Abstract: A methods, an apparatus, a computer-readable medium, and a system for integrating data from a plurality of devices. The first data is received from a first device and the second data is received from a second device, which is a different type of device than the first device. Type of data is determined and additional data is generated based on the determined type of data received from these different devices. The additional data includes searchable metadata and/or one or more triggers based on a combination of the first and second received data. Accordingly, searchable metadata for recordings and metric values from various devices used in a session are generated. Additionally, annotations may be provided to emphasize the occurrence of triggering events.

Abstract: A method and a system of standardizing data from devices such as medical simulators. The method includes receiving data from a device, determining by a computer type of information provided in the received data, converting the information into a predetermined format based on the determined type and generating a message based on the determined type, the message comprising the converted information in the predetermined format. In this method, type of the information is different based on a stage of a process in which the received data was provided.

Abstract: A reliable and mass-producible microelectromechanical (MEMS)-based microwave intracranial pressure sensing device for use with a portable microwave monitor and methods for non-invasively monitoring intracranial pressure with this device are provided.

Abstract: A system for inexpensively placing an active fall-protection system in a floor is described. The floor is tessellated with large octagonal tiles and smaller square tiles. Each large octagonal tile contains a sodium azide-loaded airbag that expands, upon detonation, to 18 cm tall. Each square tile contains an infrared proximity detector and a differentiation. Upon accelerating approach of a large enough infrared-emitting object (such as a falling human body) the square tile detonates the four adjacent octagonal tiles. In this manner, the airbag tiles are deployed over the area of the floor destined to be impacted. Since the detectors respond to accelerating, large infrared-emitting objects, the floor tiles will not deploy during normal activities.

Abstract: A system and method for interrogating implanted passive resonant circuits is described. The resonant frequency is detected by transmitting a train of short pulses and then listening between the pulses for output of the resonant circuit. With proper spacing between the pulses, a vastly improved signal-to-noise ratio is obtained.

Abstract: A system for monitoring intracranial pressure by an implantable cavity resonator unit and an associated externally located transceiver unit. The resonator unit includes a dielectric-filled cavity having a predetermined resonance frequency for high frequency electromagnetic waves. The cavity is bounded by a wall having a pair of intersecting slots forming a slot antenna and a deflectable diaphragm in communication with the interior of the cranium to deflect as a function of intracranial pressure. The deflection alters the resonance frequency of the cavity. The transceiver unit includes a linear wave guide having a pair of electrically conductive probes located in it. At least one of the probes is arranged to transmit an electromagnetic excitation wave from an associated transmitter through the slot antenna to cause the cavity to resonate at an altered resonance frequency, whereupon a resonance wave is reflected out of the cavity through the slot antenna.
