Abstract: Methods, devices and systems are disclosed for inter-app communications between software applications on a mobile communications device. In one aspect, a computer-readable medium on a mobile computing device comprising an inter-application communication data structure to facilitate transitioning and distributing data between software applications in a shared app group for an operating system of the mobile computing device includes a scheme field of the data structure providing a scheme id associated with a target software app to transition to from a source software app, wherein the scheme id is listed on a scheme list stored with the source software app; and a payload field of the data structure providing data and/or an identification where to access data in a shared file system accessible to the software applications in the shared app group, wherein the payload field is encrypted.

Abstract: A method for treating a respiratory condition of a patient with Alpha-2 Macroglobulin (?2M) molecules includes drawing whole blood, separating plasma containing ?2M molecules from other components of the whole blood, isolating the ?2M molecules from the other components of the plasma, and administering at least some of the isolated ?2M molecules to the patient via inhalation.

Abstract: A VIN verification system allow an accurate detection of incorrectly entered VIN in an electronic file followed by correction of the incorrectly entered VIN. A server of the VIN verification system verify characters and letters of the VIN in the electronic file to detect data entry and/or transmission errors. The server upon determining that the characters and entered in the VIN are incorrect will then replace the characters and letters with alternate or substitute characters and letters and generate a new VIN in the electronic file. The server will reexamine the new VIN to validate the new VIN, and then transmit the electronic file to another web application for further processing.

Abstract: A multi-function tool. The multi-function tool includes a first socket body having a first sidewall defining a first socket and a second socket, the first socket body being aligned with a first axis. The multi-function tool also includes a second socket body having a second sidewall defining a third socket, the second socket body being aligned with a second axis that is substantially parallel to the first axis. The first socket body is connected to the second socket body by a bridge.

Abstract: An assistive device for subcutaneous injections or implants. The assistive device is placed under a blood pressure cuff that displaces the skin and subcutaneous tissues of a patient at an insertion site in order to allow guided insertion of a needle or implant applicator into a subcutaneous fat layer. The skin and subcutaneous tissue is displaced or drawn, via pressure applied by the blood pressure cuff, through an injection window of a device body into a hollow cavity of the device body. A guide channel leads from a front side of the device body into the hollow cavity, and an applicator of an adapter is inserted through the guide channel into the subcutaneous fat layer.

Abstract: A medical appliance for use on and/or in the body of a user including a transmission unit and an activation switch connected to the transmission unit for activating the transmission unit when an activation signal is received by the activation switch. The invention encompasses systems and processes for transmitting data between a medical appliance and an external appliance, wherein, in some embodiments, the external appliance activates the medical appliance prior to data transmission when the latter is in an idle state.

Abstract: A performance glove 100 comprises a glove body 111 including a palm portion 110 joined to a back portion 132 for fitting about an individual's hand. Finger portions 112-118 and a thumb portion 120 are joined to glove body 111 for receiving the fingers and thumb. An elastic wrist strap 124 is attached at its proximal end to back portion 132 of glove body 111 adjacent thumb portion 120 at an approximate 45 degree angle to an axis 128 that passes through a conical opening 134 and a middle finger portion 116. Elestic wrist strap 124 extends along its length sufficient to wrap about the wrist exactly once, with distal end of elastic wrist strap 124 removably attached to back portion 132 of glove body 111 adjacent to a pinky finger portion 112 at an approximate 45 degree angle to axis 128.
