20090000192 | APPARATUS WITH HIGH SURFACE AREA NANOSTRUCTURES FOR HYDROGEN STORAGE, AND METHODS OF STORING HYDROGEN - Method and apparatus for storing hydrogen. One embodiment of such a method comprises providing a storage apparatus having a substrate and a nanostructure mat on at least a portion of a side of the substrate. The nanostructure mat comprises a plurality of nanostructures having a surface ionization state which causes more than one layer of hydrogen to adsorb onto the nanostructures. The method can also include exposing the nanostructure mat to hydrogen such that more than one layer of hydrogen adsorbs onto the nanostructures. | 01-01-2009 |

20140055269 | MONITORING VITAL SIGNS BASED ON SENSED CHANGES TO AN ELECTRICAL FIELD - Methods and systems for monitoring a well-being of a target are disclosed. In a method embodiment, data representing a process electric potential signal is received by a computer system. The process electric potential signal may be generated at least in part by one or more electric potential sensors in response to the detection of a change in an electric field of a target spaced apart from the one or more electric potential sensors. The method may further include identifying, using the computer system and based at least in part on the data electronically received by the computer system, a recurring pattern in the received data. The method may also include determining, using the computer system and based at least in part on the received data, whether a deviation from the recurring pattern transgresses a threshold. The deviation may comprise a subset of the data electronically received by the computer system. | 02-27-2014 |
20150057557 | Systems and Methods for Monitoring Vital Signs Based on Sensed Changes in a Target - Methods and systems for monitoring the well-being of a target are disclosed. In a method embodiment, data representing a signal is received by a computer system. The signal may be generated at least in part by one or more sensors in response to the detection of a change in an electrical field, electric potential, capacitance, and/or dielectric constant of a target spaced apart from the one or more sensors. The method may further include identifying, using the computer system and based at least in part on the data electronically received by the computer system, a recurring pattern in the received data. The method may also include determining, using the computer system and based at least in part on the received data, whether a deviation from the recurring pattern transgresses a threshold. The deviation may comprise a subset of the data electronically received by the computer system. | 02-26-2015 |

20080280682 | Gaming system having a set of modular game units - A game system comprises a set of independent units, preferably wirelessly connected. One of the displays preferably is a master unit that manages the game and its display on the remaining, satellite units. The master unit typically has Internet connectivity. Each unit can stand on its own, has a touch sensitive display capable of handling multiple touch points, and includes an accelerometer (or the equivalent) for detecting physical changes in its orientation. With the modular units, a game board can be created, re-arranged and manipulated to support various modes of game play that one might encounter when physically interacting with traditional board games. The game play can also be extended over the Internet (or other network connection) to local or remote players. Each modular unit has a mechanism to determine the unit's orientation to a fixed surface, and relative to one another. | 11-13-2008 |

20110097806 | METHOD OF ASSESSING CANCER STATUS IN A BREAST CANCER PATIENT - A method of assessing recurrence status in a breast cancer patient comprises a step of assaying a biological sample from the patient for a level of a biomarker selected from S100β or HOX-C1I, wherein positive detection of one or both of the biomarkers is indicative of a positive recurrence status. Suitably, the method is a method of prognosis of poor disease free survival in a breast cancer patient, wherein positive detection of one or both of the biomarkers is indicative of poor disease survival. The method may also be a method of diagnosis of recurrence, wherein positive detection of circulating S100β is a diagnostic variable of recurrence. The method of diagnosis is carried out on a patient who is undergoing first line therapy and/or a patient who has had surgery to remove a primary breast tumour. | 04-28-2011 |

20100030120 | Vibrotactile devices for controlled somato sensory stimulus during functionalmagnetic resonance imaging - A functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) compatible magnetomechanical vibrotactile device (MVD) uses wire coils having small oscillatory currents to interact with the large static magnetic field inherent to MRI scanners. The resulting Lorentz forces which are exerted on the MVD can be oriented to generate large vibrations that may be easily converted to translational motions as large as several centimetres. Representative data demonstrate the flexibility of MVDs to generate different well-controlled vibratory and tactile stimuli to activate special proprioceptive and cutaneous somatosensory afferent pathways. | 02-04-2010 |
