Abstract: A near-infrared spectroscopy system comprises a substrate, a light source emitting a set of wavelengths, an optical detector detecting the set of wavelengths, a processor in electronic communication with the light source bank and/or the optical detector, and a memory device in electronic communication with the processor. The light source bank, optical detector, processor, and memory device are mounted on the substrate, and a battery is in electronic communication with at least one of these components. Program instructions direct the processor to calculate an oxygenation level, compare that oxygenation level to a predetermined threshold, and optionally, activate a feedback device. A method of detecting an oxygenation level comprises mounting the system in a wearable article, calculating a baseline oxygenation level, regularly executing the program instructions to calculate the oxygenation level, and activating the feedback device.

Abstract: This disclosure provides a wearable point-of-care (POC) device for assessing immune activity in a subject in need thereof, the device comprising: a microneedle patch capable of making conformal contact with a skin of the subject, the microneedle patch comprising a plurality of microneedles: a lateral flow test strip comprising a plurality of channels, each of the channels in the plurality of channels comprising control and capture antibodies for an analyte in a plurality of analytes, wherein the control and capture antibodies are deposited along a length of the channel such that upon exposure to the analyte a number of visible spots in the channel is correlated with a concentration of the analyte; and a means for pumping an interstitial fluid from the plurality of microneedles and through each of the channels in the plurality of channels when the device is on the skin of the subject.

Abstract: A vehicle entertainment system and method to prevent a mechanical connection between certain components of an entertainment system for a vehicle can include an entertainment system housing containing a plurality of entertainment components and a remote control module. The remote control module can include a user interface on a surface of the remote control module. In addition, the remote control module can be configured to prevent secure mounting of the remote control module to the entertainment system housing when the remote control module is not the appropriate remote control module for the particular vehicle entertainment system.
