  • Publication number: 20220280064
    Abstract: Aspects of the of the disclosure relate to a non-contact physiological motion sensor and a monitor device that can incorporate use of the Doppler effect. A continuous wave of electromagnetic radiation can be transmitted toward one or more subjects and the Doppler-shifted received signals can be digitized and/or processed subsequently to extract information related to the cardiopulmonary motion in the one or more subjects. The extracted information can be used, for example, to determine apneic events and/or snoring events and/or to provide apnea or snoring therapy to subjects when used in conjunction with an apnea or snoring therapy device. In addition, methods of use are disclosed for sway cancellation, realization of cessation of breath, integration with multi-parameter patient monitoring systems, providing positive providing patient identification, or any combination thereof.

  • Publication number: 20140193852
    Abstract: Devices and methods are described for pre-processing tissue samples containing cells of interest for various therapeutic procedures. Fibrous material may be extracted from the tissue sample through a shredding and separating device, resulting in a non-fibrous sample containing the cells of interest, which may then be washed and centrifuged to remove fluids, oil, and contaminants. The sample may then be digested in a large-volume container, and a piston within the container may push the resulting liberated cell suspension through a cell concentrator such as a hollow-fiber separation module.
