Abstract: A system comprising processing circuitry configured to receive a wirelessly-transmitted message from a medical device, the message indicating that the medical device detected an acute health event of the patient. In response to the message, the processing circuitry is configured to determine a location of the patient, determine an alert area based on the location of the patient, and control transmission of an alert of the acute heath event of the patient to any one or more computing devices of one or more potential responders within the alert area.

Abstract: An airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes a first portion joined to a second portion along an interface such that at least the first portion establishes an airfoil section and the second portion establishes a root section. The airfoil section includes an airfoil body that extends between leading and trailing edges in a chordwise direction, between pressure and suction sides separated in a thickness direction, and from the root section to a tip portion in a spanwise direction. A recessed region extends inwardly from at least one of the pressure and suction sides. The airfoil body includes at least one rib that bounds a respective pocket within a perimeter of the recessed region. The recessed region and the at least one rib are dimensioned to extend across the interface. A cover skin is coupled to the airfoil body along the at least one rib to enclose the recessed region.

Abstract: A method of forming an airfoil includes the steps of (a) providing an airfoil body with a hollow having at least one rib extending to an outer surface, and forming the outer surface of the rib to have at least one groove connecting a hollow pocket within a boundary defined by the rib to a location outwardly of the rib, (b) placing a cover over the hollow, and (c) welding the cover to the airfoil body, and such that the rib is welded to the blade cover. An intermediate airfoil body is also disclosed.
