Abstract: A wearable device that wirelessly automatically acquires and processes signals indicative of a condition of subject's health. The device is adapted to wirelessly transmit the processed signals and other information to a suitable analytic and/or storage device where the subject's condition can be analyzed and/or stored. The signals could be ECG signals and the condition could be the health of the subject's heart.

Abstract: Certain aspects relate to shaft-to-shaft D-to-polygon connectors. The connector can have an interior channel with a “D-shaped” cross section to form a friction fit with an output shaft of a motor having a corresponding outer D-shape. The outer shape of the connector can be hexagonal, square, triple square, 12-point, or D-shaped. As such, when the connector is fit within a correspondingly shaped channel of another shaft or mechanical body, the torque from the motor is transmitted to the other shaft or mechanical body without the need for set screws.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for delivering a message to a visually impaired person. The method includes providing a device including a housing with an inner chamber and an outer surface, a power source, and a sound producing device coupled to the power source. The power source and sound producing device are contained within the inner chamber of the housing. Providing a mechanism to activate the sound producing device in the housing. Providing a braille message on the outer surface of the housing. This and other implementations can each optionally include one or more of the following features.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are movable charge port systems for electric vehicles. An electric vehicle may include a charge port capable of coupling with and receiving electrical power from a charging station. The charge port may be movably secured in a concealed position and configured to move from the concealed position to an exposed position to enable the charge port to couple with the charging station. The vehicle may include a motor configured to move the charge port from the concealed position to the exposed position and processing circuitry configured to command the motor to move the charge port. The charge port may be exposed automatically in response to detecting the presence of a charging station nearby.

Abstract: At least one sensor in a wearable device worn by a user may be configured to detect at least one of an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal and arterial pulse (or photoplethysmogram (PPG)) signal. At least one processing circuit may process the ECG signal, the pulse/PPG signal, or both to determine at least one of a pulse transit time (PTT) and pulse arrival time (PAT). The at least one processing circuit may determine a blood pressure (BP) of the user from the PTT, the PAT, or both.

Abstract: An implant delivery system can be used to deliver an implant into a body. The implant delivery system can include an inflation tube and a tubular member surrounding the inflation tube. The inflation tube can be used to provide an inflation medium to the implant. The tubular member can have a distal tip and an opening spaced from the tip to allow the implant to be released through the opening into an anatomical structure within the body.

Abstract: Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for flexibly and movably mounting a charge port in front-facing portions of an electric vehicle. When not in use the charge port can be concealed by the body of the vehicle. In a pre-charging or charging mode the charge port can be automatically moved to a charging position where it is exposed through the vehicle body and thus available for coupling with a charging connector at a charging station. Further, the charge port can be flexibly mounted to the vehicle so as to absorb impact forces in one or more directions. The charge port can include oscillation dampening mechanisms for electrical cables coupled to the charge port.

Abstract: A contact lens may comprise at least one sensor. An eye gear package may comprise an interface circuit configured to communicatively couple the eye gear package with the contact lens, a power source configured to power the eye gear package and the contact lens, and a processor configured to process data generated by the at least one sensor.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of rendering at least one graphical object comprising a plurality of sub parts described with a page description language format, said method comprising the steps of: converting the at least one graphical object into a first edge pair and a second edge pair, wherein the first edge pair and the second edge pair are vertically separated by a scanline gap; joining the second edge pair and the first edge pair to make a corresponding new edge pair having an empty fill portion in the scanline gap; and processing the new edge pair to render the at least one graphical object.

Abstract: A method of rendering a graphical object (e.g., 801) on a page (800), is disclosed. A region of the page containing the graphical object (801) is marked as output incompatible based on the graphical object (801) being output incompatible. A bounding box comprising the marked region is determined. A proportion of a number of the regions marked as output incompatible are determined to a total number of regions in the bounding box. A further region within the bounding box is marked as output incompatible to increase the determined proportion above a threshold. The graphical object in the marked region and the further marked region is converted into an output compatible graphical object if the determined proportion is above the threshold. The output compatible graphical object is rendered.

Abstract: Medication can be concealed using a device that comprises a food storage container, a nozzle, and a base. The food storage container typically stores a non-solid food product that can be used to conceal medication, dispense toppings, and make treats. Furthermore, the food storage container can be configured to mate with a nozzle, which could control the flow of the food product within the food storage container. The base comprises a cavity configured to receive an open capsule, wherein the non-solid food product can be dispensed via the nozzle of the food storage container.

Abstract: A pill is divided using a pill splitter and crusher device having a first member coupled to a second member. The first member includes a pill-receiving cavity and the second member comprises a blade and an anvil. In some contemplated embodiments, the anvil is configured to crush a pill placed within the cavity and the blade is configured to split the pill within the cavity. Furthermore, the anvil is coupled to the second member, such that the anvil could move from a crushing position to a non-crushing position, which allows for crushing and splitting of the pill, respectively.
