Abstract: An example method includes receiving a first order to conduct a first diagnostic test of a sample from a patient, sending the first order to the first diagnostic testing instrument for input into a queue of the first diagnostic testing instrument, receiving alerts and status of the diagnostic test as testing is performed and for indication of completion of the first diagnostic test, sending the alerts and status of the diagnostic test to a second computing device for notice to a technician, receiving an output of the first diagnostic test, generating a recommendation of follow-on testing to perform based on the output of the first diagnostic test, receiving confirmation to perform the follow-on testing, generating a second order to conduct a second diagnostic test of another sample from the patient, and sending the second order to the second diagnostic testing instrument for input into a queue for the second diagnostic testing instrument.

Abstract: A system for automatically sensing, monitoring, and analyzing livestock to provide age verification and relative vigor metrics. The system generally includes a tag attachable to a livestock, a location detector, and a data processor. The tag senses livestock motion and produces first data indicative of a physical parameter. The location detector senses livestock location and produces second data indicative of the physical parameter. The data processor receives and stores a first aggregation of data of the same type as the first data and a second aggregation of data of the same type as the second data for a plurality of other livestock. The data processor statistically analyzes the first data and second data in relation to the first and second aggregations of data and generates an indication of the age and a relative vigor metric of the livestock.

Abstract: A system and method for animal monitoring is disclosed. The system comprises a bolus communicatively coupled to a plurality of wireless transponder and a wireless network with a base station in communication with the plurality of wireless transponder. The bolus comprises of a plurality of sensor to measure animal characteristic at a pre-configured sampling/polling rate, a processing unit, a memory unit, a clock unit, a transceiver unit and a plurality of antenna unit. The method comprises at least one of the plurality of sensor detecting/identifying a variation in animal characteristic. The processing unit using the memory unit and the real time clock unit is configured to change the corresponding pre-configured sampling/polling rate of the at least one of the plurality of sensor automatically depending on rate of variation in the animal characteristic. The transceiver unit is configured to communicate the automatic changes in pre-configured sampling/polling rate to the plurality of wireless transponder.

Abstract: Some embodiments of an inhalation exposure system can deliver a gas, such as an aerosol, to a set of exposure chambers in a controlled manner and can monitor one or more characteristics of the gas at a variety of aerosol delivery rates for output to a user interface. In some implementations, the improved user interface of the system may alert the user to a fitting range of aerosol delivery rates.

Abstract: A new on chip system, named Acoustic Gym, to apply a surface acoustic wave (SAW) has been developed to control the swimming exercise of a large number of small animals such as C. elegans and Zebra fish, at desired intensities and durations. The SAW device consists of a circular chamber filled with fluid, which is placed in the center between a pair of offset interdigital transducers (IDTs) that are deposited on a piezoelectric substrate. Upon actuation from a radio frequency (RF) source, the SAW is generated and propagates along the substrate towards the microchamber. Once the SAW reaches the chamber, it induces an acoustic streaming in the fluid inside the chamber to stimulate swimming exercise of small animals. The streaming velocity can be precisely controlled via the RF signal input power, thus regulating the duration and intensity of exercise of the animals.
