  • Publication number: 20150370991
    Abstract: Systems and methods for chronic disease management are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes, at a server having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, obtaining one or more user-specific socio-cognitive vectors corresponding to a first user. The method further includes creating a user-specific engagement model in accordance with the one or more obtained socio-cognitive vectors, and generating a user-specific chronic disease management plan for the first user, in accordance with the user-specific engagement model.

  • Patent number: 8636881
    Abstract: A process for electrolyzing a material to change at least a portion of the material from a first chemical state to a second chemical state includes placing a known quantity of a first substance into either a mixing chamber or an electrolysis chamber of an integrated electrochemical reactor, placing a known quantity of a second substance into the other chamber free of the first substance; sealing an opening to isolate an internal volume within the reactor; rotating the reactor to form a mixture, rotating the reactor again such that the mixture is transferred to the electrolysis chamber; electrolyzing the mixture in the electrolysis chamber to change at least a portion of the mixture from the first chemical state to the second chemical state; and analyzing the first substance, or analyzing the second substance, or analyzing the first chemical state, or analyzing the second chemical state, or any analytical combinations thereof.

  • Patent number: 7767066
    Abstract: An electrochemical reactor and process for electrolyzing a substance to change at least a portion of the substance from a first state to a second state. The reactor comprises a tubular body having a first end portion defining an opening and a second end portion defining an electrolysis chamber. The electrolysis chamber includes a well adapted to hold the substance and at least two electrodes for electrolyzing the substance in the well. The volume of the well is less than about 3 milliliters. The reactor further comprises a coupling for releasably and sealingly connecting the reactor body to an auxiliary device body. The coupling is adapted to provide a vacuum tight seal between the reactor body and the auxiliary device and to allow the reactor body to rotate about an axis of rotation independent of the auxiliary device while the reactor body is sealingly connected to the auxiliary device.

  • Patent number: 4268386
    Abstract: According to the invention there is provided, in a swimming pool a ladder, having hollow stiles and a skimmer box connected to one of the stiles and a filter unit preferably connected between the skimmer box and the said one stile. The skimmer box and filter unit are located on the ladder so that they are between the stiles and lie between the rungs and the wall of the pool when the ladder is in use.
