Patent number: 11969268Abstract: Disclosed herein is a non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions thereon. When executed by the processor of a mobile computing device, the computer-executable instructions cause the processor to wirelessly communicatively couple the mobile computing device to a GI sensor (optionally by displaying instructions on a pairing screen), display a sensor placement screen that instructs the user to place the GI sensor on a body of a patient, prompts the user to administer a GI agent into the body of the patient; transmit a signal from the mobile computing device to the GI sensor to cause the GI sensor to initiate collection of light absorbance data for calculating GI function of the patient; receive light absorbance data from the GI sensor, and store the received light absorbance data.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: MEDIBEACON INC.Inventors: Richard B. Dorshow, Steven J. Hanley, Terence Stern, James Harr

Patent number: 11944279Abstract: Various embodiments of a swab device, system, and method are provided for measuring and assessing saliva flow in the mouth of a person. In one embodiment, a system includes a swab device and a measuring device. The swab device includes a handle portion and a swab portion, the handle portion being elongated to extend between a proximal end and a distal end. The swab portion is coupled to a distal portion of the handle portion and is sized and configured to collect saliva from the mouth. The measuring device is sized and configured to measure an amount of the saliva collected with the swab portion, the measuring device including a nesting portion integrated therewith. Such nesting portion of the measuring device is sized and configured to receive the proximal end of the handle portion of the swab device to measure the saliva collected therewith.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: BOKA SCIENCES, INC.Inventors: Grant J. Donovan, Jeffrey A. Stern, Ryan C. Patterson, James A. Malmstrom, Kent F. Beck, Scott D. Miles

Patent number: 11746219Abstract: A recycled resin composition with significantly improved stress crack resistance and impact properties with minimal loss of stiffness. The recycled resin composition is a blend of at least one recycled resin (PCR and/or PIR), at least one virgin high density polyethylene and at least one virgin metallocene catalyzed linear low density polyethylene. The recycled resin composition can have a flex modulus @0.05 in/min of 110,000 psi to 180,000 psi, as measured by ASTM D790, Proc. A 1% Secant Modulus; and/or an ESCR, as measured by 100% Igepal Cond B, ASTM D1693, of about 10 hr to about 75 hr.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2022Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: ExxonMobil Chemical Patents Inc.Inventors: Robert M. Canright, James A. Stern, Kelsey L. Terrill

Publication number: 20220365934Abstract: The disclosed system links an individual dataset to a database. The system receives a target individual dataset associated with a target individual and identifies candidate individual datasets that are potentially related to the target individual dataset. The system identifies a related individual dataset that has data bits that match some data bits in the target individual dataset. The system then identifies a parent node that is a common parent node to both the target individual dataset and the related individual dataset. The system retrieves a data tree that the parent node belongs to with the data tree containing information describing inter-relationships among datasets in the data tree. A node in the data tree is identified to assign the target individual dataset based on strings of matched data bits and number of the matched strings between the target individual dataset and the datasets in the data tree.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2022Publication date: November 17, 2022Inventors: Shiya Song, Jingwen Pei, Brett Frederick Jorgensen, Aaron James Stern, Ross E.
