The headwear assembly can include a wireless charger for charging a rechargeable battery disposed on the headwear assembly.

Abstract: A headwear assembly is provided that measures physiological changes, e.g., oxygen saturation, pulse, blood pressure, and body temperature of a user during physical exercise, to include athletic activities and other situations. The headwear assembly can provide integrated functionality with an external device such as a smart phone. The headwear assembly can be embodied in various configurations, e.g., stand-alone headband, cap, visor, or a helmet.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electrical block implant sized and shaped for securement at the perimeter of the pulmonary ostium of the left atrium. By utilizing various expandable ring designs and optional anchoring mechanisms, the present invention causes even, circular scarring around the perimeter of the pulmonary ostium, achieving reliable blocking of aberrant electrical signals responsible for atrial fibrillation.

Abstract: Faucet Nut Remover provides a convenient and effective method for removing faucet nuts. The invention may comprise a piece of 1½? square tubing with a hole at one end. Inside the tubing can be a spring-loaded shaft measuring approximately 3½? in length, which may extend about 5/16? beyond the tool. The top of the device preferably has four slats, one on each side, used to attach or remove a nut. A cut-out in the center of the tubing may show the spring component and the shaft as it retracts ?? within the tubing. To use, consumers may simply reach under the desired faucet, securely attach the tool to a nut, and turn the device to unscrew the nut. It can be used to remove older sinks, or in new sink installations.

Abstract: The present invention seeks to provide an implant configured to utilize at least two different scar-generating mechanisms that are generated in sequential or overlapping stages. For example, in one embodiment the present invention provides an expandable device that can be positioned at a desired target location within a patient to generate mechanical ablation damage. After a predetermined amount of mechanical ablation has occurred, additional ablation damage is generated by a different source, such as energy delivery, drug delivery, or inflammatory material delivery. In this respect, the overall ablation scarring can be better controlled by utilizing the ablation techniques that are most appropriate at specific phases of a technique or locations within a patient.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention provides a bipolar ablation device with multiple needle electrodes that penetrate a desired target tissue. These electrodes may be arranged in a variety of therapeutically effective arrangements, such as a comb-like shape, a multi-needle wheel, or an expanding bow design. By contacting and preferably penetrating the cardiac tissue with bipolar electrodes, a user can more precisely create ablation-induced scarring and thus electrical block at desired target locations without causing unwanted damage and related complications.

Abstract: Provided are a techniques for viewing objects. An impact analysis view that includes at least one impact analysis path from an original object to a first selected object is displayed. The impact analysis view is output from an impact analysis tool that analyzes how change to the original object impacts other objects. The at least one impact analysis path includes objects through which the original object and selected object are related. The impact analysis view is displayed as a fish eye view.

Abstract: An electronic helmet is provided that includes a helmet body and an integrated electronic system disposed in the helmet body. In an exemplary embodiment, the electronic system provides the user with a number of convenient functions and is operable from a wireless remote control. The components of the electronic system are sufficiently small and rugged for use in the helmet, ensuring that the helmet is lightweight and durable. Moreover, the components are spaced about the helmet to provide even weight distribution to promote overall balance and safety. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the helmet body has a hard outer shell and a hard inner shell mounted to the outer shell such that a cavity is defined between the outer and the inner shells. The inner shell includes suitable material to provide the user effective RF shielding from the electronic system. For example, the inner shell can include nickel-plated carbon fiber to provide RF shielding.

Abstract: The present invention provides positioning mechanisms for devices that cause conduction blocks or ablation in desired areas of tissue. The positioning mechanisms allow for variable geometry of the target sites and enable more accurate therapy at the tissue site.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described that allow powerful multi-dimensional visualization applications to be effectively deployed across large enterprises. The approach employs a zero-footprint client architecture that allows any network (or Internet) connected client device with a web browser that supports industry standard dynamic HTML (i.e., HTML, images and JavaScript) to conduct sophisticated, interactive visualizations of multi-dimensional data. Technical complications and costs associated with large scale deployments are avoided, because client devices are not required to install or execute specialized client-based software. Client actions (e.g., mouse clicks, mouse drags, related screen pointer coordinates, etc.) may be translated into method and application interface (API) calls and transmitted, either directly from a client device or via a visualization web service, to a central visualization server.
