20020022973, Feb 21, 2002
Filed:

Mar 21, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/814143
Inventors:

Jianguo Sun - Belmont CA, US
Robert Crouch - Monroeville PA, US
Eugene Scarberry - Trafford PA, US
William Kaigler - North Huntingdon PA, US
Julia Tverskaya - Palo Alto CA, US
Kenny Huang - Sunnyvale CA, US
Andrew Kwok - Freemont CA, US
International Classification:

G06F017/60
US Classification:

705/003000
Abstract:

A medical information management system and method that stores and manages patient information and that enables a patient and an authorized third party, such as a friend or family member, to access the patient's medical information. The presentation format, substance of the patient's medical information provided, or both are customized depending on whether the patient, a healthcare professional or the third party is accessing the patient's medical information. The present invention also pertains to a method of subsidizing such a medical information system by selling advertising space in the presentation shown to the third party, patient, or the healthcare professional. The present invention further pertains to a patient interface appliance that includes a display containing multiple viewing fields, one of which is a general information field and one of which is an advertising field, to present information and advertisements to a user during a patient interactive session. Patient participation in conducting the survey is fostered by offering a survey completion reward to the patient upon completing the survey.

Abstract:

A system for monitoring wellness of a person, includes a local system in the vicinity of the person. The local system includes a plurality of sensor systems. Each of the plurality of sensor systems is associated with at least one monitored system to monitor changes in state of the monitored systems caused by activity or lack of activity of the person. The local system further includes a local data communication device in communicative connection with each of the plurality of sensor system to receive data from each of the plurality of sensor systems. The system further includes a remote system in communication with the local data communication device. The remote system includes a processing system to process data from the plurality of sensor system based upon predetermined rules. The local data communication device is programmed to transmit data to the remote system. The data transmitted to the remote system includes information on state history of the monitored systems. The data on state history may, for example, include at least a time of a change in from a first state to a second and data related to duration of the second state.

A61B 5/08
US Classification:

7386253, 73862581, 600528, 600500
Abstract:

A presence sensor system includes at least one resilient extending member defining an enclosed sensing volume. The sensing volume includes a fluid therein. A pressure within the sensing volume changes upon application of force to the extending member. The presence sensor system further includes a pressure sensor in fluid connection with the sensing volume, a processor system in communicative connection with the pressure sensor and a communication system in communicative connection with the processor system. In a number of embodiments, the presence sensor system is adapted to determine a pressure threshold associated with onset of presence after being placed in use.

WILLIAM KAIGLER - WEXFORD PA, US
International Classification:

G01F 1/66
G06F 19/00
US Classification:

702 48
Abstract:

A sensor system to monitor water usage in a conduit system includes at least one acoustic sensor adapted to be placed in operative connection with a conduit of the conduit system, a power supply, a processor system in communicative connection with the acoustic sensor, and a communication system in communicative connection with the processor system. The sensor system is adapted to determine from output from the acoustic sensor at least start of flow and cessation of flow in the conduit system.

US Patent:

20130340500, Dec 26, 2013
Filed:

Mar 14, 2013
Appl. No.:

13/829583
Inventors:

CRAIG MILLER - PITTSBURGH PA, US
MICHAEL STURDEVANT - CONCORD TOWNSHIP OH, US
WILLIAM KAIGLER - WEXFORD PA, US
International Classification:

G01N 25/56
US Classification:

73 2902, 374100, 374121
Abstract:

A method of monitoring a space to determine at least one change in state related to at least one activity includes analyzing an amount of water vapor in the air over time and relating a change in the amount of water vapor in the air over time to the at least one change in state. In a number of embodiments, the at least one change in state is related to a kitchen activity which causes a change in the amount of water vapor in the air. Changes in dew point over time may, for example, are determined. In a number of embodiments, changes in dew point over time are determined by measuring temperature and relative humidity over time and determining dew point from measured temperature and measured relative humidity. Changes in dew point over time may, for example, used to identify or distinguish the activity from a plurality of possible activities associated with the change in state. At least one of change in dew point, change in relative humidity and change in temperature over time may be used (either alone or in any combination thereof) to identify the activity associated with the change in state.
