Abstract: Systems and techniques for authentication of impaired voices are described herein. A voice profile may be generated for a user. An audio stream may be received including an authentication voice of the user. It may be determined that the authentication voice does not match a first set of authentication criteria. The audio stream may be compared to a second set of authentication criteria. The user may be authenticated based on the comparison.

Abstract: A patient monitoring network pertaining to blood glucose and other analyte measurements includes wireless blood glucose or other analyte measuring devices and a networked computer or server. Each monitoring device is associated with a patient and is configured to measure the glucose level or other analyte from a given blood sample via inserted test strips, transmit the measurements to the networked computer, and display received messages. The messages may relate to the current or past measurements, or may include an alert prompting the user of the monitoring device to order more supplies, such as test strips. The measurements received by the networked computer may be stored in a record of a database, which may be accessed by a remote computer. The remote computer may also access a script editor to edit certain scripts which produce certain messages sent to the monitoring device.

Abstract: A method of treating biomass material, particularly plant-derived biomass material, to produce pyrolysis thereof, comprising subjecting the biomass material to radio frequency electromagnetic radiation, e.g. microwave radiation, while the material is being agitated, under suitable conditions to produce a desired degree of pyrolysis.

Abstract: A novel remote monitoring, command and control system for enabling real-time disease management that includes a mobile wireless device which in one embodiment of the invention doubles as and replaces an existing tool within the patients' regimen so as to become a transparent tool within the list of paraphernalia relied upon by chronically afflicted patients and their extended team of caregivers. In the preferred embodiment, the device consists of a case with enclosures and is of a portable nature so as to accompany an individual easily. In another embodiment, the device simply enhances the remote connection to any wide area network for providing the capabilities of the system. Additionally, the system incorporates specialized analysis tools to facilitate any number of dynamic peer group comparisons in order to facilitate the easy and productive analysis across any sized population of inclusive patients with the data coming from any number of third party data management applications, logs, or other sources.
