20120055487 | System and Method for Treatment of Upper Airway Disorders - The present invention provides a system for treating a mammalian patient having obstructive sleep disordered breathing, e.g., sleep apnea. The system has a set of appliances including a first appliance being adapted to displace a mandible of the patient by a first predetermined geometry relative to a maxilla of the patient. The set also includes at least a second appliance adapted to displace the mandible of the patient by a second predetermined geometry relative to the maxilla of the patient. In a specific embodiment, the first predetermined geometry is substantially different from the second predetermined geometry. Preferably, either one of the first appliance or at least the second appliance is worn by the patient based upon a predetermined treatment plan that includes one or more provisions for wearing at least the first and the second appliances. | 03-08-2012 |
20130102928 | System and Method for Managing Sleep Disorders - The present invention provides a method for managing a patient having a sleep disorder, e.g. sleep apnea, snoring, sleep bruxism, upper airway resistance syndrome, etc. The method comprises monitoring physiological information from the patient, converting the physiological information to digital data, storing the digital data in a digital memory, identifying and characterizing epochs based on the digital data, and storing the identifying and characterizing information of the epochs in a digital memory. The method further comprises organizing the epochs according to an organization function that considers at least characterization information of the epochs, selecting an epoch based on the organizing of the epochs, and generating sound derived from the stored digital data associated with the selected epoch such that the patient hears the sound. In a specific embodiment, the physiological information monitored may include sound, e.g. respiratory sound emanating from the trachea, and/or tooth-grinding sounds. | 04-25-2013 |
20130218039 | System and Method for Assessing Breathing - A system for recording one or more parameters of a patient, comprising a peri-tracheal microphone, a memory, a controller, a power source, and a housing, is disclosed. The microphone provides a signal indicative of at least quiet breathing of the patient. The memory stores information derived from the signal indicative of at least quiet breathing of the patient. The controller writes the information into the memory. The power source supplies electrical energy to at least one of the microphone, the memory, or the controller. The housing contains one or more of the controller or the memory or the power source, and is coupled to a non-peri-tracheal portion of the patient's body such that the housing moves substantially in concert with said non-peri-tracheal portion of the body. Information stored in the memory may be assessed to characterize the state of the patient, possibly including aspects of breathing while awake or asleep. | 08-22-2013 |

20100273157 | System and Method for Authentication or Identification of Bio-Artifacts Related to President Abraham Lincoln - An invention for authenticating artifacts related to President Abraham Lincoln is presented. In an embodiment of the invention, an artifact is identified. The artifact has a biologically-derived component (“bio-component”). At least a portion of the bio-component is processed to yield matter that may be analyzed. This matter is analyzed and the analysis results interpreted. The interpretation is based on information related to a syndrome of marfanoid habitus and stable multiple lip dysmorphisms (an “MH/LD syndrome”). Two such syndromes are multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B and pure mucosal neuroma syndrome. Other such syndromes may exist. Evidence of an MH/LD syndrome in the analysis results is evidence that the artifact is authentically associated with President Lincoln. A report is optionally produced. | 10-28-2010 |
