Abstract: An antenna integrated in a device package is formed such that at least a portion of the antenna is elevated with respect to a substrate of the device package. The entire antenna and its functionality are positioned within a space extending vertically upwardly from a footprint of the substrate that contains circuitry of the device. The boundary of the space is defined by the perimeter of an over mold positioned on the substrate and encapsulating the circuitry.

Abstract: A preventive and predictive healthcare platform is provided. This preventive and predictive healthcare platform includes a computer server connected to an electronic communication network. The server has a democratized data store that is owned by the platform user and acts as the single repository of all health information for the platform user (vital signs, medication, wellness profiles, etc.). This data store may be enabled on mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet computers. The server is configured to send and receive healthcare data to healthcare data providers, to process the healthcare data, and to transmit at least some of the healthcare data to one or more users. The preventive and predictive healthcare platform also has an artificial intelligence engine that includes a machine-based learning algorithm which provides a predictive and preventative care model for a platform user.

Abstract: A beneficial photometric analytical method is described according to which an effective amount of at least one analytical agent for photometric analysis, is delivered from a support into a liquid sample, and advantageously a mixing action may be provided, by moving a portion of the support in the sample. The sample may be added to a photometric cell disposed in a photometric instrument, or may be added to a photometric instrument cell chamber (or well). In accordance with an advantageous feature of the method, the photometric instrument is beneficially waterproof. A photometric cell that provides more than one optical path length may beneficially be used, and a particular optical path length selected by rotation of the photometric cell in the cell chamber. Also described is a beneficial photometric apparatus.
