Abstract: The disclosure of the present patent application relates generally to a process to recycle both polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and carbon fiber reinforced composite (CFRP) prepreg (fibers pre-impregnated with typically thermoset resin) and/or CFRP materials to produce a PET/Carbon Fiber Composite where the optimum amount of carbon fibers positively affects the mechanical and physical properties, and such properties were improved over pure recycled PET. The process of breaking down both the PET and CFRP product(s) into pieces for recycling is mechanical-only, and the broken-down pieces are combined in a single screw extruder with varying percentages of recycled CFRP pieces to determine the amount of CFRP pieces that produces the optimum mechanical and physical properties that are particularly improved over pure recycled PET.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for remote patient management and monitoring. The patient is monitored with a wireless sensor system connected to an application executing on a patient user computing device. The system continuously monitors physiological parameters, such as, but not limited to, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate, perfusion index, pleth variability index, and/or respiration rate from the photoplethysmograph. The system triggers alarms if the patient physiological data violates thresholds. Care providers review patient data and associated alarm(s) with graphical user interfaces.

Abstract: This disclosure describes example alarm notification systems that can enable a clinician to respond to an alarm notification received via a computing device, which may have more advanced functionality than a pager. The clinician device may be a mobile device, such as a cellphone or smartphone, tablet, laptop, personal digital assistant (PDA), or the like. The clinician device may communicate with a remote server to obtain patient data generated by a patient device at the point-of-care (such as a bedside device or patient-worn monitor). This patient data may be continuous monitoring data for one or more patients. A mobile application (optionally a browser application) on the clinician device can enable the clinician to view continuous monitoring data for multiple patients, as well as view and respond to alarms and alerts, all from the clinician device, regardless of location.

Abstract: System and methods are provided for augmented reality displays for medical and physiological monitoring. Augmented reality user interfaces are virtually pinned to a physical device, a location, or to a patient. An augmented reality position determination process determines the presentation of user interfaces relative to reference positions and reference objects. Detection of gestures causes the augmented reality users interfaces to be updated, such as pinning a user interface to a device, location, or patient. Looking away from an augmented reality user interface causes the user interface to minimize or disappear in an augmented reality display. An augmented reality gesture detection process determines gestures based on captured image data and computer vision techniques performed on the image data.

Abstract: A physiological patient monitoring system with a patient-facing interface is disclosed. The patient interface can be used by the patient to communicate with hospital staff without actually requesting attendance and can request attendance for specific purposes. The patient interface may also track patient treatment and inform patients of the details of their treatments.

Abstract: A computing system can facilitate continuously monitoring a patient having a wireless wearable device. The computing system can receive, via an in-room display device, a request to transfer wireless monitoring of the patient from the in-room display device to a mobile monitoring hub. The request can comprise identification data associated with a user requesting to transfer the wireless monitoring. The computing system can determine whether the user has permission to transfer the wireless monitoring based on at least the identification data. Responsive to determining that user has permission to transfer the wireless monitoring, the computing system can access wireless configuration data associated with the wireless wearable and received from the in-room display device. The computing system can wirelessly transmit said wireless configuration data to the mobile monitoring hub to cause the mobile monitoring hub to establish a wireless communication with the wearable device.

Abstract: An overdose of opioids can cause the user to stop breathing, resulting in death. A physiological monitoring system monitors respiration based on oxygen saturation readings from a fingertip pulse oximeter in communication with a smart mobile device and sends opioid monitoring information from the smart mobile device to an opioid overdose monitoring service. The opioid overdose monitoring service notifies a first set of contacts when the opioid monitoring information indicates a non-distress stats and notifies a second set of contact when the opioid monitoring information indicates an overdose event. The notification can be a phone call or text message to a specified person, emergency personnel, or first responders, and can include the location of the smart mobile device. The smart mobile device can also include the location of the nearest treatment center having emergency medication used in treating opioid overdose, such as naloxone.
