An intraoperative neural monitoring system includes a power source and a simulator powered by the power source to deliver a cycle of electrical stimulation to a patient as a first group of positive or negative phase pulses automatically followed by a second group of pulses of opposite phase or polarity to the pulses of the first group. An activation performed to initiate delivery of the first group of pulses is effective to deliver the entire cycle of stimulation. A method of intraoperative neural monitoring involves activating a simulator to deliver a biphasic cycle of electrical stimulation to a patient during an operative procedure, delivering the entire cycle of electrical stimulation to the patient in response to the activating step and detecting EMG activity in the patient.

A device is disclosed which is therapeutically beneficial to the well-being of living organisms such as humans, animals, and/or plant life, using photon or light waves.

The device is intended to be used for: general relaxation and detoxification of an organism; stimulating the healing process in an organism which is ill, diseased or injured; aiding in the elimination of pain and inflammation in an organism; stimulating/sedating the acupressure meridian system of an organism and rebalancing the electromagnetic energy-field surrounding the organism.

A touch screen, now incorporated in most smart phones, presents an effective and transparent method to incorporate continuous active user verification schemes. The projected capacitive grid structure can be used to capture information, such as from the user's fingerprint. This information may be used to verify the user, or that a valid user currently has possession of the mobile device, even while the user is not consciously engaged in an active verification interface. Further processing, such as habitual gesture recognition, can augment the process.

A first optical module scans a portion of an eye with a line of light, descans reflected light from the scanned portion of the eye and confocally provides output light in a line focus configuration. A detection device detects the output light and images the portion of the eye. A second optical module detects an optical distortion and corrects the optical distortion in the line of light scanned on the portion of the eye.

A plurality of flexible conduits for the transmittal of light are provided, each conduit having a first end and a second end. The first end of the conduit is optically connected to the enclosure. A plurality of needles are provided, each needle being suitable for acupuncture and having a first end and a second end having a needle point. The first end of each of the needles is mounted on each of the second ends of the conduits. Each needle is capable of transmitting light therethrough. In use, each needle is implanted into a treatment point of the patient and the light source is activated. Light passes from the light source through the plurality of conduits and needles to the treatment point to simultaneously treat the plurality of treatment points by acupuncture and light.

A touchscreen, now incorporated in most smartphones, tablets, laptops, and similar devices, presents an effective and transparent method to incorporate continuous active user verification schemes. The touchscreen element grid structure can be used to capture information, such as a set of one-dimensional time-varying signals produced as the user's finger moves past the grid intersections points. This information may be used to verify the user, or that a valid user currently has possession of the mobile device, even while the user is not consciously engaged in an active verification process. Further functions, such as habitual gesture recognition, can also be performed using the same grid outputs.

A touch screen, now incorporated in most smart phones, presents an effective and transparent method to incorporate continuous active user verification schemes. The projected capacitive grid structure can be used to capture enough information to verify that a valid user currently has possession of the mobile device, even while the user is not consciously engaged in an active verification interface. Further processing, such as habitual gesture recognition, can augment the process.

The invention discloses a multi-hierarchy relationship information management system based on cloud computing. The multi-hierarchy relationship information management system based on the cloud computing comprises a cloud service platform and a client. The cloud service platform comprises a physical resource layer used for storing information data of all organization hierarchy units, a processing platform layer used for processing the information data on the physical resource layer, a displaying application layer used for displaying the information data and a management layer used for managing and maintaining the physical resource layer, the processing platform layer and the displaying application layer. According to the multi-hierarchy relationship information management system based on the cloud computing, a mode of one longitudinal layer and three transverse layers is provided and used for supporting the whole multi-hierarchy organization structure, and the whole system is made to meet requirements for 'one base, one platform, and one network' due to the fact that the multi-hierarchy relationship information management system based on the cloud computing is established. In addition, rich cloud computing abilities and a friendly user interface are provided, and the purpose that mass information is obtained from the interior of an organization, applied to the interior of the organization and analyzed by the interior of the organization is achieved. Therefore, safety performance and the information sharing rate of the system are improved, resources are utilized efficiently, and requirements that information is more integrated, supervision is more strict and decision-making is more convenient are met.

A scaling unit is disclosed that is within a computing device having an internal display and an external interface. The scaling unit facilitates the concurrent presentation of images on the internal display and an external display connected to the external interface. In configurations in which the external interface does not have sufficient data width to concurrently display images on the external display at the same resolution as the internal display, the scaling unit may be used to reduce the number of pixels in a line, thus reducing bandwidth requirements at the external interface. The scaling unit may also scale further to maintain an aspect ratio of the image displayed on the internal display. Further vertical scaling may be performed outside the computing device (e.g., by a dongle coupled between the computing device and the external display), such that the scaling unit may be implemented with reduced memory requirements.

Provided are systems using compression devices for a mammography unit, and methods of using the same, for example, in conjunction with imaging of a patient's breast. The instant mammography units can comprise at least one x-ray transparent inflatable chamber for containing a fluid. When fluid is introduced into the chamber, at least one surface of the chamber expands, breast motion is limited, and the breast and its vasculature are compressed. Fluid may also be released from the chamber, and as the chamber deflates, blood flow to the breast is restored, producing Korotkoff sounds that may be detected by a sound detection device. Sound data may be obtained with respect to both of a patient's breasts, and the sound data from a patient's first breast may be compared with the data obtained from the contralateral breast. The detected sounds, the comparison data, or both may be used to assist a radiologist in identifying regions of interest on a mammogram, and additionally or alternatively may be used to a enhance a computer-assisted detection (CAD) process by contributing additional data parameters.
