    摘要: An apparatus for determining the volume of liquid in a probe tip of an aspirating or dispensing probe, such as those used in a diagnostic analyzer, includes: two electrodes on opposite sides of the probe tip and the electrodes and liquid form a variable capacitor; a resistor; a voltage source and the electrodes, resistor, and solenoid are in electrical communication in at least one of series, parallel or series and parallel to form an RC circuit; and a microprocessor in electrical communication with the RC circuit for converting an electrical signal to a volume of liquid in the probe tip. In a preferred embodiment, the probe tip is separate from the probe and is adapted to be fitted on the end of a probe for aspirating and dispensing a liquid. In another preferred embodiment, the apparatus further includes a solenoid, and the voltage source, electrodes, resistor, and solenoid are in electrical communication in at least one of series, parallel or series and parallel to form an RLC circuit, and the microprocessor is in electrical communication with the RLC circuit for converting an electrical signal to a volume of liquid in the probe tip. The apparatus can be used with a liquid have a known or unknown dielectric constant and can be used to determine the presence of bubbles in the liquid.

    摘要: Systems and methods for estimating caloric expenditure. The systems can include a physiological sensor to measure a patient's physical activity, and a posture sensor to measure the patient's posture. An estimated caloric expenditure can be calculated based on data from the physiological sensor and the posture sensor. For example, the estimated caloric expenditure can be calculated at least in part based on the posture data. For example, the estimated caloric expenditure can be validated based on the posture data.

    摘要: A physiological response to activity (PRA) during a subject's activities of daily living (ADL) can be used, such as to generate useful diagnostic information about the subject. This can involve using a template, such as an impulse response template. The technique can be used with an implantable or other ambulatory medical monitoring or therapy device, such as a cardiac function management device, or with a local or remote external interface device.
