| 20080238369 | Battery With Integrated Voltage Converter - Disclosed is a battery. The battery includes an electrochemical cell having an internal bore therethrough, and a voltage converter module electrically coupled to the electrochemical cell and disposed within a portion of the internal bore, the voltage converter configured to convert a first voltage produced by the electrochemical cell into a second, different voltage. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080238372 | Battery With an Integrated Voltage Converter Having a Bypass Circuit - Disclosed is a battery having an internally integrated voltage converter module. The battery includes at least one electrochemical cell having an internal bore, a voltage converter module electrically coupled to the at least one electrochemical cell and disposed within a portion of the internal bore, the voltage converter configured to convert a first voltage produced by the at least one electrochemical cell into a second, different voltage, a set of terminals being electrically coupled to the voltage converter, and a bypass circuit coupled between one of the terminals of the set of terminals and the at least one electrochemical cell to direct charging current applied from an external source to the at least one electrochemical cell. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080248375 | Lithium secondary batteries - Secondary batteries having fast charge times are provided. In some implementations, the cathode includes LiFePO | 10-09-2008 |
| 20090131808 | SPHYGMOMANOMETER AND CHIP CARD THEREFOR - A sphygmomanometer and a chip card for use therein. The sphygmomanometer includes a measuring device for determining blood pressure data and a control device. The control device has a chip card reader operable to read an insertable control chip card. The chip card includes data which is read by the chip card reader. A control function of the sphygmomanometer is carried out as a result of the data being read by the chip card reader. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090143687 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANAGING, ARCHIVING AND/OR EVALUATING BLOOD PRESSURE DATA - A device and method for managing, archiving and/or evaluating blood pressure data of a plurality of patients. The blood pressure data is acquired using blood pressure monitors. The blood pressure data for each patient is separately stored in an individual storage space in a central data server. A network connection including at least one network terminal is used to input the data into the individual storage space and read out the data from the individual storage space. A control device controls access to the storage spaces by comparing a transmitted access code including a unique device identification code for the blood pressure monitor of the patient corresponding to the individual storage space with a unique access code corresponding to the individual storage space. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090275845 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE NON-INVASIVE DETECTION OF BLOOD FLOW AND ASSOCIATED PARAMETERS IN PARTICULAR ARTERIAL WAVEFORM AND BLOOD PRESSURE - A method and a device for the non-invasive determination of blood flow and associated parameters in arteries, in particular the arterial waveform and the blood pressure. According to said method, a sensor having at least one deformable contact portion is placed on a tissue surface, essentially over an artery, and the contact portion is subjected to a temporally variable and defined external force, F(t). The deformation of the contact portion by the blood flow inside the artery in response to said force F(t) is measured. | 11-05-2009 |
