A system of mated connectors includes a connector having one or more connector quadrants comprising electrical contacts and a mating connector detachably secured to the connector. The mating connector includes one or more mating quadrants and electrical contacts. The mating connector configured to provide electrical coupling to the connector detachably secured thereto. The electrical contacts of a first quadrant of connector quadrants have a first predetermined pin-out and the electrical contacts of a second quadrant of the connector quadrants have a second predetermined pin-out. The electrical contacts of each quadrant of a first pair of the mating quadrants have the first predetermined pin-out and the electrical contacts of each quadrant of a second pair of the mating quadrants have the second predetermined pin-out.

An intelligent defecation device for living creature includes a device body, a supporting portion, an image module, and a first analysis module. The supporting portion is formed within the inner side of the device body for accommodating a moisture absorption member so as to allow the living creature to leave over its excrement therein. The image module is also arranged at the device body for dynamically capturing the images of the excrement in the supporting portion and outputting the image. The first analysis module is arranged in the device body and connected with the image module to analyze and calculate the defecation mode with the image based on preset or accumulated data, so as to generate a signal when an abnormal defecation mode is diagnosed.

A comfort band is configured to be worn between an electronic surveillance bracelet and a leg of a wearer. The comfort band includes a tubular elastic element adapted to retain the comfort band on the leg of the wearer. The comfort band further includes a cushion provided along a lower edge of the elastic element so that the cushion is located towards the foot of the wearer. The cushion extends outwardly from the elastic element and is arranged so as to form an abutment for an end face of the electronic surveillance bracelet.

Exemplary pre-operative electrode-dispensing neuromonitoring gun systems and methods involve the administration of a neuromonitoring electrode to a patient. A system can include a dispensing device and a cartridge. The dispensing device can have a case, a trigger, and a pusher. The cartridge can have a plurality of electrodes. In some cases, an electrode can include two subdermal leads, a posterior connection port or plug, and a casing to house the connection port before placement and to cover the leads upon removal.

The present invention features an optical detection system for SARS-CoV-2 or other pathogens, which includes a specialty mask. The specialty mask incorporates a SERS nanopatch for accumulating pathogenic particles from a wearers breath. When the SERS nanopatch receives incident NIR light, backscattered light from the SERS nanopatch is detected by a receiver and analyzed for a Raman spectral shift. Detection of the Raman spectral signature from the SERS nanopatch allows for determination if SARS-CoV-2 or another pathogen is present. In addition to the mask with a nanostructured surface for collecting pathogenic material, the system includes a laser source directed at the nanostructured surface, a detection system to collect backscattered light, a spectral analysis system to detect Raman shifted light, and an analysis system for determining if SARS-CoV-2 or another pathogen is present. AI image processing may be used to steer the laser beam safely to the nanopatch, avoiding eye contact.

The present invention is a holding case for an instrumented intra-oral appliance containing recorded data, which charges the intra-oral appliance while not in use and transmits recorded data to storage for review and analysis. The transferred data may be subjected to downloading, validation, storage, analysis, measuring, database fusion (with for example data from other devices), data output, and data recording. Output may be further transferred to a computer, processor, phone, tablet computer, or other hardware for review by a user or technical, research, medical, or other oversight personnel. The holding case can also send data to the appliance including firmware or other onboard operating instructions. The holding case can include additional features such as custom dentition of the user, UV light, or a visual user interface.

Medical device or instrument for diagnosing pressure ulcers using optical reflectance spectroscopy. The device may comprise a tip and a controller. The tip is pressed against the skin of the patient and collects the optical reflectance data. The controller processes the data to determine whether there exists a pressure ulcer and, if there is one, its depth. The tip may also include a pressure sensor for sensing the pressure at which the tip is applied to the patient's skin.

An automated allergy office system and method provides a medical professional with a new allergy treatment plan to administer to a patient. The automated allergy office system comprises a viewing device to select a test site on the patient's skin that is clear. A multiple test applicator is in cooperative engagement with a fluid tray and delivers a small amount of a first allergen to a first test site on the patient's skin as a small amount of a second allergen is delivered to a second test site on the patient's skin. The allergy condition of the patient is detected as a wheal forms at the first test site after fifteen minutes. The elements of the treatment plan are retrieved from a database for treating the patient's allergy condition. The patient's electronic medical record is checked to confirm that the allergy treatment is new for this patient.
