  • Publication number: 20220225935
    Abstract: Disclosed is a smart, physiology monitoring mouthguard (SPMM) system and method for capturing various physiological data of athletes in real-time for health monitoring. The system is configured to provide real-time and/or recorded physiological data of an athlete to a user, and may be configured to record physiological data of the athlete for later retrieval using sensors and communication systems. Sensors may be chosen based on the anticipated activity or sport, the health and age of the athlete, and size and power requirements of the device. Sensors may include accelerometers, gyroscopes, thermometers, hydrometers, pH, electrolyte (e.g., potassium, sodium, etc.) sensors, and the like. These and other sensors may be configured to measure different physiological data of the athlete, including impact, body temperature, hydration, illness, heart rate, and the like. In some embodiments, sensors on the mouthguard are integrated with external sensors (e.g.

  • Patent number: 10218144
    Abstract: A method of bonding an RE:XAB gain medium to a heat spreader includes using a bonding solution of sodium silicate with concentration of sodium silicate is Na2O at 21.2% and SiO2 at 53% with PH>=11 mixed with nano-pure water in a 1:1 ration. Applying the bonding solution onto either a surface of the RE:XAB or a surface of the heat spreader, aligning the RE:XAB and the heat spreader, applying pressure to draw the surfaces of the RE:XAB gain medium and the heat spreader together thereby uniformly spreading the bonding solution; and then curing the bonding solution.

  • Patent number: 4222741
    Abstract: A process for treatment of mechanically removed porcine skins for the production of edible gelatin or of both gelatin and leather, the present invention provides a step-wise method for chemical dehairing and degreasing of the skin, which method offers an environmentally more acceptable procedure for dehairing, degreasing, and ultimately treating the skin to produce gelatin and leather, the quality of the ultimate products being uncommonly high. The dehaired and degreased skin can then be processed for conventional gelatin production or said skin can be mechanically split into a grain layer for leather or gelatin production and a flesh layer for conventional gelatin or leather production.
