Medical Device Placement and Monitoring System Utilizing Radio Frequency Identification

A medical device placement and monitoring system is provided that includes numerous circuits that can be used alone or in combination. The circuits include a feedback initiator, a feedback receiver, and a clinician notifying device. By various means in the provided circuits, the feedback initiator provides information about the location of a radio frequency identification tag secured to a medical device inserted within a patient. This information or data is received and analyzed by the feedback receiver that monitors the circuit, which then transmits an output to the clinician notifying device to alert or advise the attending clinician of this information. The data that is output supplies information about the location of the radio frequency identification tag to the clinician, thereby assisting the clinician in placement of a variety of medical devices including nasogastric or endotracheal tubes, as well as in monitoring proper device placement after initial insertion.

Method of preparing rheological materials for bone and cartilage repair

Methods of mixing delivering biocompatible cement, paste, putty, or gel for bone and cartilage repair are described in this invention. Powder-like solid materials are loaded into a first syringe. Liquids are loaded into one or multiple syringes. The liquids are injected into the first syringe containing the solid materials. To force the liquids through the solid, prevent bubble formation and provide intimate intermixing, the liquids are injected in the very proximity of the plunger end of the syringe containing the solid materials. The first syringe is preferably held vertical with the tip facing up so as to avoid bubble formation that in turn could cause back-pressure build-up and plug the first syringe during injection. The described methods of mixing the liquids with the solids allows to form a rheological paste, cement, putty, or gel in the first syringe. As injection into the human or animal body proceeds, the paste then flows without complications often caused by entrapped bubbles or improper / heterogeneous mixing. The preparation and injection processes can be conducted at temperatures that do not damage live tissue or denature proteins. The paste, cement, putty, or gel can be injected into bone through the cannula by hand or with a pressurizing system. The method reduces the amount of time needed to prepare the paste and load it into the syringe and provides a device that is easily prepared for injection.

Missile system for breaching reinforced concrete barriers utilizing hinged explosively formed projectile warheads

A hinged explosively formed projectile warhead system eliminates exposure of soldiers to harm in wall breaching operations by providing a lethal mechanism that can be deployed at safe distances, simultaneously breaching a man-sized hole and removing one or more rows of rebar in reinforced concrete structures or barriers. The warhead system employs both a missile system and explosively formed projectile warhead technology delivered to the target from a tube launched platform. A set of warhead arms is attached to the aft end of a missile body by means of a set of hinges. The warhead arms are initially folded against the missile body. After launch of the warhead system, the warhead arms fold away from the missile body. The angle at which the warhead arms are folded from the missile body determines the area of a hole breached by the warhead system in a reinforced concrete target.

Shape measuring device and shape measuring method

An exposure time is changed stepwise, a light receiving amount output from a light receiving section is obtained at each exposure time, which is changed stepwise, and height image data, in which each pixel value indicates a height of each portion of a surface of a measuring object, is generated based on the obtained light receiving amount. It is determined whether each pixel constituting each height image is valid or invalid based on the obtained light receiving amount. An exposure time, which corresponds to a height image in which the number of pixels determined to be valid satisfies a predetermined condition, is set as a set value.

System and methods for secure user interface session recording, transmission, and replay without third party disclosure

A user's session of a web application or a website in a web browser is recorded and replayed while protecting private and sensitive data from unauthorized access. All the captured data needed to re-create (replay) the user's session in the browser itself is recorded and exported on demand. The need to transmit potentially sensitive and private data continuously to external server(s) is eliminated while still guaranteeing availability of a record of user activity leading up to any point of interest during the user's session. By encrypting recording information and redacting all non-layout content (e.g. text nodes, images, inputs) from the browser DOM before capturing the DOM, the visual layout of the page is maintained and the probability of leaking the user's sensitive or private information is reduced. The replaying user is still able to derive meaningful information about the user's interaction with the web application or website without jeopardizing privacy.

Hologram recording method and hologram recording apparatus

InactiveUS20050012971A1High-density recordingHigh-density recording can reliably be realizedPhotomechanical apparatusRecord information storageHigh densityLight beam
A hologram is recorded by irradiating, with a reference light beam, a region corresponding to an intensity distribution of a signal light beam on an optical recording medium. For example, the reference light beam having the intensity distribution which substantially coincides with the intensity distribution of the signal light beam is generated, and only the region which substantially coincides with the region irradiated by the signal light beam (i.e., the signal light beam defocused region) is irradiated with the reference light beam. This enables only the necessary region to be exposed and the regions which need not be exposed not to be exposed. Accordingly, the hologram can be recorded without losing information of the signal light beam and thus high-density recording can be realized.
