Appl. No.:

11/421564

Inventors:

W. Kenneth Ward - Portland OR, US
Peter G. Jacobs - Portland OR, US

Assignee:

Isense Corporation - Wilsonville OR

International Classification:

A61B 5/00

US Classification:

600365, 600309

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention improve the accuracy of measurements and/or in vivo calibrations of a biosensor by (1) using more than one sensor signal value and/or more than one directly sampled and measured value, such as a capillary blood glucose value, and/or by (2) delaying the acquisition of a sensor output value that is compared with a directly sampled and measured value, such as a capillary blood glucose value, during a calibration. In an embodiment of the present invention, the median of a series of measured values, or a median or mean of the medians, may be utilized to provide more consistent and accurate measurement data and/or to compensate for error or artifact.

International Classification:

C10G 45/60

US Classification:

20821600R, 208213000

Abstract:

A process for the removal of sulfur compounds from FCC catalytic naphtha which is simple to implement and is economical in operation operates by selectively hydrofining the cracked naphtha to remove sulfur without sacrificing octane (hydrodesulfurization typically around 85%) followed by a downstream alkylation which will remove residual sulfur from the gasoline boiling range. The alkylation is carried out using a solid, acidic molecular sieve catalyst under mild conditions to shift sulfur species from the lighter, olefin-rich portions of the naphtha to the heavy, olefin-poor gasoline. Separation of the heavy portion of the treated product followed by catalytic hydrodesulfurization or some other means (e.g. sorption) removes the sulfur from the heavy portion without losing significant octane value. Some of the heavy compounds formed in this process can drop out of the gasoline range, into the kero/light diesel range; this stream can be hydrotreated without penalty since octane is not a requirement for the middle distillate fuels.

International Classification:

G08B 19/00

US Classification:

340521

Abstract:

The invention relates to a system and method for monitoring the location, movement and health of one or more individuals within an environment by a monitoring individual, such as a care giver. The system used includes optional monitoring devices including a wireless transceiver, access point devices including a wireless transceiver, a hub access point device including a wireless transceiver, and a local computing device. The system is programmed such that it has the capability to operate with or without the measure of time of flight value from the optional monitoring devices such that the system has the capability of monitoring the location, movement and health of an individual whether or not the individual is wearing the monitoring device.

International Classification:

A61B 5/12

US Classification:

600559

Abstract:

Methods and systems for monitoring or testing the hearing of a user using a portable unit include presenting a plurality of test frequencies for selection by a user and storing data about those frequencies, and the user's response to stimuli presented at those frequencies, and comparing the stored data to previously acquired hearing data. Using mathematical prediction algorithms, changes in baseline hearing values can be used to identify potential hearing issues, especially hearing issues associated with ototoxicity.
