Abstract: Disclosed are a method, system, and apparatus of a biometric sensor of a tactical gear to monitor health and stress of a wearer. In one embodiment, personal protective equipment includes a language translator module integrated in a tactical gear, a biometric sensor, and a responsive device integrated in the tactical gear. A wearer bi-directionally communicates with an individual in an ambient environment using any language other than a primary language spoken by the wearer when the language translator module is activated. The biometric sensor detects the health condition of the wearer. The responsive device vibrates to notify the wearer when the biometric sensor detects an elevated stress level of the wearer of the tactical gear. The biometric sensor is detachable from the tactical gear and placeable on an injured person nearby to the wearer through an armband extendable from the biometric sensor when it is removed from the tactical gear.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method, system, and apparatus of personal protective equipment having a responsive device to vibrate when an unmanned aerial vehicle detects an ambient threat using artificial intelligence. In one embodiment, a personal protective equipment includes a drone control apparatus integrated into a chest area of a tactical gear and a responsive device integrated in the tactical gear. The responsive device notifies a wearer of the tactical gear when an unmanned aerial vehicle detects an ambient threat to the wearer. The unmanned aerial vehicle is communicatively coupled with the tactical gear. The responsive device detects the ambient threat using an artificial intelligence based threat detection model. The responsive device may notify a wearer haptically if it is a haptic sensor, auditorily if it is an audio sensor, and/or visually if it is a LED/light based sensor.

Abstract: A brush including a handle and a head attached to the handle. The head has an upper surface and at least one protuberance positioned on the upper surface of the head. A plurality of bristle elements extend from the upper surface of the head and are positioned around the protuberance such that bristle elements positioned closest to the protuberance define a cup-shaped clearance space around the protuberance.

Abstract: A centrifugal method, and corresponding system, for processing blood to collect platelet rich plasma. A separation chamber is filled with blood from a fill syringe by rotating the separation chamber at a fill rotation rate and pumping the blood from the fill syringe. A soft spin is used to initially separate red blood cells from platelets by spinning the separation chamber at a soft spin rate. A percentage of the blood is drawn from the separation chamber back into the fill syringe to remove separated red blood cells. A second portion of the separated blood is drawn from the separation chamber until a red blood cell/platelet interface is detected. A hard spin is performed by spinning the separation chamber at a higher rate and connecting tubing is cleared of red blood cells by drawing a predetermined clearing volume. The platelet rich plasma is then collected in the collection syringe.

Abstract: A leadless fully automatic follow-up (LFAPF) device that is triggered into operation either locally or remotely is implemented extra-corporeally to access cardiac data such as ECGs stored in one or more implantable medical device (IMDs) implanted in one or more patients. A telemetry unit is used in the LFAPF to transmit and test stored data in the IMDs. The telemetry unit implements a series of adjustable commands depending on the desired level of detail of the follow-up. An alternate embodiment representing intra-corporeal use of an additional device includes cardiac data monitoring and cardioversion pulse synchronization in cooperation with another IMD such as a pacer.

Abstract: For production of mineralized drinking water, water is distilled and then passed through a layer of soil which is taken from an area adjoining the source of natural mineral water.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for optimizing the performance of a rate-responsive cardiac pacemaker. A pacemaker is provided which is capable of obtaining and storing information about a patient's cardiac function and about a pacemaker's operation during a brief exercise interval. The data collected includes information about the number of cardiac events during each two-second interval of the exercise, as well as the percentage of paced events during each two-second interval. Data reflecting the output of the pacemaker's activity sensor output is also collected for each two second interval of the test. In addition, AV interval data for each cardiac cycle during the test is collected, this data being distinguished according to whether it reflects atrial-pace-to-ventricular-sense or atrial-sense-to-ventricular-sense AV intervals. The disclosed pacemaker is operable in conjunction with an external programming/processing unit, which receives the stored data after the exercise test is concluded.
