Abstract:
This invention is directed to materials and devices for sensing bio-potential signals from animals, particularly to sensing bio-potential signals to monitor humans in the medical field. In general, bio-potential sensors may be attached to the body of an animal, such as a human, in order to receive bio-potential signals such that information about the bioelectrical properties of the cells and/or tissues of the animal may be gathered. The bio-potential sensor may generally include a dry electrode that may be placed in contact with the skin of an animal to receive bio-potential signals from the animal. A dry electrode may generally include an electrically conductive solid material which may conduct electrical signals from an animal.
Abstract:
This invention relates to devices and methods for measuring and/or recording electrical signals from a body, particularly to devices and methods for recording electrical signals from a body while inside a medical imaging device, such as magnetic field scanner, such as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner, or a computerized tomography (CT) scanner, and more particularly to devices, such as headpieces with electrodes and conductive pathways, and methods for synthesis of conductive inks used to fabricate the devices, such as with inkjet printer technology. Inkjet compatible inks may be utilized that employ nanoparticle solutions or metalorganic decomposition to generate metallic depositions, such as of silver, without sintering or other secondary processing in predetermined, including customized, layouts.
