20120088466, Apr 12, 2012

Filed:

Jan 13, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/006139

Inventors:

Thomas M. Conroy - Redondo Beach CA, US

International Classification:

H04M 11/04

US Classification:

4554041, 379 38

Abstract:

A microprocessor-based emergency response communication system used to call and communicate with the 9-1-1 operator and also allows emergency responder's immediate access to a user's Critical Health Information Profile stored in the device at the point and location of crisis. The device is used to create individual Critical Health Information Profiles which is Health Level-7 compliant enabling it to seamlessly communicate with major hospital networks worldwide. This functional capability provides a system that can retrieve and transmit user-stored personal and health information by emergency responders at the point of care. The emergency responder can access the customer's Critical Health Information Profile database, review the data for pertinent information and then transmit that data to a designated receiving hospital or medical center. The device provides an electronic means of dialing and communicating directly with the 9-1-1 operator. A wireless remote transmitter unit can be activated from the wireless transmitter or the base unit to dial and connect with the 9-1-1 operator, broadcast a canned message with or without a personal-recorded message, and personally communicate with the 9-1-1 operator through a two-way speakerphone system. The device contains software enabling the user and medical personnel the ability to input, store, retrieve and analyze the user's vital sign data and other pertinent health information.

Abstract:

Apparatus and method of sequencing nucleic acid molecules, including DNA and RNA molecules. Several copies of the molecules are labeled with a radioactive tracer and divided into separate groups. The groups of molecules are then each chemically cleaved to produce labeled fragments of varying length which terminate in predetermined bases. The groups of fragments are then introduced into separate columns of electrophoresis gel and voltage is applied across the gel to cause subgroups of the fragments to propagate along the columns at a velocity which is a function of the length of the fragments in the subgroup. Radiation detectors are used to detect the subgroups of fragments as they pass a predetermined position along the gel column, and data corresponding to the order in which the subgroups of fragments are detected is stored in a memory. Such data is then used to determine the bases sequence of the molecules.
