Abstract: Devices and systems are provided for the remote monitoring of physiological parameters of a patient. An exemplary wireless physiological monitoring device comprises a substrate formed of a flexible biocompatible material. The substrate has a surface for affixing to the skin of a patient. A wireless data transmission device, a biosensor, and a power source are integrated with the substrate. The biosensor is configured to measure a physiological parameter. Flexible conductors are integrated with the substrate and are configured to electrically couple the biosensor and the power source with the data transmission device.

Abstract: A power distribution system for a vehicle is provided. The power distribution system includes a network incorporating at least one load. At least a first and a second power source are connected to the network. The first power source is located and connected proximal to the load and the second power source is located distal from the load. A generator may be connected to the network distally from the first and second loads and configured to supply power to at least one of the first and second loads. The generator may be configured such that power is supplied selectively when power from at least one of the first and second power sources is less than respectively required by the first and second loads. The first and second power sources may be configured to be regenerated by the generator. The network may include more highly power-rated components in areas configured for higher power transmission and more lowly power-rated components in areas configured for lower power transmission.

Abstract: A 3-dimensional ultra-high speed scanning system for organic and inorganic surface topography and spectrometry has a 3-dimensional head to scan an object to be analyzed. The scanning head is operatively associated with a path length variator which in turn is operatively connected to a single mode wavelength coupler. A light source and a photo detector are operatively connected to the wavelength coupler. A computer with software for data reduction and 3-dimensional representation are connected to both the light source and the photo detector to reveal scanning data of an object scanned by the scanning head. A spectrometer is alternately coupled to the photo detector.
