摘要:
A miniature wireless transcutaneous electrical neuro or muscular stimulation unit. The unit has a housing attached to a plurality of electrodes. An electronics module containing an electrical circuit is contained within the housing and provides a sequence of monophasic or biphasic pulses to a patient's pain site via the electrodes. The electrodes can be disposable and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The patient may select and control the intensity and the frequency of the pulses by choosing one of several TENS and microcurrent waveforms, as well as the orientation and quantity of the electrodes. The means for supplying power to the electronics module can be integrated with the electrodes in one detachable and disposable assembly. A worn-remote controller can send transmission signals to a receiver within the electronic module thereby allowing the patient to program specific units placed on the patient's body to perform operations in a specified series of waveforms. The electrodes may be embedded in a splint, bandage, brace or cast, where wires or flex-circuit material connect the electrodes to the unit. The electrodes can be arranged in a grid-like manner to allow for programming of a specific firing order which provides for greater therapeutic effect to a pain site, and may also be embedded in adhesive strips, similar to a conventional Band-Aid.
摘要:
A system and method for establishing hybrid communications which establishes said communication with any one of a variety of different wireless communication devices enabled to receive satellite data transmissions such as satellite radio either directly via an over the air network or through the provision of a short range transceiver assembly so as to provide data communication from to the wireless communication device from a computer network, such as the Internet or a LAN connected to the Internet, utilizing a computer network access. The wireless communication device is structured to seamlessly auto switch its operation between either of at least two independent frequencies for communication with the computer network or with the over-the-air network, dependent on predetermined parameters including the acceptance of a unique identifier or code and/or the positioning of the wireless communication device within a predetermined vicinity range relative to the network access.
摘要:
An antenna assembly (100) for use in a portable two-way radio communications device includes a radio housing (101) including one or more boss (103) used for securing portions of a substrate (105) to the radio housing. An aperture (115) located within an antenna housing (111) is positioned over an antenna boss (107) where a metal trace located on the substrate (105) can be electrically connected to the antenna housing (111) using a fastener (109). The antenna assembly (100) permits an antenna element (113) located in the antenna housing (111) to be easily connected to the substrate (105) using minimal component parts while fastening both the antenna housing (111) and substrate (105) into a fixed position.

A battery (10) includes at least one cell (71) which is contained in a housing (16). Mating mechanisms, located on the housing, selectively attach the battery to the radio. The mating mechanisms include a protrusion (36) selectively receivable (64) by the radio. For electrical coupling, at least one electrical contact (18) is located on the protrusion (36).

An electrical contact (10) for insertion into an opening (31) in a housing wall comprises a substantially solid conductive member (20) having a radius smaller than the opening in the housing wall, a pair of substantially planar contact surfaces (18 & 22) on opposing ends of the conductive member, and at least one barb (14 or 16) on the entire periphery of the solid conductive member located between the planar contact surfaces, wherein the barb has a larger radius than the opening in the housing wall.
摘要:
A system and method for establishing communication with any one of a variety of different wireless communication devices including through the provision of a short range transceiver assembly so as to provide data communication from a sender to the wireless communication device either over the Internet, utilizing an Internet access facility, such as a computer, or alternatively using an over-the-air network, compatible with the communication device. The wireless communication device is structured to operate on either of at least two independent frequencies for communication with the computer or with the over-the-air network, dependent on predetermined parameters including the acceptance of a unique identifier or code and/or the positioning of the wireless communication device, within a predetermined vicinity range relative to the computer. An auto switching capability establishes data communication with the computer or with the over-the-air network, dependent on whether the identification and vicinity parameters have been met.
