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.

The invention relates to an ultrasound probe for use especially in medical diagnostics using ultrasonography. Said probe comprises an ultrasound sensor configured to generate an ultrasound send signal as a reaction to an electrical impulse and to receiving a receive signal reflected on an observation medium. Said ultrasound sensor is held in a supporting device and fitted with coupling and transmission devices for sending the transmission signal into the observation medium. Said transmission signal is a multifrequency signal comprising at least two individual signals which are separate from each other in the frequency range. Said probe also comprises means to evaluate the reflected receive signal in relation to the individual signals. The ultrasound sensor has a single crystal for generating signals, which crystal is simultaneously and in a synchronized manner impinged upon by the multifrequency signal with several carrier frequencies in the proximity of its resonance frequency. On a back surface facing away from the observation medium, the single crystal has an adaptation element made of metal or glass which serves to influence the band width and/or resonance frequency in a predeterminable manner.
