Abstract: Systems and methods for remotely monitoring hospital patients are provided. Medical devices may capture biometric data associated with a patient positioned in an ICU environment, and a remote display device positioned external to the ICU environment may display an indication of the health of the patient based on the captured biometric data. The indication of the health of the patient may include a graph mapping normalized health statuses associated with the patient over time. Each normalized health status may be based on normalizing a particular type of biometric data based on a medical protocol, so each data point of the graph includes an indication of a normalized health status associated with the patient at a given time. The indication of the health of the patient may include an animated three-dimensional that is dynamically updated to reflect biometric data associated with the patient captured at a time selected by a user.

Abstract: A mask for use in making a planar PN junction in a semiconductor device includes a central mask opening and a plurality of spaced apart concentric mask openings surrounding the central mask opening. The concentric mask openings each have a width less than a maximum dimension of the central mask opening. The central mask opening can be circular and the concentric mask openings can have a ring-shape. The mask can be used to form openings in a wafer layer for introducing an impurity to dope that wafer layer.
