    摘要: The invention relates to improved apparatus and methods for respiratory inductive plesthysmography. The invention includes apparatus for measuring changes in the circumference of a subject comprising of an energisable conducting wire having two ends, engagement means for engaging said ends to form a gapless conducting loop, the engagement means being in electrical communication with the conducting wire. The relationship between the elements of the apparatus provides a reduced level of noise associated with a measureable signal attributed to the changes in circumference. Signals generated in the apparatus may be processed and communicated through various means for analysis of respiratory effort. A method is disclosed for measuring respiratory effort with a gapless conducting wire energised with current.

    摘要: A system and method for measuring the shape of an object using a magnetic induction radio sensor involves at least partially enclosing the object with a magnetic loop antenna of the magnetic induction radio sensor, where the inductance of the magnetic loop antenna depends on the shape of the object, and providing a particular capacitance at an antenna matching circuit coupled to the magnetic loop antenna in response to the inductance of the magnetic loop antenna such that the magnetic loop antenna and the antenna matching circuit form a resonant circuit and the resonant circuit has a fixed resonant frequency, where the particular capacitance is used to measure the shape of the object.

    摘要: The accuracy of measurements of changes in air volumes within a plethysmograph is improved by addition of a manifold to provide a common source of exterior air to the plethysmograph test and reference chamber. The preferred plethysmograph includes test and reference chambers divided by a common separator wall, pneumotachs in communication with the chambers, and a differential pressure transducer having a first inlet in communication with the test chamber and a second inlet in communication with the reference chamber. The manifold includes an exterior air inlet and a passageway extending between the two pneumotachs and the air inlet. The passageway may be in the form of separate tubes or conduits, or a common housing covering the pneumotachs. Preferably, the distances from the exterior air inlets to the two pneumotachs are approximately the same.

    摘要: A system includes but is not limited to at least one manifold (102, 104); an inhalant dissemination device (108) coupled to the at least one manifold (102, 104); an inhalant characterization device (114) coupled to the at least one manifold (102, 104), and a control module (122) operably coupled to the inhalant dissemination device (108) and the inhalant characterization device (114), said control module (122) configured to (a) determine an inhalant concentration in a manifold (102, 104), and (b) calculate at least one of a retrospective and a prospective inhaled dose in response to the inhalant concentration, and (c) start and stop a flow through the manifold (102, 104) until the at least one of the retrospective and the prospective inhaled dose is greater than or equal to a specified dose. A method includes but is not limited to starting a flow of an inhalant through a manifold (102, 104); determining an inhalant concentration of the inhalant in the manifold (102, 104), and stopping the flow of the inhalant through the manifold (102, 104) when the inhalant concentration is in a first specified inhalant-concentration range.
