Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods are provided that leverage plugin modules supplemented by machine learning to create a robust and adaptable forensic investigation tool that obtains data from one or more data sources, separates the data into smaller units of data (e.g., deconstructs the data into its smallest logical data items/fields) determines common data types within the smaller units, creates “edges” that match data from the one or more data sources with data already in the system, then determines potentially overlapping clusters of information to identify potential connections between investigations and displays the information on a display in link form or grid form.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods are provided that create an improved forensic investigation graph. Nodes of connected data are clustered according to a maximal nearest neighbor algorithm to create maximal nearest neighbor clusters. A first node of data is directly connected to at least a second node of data and indirectly connected to a third node of data through the second node. The nearest neighbor includes only sets of nodes that are directly connected. A cluster of data includes combinations of connected nodes. A cluster of nearest neighbors only includes combinations of nodes that are directly connected to each other. The maximal nearest neighbor clusters are created by determining all clusters or nearest neighbors and removing all nearest neighbor clusters that are subsets of another nearest neighbor cluster. The maximal nearest neighbor clusters re then displayed on a display. The maximal nearest neighbor clusters represent data acquired in the performance of a forensic investigation.

The at least one carbon block is distributed to the at least one server via a blockchain protocol.

Abstract: A system for in-vivo monitoring of intracranial pressure is provided. The system includes a probe and a controller. The probe includes optical emitters and optical detectors. The optical detectors detect light emitted by the optical emitters generate signals representative of the detected light. The controller includes memory and processor. The controller connects to the probe to energize the optical emitters and receiving signals from the optical detectors. The system may include modelling, extraction, and pressure prediction modules. The modelling module can relate intracranial pressure to features of an optical signal representative of a degree to which light input into a subject's skull is absorbed by the subject's brain. The extraction module can extract signal features from a signal derived from the optical signals output by the detectors. The pressure prediction module can input the signal features into the modelling module and output an indication of intracranial pressure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing data continuity for a mobile medical cart are provided. A battery board comprising a voltage detection circuit (“VCD”), a microcontroller, and a switching device electrically interposed between an alternative power source, a removable battery, and system boards for controlling cart functions. The microcontroller commands the switching device to: begin sourcing power solely from the alternative power source upon detection of a voltage decrease, begin sourcing power solely from the removable battery upon detection of a voltage increase where a valid charge state exists, and continue sourcing power solely from the alternative power source upon detection of the voltage increase where no valid charge state exists.

Abstract: A medical cart providing data continuity, and methods regarding the same, are provided. A holder associated with a body of the cart is configured to receive a removeable battery having a terminal. A connector located at the holder is positioned to receive the terminal when the removeable battery is received within the holder. A power bus is in electrical connection with the connector and an alternative power source. A controller in electrical connection with the power bus automatically begins utilizing the alternative power source following a determination that a loss of power event has occurred.

Abstract: Technology for operating cross-bar arrays is disclosed herein. The memory cells may each have a reversible resistivity element and a steering element comprising a diode. The cross-bar array may be operated in read mode and a bipolar programming mode. Selected memory cells may be sensed by operating the steering elements such that sense currents pass through the diodes and any sneak currents are blocked by the diodes. During bipolar programming of selected memory cells, the steering element of the selected memory cells allows current to flow in either direction through the steering element to permit bipolar programming. In some aspects, the steering element has a switch in parallel with the diode. The switches may be opened when sensing selected memory cells to pass sense currents and block sneak currents with the diodes. The switches may be closed during bipolar programming of the selected memory cells to allow bi-directional current flow.

Abstract: A medical port locator includes a front side and a rear side. In embodiments, the front side includes a receiving/recessed portion and an upper portion. The receiving/recessed portion may be configured to engage at least a portion of a separate medical device, such as a medical port. In embodiments, the medical port locator has a first portion that may be configured to cover a portion of at least one finger of a user and a second portion that may be configured to cover a portion of at least another finger of a user.

Abstract: A rectangular shaped lockable bin is defined by four walls and a bottom wall. A lid is hingedly mounted to the rear wall and has a slot located in a front portion thereof. A lock having a latch is pivotably mounted to the front wall of said bin at a pivot point and is configured to be selectively rotated between a locked position and an unlocked position by an actuator. A tail extending from the lock contacts a post located on the wall of the bin and basis the lock in the unlocked position. A series of such bins may be received in a delivery module, which may be received in a drawer.

Abstract: A cardiovascular monitoring system includes a first monitoring device configured to couple to a first body part of a subject and a second monitoring device configured to couple to a second body part of the subject. The first monitoring device is configured to measure a first cardiovascular signal and a first motion signal at the first body part, and the second monitoring device is configured to measure a second cardiovascular signal and a second motion signal at the second body part. A controller of the system receives the first and second cardiovascular signals and the first and second motion signals and filters the first and second cardiovascular signals by removing spectral components that correspond to spectral components of the first and second motion signals. Based on a correlated spectral component that is present in both the filtered first and second cardiovascular signals, the system determines cardiovascular information of the subject.
