Abstract: A urine collection assembly includes a container; a funnel removably coupled to the container, the funnel in fluid communication with the container; a first collection chamber in selective communication with the funnel; a valve configured to allow selective communication between the first collection chamber and the funnel; a second collection chamber in selective communication with the funnel; and a lid removably coupleable to the funnel. A saddle may be removably coupleable to the funnel and configured to guide urine into the container.

Abstract: A method of calculating a set of desired transport routes for a stroke patient comprises selecting a set of destination points, comprising a first stroke center and a second stroke center, generating a set of infarct core growth models for stroke patients along at least a first path from a starting point to the first stroke center followed by an optional trip to the second stroke center, and a second path from the starting point to the second stroke center, varying a set of parameters of the stroke patients, calculating a model of patient outcomes from each origin point, and designating whether the first path or the second path is preferable based on the probabilistic model. A system for displaying a desired transport route for a stroke patient and a method of calculating a preferred location for a mobile treatment unit in a geographic region are also described.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for applying a phase-agnostic stimuli are disclosed herein. Certain embodiments include methods and apparatus that are configured to receive a detected signal from a subject and transmit a stimulation signal that is configured to optimize a response signal without regard to the phase of the detected signal.

Abstract: A system is described that observes a signal from a subject of interest, converts the signal to an electrical representation, uses the electrical representation to compute a synthetic control signal, and applies the synthetic control signal to control some aspect of operation of the subject. The procedure used to generate the synthetic control signal involves subjecting the electrical representation of the observed signal to random noise, allowing the extrema of the electrical representation to move, and obtaining a converged solution as the synthetic control signal.

Abstract: A laser beam generating device is provided for generating multiple mutually orthogonal light beams. The device includes a laser light generator that generates at least three output beams. A beamsplitter of the laser light generator has two incident surfaces orientated at forty-five degrees in relation to an optical axis. A first portion of a light from a light source is incident on a first of the two incident surfaces and output as a first output beam in a first direction orthogonal to the optical axis. A second portion of the light is incident on a second of the two incident surfaces and output as a second output beam in a second direction opposite the first direction. The light source is arranged in relation to the beamsplitter such that a third portion of the light bypasses the beamsplitter and forms a third output beam projected parallel to the optical axis.
