  • Publication number: 20250090410
    Abstract: Systems and methods for treating fluid stasis employ an airstream to move static fluid to one or more natural drainage areas for static fluid. A system for treating fluid stasis includes an airstream nozzle and an airflow generator for supplying an airflow to the airstream nozzle. The airflow nozzle is configured to output an airstream configured to be directed onto a patient to induce shear-thinning of static fluid and movement of static fluid toward one or more natural drainage areas for static fluid.

  • Publication number: 20240207477
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for treatment of various airborne or surface-associated contaminants in which UV aerosol technology is combined with the use of hydrogen peroxide vapor or aerosol to create potent airborne concentrations of reactive oxygen-containing radicals that react with the airborne or surface-associated contaminants to inactivate, disinfect, oxidize, rearrange, ablate and/or otherwise treat these materials and thereby achieve disinfection of indoor air and/or surfaces. This technology is referred to herein as peroxide-enhanced germicidal irradiation (PEGI).

  • Patent number: 10953261
    Abstract: A shoe weight for athletic training including a shoe sleeve configured to rest upon the outer surface of a shoe while being worn. A U-shaped member is disposed within the shoe sleeve and designed to exert an inward force against the outer surface of the shoe being worn. A lace clip having an upper portion a lower portion, and a point of inflection is also disposed within the sleeve, such that the lower portion of the lace clip can slide in between the laces and the tongue of the shoe while the point of inflection and the upper portion hook the sleeve to the shoe. The shoe weight further includes a plurality of weights disposed within the shoe sleeve, such that the wearer of the shoe is forced to expend greater energy while walking, running, or performing any act involving movement of the foot inserted in the shoe being worn.

  • Publication number: 20180000428
    Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting exposure to an agent. One or more features are extracted from physiological data. For each respective classifier, (i) the respective classifier is identified, wherein the respective classifier is trained using training data for a respective physiological state, (ii) the respective classifier is applied to the one or more features to obtain a classifier output that represents a likelihood of exposure, (iii) a respective first threshold is applied to the classifier output to determine a patient state classification, and (iv) the patient state classifications are aggregated across a number of time intervals to obtain an aggregate patient state classification for each classifier. The aggregate patient state classifications are combined across the plurality of classifiers to obtain a combined classification, and an indication that the patient has been exposed to the agent is provided when the combined classification exceeds a second threshold.

  • Patent number: 9576158
    Abstract: A decodable indicia reading terminal can comprise a multiple pixel image sensor, an imaging lens configured to focus an image of decodable indicia on the image sensor, an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter configured to convert an analog signal read out of the image sensor into a digital signal, a communication interface, and a microprocessor configured to output decoded message data corresponding to the decodable indicia by processing the digital signal. The decodable indicia reading terminal can be configured, responsive to a triggering event, to transmit via the communication interface a decoding result and an indicia readability rating. The triggering event can be provided by a failure to detect decodable indicia, the indicia readability rating being less than a pre-defined threshold, exceeding a pre-defined time period to decode decodable indicia, a user interface action, and a command received via said communication interface.
