摘要： A method and apparatus for diagnosing joints based on sensed joint vibrations. Accelerometers disposed on the skin adjacent to the joint detect vibrational patterns during movement of the joint. These patterns are then processed by one processor to generate a predetermined set of data parameters descriptive of the vibration pattern. Also, the position and velocity of the joint during the vibration is recorded. This information from numerous patients with known joint conditions is used to train a adaptive interpreter, such as a neural network, to produce an output in response to these inputs which is indicative of the known joint condition. Once trained, the adaptive interpreter can then interpret this set of parameters for an unknown joint to generate a fast and reliable diagnosis. The result is a non-subjective joint disorder classification system that can be utilized by persons without particular expertise in analyzing joint vibrational patterns.

摘要： An electrical muscle stimulator (1) simultaneously supplies a pulse (i.e., 270, 271) to each electrode (5, 6) having first and second phases (272, 273; 274, 275) which are a mirror image to the pulse supplied to the other electrode. A control is connected to unbalance either or both the width and amplitude of the first and second phases of each pulse to selectively provide an unbalanced stimulation to one or more muscles through the electrodes (5, 6). The stimulator provides a precise control which is readily adjustable for a large number of operating sequences.

摘要： A system for measuring and displaying the coordination, duration of and interval between contractions of the masticatory muscles. Several electrodes, each associated with a masticatory muscle, generate signals responsive to muscle contraction. The electrode outputs are amplified, rectified and filtered, and then applied to several circuits, depending upon the operating mode selected. In a first mode, the filtered outputs are integrated during each muscle contraction and displayed by an electronic bar graph. The output is also applied to a threshold circuit which identifies the start and finish of the muscle contraction. The output of the threshold circuit is then processed by a timing circuit which determines and displays in digital form the duration of the muscle contraction and the interval between contractions. The system operates in a second mode in the same manner as in the first mode, except that an analog signal is derived from the digitized interval signal and applied to the bar graph in place of the integrated output. In a third mode, the filtered output is applied to a logarithmic amplifier which drives the bar graph so that the logarithm of the electrode voltage amplitude is displayed. The output of the threshold circuit is also processed by a second timing circuit which determines and displays in digital form the time lapse between the contraction of the first muscle to contract and the contraction of the remaining muscles, thereby providing an indication of muscle coordination.

摘要翻译： 用于测量和显示咀嚼肌收缩之间的协调，持续时间和间隔的系统。 每个与咀嚼肌相关联的几个电极产生响应于肌肉收缩的信号。 电极输出被放大，整流和滤波，然后根据所选的工作模式应用到几个电路。 在第一模式中，滤过的输出在每个肌肉收缩期间被积分，并由电子条形图显示。 输出也适用于识别肌肉收缩的开始和结束的阈值电路。 然后阈值电路的输出由定时电路处理，该定时电路以数字形式确定并显示肌肉收缩的持续时间和收缩之间的间隔。 除了从数字化间隔信号导出模拟信号并将其应用于条形图以代替积分输出之外，系统以与第一模式相同的方式在第二模式下操作。 在第三模式中，滤波输出被施加到驱动条形图的对数放大器，使得显示电极电压幅度的对数。 阈值电路的输出也由第二定时电路处理，第二定时电路以数字形式确定并显示第一肌肉收缩与收缩剩余肌肉之间的时间间隔，从而提供肌肉协调的指示。

摘要： A stimulator for causing involuntary mandibular closure. In a "test" mode a constant voltage is applied to left and right electrode circuits, and the currents through the electrode circuits are measured to determine electrode circuit conductivity. A first comparator circuit flashes respective "open" circuit warning lamps if the current through either of the electrodes is less than a preset value, and it flashes a "good" connection indicator lamp if the current through both electrodes is greater than the preset value. A second comparator circuit determines if the current through one electrode exceeds the current through the other electrode by a preset value, and flashes respective "low" current warning lamps in response thereto. In the "pulse" mode an oscillator repetatively charges a capacitor to a high voltage through a pulse transformer, and the high voltage is then gated to a control circuit which generates a current pulse having an adjustable amplitude through the electrode circuits to produce involuntary mandibular closure. The amplitude of the current through one electrode circuit with respect to the current through the other electrode circuit may be adjusted with a balance control. In the "pulse" mode, the battery voltage is also measured, and respective lamps flash in synchronism with the current pulses to indicate whether the battery is producing the proper voltage or whether the battery must be replaced.

摘要翻译： 刺激器引起不自主的下颌关闭。 在“测试”模式中，向左和右电极电路施加恒定电压，并且测量通过电极电路的电流以确定电极电路电导率。 如果通过任一电极的电流小于预设值，则第一个比较器电路会闪烁相应的“开路”电路警告灯，如果通过两个电极的电流大于预设值，它将闪烁“良好”的连接指示灯。 第二比较器电路确定通过一个电极的电流是否超过通过另一个电极的电流预设值，并且响应于此而闪烁相应的“低”电流警告灯。 在“脉冲”模式中，振荡器通过脉冲变压器将电容器重复地充电到高电压，然后将高电压门控到控制电路，该控制电路通过电极电路产生具有可调振幅的电流脉冲，以产生无意识的下颌闭合 。 可以通过平衡控制来调节通过一个电极电路相对于通过另一个电极电路的电流的电流的幅度。 在“脉冲”模式下，也测量电池电压，并且各个灯与电流脉冲同步闪烁，以指示电池是否产生适当的电压或电池是否必须更换。
