摘要： It is an object of the invention to provide a user-friendly monitoring system with improved measurement quality, which is suitable for home use. This object is achieved according to the invention by a garment (1) comprising at least one dry electrode (2, 3, 4) for use with a monitoring system for monitoring physiological parameters of a recipient, the electrode (2, 3, 4) having a working surface which is to be brought into contact with the recipient's skin, characterized in that the working surface is automatically positioned at a point of close skin contact with a natural sweat layer present, if the garment (1) is worn by the recipient. The basic principle underlying the invention is that the position of the electrodes (2, 3, 4) on the body has an impact on the acquired signal quality. Therefore, it is an idea of the invention to arrange dry electrodes in positions of the garment (1) where close body contact is automatically obtained and a natural sweat layer is present, if the garment is worn. Because a natural sweat layer is already present around the armpit, the operability of the electrode (2, 3, 4) is given automatically, if it is located in the armpit area (10).

摘要： A pulse detector that uses electromagnetic waves for detecting a patient pulse in conjunction with the administration of defibrillation and/or CPR. Electromagnetic waves are applied to a patient blood vessel and the reflected electromagnetic waves are analyzed for a Doppler shift, which is indicative of a pulse. In some applications the pulse detector can be used as a stand-alone device in conjunction with the administration of CPR. In other applications, the pulse detector is included with a defibrillator and provides pulsatile information that is analyzed in addition to ECG information in determining resuscitation therapy, or following defibrillation to ascertain its success.

摘要： A modulator for a communications system includes a spread spectrum coder and a pulse code modulator having a signal input port connectable to a signal output port of the spread spectrum coder. The modulator performs a robust and error free modulation and coding scheme by using a modified spread spectrum scheme combined with pulse code modulation. The communication system contains a low data rate, noise robust modulation and coding scheme using a very simple transmitter. This results in a very straightforward transmitter circuit, reducing size and costs of the transmitter.

摘要： The invention relates to a distress signaling system, a body area network for enabling a distress signaling, a method for signaling a condition of a distress and a vehicle arranged with the distress signaling system. The distress signaling system 10 according to the invention comprises monitoring means 11 arranged in a vehicle in order to monitor a vital sign of a seated passenger by means of a sensor 12 arranged to measure a signal representative to said sign. The monitoring means 11 are preferably arranged to perform a continuous monitoring of the vital sign of the passenger and are further arranged to provide a corresponding signal to the front-end electronics 20 of the system 10. The front-end electronics 20 is arranged to analyze the signal from the monitoring means 11. For that purpose the front-end electronics 20 comprises a data processing means 21 arranged to process the measured signal in order to yield data representative to a condition of the passenger. The data processing means 21 comprises a preamplifier 22, an analogue processing circuit 22 and an ADC unit 23. The data processing means 21 forwards the corresponding data to the data analysis means 25, arranged to analyze said data in order to yield a condition-related parameter. The determined condition-related parameter is written into a first look-up table 25a. The data analysis means 25 is further arranged to compare said condition-related parameter to a preset valid parameter stored in a second look-up table 25b. In case the data analysis means detects that the condition-related parameter exceeds a preset valid parameter, it generates a trigger signal to actuate the indicating means 26. The indicating means 26 receives the trigger signal and generate a suitable feedback to the passenger, preferably by means of a suitable user-interface 27. Additionally, the indicating means 26 can be arranged to control a vehicle control system 29, in order to alter a cabin environment, or to actuate an alarming means of the vehicle, like an acoustic alarm and/or the emergency lights and/or to actuate an engine of the vehicle.
