| 20090035974 | CABLE TERMINATION APPARATUS AND METHOD - A cable termination to a power distribution module includes a power distribution module housing having a conductive mounting tube extending therefrom. The mounting tube includes a main bore extending therethrough for receiving a main power cable. A main power cable is received within the main bore, wherein the main power cable includes at least one wire extending into the power distribution module housing. The main power cable includes a cylindrical shield element surrounding the at least one wire. A spring element engages the shield element and biases the shield element into engagement with the mounting tube to electrically common the shield element and the housing. | 02-05-2009 |

| 20100124834 | FUSE CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY - A connector assembly for mating with a power distribution module is provided. The connector assembly includes a header connector assembly and a fuse connector assembly. The header connector assembly is configured to be mounted to the power distribution module. The header assembly includes contacts that are connected to a power supply circuit within the power distribution module. The fuse connector assembly is configured to mate with the header assembly. The fuse connector assembly includes a fuse subassembly that has an insert body configured to hold a fuse and conductive terminals. The conductive terminals are mounted to the insert body and are configured to electrically couple with the fuse to establish a fused conductive pathway. The fuse subassembly mates with the contacts in the header assembly to electrically couple the fused conductive pathway with the power supply circuit of the power distribution module. | 05-20-2010 |

| 20100204550 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CHRONIC DISEASE MONITORING - An apparatus, system, and method for monitoring a person suffering from a chronic medical condition predicts and assesses physiological changes which could affect the care of that subject. Examples of such chronic diseases include (but are not limited to) heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and diabetes. Monitoring includes measurements of respiratory movements, which can then be analyzed for evidence of changes in respiratory rate, or for events such as hypoponeas, apneas and periodic breathing. Monitoring may be augmented by the measurement of nocturnal heart rate in conjunction with respiratory monitoring. Additional physiological measurements can also be taken such as subjective symptom data, blood pressure, blood oxygen levels, and various molecular markers. Embodiments for detection of respiratory patterns and heart rate are disclosed, together with exemplar implementations of decision processes based on these measurements. | 08-12-2010 |

| 20100179438 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING CARDIORESPIRATORY PARAMETERS - An apparatus, system, and method is disclosed for monitoring the motion, breathing, heart rate of humans in a convenient and low-cost fashion, and for deriving and displaying useful measurements of cardiorespiratory performance from the measured signals. The motion, breathing, and heart rate signals are obtained through a processing applied to a raw signal obtained in a non-contact fashion, typically using a radio-frequency sensor. Processing into separate cardiac and respiratory components is described. The heart rate can be determined by using either spectral or time-domain processing. The respiratory rate can be calculated using spectral analysis. Processing to derive the heart rate, respiratory sinus arrhythmia, or a ventilatory threshold parameter using the system is described. The sensor, processing, and display can be incorporated in a single device which can be worn or held close to the body while exercising (e.g., in a wristwatch or mobile phone configuration), or alternately placed in a fixed piece of exercise equipment at some distance form the body (e.g., in a treadmill dash panel), and may also be integrated with other sensors, such as position locators. | 07-15-2010 |

| 20100152543 | CONTACTLESS AND MINIMAL-CONTACT MONITORING OF QUALITY OF LIFE PARAMETERS FOR ASSESSMENT AND INTERVENTION - An apparatus, system, and method for the measurement, aggregation and analysis of data collected using non-contact or minimally-contacting sensors provides quality of life parameters for individual subjects, particularly in the context of a controlled trial of interventions on human subjects (e.g., a clinical trial of a drug, or an evaluation of a consumer item such as a fragrance). In particular, non-contact or minimal-contact measurement of quality-of-life parameters such as sleep, stress, relaxation, drowsiness, temperature and emotional state of humans may be evaluated, together with automated sampling, storage, and transmission to a remote data analysis center. One component of the system is that the objective data is measured with as little disruption as possible to the normal behavior of the subject. The system can also support behavioral and pharmaceutical interventions aimed at improving quality of life. | 06-17-2010 |

| 20090203972 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR MONITORING PHYSIOLOGICAL SIGNS - An apparatus, system, and method monitors the motion, breathing, heart rate and sleep state of subjects, e.g., humans, in a convenient, non-invasive/non-contact, and low-cost fashion. More particularly, the motion, breathing, and heart rate signals are obtained through processing applied to a raw signal obtained in a non-contact fashion, typically using a radio-frequency sensor. Periods of sleep disturbed respiration, or central apnea can be detected through analysis of the respiratory signal. The mean heart rate, and derived information, such as the presence of cardiac arrhythmias can be determined from the cardiac signal. Motion estimates can be used to recognize disturbed sleep and periodic limb movements. The sleep state may be determined by applying a classifier model to the resulting streams of respiratory, cardiac and motion data. A means for display of the sleep state, respiratory, cardiac, and movement status may also be provided. | 08-13-2009 |
