Abstract:
A method of identifying and classifying social complex behaviors among a group of model organisms, comprising implanting at least one RFID transponder in each model organism in said group of model organisms; enclosing said group of model organisms in a monitored space divided into RFID monitored segments; RFID tracking a position of each model organism by reading said at least one RFID transponder in each model organism over a period of time; capturing a sequence of images of each model organism over said period of time; and calculating at least one spatiotemporal model of each model organism based on time synchronization of said RFID tracked position of said model organism with said sequence of images.
Abstract:
A system for assisted coughing includes a first sensor for measuring a parameter which can indicate a closed glottis and producing a first signal, a processor for receiving the first signal, determining a state indicating the closed glottis and generating an instruction for a Functional Electric Stimulation (FES) controller based, at least in part, on the determining, and a FES controller for generating an electric stimulation signal.
Abstract:
A device for controlling respiration during sleep based on the user physiological characteristic. The device includes an odor disperser for dispersing an odor; at least one detector for detecting a physiological characteristic of a user; and a controller for controlling respiration of the user by instructing the odor dispenser to disperse an odor responsive to detections by the at least one detector.
Abstract:
A nasal cannula includes a prong formed from an inner cylindrical wall surrounded by an outer cylindrical wall, a base connecting the inner cylindrical wall to the outer cylindrical wall and an air channel formed between the inner and outer cylindrical wall. The inner cylindrical wall defines a bore through which air may freely flow. The nasal cannula additional includes a connector fluidly connected to the air channel and configured to provide flow communication between the air channel and an external device connected to the connector.
