  • Patent number: 11969266
    Abstract: A deep learning medical device implantable in a body is provided. The device includes a processing and communication unit and a sensing and actuation unit. The processing and communication unit includes a deep learning module including a neural network trained to process the input samples, received from the sensing and actuation unit, through a plurality of layers to classify physiological parameters and provide classification results. A communication interface in communication with the deep learning module receives the classification results for ultrasonic transmission through biological tissue. Methods of sensing and classifying physiological parameters of a body and methods of embedding deep learning into an implantable medical device are also provided.

  • Patent number: 7721556
    Abstract: A single-use, self-heating or self-cooling container, particularly for beverages, producible in a plurality of sizes, comprises a first receptacle (2) containing a beverage and inserted into a second receptacle (3), a first compartment (11) formed between the first and the second receptacle and a second compartment (12) formed on the base of the second receptacle and separated from the first compartment by a breakable diaphragm (13). In these compartments (11, 12) are separately and respectively arranged at least a first and a second component of an exothermic or endothermic reaction, and the first component is arranged in the first compartment (11) annularly around the first receptacle (2), while the diaphragm (13) extends as a separation of these compartments substantially against the base (4) of the first receptacle.

  • Patent number: 4793323
    Abstract: A single-use self-heating container has an insulating external envelope. A plastic vessel is within and attached to the envelope. A membrane separates the vessel into an upper compartment which contains one reagent and a lower compartment which contains another reagent. A membrane-breaking member is in the lower compartment. A metallic container with a thermally welded peelable cover is fastened to an upper portion of the plastic vessel. To prevent abrupt temperature changes, the upper compartment of the plastic vessel may contain a temperature control substance which undergoes a change in state between 90.degree. and 100.degree. C.
