摘要:
According to embodiments of the present invention, an air conduction sensor for detecting a sound from a user is provided. The air conduction sensor includes a housing comprising an opening, wherein a rim of the opening is configured to at least substantially attach to a skin or a clothing of the user; a microphone coupled to the housing such that there is an air gap between the microphone and the skin or the clothing, and wherein the microphone is configured to detect the sound. A system and a method for monitoring a health condition of a user are also provided.

摘要:
A thermoplastic film composition that includes a polymer blend of multiple inherently incompatible polymer components is described. The composition includes a polymer blend having about 5 wt. % to about 45 wt. % of a plasticized natural polymer, about 5 wt. % to about 40 wt % of a polyolefin, a biodegradable polymer, and a compatibilizer with both a polar and a non-polar moiety on the same polymer molecule. The total plasticized natural and biodegradable polymers constitute a majority or predominant phase (≧51 wt. %), while petroleum-based olefinic polymers form the minority phase. The composition can be made into a film containing at least one renewable, natural polymer component. Also described are the articles of manufacture that may use such films.
