Patent number: 10352933Abstract: Detection and quantification of microbial colonization and biofilm formation on orthopedic explants would be important for deciding treatment interventions at the time of surgery. Methods and Systems for such treatments are shown that utilize various steps and kits to quickly generate confocal laser-scanning microscopy (CLSM) images to allow for the detection and quantification. The explants are prepared by applying antibodies of both gram-positive and grain-negative for at least one period of time.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2015Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Rhode Island HospitalInventors: Dioscaris Garcia, Christopher T.

Publication number: 20150153743Abstract: A method of detecting and responding to a threat condition includes receiving, at a sensing module, an input acquired in proximity to a pipeline of a fluid distribution system, the input including data associated with a vibration measurement of the pipeline acquired by a sensor exterior of the pipeline. The method also includes determining whether the input indicates a threat condition by comparing the data to a previously recorded baseline vibration measurement. The method further includes automatically closing a first fluid transmission valve in response to a determined threat condition, thereby restricting flow of fluid through the pipeline in a vicinity of the first fluid transmission valve, and wirelessly transmitting a message for receipt by a control module that is remote from the sensing module, the message including indications of the determined threat condition, the first fluid transmission valve, and an identifier associated with the sensing module.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2014Publication date: June 4, 2015Inventors: John A.

Patent number: 8963433Abstract: A first lighting assembly receives a lighting profile that instructs the first lighting assembly to operate according to the lighting profile over a first period of time. The received lighting profile is implemented, including causing a light of the first lighting assembly to illuminate at a first intensity. An input acquired in proximity to the first lighting assembly and indicating activity in a region proximate the first lighting assembly is received. The received lighting profile is then deviated from, in response to the received input, by increasing the intensity of the light to illuminate at a second intensity for a predetermined period of time. A message is transmitted for receipt by the control center, the message including an indication of the increased light intensity and an identifier associated with the first lighting assembly.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2014Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: IPiXC LLCInventors: John A.
