Abstract: A first electrical node configured to monitor a digital signal is disclosed. The first electrical node includes a first connector and a second connector. The first electrical node includes a processor configured to receive a digital signal from the second connector. The processor is configured to determine whether a portion of the digital signal is intended for the first electrical node. The processor is configured to convert the portion of the digital signal to an analog signal based on whether the portion is intended for the first electrical node without affecting the digital signal received.

Abstract: An electronic stethoscope includes a housing configured for hand-held manipulation, a transducer supported by the housing and configured to sense auscultation signals at a first location, and a headset coupled to the housing and configured to deliver audio corresponding to the auscultation signals through earpieces on the headset. The electronic stethoscope further includes a processor disposed in the housing and configured to convert the auscultation signals to first digital signals representative of the auscultation signals and to wirelessly transmit the first digital signals from the electronic stethoscope via a secure digital network to a second location such that the audio corresponding to the auscultation signals is provided to headsets of one or more additional electronic stethoscopes at the second location in substantial real time with the sensing of the auscultation sounds at the first location.
Abstract translation: 电子听诊器包括被配置为用于手持操作的壳体,由壳体支撑并被配置为感测在第一位置处的听诊信号的传感器,以及耦合到壳体的头戴耳机,并且被配置为通过耳机将听诊信号传送到听筒 耳机。 电子听诊器还包括设置在外壳中并被配置为将听诊信号转换成表示听诊信号的第一数字信号的处理器,并且经由安全数字网络将第一数字信号从电子听诊器无线地传输到第二位置,使得 与第一位置处的听诊声音的感测相当,实质上实时地将与听诊信号对应的音频提供给位于第二位置的一个或多个附加电子听诊器的耳机。

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hearing protector (10) with a sensor module (30) having a module sensor (32). The sensor module (30) is removably attached to the cushion (22, 24) and the cup (12A, 14A) of the earmuff (12, 14) of the hearing protector (10). The hearing protector (10) according to present disclosure allows the arrangement of sensors at a hearing protector (10) in an easy and cost-efficient way even with multiple sensors. The advantage of such a hearing protector (10) is an easy, compact and reliable solution of a hearing protector (10) providing information about the environment and about the conditions of the user (100) or worker using such a hearing protector (10). Also, a method of retrofitting such a sensor module (30) to a hearing protector (1) is provided. Such a method is advantageous because reversible retrofitting of existing hearing protectors (1) not having the required functionality of sensors is provided.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method of displaying a portion of an acoustic signal on an electronic stethoscope. The method can include receiving the acoustic signal from an acoustic sensor of the electronic stethoscope and an electrical signal from a sensing module of the electronic stethoscope. The method can include identifying a trigger point associated with the electrical signal. The method can include generating acoustic information from the acoustic signal and synchronizing the acoustic information to the trigger point for the cardiac cycle. The method can include generating a phonocardiogram as a composite phonocardiogram based on the synchronized acoustic information. The method can include displaying a representative portion of the composite phonocardiogram in real-time for a duration of a first period of time on a display that is integral to a chest piece of the electronic stethoscope.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an ergonomic chestpiece for a stethoscope. The chestpiece includes a bottom surface which is generally planar and adapted to be placed near the patient for receiving auscultatory sounds. The chestpiece includes a raised center portion defining first and second lateral indented gripping surfaces, the raised center portion having a top surface opposite the bottom surface. The chestpiece includes a stem portion extending distally from the raised center portion. The first lateral indented gripping surface is defined by a first wall comprising a first concave surface arcuate about a first axis and the second lateral indented gripping surface is defined by a second wall comprising a second concave surface arcuate about a second axis. The first axis and the second axis form a V-shape comprising an apex oriented in a direction of the stem portion.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a stethoscope chestpiece. The stethoscope chestpiece includes a first major cavity formed from a portion of an outer wall portion. The outer wall portion includes an outer lower edge forming an outer lower edge perimeter that establishes a bottommost plane. The stethoscope chestpiece also includes a second major cavity formed from a portion of an inner wall portion having an immobilizing element disposed thereon, the second major cavity is within the first major cavity, and a portion of the immobilizing element is spaced-apart with a portion of the outer lower edge perimeter. The first major cavity volume is at least two times a second major cavity volume.
