Abstract: An electronic patient monitoring system and method of operation that includes one or more generally non-metal, tamper-resistant patient identification and monitoring devices, an observer transmitter/receiver device configured to receive and detect one or more beacon signals that exceed a predetermined threshold from at least one of the not easily removable patient identification and monitoring devices, set a time to hold open a window for a response on the transmitter/receiver device, and send a request for information to the observer with the transmitter/receiver device, and a central computer system. Each of the transmitter/receiver device and the central computer system, including, at least, a computer processor, communications components and system software to communicate with the observer transmitter/receiver device at specified/predetermined time intervals to receive observer-and patient-specific information.

Abstract: A wiper device having a wiper arm (20a; 20b; 20c), having at least one wiper blade (18a, 18a?, 18a?) which is coupled to the wiper arm (20a; 20b; 20c), which includes at least one wiper lip (22a, 22a?, 22a?) for wiping a surface (16a; 16b; 16c) of a protective element (14a; 14b; 14c) of a sensor device (12a), in particular of a Lidar device, and having a wiper arm guide unit (24a) which is provided for moving the wiper arm (20a; 20b; 20c) in an at least substantially translatory manner along a guide path (50a). It is proposed that the wiper device has a rotary joint (26a) by means of which the wiper blade (18a, 18a?, 18a?) is pivotably mounted on the wiper arm (20a; 20b; 20c).

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses (e.g., tracking system, tracking devices, etc.) for tracking a subject to prevent elopement. The methods and apparatuses described herein may be used to prevent elopement from health care environments. The methods and apparatuses may be specifically configured to provide energy and cost efficient mechanisms to prevent elopement and to track subjects. For example, these methods and apparatuses may monitor, using a wearable tracking device, low-energy sensor data and determining whether the sensor data exceeds a threshold. If the sensor data exceeds a threshold, then the tracking device can turn on scanning for a wireless signals associated with a known location, and/or activate a location-determining subsystem of the tracking device and transmit location information and/or an alert to a remote processor.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses (e.g., systems, devices, etc.) for close proximity monitoring of subjects, including in particular at-risk psychiatric subjects.

Abstract: Methods and systems for close proximity monitoring of subjects, including in particular at-risk psychiatric subjects, where subjects have a tamper-resistant wearable device that signals an observer device, an observer records an observation of the subject, and the observer device emits an alert when the observer fails to record an observation during a predetermined time period.

Abstract: Systems and methods for initiating an instant messaging chat session from an email thread are described. In examples, an email thread including at least one email is received and user identifiers form the at least one email are extracted. Presence information associated with each user identifier of the plurality of user identifiers is obtained and then ordered. The ordered plurality of user identifiers together with their presence information are displayed in a user interface window. A determination to display a user control associated with an instant messaging capability is based on the presence information associated with at least one user identifier of the plurality of user identifiers. Upon receiving an indication that the user control associated with the instant messaging chat capability is selected, an instant messaging chat session is initiated.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides, among other things, treatment regimens of MAdCAM-1 antibodies for patients susceptible to or diagnosed with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

Abstract: Computerized data management systems and methods for inter-relating, indexing, and organizing data records stored in a database or as computer files are described. The systems and methods can be used for linking or associating data records relating to real estate parcels. A given parcel in a community of parcels may have many neighbors. The systems and methods can identify a reduced set of neighbors of the parcel that have addresses that bracket the address of the parcel.
