Abstract: The positions of a plurality of speakers at a media consumption site are determined. Audio information in an object-based format is received. Gain adjustment value for a sound content portion in the object-based format may be determined based on the position of the sound content portion and the positions of the plurality of speakers. Audio information in a ring-based channel format is received. Gain adjustment value for each ring-based channel in a set of ring-based channels may be determined based on the ring to which the ring-based channel belongs and the positions of the speakers at a media consumption site.

Abstract: A tunable lighting system includes a first LED having a first spectral output, a second LED having a second spectral output, and a correction circuit including a correction LED. The correction circuit in the tunable lighting system controls the correction LED to emit light that, when combined with light output from the first LED and light output from the second LED, produces a selected spectral characteristic.

Abstract: The invention relates to medical devices for carrying out internal examination, such as laryngoscopes. The laryngoscope is provided with a camera element within a channel inside the blade.

Abstract: An introducer guide (19) for an intubation device (21) having an open channel adapted to releasably secure an introducer, and shaped such that advancement of an intubation tube (21) through which the introducer extends causes the introducer to be removed from the introducer guide (19).

Abstract: A microwave transceiver and feature extraction system is described. This system is adapted for measuring both electrical (ECG-related waveforms) and mechanical activity (heart sound and wall motion) of the heart and vessels, determining which signal features are related to which mechanical properties, and measurement of important hemodynamic parameters such as pressure, flow, and vessel's wall displacement. This system is non-invasive, portable, non-contacting and can remotely collect data at distances of <1 m to several meters that make it a perfect device for telemedicine.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of selling a supplier's product to a consumer, wherein the method includes providing a physical representation of a product to the consumer. The physical representation includes a temporarily concealed first unique identifier corresponding to the physical representation of the product. The method further includes selling the physical representation to the consumer, providing a network location to the consumer for facilitating the redemption of the product with the first unique identifier, and shipping the product to the consumer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a laryngoscope (1) that has been adapted to improve comfort during use. The important adaptations are that the laryngoscope handle (4) is offset and in one embodiment the handle (4) is pivotably connected to a receiving portion (5).

Abstract: Systems and methods for remote, long standoff biometric identification using microwave cardiac signals are provided. In one embodiment, the invention relates to a method for remote biometric identification using microwave cardiac signals, the method including generating and directing first microwave energy in a direction of a person, receiving microwave energy reflected from the person, the reflected microwave energy indicative of cardiac characteristics of the person, segmenting a signal indicative of the reflected microwave energy into a waveform including a plurality of heart beats, identifying patterns in the microwave heart beats waveform, and identifying the person based on the identified patterns and a stored microwave heart beats waveform.

Abstract: A laryngoscope insertion section for a laryngoscope, which is typically a video laryngoscope, includes a lateral tube guide configured to retain an endotracheal tube in a plane. A viewing port for a camera or other image collector is laterally displaced from the plane of the endotracheal tube. The said plane of the endotracheal tube is aligned substantially in the same plane as a patients median plane and the tube can be advanced into the larynx using a natural curving motion similar to the motion used to introduce an endotracheal tube using a convention laryngoscope. In a preferred embodiment, the distal tip of the insertion section and a retained endotracheal tube will be located in the patients median plane during intubation. As the tube guide retains endotracheal tubes substantially in a plane, lateral curvature is avoided, reducing resistance to advancement of the tube.
