  • Publication number: 20250134393
    Abstract: A device which provides a measure of the compliance of a vessel wall based on a change in pressure, which causes the vessel to distend. The device comprises a coil and capacitor, forming a tank circuit. The coil is expandable and positioned along a portion of the vessel so that when the portion of the vessel expands or contracts, the coil will also expand or contract, changing the area inside the coil. This change in area alters the coil inductance, and therefore the resonant frequency of the tank circuit, which can be detected externally.

  • Publication number: 20240295502
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for coating pharmaceutical vessels, e.g. with a coating set that includes an oxygen barrier layer, that reduce the amount of particles present on the coated vessels. The present disclosure also relates to methods and systems for removing particles from vessels, e.g. after a coating is applied to an inner surface of the vessel. The present disclosure also relates to methods and systems for inspecting pharmaceutical vessels for particles prior to filling using machine based visual analysis. Each of the above may be controlled and performed by one or more processors, thereby enabling a fully automated coating, cleaning, and/or inspecting operation for pharmaceutical vessels.

  • Patent number: 12048515
    Abstract: A device which provides a measure of the compliance of a vessel wall based on a change in pressure, which causes the vessel to distend. The device comprises a coil and capacitor, forming a tank circuit. The coil is expandable and positioned along a portion of the vessel so that when the portion of the vessel expands or contracts, the coil will also expand or contract, changing the area in side the coil. This change in area alters the coil inductance, and therefore the resonant frequency of the tank circuit, which can be detected externally.

  • Publication number: 20240206745
    Abstract: A system and method of monitoring a person to detect the onset of an illness. A monitoring unit collects biometric data and exchanges that data with a remote electronic device. Using the monitoring device, a person is monitored across multiple days. The biometric data collected determines a statistical profile for the collected data. After the statistical profile is calculated, the person can be actively monitored as he/she sleeps. The monitoring occurs during a sample period of sleep. The biometric data collected during the sample period is averaged to obtain a statistical value. The statistical value is compared to the statistical profile of the biometric data. If the sampled biometric data falls outside the statistical profile, a warning is produced on the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20240203227
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a person within a defined area by detecting breathing, or the lack thereof. Breathing is detected using radar signals, camera signals and/or microphone signals. The radar signals, camera signals and/or microphone signals are analyzed to determine if the subject person is moving, and if not moving if the person is breathing or not-breathing. An alarm is generated should the reflected radar signals, the camera signals and the microphone signals all simultaneously indicate no movement and no movement of the subject person in the defined area for a selected period of time.

  • Publication number: 20220071556
    Abstract: A system and method for generating biofeedback using feedback signals created by at least one media device. A subject person is monitored to obtain biometric data. The biometric data is used to generate a biometric waveform. The biometric waveform is used to generate control signals. The control signals are used to regulate audio signals, lighting, audiovisual imagery and/or auxiliary devices so that these feedbacks are altered to represent some waveform characteristic embodied by the biometric waveform. The subject person will hear and/or see the feedback and will better be able to control their body and mind.

  • Publication number: 20210278042
    Abstract: A leak containment system includes a mounting bracket, a tray, and a locking mechanism. The mounting bracket has a first rail, a second rail, and a panel extending between the first rails and the second rail. The panel is vertically offset from feet formed on the first rail, and a channel is defined by at least the first rail and an underside of the panel. The tray is removably received within the channel. The tray includes a bottom surface surrounded by perimeter walls that together define a fluid container. The perimeter walls include a front perimeter wall that extends upwardly above the other walls. The locking mechanism is coupled to the mounting bracket and is configured to selectively engage the front perimeter wall of the tray to restrict movement of the tray outward from the channel.
