Appl. No.:

13/101475

Inventors:

Philip Blyskal - Princeton NJ, US

Jeffrey Rogers - Essex CT, US

Assignee:

Contract Furniture Supply Ltd - Essex CT

International Classification:

A47C 19/02

US Classification:

5285, 5286, 5400

Abstract:

A bed form () is made from easy to recycle sections () and can be quickly assembled without tools by means of fasteners () that can be secured by hand. An egg carton-like base () is formed from a first set of long sections () having slots on the top edge () thereof that engage with slots () in the bottom edge () of a second set of shorter sections (). The long and short sections () are preferably molded from structural foam and the top edge () of the long sections () include a plurality of threaded male projections () molded into them. Fasteners () are used to attach upper deck sections () to the threaded projections () on the base (). Each fastener () includes a top flange (), a hollow cylindrical body () having an hand engageable fin () therein and a lower end having a female threaded section () that engages the exterior treads of the threaded projections () on the base (). An individual places one of several fasteners () in one of the apertures () in one of several deck sections (), grabs the interior fin (), engages the threaded projection () with the female interior threads (), and manually rotates the fastener () until the flange () pulls the deck section () firmly down onto the base ().

International Classification:

G05B 19/00

US Classification:

340005520, 382115000, 704270000, 070277000

Abstract:

In one embodiment the present invention includes a biometric information recognizer and a shape memory material. The biometric information recognizer recognizes biometric information (such as speech) and signals the shape memory material with a current. The current causes the shape memory material to change shape, thereby reconfiguring a mechanical device. Such mechanical device may include a lock. In such manner, the lock may be isolated from external tampering (such as physical stressing) yet receptive to biometric information for controlling access.

Abstract:

This document describes ways in which to alter physiological signals to address corrupt, noisy, or otherwise faulty data. By so doing, accuracy and robustness in sensing and assessing a patient's cardiovascular health can be improved. These improved assessments permit better measures of health, such as relevant hemodynamics understood by heart rates, heart rate variability, cardiac arrhythmias, blood pressures, pulse-wave velocities, arterial stiffness, cardiac valve timing, thoracic fluids, ballistocardiogram force, photo-plethysmograms, blood oxygenation, and pressure-volume loops.

Abstract:

This document describes assessing cardiovascular function using an optical sensor, such as through sensing relevant hemodynamics understood by pulse transit times, blood pressures, pulse-wave velocities, and, in more breadth, ballistocardiograms and pressure-volume loops. The techniques disclosed in this document use various optical sensors to sense hemodynamics, such as skin color and skin and other organ displacement. These optical sensors require little if any risk to the patient and are simple and easy for the patient to use.

Inventors:

- Mountain View CA, US
Jeffrey L. Rogers - San Carlos CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 19/00

Abstract:

This document describes techniques and apparatuses enabling determination of health state trends for a consistent patient situation. Various noninvasive health monitors can be used to sense a patient's situation and health states, including disease progression, at those states. These noninvasive health monitors may also act passively and in a patient's normal course of life, which enhances many patient's desire to submit to monitoring, as well as increase consistency of use, as in many cases the patient does little or nothing to cause his or her health monitoring and health-trend determination. With health states determined for a consistent patient situation, more accurate and more robust health trends can be determined.

Abstract:

This document describes synchronizing cardiovascular sensors for cardiovascular monitoring, such as through sensing relevant hemodynamics understood by pulse transit times, blood pressures, pulse-wave velocities, and, in more breadth, electrical conduction properties, cardiac rhythms, thoracic impedance, ballistocardiograms and pressure-volume loops. The techniques disclosed in this document use various cardiovascular sensors to sense hemodynamics, such as skin color and skin and other organ displacement. These cardiovascular sensors require little if any risk to the patient and are simple and easy for the patient to use.

Abstract:

This document describes the assessment of human physiological systems in a manner that can be applied throughout the population. Various noninvasive sensors (including wearable, passive contact, and noncontact) can be used to detect vitals and other parameters and combined with mathematical models to assess the functional state of physiological systems. For example, the health of the cardiovascular system is ultimately determined by organ blood perfusion and molecular gas exchange. In lieu of measuring these functional metrics directly, invasive sensors can be used to monitor cardiac pressures and volumes, along with pressure transit through the vascular to quantify cardiovascular health. While known to be effective these invasive techniques often require surgery and are resource intensive limiting their use to the few cases where the risks and costs are of clear immediate benefit. In contrast, noninvasive health monitors present little if any risk to the person and are simple and easy for the person to use. Further, the techniques described herein can determine trends in a person's cardiovascular health. With these trends, a person can know if the effort they are expending to improve their heart health is actually making a difference. Further, negative trends can be found that can spur people to improve their health or to get medical attention. By so doing, these techniques may reduce mortality.
