Abstract: A system and process anonymize a user identity, location, and information on the Internet by fragmenting a user request for information from a targeted site, or delivery of user information thereto, into multiple, separate requests/deliveries that are each routed through unrelated, random remote computers or nodes. The fragmented requests each gather or send a piece of information from or to the target site, and bits of information are returned through yet other random nodes. Through this disintegrated approach, the location and identity of the user and the content of the information are untraceable.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a patient suspected of experiencing a state of unconsciousness are provided. In certain aspects, the method includes assembling physiological data, obtained from a plurality of sensors placed on a subject, into sets of time-series data, separating, from the sets of time-series data, a plurality of electroencephalogram signals, and determining, from the plurality of electroencephalogram signals, at least one of frequency information and amplitude information. The method can also include identifying, using the at least one of the frequency information and the amplitude information, spatiotemporal signatures indicative of a likelihood of arousing the patient to consciousness by applying an external stimulus and generating a report indicating the likelihood of arousing the patient to consciousness by applying the external stimulus.

Abstract: A single socket adjustable prosthetic system having a first shell with an extended surface configured to fit against a first side of an amputee's limb, the surface terminating at a base; a second shell configured to fit against a second side of the amputee's limb; an articulated hinge having a first member, a middle member, and a second member, the first member having a first plate connected to a second plate at an angle to each other, with the second plate hingedly connected to a first end of the middle member and the second member hingedly attached at a second end of the middle member, the first plate removably connected to the base and the second member of the articulated hinge attached to the second shell; a space between the first shell and the second shell, to be varied to hold, and accommodate the amputee's limb.

Abstract: A method and system for determining the state of a patients brain under anesthesia. The present invention recognizes that anesthesia compounds induce different signatures in physiological characteristics of the patient under anesthesia and aids interpretation of physiological characteristics and signatures therein based on a selected anesthesia compound. The present invention aids the monitoring and/or interpreting of the physiological characteristics to a state of the patient's brain.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to compositions comprising anesthesia-reversing agents which facilitate or increase the time of awakening or reverse the effects of general anesthesia-induced unconsciousness. In some embodiments, the anesthesia reversing agent can be selected from any or a combination of methylphenidate (MPH), amphetamine, modafinil, amantadine, caffeine, or analogues or derivatives thereof. In some embodiments, compositions comprising at least one or more anesthesia-reversing agents can be used to facilitate awakening from anesthesia without or decreasing occurrence of delirium, and can be used in methods to treat or prevent the symptoms associated with emergence delirium, as well as treat a subject oversedated with general anesthesia. The invention also relates to methods for administering these compositions comprising anesthesia-reversing agents to subjects and for use.
