Patent number: 11410777Abstract: This disclosure includes various embodiments of apparatuses, systems and methods for evaluating a patient's cardiac risk and/or mental status. Cardiac risk evaluation may be based (e.g., only) on the patient's respiratory rate, heart rate, diastolic blood pressure, age, and/or mental status. An aggregate score, which is indicative likelihood of the patient's cardiac risk, may be calculated based (e.g., only) on the patient's respiratory rate, heart rate, diastolic blood pressure, age, and/or mental status. If the calculated aggregate score exceeds a predetermined threshold, the patient may be identified as having a critical cardiac risk, and actions may be taken to treat the patient. The cardiac risk evaluation may be based further on the patient's mental status, where the patient's mental status may be evaluated based on a game with visual indicators.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2013Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOInventors: Dana P. Edelson, Matthew Churpek, Robert Gibbons

Patent number: 8432549Abstract: A method of, and apparatus for, determining properties relating to multi-phase systems are provided. In the method, an array of sample tubes each containing a sample of a multi-phase system is formed. An iterative process is used to generate at least two data sets of transmitted and/or backscattered values for each sample and the data sets for each sample are processed to determine at least one property of the sample. The apparatus has a support on which an array of sample tubes each containing a sample of a multi-phase system may be assembled. It also has a wave source and at least one wave detector for detecting transmitted and/or backscattered values for each sample and computer means for iteratively operating said wave source and said at least one detector to generate data sets of transmitted and/or backscattered values for each sample and for processing the data sets for each sample to determine at least one property of the sample.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2009Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: Corn Products Development, Inc.Inventors: John Carroll, Simon Robert Gibbon
