摘要： There is disclosed a system and method for treating obstructive sleep apnea by terminating an obstructive sleep apnea event before the cessation of breathing occurs. The system comprises one or more microphones capable of detecting breathing sounds within an airway of a person. The microphones generate signals representative of the breathing sounds and send the signals to a controller. The controller uses digital signal processing to identify at least one signal pattern that is associated with a breathing pattern of the person that occurs at the onset of an obstructive sleep apnea event. When the controller detects such a signal pattern, the controller sends an alarm signal to a stimulus generator that creates a stimulus to cause the sleeping person to move in a manner to terminate the obstructive sleep apnea event before cessation of breathing occurs. The obstructive sleep apnea event is terminated without waking the sleeping person.

摘要： A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) device provides significantly improved patient results by supplying high frequency electrical pulses at frequencies in a range of 2.5 to 60 kilohertz. The frequency and intensity of the pulses can be adjusted, to treat the patient at the optimal frequency and amplitude in order to treat chronic or acute pain or to block the pain caused by a traumatic or medical procedure. Starting at a mid-level of intensity where no stimulation occurs, the frequency is adjusted downwardly until there is some nerse sensation. At this point, the procedure may be performed while the frequency is adjusted downwardly as needed to maintain nerve sansation. The wave form characteristic of the pulses is an AC wave form with a square wave portion with rapid rise time and slower fall time followed by a pulse portion of the opposite polarity compared to the square wave portion.

摘要： An electronic thermometer providing an improved means for controlling temperature readout. The thermometer incorporates analog-to-digital conversion utilizing a pulse width modulation technique. The temperature of a patient is taken for a given time interval and the last reading thereof is held for another given time interval. An adjustable oscillator provides clock pulses to a frequency divider one output of which triggers a saw tooth generator and other outputs of which are coupled to a decoder driving the display. The saw tooth generator provides an input to a reference comparator and a temperature measurement comparator the former of which receives a reference voltage and the latter of which receives a temperature sensitive voltage derived from circuitry which includes a thermistor. The outputs from the comparators are coupled through a hold-release circuit utilized to prevent erroneous readings due to premature release of an off-on switch, with the output from the hold-release circuit being coupled to the counter-display decoder to control the number of pulses therefrom fed through drivers to the digital readout display. The patient's temperature is continually displayed for a given time interval.

摘要： A transcutaneous nerve stimulator as disclosed that is useful for suppression of organic pain. The stimulator device is relatively small in overall dimensions and is therefore portable yet provides a rectangular waveform with the output signal produced being sufficient to drive a capacitive resistance load of at least 2.2K ohms in parallel with 0.1Mfd with a maximum rise and fall time of 12 microseconds. The device is powered by a pair of NI-CD batteries providing a 2.5 volt input and produces a maximum 80 volt peak pulse output having a maximum duration of .10 milliseconds at a pulse rate between 20pps and 180pps. Potentiometers are provided to vary the pulse rate, the duty cycle, and output pulse amplitude as is necessary or desirable for a particular patient. The device includes an oscillator that controls the pulse rate of the output from a variable one-shot multivibrator with the output pulses from the multivibrator being coupled through a power amplifier to the primary winding of a step-up transformer, the secondary winding of which transformer is connected through a voltage clamp and variable I.E. mode circuit to the output leads from the device. The disclosed method includes generating a rectangular waveform and producing an output that is sufficient to drive a capacitive resistance load of at least 2.2K ohms in parallel with 0.1Mfd with a maximum rise and fall time of 12 microseconds.

摘要： Physiological condition monitors utilizing very low frequency acoustic signals and signals indicative of body orientation are disclosed. The physiological condition monitors comprise a sensor that is capable of detecting low frequency acoustic signals in the frequency range of one tenth Hertz to thirty Hertz. The sensor comprises a chamber having portions that form a cavity and a low frequency microphone placed within the cavity. An alternate embodiment of the invention comprises a chamber having portions that form a resonant cavity, a microphone mounted in the resonant cavity, and a membrane that covers the resonant cavity. Low frequency acoustic signals that are incident on the membrane cause the membrane to move and amplify the acoustic signals within the resonant cavity. The sensor provides information concerning physiological conditions, such as respiration and cardiac activity. The sensor in a physiological condition monitor does not need to be directly coupled to the skin of the person being monitored. The physiological condition monitor simultaneously provides information concerning cardiac activity, and respiration activity, and the movement and position orientation of the monitored person's body.
