摘要: A functional electrical stimulation (FES) device includes electrodes arranged to apply functional electrical stimulation to a body part of the user. FES stimulation is performed by: receiving values of a set of user metrics for the user; receiving a target position of the body part represented as values for a set of body part position measurements; determining a user-specific energization pattern for producing the target position based on the received target position and the received values of the set of user metrics for the user; and energizing the electrodes of the FES device in accordance with the determined user-specific energization pattern. The determination may utilize an FES calibration database with records having fields containing: values of the set of user metrics for reference users; energization patterns; and values of the set of body part position metrics for positions assumed by the body part in response to applying the energization patterns.

摘要: A device for functional electrical stimulation (FES), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), and/or electromyography (EMG) readout includes a sleeve sized and shaped to be worn on a human arm and comprising an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve. The inner sleeve has openings formed therein, and has an exposed side positioned to contact skin and an opposite backside facing the outer sleeve. Electrode strips each comprise a linear circuit board on which a row of electrodes is mounted. The electrode strips are detachably and selectively mountable to the inner sleeve in a plurality of different orientations. The electrode strips are mountable on the inner sleeve with the linear circuit boards disposed on the backside of the inner sleeve between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve and the electrodes passing through the openings of the inner sleeve so as to be positioned to contact skin.

摘要: Methods for determining the efficacy of a given drug for a specific patient with cancer in vitro prior to, or after, the initiation of treatment of the patient are disclosed. Blood from the cancer patient is separated into an assay test tube and a control test tube. The blood in the assay test tube is exposed to a cancer drug. The two test tubes are then visually examined and compared to determine the effect of the cancer drug on cancer cells, other rare cells in the blood, or on normal constituents of the blood of a cancer patient.

摘要: Methods and devices for altering the power of a lens, such as an intraocular lens, are disclosed. In one method, the lens comprises a single polymer matrix containing crosslinkable pendant groups, wherein the polymer matrix increases in volume when crosslinked. The lens does not contain free monomer. Upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation, crosslinking causes the exposed portion of the lens to increase in volume, causing an increase in the refractive index. In another method, the lens comprises a polymer matrix containing photobleachable chromophores. Upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation, photobleaching causes a decrease in refractive index in the exposed portion without any change in lens thickness. These methods avoid the need to wait for diffusion to occur to change the lens shape and avoid the need for a second exposure to radiation to lock in the changes to the lens.
