Abstract: Disclosed is an antifreezing coolant composition, which does not include glycol but includes environmentally friendly materials, such as a carboxylic acid salt, an anthranilamide compound, a corrosion inhibitor and a triazole compound. The antifreezing coolant composition may form a thin film on the metal surface in cooling systems for vehicles to thereby exhibit high corrosion resistance at low and high temperatures, superior antifreezing performance at low temperatures, and superior cooling performance at high temperatures.

Abstract: A system for determining blood oxygen saturation of a user from a signal responsive to light absorption by tissue of a monitored patient and determine physiological parameters based on the signal. In some examples, the signal may be analyzed in conjunction with motion data, which may include gyroscope and accelerometer data, to determine a pulse rate and/or blood oxygen saturation value.

Abstract: A patient monitoring system to help manage a patient that is at risk of falling is disclosed. The system includes a patient-worn wireless sensor that can be affixed to the patient's back that senses the patient's motion and wirelessly transmits information indicative of the sensed motion to a patient monitor. The patient monitor receives, stores, and processes the transmitted information to determine whether the patient has fallen or is about to fall. Upon such detection, the system can notify the patient's caretakers that the patient has fallen or is about to fall and therefore, is in need of immediate attention.

Abstract: A physiological acoustic monitoring system receives physiological data from an acoustic sensor, down-samples the data to generate raw audio of breathing sounds and compresses the raw audio. The acoustic monitoring system has an acoustic sensor signal responsive to tracheal sounds in a person. An A/D converter is responsive to the sensor signal so as to generate breathing sound data. A decimation filter and mixer down-samples the breathing sound data to raw audio data. A coder/compressor generates compressed audio data from the raw audio data. A decoder/decompressor decodes and decompresses the compressed audio data into decompressed audio data. The decompressed audio data is utilized to generate respiration-related parameters in real-time. The compressed audio data is stored and retrieved so as to generate respiration-related parameters in non-real-time. The real-time and non-real-time parameters are compared to verify matching results across multiple monitors.
