Based on the posture data together with a value for degree of user chronic venous insufficiency and/or blood density, generate an estimate of user static venous pressure while the user is static, without calf muscle pump activity. The processor also processes the sensor data to determine if there is calf muscle pump activity, and generates an estimate of user active venous pressure according to the static venous pressure estimate, rate of calf muscle activity, and a value for degree of user chronic venous insufficiency. The processor may generate the venous pressure estimate in real time, and may control an NMES device accordingly. | 10-09-2014 |
20140343625 | MUSCLE STIMULATION DEVICE - A surface NMES stimulation device the device has a control processor, a voltage regulator connected to a high voltage supply, a bridge of control switches, and electrodes or electrode terminals connected in the bridge to receive drive signals via the control switches. The processor directs a drive scheme for the bridge control switches in which charge build-up on a user's skin is allowed to dissipate to ground in an inter-pulse interval. An isolation capacitor isolates the high voltage supply from the electrodes, and charging of the capacitor only occurs if a switch allows it. Sensors senses supply voltage and bridge current and the processor monitors there to determine further stimulation and faults. | 11-20-2014 |
20140358193 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR PREVENTION OF SYNCOPE - A monitoring system has biomechanical sensors, physiological sensors and a controller which receive sensory inputs from the sensors to provide output signals for the output device, and it detects from the sensory inputs risk of a syncopal event The bio-mechanical sensors include sensors arranged to allow the processor to detect a user postures and posture transitions. The processor operates a finite state machine, in which there is a state corresponding to each of a plurality of user physical postures and to each of a plurality of transitions between said postures, and the processor determines a relevant state depending on the sensory inputs. A device output may be muscle stimulation to prevent syncope, and there are stimulation permissions associated with the finite state machine states. | 12-04-2014 |

20100095233 | DEVICE, SYSTEM AND COMPUTER IMPLEMENTED METHOD TO DISPLAY AND PROCESS TECHNICAL DATA FOR A DEVICE IN AN INDUSTRIAL CONTROL SYSTEM - A method, device and system to retrieve and display technical data for an industrial device supervised by a computer program for control, configuration or condition monitoring in an industrial or commercial plant. In particular to use of a display member to provide a graphical user interface for manipulating data for, and/or for controlling, one or more industrial devices. A computing device or mobile computing device can send a link or reference of an application, interface or document to the display so that various applications interfaces may be displayed by the display for ease of information retrieval, manipulation and access. | 04-15-2010 |
20100207719 | COMPUTER IMPLEMENTED METHOD TO DISPLAY TECHNICAL DATA FOR MONITORING AN INDUSTRIAL INSTALLATION - A computer implemented method to display an industrial installation, which display may also display information about an event or an alarm in the installation. The method includes displaying an image which appears to the viewer to be a three dimensional holographic image including a view of the industrial installation. The image may also include one or more points in three dimensional space and which point or points are each mapped to a corresponding point or position in the industrial installation. A pointing device for actively indicating position on the image reflecting objects or positions in the installation is also described. | 08-19-2010 |
