Abstract:
A flexible neuromodulation device and method capable of varying a neuromodulation therapy in order to prevent, delay, or control a sexual emission, and/or increasing an intensity of a sexual climax.
Abstract:
A Programmable Analog Display Timer System (PAT) can include an analog indication of time according to one or more programmable time bases. In certain embodiments, the PAT can be programmed to operate one or more analog indicators at independent time bases. During operation, each of the analog indicators can advance at a rate determined by the programmed time base. Upon viewing the analog display, an observer may quickly ascertain proportional, relative, and remaining time information from the position or angle of each indicator.

Abstract:
The gas sample line in a cardlopulmonary performance analyzing system is designed to include a flow sensor for measuring the rate of flow of the gas sample being drawn and is used to adjust the initial transit time value measured at the time of system calibration for a known value of flow in arriving at a new or current transit time value at the time that a test is actually being performed on a patient. This dynamically compensates the transit time for variations in the sample flow rate, thus providing a system with accuracy that is not dependent upon maintaining constant sample flow rates.
Abstract:
A method is described for dynamically calibrating a flowmeter used in cardiopulmonary performance analyzing equipment which takes into account the ambient conditions at the test site in terms of relative humidity, barometric pressure and temperature. At the time of factory calibration, a density factor is computed and stored in a nonvolatile memory along with a calibration factor obtained by passing a known volume of gas at a known relative humidity, temperature and pressure through a pneumotach mouthpiece in a predetermined time span. When the system is being used in the field to evaluate a patient, a new density factor is computed that takes into account the relative humidity, barometric pressure and temperature at the test site and this new density factor along with the density factor previously computed and stored at factory calibration are used to compute a new flow calibration factor for use in obtaining an accurate flow parameter from the system flowmeter.
