Advantageously, the methods described herein can be performed from a single drop of blood (about 20 μL) while generally leaving enough sample to perform other measurements, optionally in a multiplexed format. The methods and devices do not require a skilled operator and can be performed at the point of service, which can be an important feature for managing blood coagulation disorders and treatments thereof. | 03-27-2014 |
20140170688 | RAPID, LOW-SAMPLE-VOLUME CHOLESTEROL AND TRIGLYCERIDE ASSAYS - Reagents, assays, methods, kits, devices, and systems for rapid measurement of cholesterol and cholesterol sub-fractions from a blood sample are provided. Total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol can be measured in a single assay using kinetic measurements, under conditions in which cholesterol sub-species are converted to a detectable product at distinct rates. The detectable product is measured at different times after assay initiation. A lipase, cholesterol esterase, cholesterol oxidase and a peroxidase may be used together to produce colored product in amounts directly proportional to the quantity of cholesterol converted. Methods for calculating very-low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels by further including triglyceride measurements are disclosed. Assays may be performed in a single reaction mixture, allowing more accurate and precise cholesterol determinations, including ratios of cholesterol sub-fractions to total cholesterol, at less expense, than would be expected by performing several different assays in different reaction mixtures. | 06-19-2014 |

20140324527 | PROXIMITY DETECTION USING SENSORS BASED ON A PROGRAMMABLE MULTI-ARRAY STRUCTURES - Embodiments of the present disclosure is directed to the use of spatially diverse multiple antenna structures and associated radio transmitters and receivers in a sensor for accurate proximity detection. In a retail environment, a system based on a network of such (smart) sensors can accurately detect presence and location of a shopper's wireless mobile device as the shopper moves along the shopping aisles carrying the wireless mobile device (e.g. smartphone). Based on the location of the shopper and the duration of the shopper stopping in front of a product shelf in an aisle, embodiments can engage the shopper (through the wireless mobile device) in transaction-oriented interactions using the ‘sense, analyze, and connect’ capability of the various embodiments described herein. Such interactions result in increased revenue for the retailers as well as better understanding of the shopping behavior of the retail shoppers. Such understanding can be embodied in improved analytics. | 10-30-2014 |
20140324614 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR PROVIDING A RETAIL STORE PLATFORM FOR INTERACTING WITH SHOPPERS IN REAL-TIME - Systems, methods, and devices for providing a store platform for interacting with shoppers in real time are disclosed. The platform is based on a combination of wireless-enabled sensors located strategically in retail stores and computer servers. The computer may be local, remote, or in a cloud. The sensors are used to ‘scan’ the presence of shoppers in front of products in retail aisles and the computer servers ‘analyze’ the shoppers' profile based on pre-stored and newly-sensed information. The analyzed profiles are used to ‘connect’ with shoppers in real time and push electronic incentives and product information to shoppers' mobile devices. The ‘sensed’ information, in conjunction with the pre-stored data, is also used to update the shoppers' profile and generate analytics related to shopper behavior, brand loyalty, etc. | 10-30-2014 |

20150161696 | TRANSPORTATION SERVICE MATCHING WITH ARRIVAL ESTIMATION ADJUSTED FOR EXTERNAL FACTORS - Matches for load or transportation services with transportation service providers (TSPs) are established, and estimated arrival times are provided. A transportation service request is provided and a received bid is received. An estimate of time of arrival is made based on an estimation of a time for performing a delivery of the load or provide the transportation service, and the time of arrival estimate is adjusted by at least one external factor expected to affect transit time. An anticipated turn-around time for availability of the TSP is made for a subsequent leg or backhaul and the adjusted time of arrival estimate and the anticipated turn-around time are used to estimate a time of availability of the TSP for the subsequent leg or backhaul. An accepted bid for the subsequent leg or backhaul is made based on an estimated time of availability. | 06-11-2015 |
20150161697 | TRANSPORTATION SERVICE MATCHING WITH LOCATION TRACKING AND ARRIVAL ESTIMATION - Matches for transportation services with transportation service providers (TSPs) and providing tracking are combined with an option for location tracking of the load or transportation service. Bids are accepted for transportation services and, on acceptance, a request is made for the TSP or driver “opt-in” to location tracking through a mobile device. The system automatically communicates with the driver to confirm acceptance of mobile telephone tracking (opt-in) and location tracking is initiated. The location is reported according to a threshold, along with updated estimates of pick-up and of completion of delivery. The tracking provides substantially a “24/7” access to the location and updated estimated completion of delivery. Upon completion of delivery, the tracking is terminated (automatic opt-out). | 06-11-2015 |
20150161698 | PREDICTING MULTI-CITY OR DIRECT BACKHAUL - Transportation services are matched with transportation service providers (TSPs) in response to received transportation requests. A description of a load or other transportation service is obtained, a shipping lane is determined and the transportation request is parsed. Respondents, including those accepting queries in a predetermined automated format, are queried. The bids are received and prices, corresponding to the bids, are provided to an entity submitting the transportation request, and the bid is confirmed. If the TSP will accept a further transportation request, an estimated time of availability is determined and the further transportation request is searched. | 06-11-2015 |
