20110196263 | METHODS FOR ASSESSMENT OF PELVIC ORGAN CONDITIONS AFFECTING THE VAGINA - Methods for assessment of pelvic floor conditions based on tactile imaging are described. The vaginal wall is deformed using a transvaginal probe equipped with tactile pressure sensors and a motion tracking sensor. The vaginal wall coordinates and pressure patterns are obtained during the examination and used to build 3-D tactile image of the vagina and to calculate elasticity modulus profiles and spacing profiles along selected lines inside 3-D tactile image. The profile values at specified locations are then compared with thresholds or profiles for normal conditions of vagina and its support structures. Methods of the invention are disclosed to be used in assessing a risk of pelvic organ prolapse development, estimating an extent of pelvic floor organ traumatic damage after childbirth and estimating an improvement after an interventional procedure. | 08-11-2011 |
20120259247 | METHODS FOR ASSESSMENT OF IMPROVEMENTS IN PELVIC ORGAN CONDITIONS AFTER AN INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURE - Methods for assessment of pelvic floor conditions based on tactile imaging are described. The vaginal wall is deformed before and after an interventional procedure using a transvaginal probe equipped with tactile pressure sensors and a motion tracking sensor. The vaginal wall coordinates and pressure patterns are obtained during the examination and used to build 3-D tactile image of the vagina and to calculate elasticity modulus profiles and spacing profiles along selected lines inside 3-D tactile image. The “before” and “after” profile values at specified locations are then compared to each other and to thresholds or profiles for normal conditions of vagina and its support structures. Methods of the invention may be used in estimating an improvement after an interventional procedure such as pelvic tissue regeneration, muscle repair or implantation of a supporting structure. | 10-11-2012 |

20130034244 | AUDIO SYSTEM, METHOD FOR GENERATING AN AUDIO SIGNAL, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND AUDIO SIGNAL - The invention relates to an audio system for generating an audio signal. More specifically the invention relates to an audio system, especially an audio alarm system, for generating an audio signal comprising means for generating a component of the audio signal at a base frequency and means for generating further components of the audio signal at other frequencies than the base frequency, whereby the base and the other frequencies are separated from each other by separating frequency bands in order to enhance the loudness of the audio signal. The invention furthermore relates to a method for generating an audio signal, a computer program and an audio signal. | 02-07-2013 |
