in the physical computing layer or a storage cell of the physical memory layer through the one or more signal pathways in the physical network layer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: A healthcare system that includes a form engine configured to generate an interface specifically for individuals with differing cognitive abilities (e.g., children). The interface includes form fields and visual elements to receive health care and feedback data for storage in persistent data store. The visual elements can relate to requests for information and can also relate to responses to those requests. The visual elements are mapped to form fields. The healthcare system automatically populates field values corresponding to the form fields based on detected interactions with the visual elements at the interface.

Abstract: An enhancement for a peristaltic pump that, in a particular embodiment, can be a thin concave spring member or other mechanism with at least one tubing notch adapted to be mounted on a peristaltic pump frame such that peristaltic pump tubing can pass through a notch in the spring member, through the peristaltic pump and through a notch in a similar thin concave spring member mounted on an opposite side of said peristaltic pump so that the spring members prevent tube-stretching or deformation of the tubing. Numerous other embodiments are possible. All of the embodiments allow attaching a first and second notched spring-clamp or other tubing holder onto the input and output sides of a peristaltic pump frame; threading peristaltic pump tubing through a notch or other part in a first spring-clamp or tubing holder, through the peristaltic pump and through a notch or other part in a second spring-clamp or tubing holder.

Abstract: A system is provided for containing an animal in a defined area. The system comprises first, second, and third communicating units. One of the first two units defines a containment area, and the other unit is operatively associated with the animal. One of the first two units transmits an ultrasonic timing signal at a periodic interval, and the other unit receives the timing signal, and determining a distance between the first and second units. If the distance corresponds to the animal being outside the containment area, one of the first two units generates a warning signal. A third unit monitors whether or not the animal is within the defined area.

Abstract: A peristaltic pump design with single or dual feed tubes each engaged by a peristaltic rotor with rollers bearing against the feed tubes to compress and release them, the feed tube(s) being coupled to a junction with a single outlet fitting, and an integral optical system exposed inside the junction and coupled to a closed loop controller drive system for real-time monitoring of the precision dispensing requirements of the pump. The junction defines an optical path length and has a detector module and one or more source modules, at least the detector being connected to a closed loop controller drive system to form a “junction integrated optical analysis system”. The light source emits light that is transmitted into the junction across the optical path length, and any optical change in the analysis region is observed and used as feedback to control the pump drive system. Optical detection can be based on absorbance, fluorescence, scattered light or any combination.

Abstract: An improved needle and nozzle design that allows for precision dispensing and mixing of fluids by assist of an integral optical system coupled to a closed loop controller drive system for real-time monitoring of the small volume precision dispensing requirements of bioscience applications. The needles/nozzles have an optically-transmissive wall or window coupled to an optical system including an optical detector and light source, at least the detector being connected to a closed loop controller drive system (e.g., a “needle/nozzle integrated optical analysis system”). Optical detection can be based on fluorescence, scattered light, absorbance, or a combination, and any optical change in the analysis region can be observed via the transmitted/reflected light and used as feedback to control the pump drive system. Alternate embodiments are shown in which optical fibers or rods are used for coupling the detector to the needle/nozzle, and a lens is used for coupling the fiber(s)/rods into the needle/nozzle.

Abstract: Novel nanowell microarrays are disclosed in optical contact with polymer waveguides wherein evanescent field associated with lightwaves propagated in the waveguide excite target substances in the nanowells either by a common waveguide or by individual waveguides. Fluid samples are conveyed to the nanowells by means of microfluidics. The presence of the target substances in fluid samples is detected by sensing fluorescent radiation generated by fluorescent tag bound to the target substances. The fluorescent tags generate fluorescent radiation as a result of their excitation by the evanescent field. One or more PMT detectors or a CCD detector are located at the side of the waveguide opposite to the nanowells. Fluorescent radiation is detected due to its coupling with the waveguide or its emission through the waveguide.

Abstract: A positive displacement pump design that allows optical analysis of the fluids being pumped, mixed or sorted, via optical detection within the pump itself. Various embodiments of the device are disclosed, one employing a glass rod as a piston that gives the ability to convey optical light into the pump cylinder and collect light back out. Another employs a piston rod that encapsulates one or more optical fibers coupled to a gradient index lens at the distal end of the piston rod. A third embodiment comprises an optical fiber that serves directly as a piston actuator rod inserted through the capillary channel of a ceramic ferrule that slidably seats and aligns the optical fiber/piston actuator rod. In all embodiments the pump and detection system can be controlled and synchronized by a microprocessor, and optical detection can be based on fluorescence, scattered light, absorbance, or both.
