20110087129 | MONITORING SYSTEM - Apparatus for performing impedance measurements on a subject. The apparatus includes a first processing system for determining an impedance measurement procedure and determining instructions corresponding to the measurement procedure. A second processing system is provided for receiving the instructions, using the instructions to generate control signals, with the control signals being used to apply one or more signals to the subject. The second processing system then receives first data indicative of the one or more signals applied to the subject, second data indicative of one or more signals measured across the subject and performs at least preliminary processing of the first and second data to thereby allow impedance values to be determined. | 04-14-2011 |

20080319336 | Oedema Detection - A method of detecting tissue oedema in a subject. The method includes determining a measured impedance for first and second body segments. An index indicative of a ratio of the extra-cellular to intra-cellular fluid is then calculated for each body segment, with these being used to determine an index ratio based on the index for the first and second body segments. The index ratio can in turn be used to determine the presence, absence or degree of tissue oedema, for example by comparing the index ratio to a reference or previously determined index ratios. | 12-25-2008 |

20080270051 | Impedance Parameter Values - A method of determining parameter values used in impedance analysis of a subject. The method includes using a processing system to determine a number of impedance measurements at a corresponding number of frequencies. The impedance measurements are used to determine estimates of parameter values, with the estimates being used to determine theoretical impedance values based on the parameter value estimates. The theoretical impedance values are compared to the measured impedance values to allow a modification direction to be determined for at least one of the parameter value estimates. This is then used to modify at least one parameter value estimate, with the parameter values being determined at least in part from one or more modified parameter value estimates. | 10-30-2008 |
20100087750 | IMPEDANCE MEASUREMENTS - A method of determining frequencies for use in performing impedance measurements. The method includes determining estimates for parameter values representing an impedance response for at least one subject, using the estimated parameter values to determine a design and using the design to determine frequencies for use in impedance measurements. | 04-08-2010 |
20100152605 | MONITORING SYSTEM AND PROBE - A probe for use in performing impedance measurements on a subject. The probe includes a housing for being held by an operator in use, a contact surface for contacting the subject and a connector for connecting the contact surface to a measuring device. | 06-17-2010 |
20110054343 | MONITORING SYSTEM - A method of performing impedance measurements on a subject. The method includes using a processing system to determine at least one impedance measurement to be performed, and at one electrode arrangement associated with the determined measurement. A representation of the arrangement is displayed so the impedance measurement can be performed once the electrodes have been arranged in accordance with the displayed representation. | 03-03-2011 |
20110301489 | FLUID INDICATOR - Apparatus for use in performing impedance measurements on a subject, wherein the apparatus includes a processing system for, at each of three frequencies, determining first and second parameter values for first and second impedance parameters relating to the impedance of at least one body segment of the subject, solving simultaneous equations representing a circle defined with respect to the first and second impedance parameters to thereby determine circle parameter values, the equations being solved using the first and second parameter values at each of the three frequencies, using the circle parameter values to determine a third impedance parameter value at a respective frequency and using the third impedance parameter value to determine an indicator indicative of relative fluid levels within the body segment of the subject. | 12-08-2011 |

20090305400 | Modified chaperonin 10 - A novel granule dispersion composition which comprises water and, dispersed therein, a finely pulverized, sparingly water-soluble substance. The granule dispersion composition is prepared by dispersing in water a granular material which comprises a specific substance sparingly soluble in water, a polymer, and an oil and has an average particle diameter of 1 μm or smaller and in which the ratio of the total weight of the polymer and oil to the weight of the specific substance is 1.5 or higher. | 12-10-2009 |
