摘要： This invention is a hand-held spectroscopic food sensor for analyzing the chemical and/or nutritional composition of food which projects a beam of light that serves as a fiducial marker for image analysis to better estimate the size and/or quantity of the food. In an example, this hand-held spectroscopic food sensor can be in wireless communication with a wearable or implanted device which detects eating and the person can be prompted to use the hand-held spectroscopic food sensor when data collected by the wearable or implanted device indicates that the person is eating.

摘要： This invention can be embodied as a device implanted into an intervertebral disk space comprising: a distal portion shaped like a rounded rectangular, trapezoidal, or elliptical column; and a proximal portion shaped like a convex, concave, or straight-walled frustum. The proximal portion spans between 25% and 75% of the implant length. This invention can also be a method wherein a recess is drilled into the intervertebral disk tissue and the adjacent vertebrae such that the proximal portion of the implant fits snugly into the recess. This device and method can enable minimally-invasive insertion of the implant from a relatively wide range of entry angles and under conditions of limited visibility. This is especially advantageous for lateral insertion into a lower section of the spine such as the Lumbar 5 Sacral 1 disk space or the Lumbar 4 Lumbar 5 disk space.

摘要： This invention is a device and method for reducing blood flow into an aneurysm, especially a cerebral aneurysm, in order to promote therapeutic embolization of the aneurysm. The device comprises: at least one core member that is inserted into the aneurysm; and at least one longitudinal flexible member that is wound repeatedly around the core member within the aneurysm. The longitudinal flexible member is wound around the core member until the rotational accumulation of the flexible member reduces blood flow into the aneurysm and promotes therapeutic embolization of the aneurysm.

摘要： This invention is a device and method for adjustably and reversibly reducing nutrient absorption from food passing through a person's gastrointestinal tract using an Adjustable Gastrointestinal Bifurcation (AGB) and a flow-control member. The Adjustable Gastrointestinal Bifurcation (AGB) includes: a first food-flow route (comprising a first branch of the AGB) through the person's gastrointestinal tract wherein there is normal absorption of nutrients from food; and a second food-flow route (comprising a second branch of the AGB) through the person's gastrointestinal tract wherein there is reduced absorption of nutrients from food. The flow-control member adjusts the types and/or amounts of food which are diverted through the second food-flow route versus the first food-flow route.

摘要： This invention comprises a flexibly-resilient system of lighting that spans a bilateral safety zone around a bicycle in the upper-rear quadrant of space around the bicycle that can be clearly seen by the driver of a vehicle approaching the bicycle from the rear. This invention can help to prevent bicyclists from being hit by a vehicle from behind during the evening or at night, especially when a bicyclist is stopped at an intersection. This bicycle lighting system may also prove useful for reducing the chances of bicyclists being hit by vehicles that are turning right at an intersection, at any time of the day. This invention corrects many of the limitations of the prior art and can be a significant advance in bicycle safety.

摘要： This present invention is a personal mobility device for transporting a person over different surfaces and obstacles. This invention comprises novel technology that can be used for next-generation motorized wheelchairs that enable people to travel outside during winter months, to go “off-road,” and to travel up and down staircases independently. This invention features shape-changing wheels that change shape to travel more effectively on different surfaces and obstacles. The shape of a shape-changing wheel is changed by the motorized rotation of at least two rotating members that are part of the shape-changing wheel. Rotation of these rotating members into a first configuration causes the ground-contacting perimeter of the wheel to be circular. Rotation of these rotating members into a second configuration causes the ground-contacting perimeter of the wheel to be non-circular.

摘要： This invention is a method, device, and system to provide respiratory assistance to people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), or other respiratory conditions, comprising harvesting and storing energy from gas outflow during exhalation and using that stored energy to increase gas inflow during inhalation. In an example, this invention may provide Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) or Continuous positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). This invention can be embodied in a self-contained energy-harvesting positive airway pressure mask, nasal inserts, or mouth appliance. This invention offers a combination of the following five benefits for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) treatment: minimally-invasive; energy self-sufficient; freedom of movement; hypercapnia avoidance; and adjustable energy harvesting over multiple respiratory cycles.
