摘要:
A method for enhancing an immune response in a vertebrate subject is described. The method includes providing at least one energy stimulus configured to modulate one or more nervous system components of the vertebrate subject, and administering one or more immunogen to the vertebrate subject, wherein the at least one energy stimulus and the one or more immunogen are provided in a combination and in a temporal sequence sufficient to enhance an immune response in the vertebrate subject.

In one embodiment, a multi-layer insulation (MLI) composite material includes a first thermally-reflective layer and a second thermally-reflective layer spaced from the first thermally-reflective layer. At least one of the first or second thermally-reflective layers includes bandgap material that is reflective to infrared electromagnetic radiation. A region between the first and second thermally-reflective layers impedes heat conduction between the first and second thermally-reflective layers. Other embodiments include a storage container including a container structure that may be at least partially formed from such MLI composite materials, and methods of using such MLI composite materials.
摘要:
Methods and related systems for modulating neural activity by repetitively blocking conduction in peripheral neural structures with chemical blocking agents are disclosed. Methods and systems for reversing effects of chemical blocking agents and/or for producing substantially permanent conduction block are also disclosed.
摘要:
Methods and related systems for modulating neural activity by repetitively or cyclically blocking conduction in a peripheral neural structure are disclosed. Timing of delivery of blocking stimuli may be based upon overall activity level of the subject or use/activity of a portion of the body of a subject.

A computer or entertainment system is configured to respond to data received from a micro impulse radar configured to detect movement, physiology, posture, presence, and/or absence of a person in one or more regions near the computer or entertainment system.
摘要:
Described embodiments include a system, an apparatus, and a method. A described system includes a portable power receiver configured to wirelessly receive electrical or radiant power from a wireless power transmitter source, and configured to be carried by a health care provider proximate to a first body portion of the health care provider. The system also includes a portable power-output device configured to interact with a power-receiving device connected to a handheld medical device, and configured to be carried by the health care provider proximate to a second body portion of the health care provider. If interacting, the electrical or radiant power is transferred from the portable power-output device to the power-receiving device. The system further includes a connective structure configured to transfer the electrical or radiant power between the portable power receiver and the portable power-output device.

Described embodiments include a system, apparatus, and method. A described system includes a power-receiving connector configured to be usable after sterilization, to releasably couple with a power-source connector, and configured to be carried by a health care provider proximate to a first body portion. If coupled, the power-receiving connector is operable to receive an electrical or radiant power from the power-source connector. The system also includes a power-output device configured to be usable after sterilization, to interact with a power-receiving device connected to a handheld medical device, and configured to be carried by the health care provider proximate to a second body portion. If interacting, the received electrical or radiant power is transferred from the power-output device to the power-receiving device. The system further includes a wearable connective structure configured to be usable after sterilization, and to transfer the received electrical or radiant power from the power-receiving connector to the power-output device.
摘要:
Described embodiments include a system, an apparatus, and a method. A described system includes a power receiver configured to wirelessly receive a first power from a wireless power transmitter source, and configured to be carried by a health care provider. The system also includes an energy storage device configured to store energy derived from the first power, to supply a second power, and configured to be carried by the health care provider. The system further includes a power-output device configured to interact with a power-receiving device connected to a handheld medical device, and configured to be carried by the health care provider proximate. If interacting, a third power is transferred from the power-output device to the power-receiving device. The system also includes a first connective structure configured to transfer the first power between the portable power receiver and the energy storage device, and configured to be carried by the health care provider.
