20080300503 | Method and system of monitoring respiratory signal by radio - A method and system is provided for monitoring a respiratory signal by radio. The method includes the steps of: converting a change in electric resistance, which is caused by a change in abdominal circumference measured through a rubber waistband that is made of conductive rubber and is mounted on a lower garment of a testee during respiration, into a voltage signal, performing A/D conversion on the voltage signal, and transmitting the converted digital signal to a short distance by radio using a wireless communication protocol for ZigBee; and receiving the respiratory signal transmitted by radio, transmitting it to a computer unit by wire through an RS-232 port that is a serial communication port, and enabling a tester to monitor the respiratory signal through a screen. | 12-04-2008 |
20090101148 | CONTINUOUS POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE DEVICE BY CONTROLLING THE PRESSURE IN THE FACE MASK - A CPAP device includes an air stream generator for generating positive pressure, a face mask connected to the air stream generator through a flow supply catheter, a pressure sensor measuring pressure in the face mask, a control circuit controlling the air stream generator, and a pressure detection pipe having a first side and a second side. The pressure sensor is connected to the second side of the pressure detection pipe to measure pressure of the detection hole formed at the first side of the pressure detection pipe and outputs the measured pressure value to the control circuit. The control circuit distinguishes average positive pressure from pressure caused by spontaneous breathing of patient according to values of the pressure in the face mask, which are input from the pressure sensor, and controls a speed of the air stream generator such that preset positive pressure is supplied to the patient. | 04-23-2009 |
20100106216 | PROBE FOR ELECTRIC STIMULATOR HAVING VARIABLE VAGINAL ELECTRODE - A probe for an electric stimulator having a variable vaginal electrode constantly maintains the contact resistance by adjusting the diameter of the electrode corresponding to the user. Electrodes are provided on front and rear parts of a body of the probe, respectively. The electrodes are provided in a circular arrangement such that the electrodes move up and down. A rotating handle is formed at a side of the body such that the handle rotates at the side of the body. A shaft coupled to the handle rotates when the handle rotates, so a cam plate coupled to the shaft rotates, and the rotated cam plate pushes the electrodes, thereby expanding or reducing a diameter of the electrodes. | 04-29-2010 |
20100142773 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ACCURATELY MEASURING VERY SMALL VOLUME OF BLOOD - A method and system for accurately measuring a very small volume of blood is used for accurate evaluation of an amount (volume) of blood collected by a lancing device, evaluation of a scientific very small amount of blood, and so on. The method includes the steps of collecting the very small volume of blood, absorbing the very small volume of collected blood into an absorption medium, drying the absorption medium, scanning the dried absorption medium using an image scanner connected to a computer to obtain a digital image, and calculating the very small volume of blood from the digital image using an analysis program. | 06-10-2010 |

20110265576 | UROFLOWMETER ATTACHABLE TO TOILET - Disclosed is a uroflowmeter attachable to a toilet capable of diagnosing a BPH with high reliability and convenience in a sanitary way without the constraints of a space by checking the urinary flow rate of a patient. The uroflowmeter includes a toilet bowl for temporarily storing feces and urine, a connection tube which has one end introduced into water of the toilet bowl, a pressure measuring unit connected with an opposite end of the connection tube to measure pressure inside the toilet bowl, a signal analyzing unit for analyzing pressure signals from the pressure measuring unit to measure a urinary volume signal and a urinary flow rate signal, a display unit for displaying the urinary flow rate signal measured by the signal analyzing unit, and a wireless transceiver unit for making data communication with the signal analyzing unit in a wireless way. | 11-03-2011 |
20110270541 | AIR FLOW RATE SENSOR - Disclosed is an air flow rate sensor capable of sensing an air flow rate and respirator air flow rate. The air flow rate sensor includes a chamber having left and right portions having same internal diameters and a central portion having an internal diameter greater than the internal diameters of the left and right portions, first and second pressure taps provided at the left and right portions of the chamber, respectively, and a pressure sensor connected to the first and second pressure taps to measure a differential pressure between the left and right portions of the chamber. There are obstacles on the path of air flow, so that exact and uniform measurement characteristics are maintained. Since energy loss is measured by using vortex, the structure of the air flow rate sensor is simplified. The air flow rate sensor is used as a respirator air flow rate sensor. | 11-03-2011 |
