A system for facilitating hemostasis of a puncture site in a blood vessel injects an absorbable sponge pledget in a hydrated state to a position at an exterior of the blood vessel puncture to facilitate hemostasis. The system includes a tract dilator for locating the puncture, an introducer, and a pusher. The introducer includes a staging chamber for receiving the absorbent sponge pledget and a delivery chamber having a diameter smaller than a diameter of the staging chamber into which a hydrated pledget passes. The pledget is hydrated and compressed within the introducer and then ejected with the pusher to the delivery site to facilitate hemostasis of the blood vessel puncture. The system delivers the absorbable sponge pledget over a guidewire to ensure the proper positioning of the pledget over the puncture. The implanted absorbable sponge once delivered expands rapidly to fill the target site and is absorbed by the body over time.

The method according to claim 3, wherein the providing step includes transmitting the modulated value. 7. The method according to claim 3, wherein the accumulating step includes recording the data series. 8. The method according to claim 3, wherein said providing step outputs the predicted cognitive performance to at least one of a display, a data file, an antenna, and a printing device. 9. The method according to claim 3, wherein the selecting step selects the function from a group consisting of a wake function, a sleep function, and a sleep inertia function. 10. The method according to claim 3, wherein the selecting step selects the function from a group consisting of a wake function, a sleep function, a delay function, and a sleep inertia function. 11. The method according to claim 3, wherein the time of day value is selected from a series of time of day values representing a curve having a period of 24 hours. 12. A method in an actigraph for determining a cognitive performance level comprising: accumulating a data series representing wake states and sleep states of an individual based on analysis of movement detected by the actigraph using a sleep scoring system, selecting a function based on the data series, determining a cognitive performance capacity based on the selected function and a prior cognitive performance capacity, modulating the cognitive performance capacity with a time of day value, providing the modulated value, giving a cognitive performance test to determine the actual cognitive performance level of the individual, and adjusting the cognitive performance level based on results of the cognitive performance test. 13. The method according to claim 12, further comprising: storing the modulated value, repeating the selecting, determining, modulating, transmitting, and storing steps for each piece of the data series. 14. A method in an actigraph for determining a cognitive performance level comprising: accumulating a data series representing wake states and sleep states of an individual based on analysis of movement detected by the actigraph using a sleep scoring system, selecting a function based on the data series, determining a cognitive performance capacity based on the selected function and a prior cognitive performance capacity, modulating the cognitive performance capacity with a time of day value, providing the modulated value, and adjusting the weights used in determining the cognitive performance level. 15. The method according to claim 14, further comprising: storing the modulated value after both modulating steps, repeating the selecting, determining, modulating, receiving, second determining, transmitting, and storing steps for at least two pieces of the data series. 16. A data signal embodied in a carrier wave readable by a computing system and encoding instructions for executing a process performing a method comprising: accumulating a data series representing wake states and sleep states of an individu
