    Abstract: An apparatus includes a pre-sample reservoir, a diversion mechanism, and a flow metering mechanism. The diversion mechanism has an inlet port couplable to a lumen-defining device to receive bodily-fluids from a patient, a first outlet port fluidically couplable to the pre-sample reservoir, and a second outlet port fluidically couplable to a sample reservoir. The diversion mechanism defines a first fluid flow path and a second flow path that are configured to place the first outlet port and the second outlet port, respectively, in fluid communication with the inlet port. The flow metering mechanism is configured to meter a flow of a predetermined volume of bodily-fluid through the first fluid flow path into the pre-sample reservoir, to meter a flow of a second volume of bodily-fluid through the second fluid flow path into the sample reservoir, and to display a volumetric indicator associated with the predetermined volume and the second volume.

  • Publication number: 20240008815
    Abstract: The article (100) comprises a textile body (101), a conductive region (103) and an embossing material (105). The embossing material 105 causes the conductive region (103) to adopt and retain a raised, embossed, profile (107) that projects outwardly from a surface (102) of the textile body (101). The method comprises applying heat and/or pressure to the article (100) to cause the article (100) to adopt the embossed profile (107). The raised, embossed, profile (107) is retained upon release of the applied heat and/or pressure as the embossing material (105) has bonded to the textile body (101) due to the application of heat and/or pressure.

    Abstract: A biological data measurement system is provided that includes an annular biosensor and a mobile control unit. The annular biosensor includes a body that has an annular shape and is configured to be worn on a finger and a sensor that measures, for example, a blood pressure. The mobile control unit includes an imager that captures images, and a display that prompts a user holding the mobile control unit in one hand to cause the imager to capture an image of a face of the user and another hand wearing the annular biosensor and displays the captured image. The mobile control unit also includes a controller that determines, based on the image, whether the other hand is at the height of a chest and controls the biological data measurement system based on the result of the determination to obtain data such as the blood pressure.

  • Publication number: 20240008820
    Abstract: In a method and system for reducing motion artifacts in magnetic resonance image data acquired from a facial region of a patient, the patient is positioned in an imaging region of a magnetic resonance imaging device configured to perform a magnetic resonance measurement of the facial region of the patient, the magnetic resonance measurement is performed to acquire magnetic resonance image data of the facial region of the patient, and a motion correction technique is employed exploiting an accessibility to the facial region of the patient during the magnetic resonance measurement. The motion correction technique advantageously reduces an influence of a patient motion on the magnetic resonance image data.

  • Publication number: 20240008821
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and classifying premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are discussed. An exemplary system includes a sensor circuit to sense a cardiac signal of a subject, and a processor circuit to detect heartbeats from the cardiac signal and detect a PVC under a first detection mode or a different second detection mode. The first detection mode includes identifying a PVC candidate of a particular type using cardiac intervals or signal amplitudes of the detected heartbeats, and classifying the identified PVC candidate as a PVC singleton or a pattern of multiple consecutive PVCs using signal features including morphology features of the sensed cardiac signal. The second detection mode includes detecting PVC of the particular type using the cardiac intervals or the signal amplitudes of the detected heartbeats. The first detection mode can be transitioned to the second detection mode in response to a mode-switching trigger event.

    Abstract: An imaging system and methods including a gantry defining a bore and an imaging axis extending through the bore, and at least one support member that supports the gantry such that the imaging axis has a generally vertical orientation, where the gantry is displaceable with respect to the at least one support member in a generally vertical direction. The imaging system may be configured to obtain a vertical imaging scan (e.g., a helical x-ray CT scan), of a patient in a weight-bearing position. The gantry may be rotatable between a first position, in which the gantry is supported such that the imaging axis has a generally vertical orientation, and a second position, such that the imaging axis has a generally horizontal orientation. The gantry may be displaceable in a horizontal direction and the system may perform a horizontal scan of a patient or object positioned within the bore.

  • Publication number: 20240008826
    Abstract: An X-ray detection unit includes an X-ray detector that receives and detects the X-ray beam transmitted through the head. The support supports the X-ray generation unit and the X-ray detection unit. A drive mechanism moves the support such that the X-ray generation unit and the X-ray detection unit turn about an axis extending in a direction parallel to an apparatus vertical direction and around the head. An X-ray generation source moving unit moves the X-ray generation source in the apparatus vertical direction. The X-ray imaging apparatus increases a spread in the apparatus vertical direction of the X-ray beam when the X-ray generation source is located on an apparatus upper side, and decreases a spread in the apparatus vertical direction of the X-ray beam when the X-ray generation source is located on an apparatus lower side.
