Abstract: An eyeshield assembly configured to couple to a brim of a head covering includes a pivot arm with a latch surface. The pivot arm is configured to move between a latched position, when the eyeshield assembly is in a use position, and a released position, when the eyeshield assembly is in a non-use position. The eyeshield assembly also includes a latch arm with a distal end configured to receive the latch surface of the pivot arm when the pivot arm is in the latched position. Additionally, the eyeshield assembly includes a hinge assembly operably coupled to the pivot arm and including a biasing element. The biasing element is configured to pivot the pivot arm relative to the latch arm to move the pivot arm from the latched position to the released position without human intervention.

Abstract: A computerized method and system for coordinated healthcare management is disclosed. The method includes receiving a first health care plan for a patient from a first provider, receiving a second health care plan for the patient from a second provider, coordinating the first health care plan with the second health care plan to generate a coordinated health care plan, the coordinated health care plan comprising one or more health events associated with the patient, receiving at least one threshold for at least one of the one or more health events from the first provider, and alerting the first provider upon receiving an indication that the one of the one or more health events is outside the threshold.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of personal health data tracking, and in particular to an automated system and method for configuring and managing a patient's account by a health care provider. One disclosed embodiment of the system includes a server and a remote interface for accessing the server through a network. The server may be a web server, and the remote interface may be a personal computer or smartphone device connected to the server via the Internet. The patient and the healthcare provider each connect to the server through their own remote interface. The healthcare provider completes an electronic form to identify the patient and select data elements for the patient to track. Upon completion of this form, a code is generated that the patient can use to automatically create a new patient account and configure its remote interface according to the healthcare provider's selections.

Abstract: An automatically compensated fluid flow sensor uses chemometric analysis to produce a compensated fluid flow measurement. A compensation measurement comprising at least one additional measurement, such as a measurement of thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, pressure or density can be used to augment the fluid flow measurement in order to compensate for errors in the fluid flow measurement. A reference fluid flow is required to calibrate the sensor via chemometric analysis.

Abstract: A passive wireless acoustic wave chemical sensor can be utilized for monitoring the concentration of an analyte in a substance such as blood. Such an acoustic wave chemical sensor can be configured to include one or more interdigital transducers and a selective coating formed upon a piezoelectric substrate. The coating and the interdigital transducer(s) can be used to convert electrical signal to surface waves thereof. An antenna can be connected to the acoustic wave device, wherein the antenna receives one or more input signals, which excite the acoustic device and to produce an output signal that is related to the concentration of the analyte of interest.

Abstract: A disposable fluid flow sensor is disclosed herein, which generally includes a flow channel assembly comprising a flow channel tube in association with a disposable flow channel portion. A sensor die is located approximate to a thin interface or membrane formed from the disposable flow channel portion, such that the sensor die measures a flow of fluid flowing through the flow channel tube and the disposable flow channel portion of the flow channel assembly. Additionally, a substrate can be provided upon which the sensor die is formed and located. A seal can also be provided for sealing the disposable flow channel portion to the flow channel tube. Such a flow sensor can be implemented in the context of a “non-isolated” sensor die approach in which the sensor die, substrate and flow tube are assembled together into a complete disposable assembly, in which a thin interface does not cover the sensor die.
