摘要:
A patient monitoring system implemented by a service provider for users via recording a patient's analytes measurements by non-invasively interrogating a skin patch placed upon the patient's skin surface. The system includes an input module to provide a device to measure analytes from a patient, such as a measurement of the blood glucose level. The measurement is shared among a plurality of output devices such as computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cellular phones, and pagers that are stationed or held by various users, such as doctors, patients, researchers, pharmacies, labs, and health insurers. In addition, behavioral attributes are recorded and correlated with the analytes measurements to generate a profile. The profile is selectively sent to output devices based on the user profile corresponding to the output device. Also, access to the profile is monitored by a security module that encrypts the profile to prevent access by un-authorized users.

Described here are patches, systems, and methods for measuring glucose. In general, the patches comprise a microfluidic collection layer and a detector, and the systems comprise a patch and a measurement device. Some methods for measuring glucose comprise cleaning the skin surface, collecting sweat from the skin surface using a microfluidic collection device, and measuring the collected glucose. Other methods comprise cleaning the skin surface, collecting sweat in a patch comprising a microfludic collection layer, and measuring glucose collected in the patch. Still other methods comprise cleaning the skin surface, collecting a first sweat sample from the skin surface in a patch comprising a microfludic collection layer and a detector layer, transferring the first sweat sample from the collection layer to the detector layer, measuring glucose in the first sweat sample, and repeating the collection, transferring, and measuring steps at least once.
摘要:
A device is disclosed which is adapted to be mounted on a vehicle to generate a warning pattern on the pavement near the vehicle. An intense, narrow light beam from a laser is directed downward from the device to generate a distinctly visible illuminated warning pattern on the pavement to warn of, for example, the backing-up of the vehicle or, when the vehicle is moving forward, to provide an indication of a safe clearance distance for a following vehicle. Also disclosed is such a device for providing a warning pattern in front of or beside the vehicle.

摘要:
Highly portable, handheld instrument which can be pointed at the produce to be checked. Light from a source within the instrument is directed onto the produce to induce fluorescent emission from the produce, and fluorescent emissions from the produce are monitored with a detector within the instrument to detect the presence of pesticide residue on the produce. The light from the source is filtered to selectively pass light of a wavelength which induces maximum fluorescent emission from the pesticide to be detected, and the emissions from the produce are filtered to selectively pass emissions having a spectral content characteristic of the pesticide to be detected.

Apparatus and methods to further improve the performance of breast IR-imaging are provided, employing a combination of near-IR and mid-IR frequencies for detection of cancer and other types of subsurface defects. In addition, an IR transmissive or transparent window that can be IR-imaged through is disclosed that may also be utilized to one or both of distort the breast and/or manipulate an artificial heat-flow into or out of the breast.
