The CoG device employs a unique mathematical approach to predict glucose concentrations based on multiple optical signals. The first clinical results indicate that the device may show appropriate agreement with reference methods to be used for pain-free glucose assessment in daily routine.

Objective: Hypertension is a major risk indicator for coronary heart diseases, renal failure, stroke and other various illnesses, and it is the primary global risk for mortality. Blood pressure measurements are essential for managing the risks resulting from hypertension. In this paper we will present a new device, the TensorTip MTX, which computes hemodynamic blood pressure noninvasively.Methods: This paper presents a technique that uses the color imaging resulting from a set of monochrome light source that traverse the tissue under consideration and is projected onto the color image sensor. A new extended solution of the Windkessel model is being displayed and provides additional insight on various functional resistances rather than a constant resistance. Results:The TensorTip MTX was clinically evaluated in few medical centers and was found to perform well at standard blood pressure measurements and also monitoring patients who suffered from alterations in blood pressure due to cardiac surgery. The device passed successfully our clinical trials and fulfilled the ISO 81060-2 recognized accuracy requirements for various notified bodies. Conclusions:In this work it was found that the variation in the pressure flow can be determined from the changes in the height of the temporal color histograms and additional temporal volume information.Significance: Today, the most common technique is the oscillometric technique based on the sphygmomanometer arm cuff pressure. This paper presents a new device, the TensorTip MTX, which computes hemodynamic blood pressure noninvasively, cuff-less and free of air pumping.

Space and time traveling is one of the humanity's most fascinating and challenging topics. The speed limitation makes space traveling highly difficult. Therefore, discovering the warp drive mechanism intrigued humanity to travel in space and time. Miguel Alcubierre proposed a model for warp drive. However, the energy density driven from the Alcubierre warp drive model turns to be negative everywhere. Erik Lentz proposed a shifting vector field in which we shall show that shifting vector field with appropriate spaceship geometry may provide positive energy density for warp drive. Further, we suggest looking at the spaceship geometry as a mother wavelet function with shifting, scaling, and rotation operations that may provide additional positive energy density. This sort of design requires a flexible fuselage that can be stretched and rotated.
