    Abstract: Techniques for detecting stress urinary incontinence use a pressure sensing catheter the electrical indications of which are applied to a processing unit for detecting pressure levels generated during involuntary coughs. The involuntary coughs are induced preferentially by using a nebulized composition of L-tartrate in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The area under the curve generated from pressure samples is calculated and used in conjunction with the detection of urine leakage to determine the existence of stress urinary incontinence.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for evaluating a patient's laryngeal cough reflex function includes a nebulizer capable of being actuated to atomize a cough-inducing substance, a switch associated with the nebulizer, the switch responsive to actuation of the nebulizer, and a connection between the switch and an EMG machine to thereby activate the EMG machine responsive to the switch. Elapsed time between switch actuation and electrical activity sensed in a muscle which contracts to produce a cough is indicative of status of the patient's laryngeal cough reflex.

    Abstract: An improved nebulizer places a venturi in a rainfall chamber and in close proximity to or inside a patient's oral cavity. One or more medicine feed lines feeds the medicine to a location proximate to a venturi. The rainfall chamber contains a sump communicating with the venturi for collecting medication not delivered to the patient and for recycling that medication for delivery to the patient. A medicine receiver may be pre-filled with a standard unit dose of medication.

    Abstract: An improved nebulizer places a venturi in close proximity to or inside a patient's oral cavity. One or more medicine feed lines feeds the medicine to a location proximate to a venturi. A plurality of medicines may be administered simultaneously to the patient, with preferably each medicine vial being shape-keyed to a medicine receiver of corresponding shape. The medicine vial or vials may contain a standard unit dose of medication. A portable gas canister can be utilized to supply air pressure to the venturi when a press open release closed type valve is actuated.

    Abstract: An improved nebulizer places a venturi in close proximity to or inside a patient's oral cavity. One or more medicine feed lines feeds the medicine to a location proximate to a venturi. One or more air curtain conduits may be positioned near the medicine feed line and the venturi and is fed by a source of air pressure to create a curtain of fluid flow to surround at least in part the flow path of the nebulized medication. This minimizes the amount of medication lost to the oral cavity and to the trachea and permits more medication to reach a patient's lungs. Medication contained in a patients exhalant can be filtered in an exhale conduit to prevent loss to the environment and can be recaptured for reuse.

    Abstract translation: 改进的喷雾器将文丘里管放置在靠近患者口腔内部或内部。 一个或多个药物喂养线将药物喂给靠近文丘里管的位置。 一个或多个气幕导管可以位于药物供给管线和文丘里管附近,并且被气压源供给以产生流体流的帘幕,至少部分地包围雾化药物的流动路径。 这最大程度地减少了口腔和气管损失的药物量,并允许更多的药物到达患者的肺部。 可以在呼气管中过滤包含在患者呼吸中的药物,以防止对环境的损失,并可以重新使用。

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for training a person in route management are based on a personal computer. The apparatus may be used for example to train a bus driver to follow a new or changed route. A data store stores data streams corresponding to different kinds of information of the route, including video of the route, audio data, sound data, GPS and time data, and vehicle engine management data. A VDU and loudspeaker are used as output devices to present the plurality of data streams to a user such that they are co-related to the route to be followed. Data streams corresponding to different route information are not combined in the data store, but comprise cross-referable data. The computer is programmed to present the first data stream and the further data stream in a co-related manner via the output devices and in dependence upon the cross-referable data.

    Abstract: A connector assembly includes first and second hoses, a tubular connector, and a clamp. The tubular connector includes first and second radial projections that are spaced apart along an axial direction of the tubular connector. The tubular connector extends into the first hose, and the first radial projection of the tubular connector engages with the inner surface of the first hose. The tubular connector also extends into the second hose, and the second radial projection of the tubular connector engages with the inner surface of the second hose. The first hose extends into the second hose so that the first and second hoses axially overlap in an area between the first and second radial projections of the tubular connector. The clamp engages the outer surface of the second hose in the axially overlapping area of the first and second hoses to clamp the first and second hoses to the tubular connector.
