Systems and methods for non-invasively measuring intracranial in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes a method for estimating an intracranial pressure of a patient, including introducing a tracer into the blood of a patient, recording, using an imaging device, the traversal of the tracer through a brain of the patient as a kinetic curve, estimating a mean transit time (MTT) of the tracer through the brain of the patient based on the kinetic curve, measuring a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of the patient, calculating an intracranial pressure index as MAP−Ck/MTT, where C is a constant to scale proportional relationships based on healthy patient population characteristics, and k is a constant in pressure/time, and providing the intracranial pressure index. In various embodiments, regions of the brain unaffected by transient vascular abnormalities are identified and are used for data collection.

Systems and methods for non-invasive measurement of intracranial pressure

Systems and methods for stroke detection in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes a system for detecting strokes, including a processor, a first ultrasound transmitter located on a patient's head in communication with the processor, a first ultrasound receiver located on the patient's head in communication with the processor, a memory in communication with the processor, including a stroke diagnostics application, where the stroke diagnostics application directs the processor to transmit a first ultrasound signal from the first ultrasound transmitter across a patient's brain, the brain comprising a first and second hemisphere, receive the first ultrasound signal using the first ultrasound receiver, where the ultrasound signal is affected during transit by harmonics generated by microbubbles in the blood of the patient stimulated by the first ultrasound signal, and detect that a stroke has occurred based on the harmonic effects on the first received ultrasound signal.

A method for creating dynamic safe zones comprises determining, by a tracking device, the tracking device is outside a domicile, monitoring, by the tracking device, a location of the tracking device, in response to the location satisfying a condition, creating a safe zone for the tracking device, and while the tracking device is within the safe zone, reducing power consumption of the tracking device, wherein the method is performed using one or more computing devices.

Safe zone creation to reduce power consumption in an electronic digital tracking device

A method for a tracking device optimizing power to remain reachable for a desired period based on evaluated wide-area-network conditions. The tracking device may communicate via a power-intensive long-range transceiver and may continually measure service conditions related to network communications. The tracking device may periodically calculate statistical information describing the service conditions, such as a percentage of time in which the tracking device was out-of-network-service. Based on the statistics, the tracking device may operate in an optimization mode to conserve power when out-of-network-service. In an embodiment, the tracking device may calculate the statistics based on evaluation periods defined by predefined numbers of out-of-network-service occurrences, predefined time periods, and/or a hybrid of both. In an embodiment, the tracking device may conserve power in a power save state that alternates with another operating state in which the tracking device periodically evaluates criteria before either continuing to conserve power or utilize network resources.

Apparatus and methods for managing content, such as content captured by a mobile device, are provided. The apparatus and method include receiving a plurality of content, which includes tag information, e.g., date and location information and an identifier for the mobile device. In addition, the apparatus and methods may include automatically grouping the content based on the tag information, and automatically labeling the content based on the tag information. For example, determined groupings of the content may be placed into folders and labeled based upon the tag information.

Apparatus and methods for managing content

A system for providing operational access to equipment or vehicles is disclosed wherein digital access codes are assigned and transported over-the-air governing a vehicle's or equipment's use. The access codes can be generated in connection with comparison of entered and stored biometric data and/or entered code from a keypad. Various security protocols can be used to ensure the secure dispatch and delivery of code information.

Digital over-the-air keying system

A billing system and method for providing both business and personal data access to a user of a wireless communications device is provided. A user enters an access request, and it is determined if the access request is a personal type access request or a business type access request. Personal type access requests are processed in order to provide billing for the personal requests to the user of the wireless communications device, and business type access requests are processed to provide billing to the business. Such systems and methods provide enhanced convenience to mobile workers while avoiding additional costs associated with such services being incurred by the business.

Separable billing for personal data services

Methods and apparatus for providing separable billing services. In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a memory for storing a data address associated with a first type of communication and a processor for receiving a data packet, the data packet comprising a destination data address. The processor compares the destination data address to the data address associated with the first type of communication, and routes the data packet to the destination data address if the destination data address matches the data address associated with the first type of communication and bills an account associated with the first type of communication.

Method and apparatus for providing separable billing services

An apparatus and method for a tracking device to inconspicuously track a person to be monitored (such as a child or at-risk adult) are presented. Some embodiments of the present invention combine a positioning receiver (e.g., a GPS receiver) and a locking mechanism to act as a tracking device, which attaches to an article of clothing or fabric wearable by the person to be monitored. Some embodiments of the present invention keep a positioning receiver and a radio frequency identification tag (RFID tag) or other RF tag, which are physically separate but in RF proximity of each other.
