Wearable health monitoring device

A wearable patient device is provided that includes one or more sensors. The one or more sensors can record one or both of ECG information or phonocardiographic information. The sensor information can be used to determine the blood pressure of a monitored individual, including on a continuous basis. Blood pressure can be determined using one or both of a determined time to empty or fill one or more heart chambers or first and second blood velocities. Vital sign information can be provided to a monitoring individual, including graphical representations of trend information.

Lunar Ice Cube: ongoing development of first generation deep space cubesat mission with compact broadband IR spectrometer

Lunar Ice Cube (LIC) is one of 13 6U cubesats that will be deployed by EM1 in cislunar space. LIC along with Lunar Flashlight and LunaH-Map, all focused on the search for volatiles but with very different payloads, will be the first deep space cubesats designed to address goals for both demonstrating new technologies and collecting scientific data. Effectively, as their developments are occurring in parallel, they are acting as prototypes for future deep space cubesats missions. One useful outcome of this experiment is to evolve a working paradigm for the development and operation of compact, cost-capped, standardized (supporting subsystems) spacecraft to serve the needs of diverse user communities.
