20090272381 | APPARATUS FOR RESPIRATORY SUPPORT AND NON-INVASIVE DETECTION OF ALVEOLAR DERECRUITMENT FOR PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM RESPIRATORY FAILURE - There is described an apparatus ( | 11-05-2009 |
20090326396 | DUAL BODY PLETHYSMOGRAPHY APPARATUS AND PROCESS FOR MEASURING BLOOD FLOW BETWEEN THE THORAX AND ABDOMEN (THE TRUNK) AND THE BODY PERIPHERY - An apparatus is described ( | 12-31-2009 |
20100147305 | System and Method for the Automatic Detection of the Expiratory Flow Limitation - The present invention refers to a system and a method for the automatic detection of the expiratory flow limitation of a subject. In an embodiment thereof the system for the automatic detection of expiratory flow limitation of a subject comprises determining the respiratory impedance of the subject comprising an imaginary component and, eventually, of a real part or, at least, by applying a forcing signal with one or more spectral components to the airway opening of a subject combined with measuring time courses of pressure and flow at the airway opening; determining at least one index linked to respiratory impedance or pressure and flow time courses; indicating the positioning of at least one index in relation to a preset threshold value. | 06-17-2010 |
20120016280 | ABDOMINAL CIRCULATORY PUMP DEVICE - The abdominal circulatory pump uses expulsive manoeuvres performed by contraction of the diaphragm while stabilizing, contracting or compressing the abdominal wall to increase abdominal pressure and pump blood. At the same time, it can be used to lower pleural pressure around the surface of the lung to provide ventilation. In humans the blood in the splanchnic circulation; i.e., the blood in the abdominal contents, is a reservoir of about 20% to 25% of the whole body blood volume. The increase in abdominal pressure forces this blood to flow out of the abdomen and through the body. | 01-19-2012 |
20140070957 | WEARABLE COMMUNICATION PLATFORM - An wearable communications garment that includes one or more user-selectable inputs integrated into the garment. A sartorial communications apparatus may include a flexible material that is worn (e.g., as an undergarment) by the user and includes one or more interactive sensors that may be manually activated by a user, even through one or more intervening layers of clothing. The apparatus may also include one or more additional body sensors configured to sense a user's position, movement, and/or physiological status. The sensor(s) may be connected via a conductive trace on the garment to a sensor module for analysis and/or transmission. Methods of manufacturing the garments as well as methods of using the garments are also described. | 03-13-2014 |
20140318699 | METHODS OF MAKING GARMENTS HAVING STRETCHABLE AND CONDUCTIVE INK - Methods of forming garments having one or more stretchable conductive ink patterns. Described herein are method of making garments (including compression garments) having one or more highly stretchable conductive ink pattern formed of a composite of an insulative adhesive, a conductive ink, and an intermediate gradient zone between the adhesive and conductive ink. The conductive ink typically includes between about 40-60% conductive particles, between about 30-50% binder; between about 3-7% solvent; and between about 3-7% thickener. The stretchable conductive ink patterns may be stretched more than twice their length without breaking or rupturing. | 10-30-2014 |

Described herein are garments (including compression garments) having one or more highly stretchable conductive ink pattern formed of a composite of an insulative adhesive, a conductive ink, and an intermediate gradient zone between the adhesive and conductive ink. The conductive ink typically includes between about 40-60% conductive particles, between about 30-50% binder; between about 3-7% solvent; and between about 3-7% thickener. The stretchable conductive ink patterns may be stretched more than twice their length without breaking or rupturing. | 02-12-2015 |
