Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems, apparatuses and methods for synchronous communication and control of LED lights and sensors in an LED light array containing two or more LED lights. Through the use of a master clock within a gateway and/or a master controller that is in communication with LED lights in an array that is in a facility, such as in a greenhouse, hot house, poultry egg production facility, a hospital, dairy production or other lighting facilities, the gateway and/or master controller is capable of synchronizing the emission of light or photons from an LED light array by generating a master signal that contains commands and time from a master clock within the signal that is transmitted to each of the LED lights within an array.

A method for analyzing neuropharmacology of a drug, including the steps of providing a set of brain activity maps representing changes of a brain activity of a living species under an influence of a plurality of known drugs each consisting of a known chemical structure; clustering the set of brain activity maps to form a plurality of functional classifiers; and classifying a brain activity map associated with a chemical compound using the functional classifiers so as to predict a neuropharmacology of the chemical compound.

A system for determining the gender and/or fertility status of avian eggs including a sampling apparatus and an electromagnetic radiation transmitter and detector. In certain embodiments, the transmitter operates in the terahertz range. The sampling apparatus can be coupled to an avian egg. The sampling apparatus includes a vacuum source, a gas collection device, and a membrane that can be positioned in the passageway coupling the vacuum source to the gas collection device. The membrane is capable of capturing volatile organic compounds. The sampling apparatus applies a vacuum from the vacuum source to the gas proximate to the avian egg and directs the gas captured from the vicinity of the egg toward the membrane. Subsequently, the membrane is positioned within the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the transmitter, generating a spectrum which can be analyzed to determine whether the egg is fertile or infertile, and if fertile, whether the egg is male or female. In an embodiment, the captured volatile organic compounds are transferred to a sample chamber where the captured gas is analyzed.

An abnormality detecting system includes a first identification unit configured to identify a state of an animal that is a monitoring target in each time range, based on time-series data from a motion sensor placed on a predetermined portion of the animal that is a monitoring target; a first calculation unit configured to calculate a transition probability from the state at a predetermined timing of each time range identified by the first identification unit to a next state; and a determining unit configured to determine that an abnormality of the animal that is a monitoring target is detected when a score calculated based on the transition probability to the next state satisfies a predetermined condition.

A system and method for performing an electrocardiogram is described herein. The system may include one or more of an electrode strip, a data recorder, a connector, one or more computing platforms, and/or other components. The electrode strip may include multiple electrodes configured to provide signals conveying information associated with electrocardiograms. The multiple electrodes may be integrated into the electrode strip. The data recorder may be configured to receive and record information associated with electrocardiograms. Information associated with electrocardiograms may be communicated from the electrode strip to the data recorder via a connector. The connector may include a cableless connector. In some implementations, the information associated with electrocardiograms may be transmitted to one or more computing platforms.

A processing device is configured to interface with a region of the brain of a subject that is responsible for forming concepts without sensory input. The processing device receives brain signals representative of at least one concept formed by the region of the brain without sensory input, and processes the received brain signals so as to convert the at least one concept to data that is representative of a tangible form of the at least one concept. In certain embodiments, the processing device processes data that is representative of at least one concept to be formed by the region so as to convert the data into one or more brain signals, and selectively providing the one or more brain signals to the region of the brain such that the at least one concept represented by the data is formed by the region of the brain without sensory input.

A method for obtaining an index for non-invasively identifying NASH is provided. A NASH determination method comprising a method for acquiring free radical consumption speed information by non-invasively detecting a redox reaction in a liver of a test animal in real time, comprises a step (1) of obtaining free radical concentration data by applying a magnetic resonance method to the liver as a measurement target after administering a probe into a body; a step (2) of obtaining imaging information by processing the obtained free radical concentration data; and a step (3) of obtaining a free radical consumption speed by kinetically measuring the imaging information over time, and comprises a step of determining whether or not the test animal has NASH, based on the free radical consumption speed information obtained through application to the test animal.

A method and system for continuously measuring animal body temperature are disclosed. The system includes: an external device for transmitting wireless power into an animal's body from outside the animal's body; and an implant device inserted into the animal's body, that periodically measures the animal's body temperature by a temperature sensor by using battery power and stores continuous body temperature information in storage, and that, when wireless power is received from the external device, sends the continuous body temperature information stored in the storage to the external device by using the received wireless power.

A system for monitoring animal vitals can include a housing, a controller and one or more sensors for sensing vital signs. The housing can be configured to couple to one or more locations on an animal. A system can be adapted for monitoring two or more vital signs simultaneously and for conveying vital sign information to a user. A system can be adapted for alerting a user to the presence or absence of one or more conditions. A system can include a plurality of sensor units and can be adapted for monitoring a plurality of patients simultaneously.

A method is provided herein that discloses receiving, by a processor, first image data comprising first bioluminescence data derived from an organism at a first time, receiving, by the processor, second image data comprising second bioluminescence data derived from an organism at a second time, comparing, by the processor, the first image data to the second image data, determining, by the processor, whether a peak light output event has occurred based on the comparison, and outputting, by the processor and to a display device, an indication that the peak light output event has occurred.
