A stretchable device system includes a stretchable layer having a first elastic modulus, a plurality of unit devices under or on the stretchable layer, and a stretch controlling layer being geometrically stretchable, the stretch controlling layer having a second elastic modulus higher than the first elastic modulus.

The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for measuring an analyte in a host. More particularly, the present invention relates to systems and methods for transcutaneous measurement of glucose in a host.

Biometric information about a person may be collected and analyzed to gain insight into the person's physical and/or emotional conditions. The collection and analysis may be performed using a uniquely designed sensing device that includes multiple sets of sensors configured to collect EEG, EOG, EMG, EDA, and/or PPG signals from the person's head and/or facial areas. The sensing device may include a multi-layered facepad and may be coupled to a VR/AR headset and/or a scalp engagement apparatus to monitor the person's physiological and/or neural reactions to audio/visual stimuli.

Provided is a flexible transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure sensor which may be closely attached to a skin, be used repeatedly for a long time, and have a highly reliable measurement value.

The flexible transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure sensor of the present disclosure includes: an oxygen sensing film having one surface in contact with a skin; a light detecting portion including a light emitting portion which is positioned above a surface opposite to the one surface of the oxygen sensing film and includes a micro-light emitting diode (LED (μ-LED)), and a light-receiving portion which includes an organic-photodiode (OPD); and a heater portion positioned between the oxygen sensing film and the light detecting portion, and supplying thermal energy to the skin in contact with the oxygen sensing film.

An entirely disposable combined antimicrobial filter and flowmeter device for spirometry applications comprises a tubular body, with an inlet end portion, an outlet end portion, and an intermediate portion of enlarged diameter in the form of a discoidal shell. In the discoidal shell both an antimicrobial filtering membrane and a discoidal net of plastic material generating a pressure differential are arranged, it has an outer peripheral edge fixed to an inner annular lip of one of said bell-shaped portions of the discoidal shell, said annular lip being coaxial to said cylindrical wall. One of the filtering membrane and the pressure differential generating network has an outer peripheral edge fixed to the cylindrical wall of the discoidal shell, while the other of the filtering membrane and the pressure differential generating network has an outer peripheral edge fixed to an inner annular lip of one of the bell-shaped portions defining the discoidal shell.

A contactless sensor mounting system for a vehicle is provided. The system includes a contactless sensor that is mounted in an interior component of the vehicle and having a first surface and a second surface opposing each other. A bracket is disposed around the contactless sensor and is fixed to the interior component. A first buffer member is interposed between the first surface of the contactless sensor and the interior component. A second buffer member is mounted on the second surface of the contactless sensor. Additionally, a leaf spring presses the second buffer member and the contactless sensor toward the interior component.

The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for measuring an analyte in a host. More particularly, the present invention relates to systems and methods for transcutaneous measurement of glucose in a host.

A monitoring system and method tracks a patient's position over time and ensures that proper turning or other manipulation is done within the time prescribed. Preferably, the techniques herein continuously monitor patient position and alert medical or other personnel of the need for turning or other patient manipulation. The system may be implemented within a medical or other care facility, or within a patient's home.

A volatile organic compound collector can include a collector material configured to collect volatile organic compounds given off from a patient's skin; a wrapping configured to isolate the collector material from an external environment; a heater comprising a heating element, the heating element configured to emit a thermal pulse to desorb the volatile organic compounds from the collector material; and a mesh layer configured to prevent the collector material from contacting the patient's skin, wherein the collector material is received between the wrapping and the mesh layer.

An electronic device includes a housing, a first printed circuit board (PCB) provided within the housing, a second PCB provided within the housing, and a battery. The second PCB is separate and distinct from the first PCB and is communicatively coupled to the first PCB. The battery is located in a space separating the first PCB and the second PCB. The battery is configured to provide power to the first PCB and the second PCB.
