US Patent:

6753783, Jun 22, 2004

Filed:

Apr 1, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/113422

Inventors:

Mark B. Friedman - Pittsburgh PA
Randall W. Casciola - Pittsburgh PA

Assignee:

AugmenTech, Inc. - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

G08B 2300

US Classification:

3405737, 3405731, 3405721, 3405725, 600595, 32420711

Abstract:

A patient position monitoring apparatus and method includes an article configured to be worn by a patient. The article includes a plurality of resonators with each resonator responsive to a wireless excitation signal for causing the unique change in the excitation signal or for outputting a unique wireless response signal. The resonators are stimulated with a first wireless excitation signal when the article is being worn by a patient. The unique change in the excitation signal and /or the unique response signal of each resonator responding to the first excitation signal is determined. From the thus detected response, a signal strength of the unique change in the excitation signal and/or the unique response signal for each responding resonator is determined. From the thus determined signal strengths, the relative locations of the responding resonators with respect to each other can be determined.

International Classification:

G08B 2300

US Classification:

3405735, 3405725, 340604, 604361

Abstract:

A patient fluid discharge monitoring method and apparatus includes at least one article configured to be worn by a patient, the article having absorbent material and a RF tag received adjacent the absorbent material. The RF tag is excited with an excitation signal and the response of the RF tag to the excitation signal is detected. The detected response of the RF tag is compared to a predetermined response. The RF tag has a first detected response when the absorbent material has no fluid therein and a second detected response when the absorbent material has fluid therein.

A61B 5/103

US Classification:

600322, 600476, 600323

Abstract:

Medical device or instrument for diagnosing pressure ulcers using optical reflectance spectroscopy. The device may comprise a tip and a controller. The tip is pressed against the skin of the patient and collects the optical reflectance data. The controller processes the data to determine whether there exists a pressure ulcer and, if there is one, its depth. The tip may also include a pressure sensor for sensing the pressure at which the tip is applied to the patient's skin.

Rodger Thomason - Santa Monica CA, US

International Classification:

A63B021/005

US Classification:

482005000, 482092000

Abstract:

An exercise device, method of making the device and a method and system for interaction with an exercise device, in which removable, variable weight may be provided in a housing of the device. Two rotatable handles may be provided in the housing, permitting various hand orientations during exercise. The removable weight may be provided near the center of the exercise device, with the handles substantially outboard the weight. Weight may thus be efficiently added or removed in a central area of the housing between the handles.

Abstract:

An improved and automated ASP-delivered loan workout system, inclusive of communication architecture and software method that assists a user in improving the dialogue and counseling sessions between user, borrower, and other involved parties, and which increases loan servicer efficiency while decreasing the time and expense necessary to process loss mitigation cases-including identification of an appropriate financial workout solution, via the use of logical decision tree-based interviews-increases the rate of identification of viable loss mitigation options, and selects and manages the best loss mitigation solution, all in real-time, and within investor and lender requirements, within loan guarantor and insurer conditions, and in compliance with rapidly changing industry standards and government rules.
