  • Patent number: 11950972
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for advanced electrode management in neurological monitoring applications include receiving sockets configured to receive connectors having groups of electrodes. The physician is not required to manually map each electrode with its corresponding input channel. Electrodes are coupled to the corresponding input channels in groups through connectors having a unique identification (ID). The system is configured to read the unique ID of each connector and establish its identity. Based on the ID, the system configures itself to automatically correlate or associate each electrode with its corresponding input channel when the connectors are first inserted into the receiving sockets, and again if the connectors are removed and re-inserted into different positions in the receiving sockets, to insure the electrodes are always mapped to the same input channels.

  • Patent number: 10349135
    Abstract: A method and program product includes receiving at least a media from a user of a social networking system. At least one or more humans captured in the media are identified. The humans that are not the user are removed from the media. An invitation is communicated to the removed humans. The invitation requests permission to be included in the media. The humans that have granted permission are added back into the media.

  • Patent number: 8777441
    Abstract: A thermoelectric ornamental assembly for generating thermoelectric energy in a body adornment like a ring. The assembly uses a thermoelectric effect to generate an applied temperature gradient between an inner layer and an outer layer of the ring. The inner layer both receives and transmits a thermal current away from the skin. The outer layer receives the thermal current. Electrons diffuse from the inner layer, which is a warm, excited electron area, to the outer layer, which is a cool, less excited electron area. This gradient creates the thermal current. A thermoelectric layer is sandwiched between the outer and inner layer. The thermoelectric layer includes a substrate portion that supports variably doped semiconductors for creating a difference in conductivity so that the charge carriers can diffuse and create a voltage across the thermoelectric portion. The voltage produces a light visible through a transparent area of the ring.
