Abstract: A system for patient data exchange is provided and includes a plurality of sensors monitoring a patient according to a default sensor configuration, and a patient data exchange engine that receives a request comprising one or more parameters, identifies at least one applicable sensor from the plurality of sensors based on the one or more parameters, and reconfigures the at least one applicable sensor from the default sensor configuration to a different sensor configuration in accordance with the one or more parameters to generate applicable sensor data responsive to the request. In specific embodiments, the patient data exchange engine further computes a monetary value for the generated sensor data based at least on an attribute of the patient and an attribute of the sensor data.

Abstract: An apparatus for real time monitoring of a patient is provided and includes a memory element for storing data, a processor that executes instructions associated with the data, an interface that receives sensor data from a sensor that takes measurements from the patient and sends the sensor data according to the sensor's measurement latency, a latency calculator that frequently calculates a latency threshold that varies according to at least a health status of the patient, a timer that continuously monitors the sensor's measurement latency, a comparator that frequently compares the sensor's measurement latency with the calculated latency threshold, and a feedback module that automatically changes the sensor's measurement latency to match with the calculated latency threshold.

Abstract: An amusement park ride assembly includes a sphere which has a diameter sufficiently large for accommodating a plurality of passengers. The sphere is comprised of a translucent material to facilitate the plurality of passengers to see through the sphere. A seating unit is pivotally disposed within the sphere such that the seating unit remains in an upright orientation when the sphere is rolling. The seating unit has a plurality of chairs to facilitate each of the passengers to occupy a respective one of the chairs. A plurality of tubes is each integrated into a structural framework. Each of the tubes has a diameter is sufficient to facilitate the sphere to roll through a respective one of the tubes to facilitate the passengers in the sphere to enjoy a thrilling ride.

Abstract: A method and system comprises extracting resources required to run a discrete test case or set of associated test cases on a design. The method and system further includes building a simulation model based on the extracted resources and executing the simulation model using only the extracted resources, exclusive of an entire design, to test a specific function or group of interrelated functions represented by the discrete test case or set of associated test cases for design verification, and correlating the simulation results with the test plan.

Abstract: The invention includes a zebrafish assay for cardiac response.

Abstract: An arrangement and method for treating cardiac abnormalities and/or inconsistencies are provided. In particular, a fluid is introduced to a target area within a heart of a subject. Preferably, a volume of the target area which receives the fluid is less than a volume of the heart, and the volume of the target area which receives the fluid is independent from a manner of introducing the fluid to the target area. For example, the volume of the target area which receives the fluid is less than the volume of the heart regardless of whether the fluid is introduced systemically or locally. The arrangement may also include an energy source adapted to transmit energy, such as light, to at least one portion of the target area.
