To achieve a miniaturization of the ECG cable and omitting the conventionally used trunk cable and trunk cable connector, the ECG cable comprises a core (2), a resistive wire cable (3a-3h) comprising a plurality of resistive wires (31-37) wound around the core and isolated with respect to each other, and two or more flexible lead wires (4), each connected to a respective resistive wire at its one end (40) and to an electrode (5) at its other end (41).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an adapter (100) for coupling with a medical coupling unit (1) and a medical sensor (2) that are configured for being coupled for electrical signal transmission between them. The adapter comprises an adapter coupling unit (101) configured to fit with a coupling-side connector (10) of the medical coupling unit (1) and including a plurality of coupling-side electrical contacts (111, 113) for contacting a plurality of electrical contacts (11, 13) of the coupling-side connector (10) and a sensor-side connector (120) configured to fit with a sensor-side connector (20) of the medical sensor (2) and including a plurality of sensor-side electrical contacts (121, 123) for contacting a plurality of electrical contacts (21, 23) of the sensor-side connector (20), allowing the adapter coupling unit (101) to be mechanically coupled between the medical coupling unit (1) and the medical sensor (2). Further, the adapter comprises one or more wires (102) fixedly connected to the adapter coupling unit for coupling one or more sensor elements (225) with the adapter coupling unit for electrical signal transmission from the one or more sensor elements to the adapter coupling unit, and connection circuitry (103) within the adapter coupling unit (101) for connecting said sensor-side electrical contacts (121, 123) and said one or more wires (102) with said coupling-side electrical contacts (111, 113) allowing signal transmission from the medical sensor (2) and one or more sensor elements (225) coupled to the adapter coupling unit (101) to the medical coupling unit (1).
Abstract:
The invention provides an LED module (1) having a concentrated light output window. Light output from a first output window (115) of an LED assembly (110) (e.g. from a plurality of LEDs) is passed to an input window of a light directing element (120) and redirected to be emitted from a second, smaller output window (125) of a light directing element. This difference in size thereby concentrates the light output by the light directing element. The second output window (of the light directing element) is substantially perpendicular to the first output window, allowing for the size of the LED assembly in a particular dimension to not be necessarily constrained by the size of the second output window.
Abstract:
Presented are concepts for monitoring an infection risk of a user. One such concept provides apparatus comprising: an environmental data acquisition unit adapted to obtain environmental information relating to a surrounding environment of the user; a detection arrangement adapted to detect a source of infection in the surrounding environment of the user and to generate an infection source signal representative of the detected source of infection; a user susceptibility unit adapted to obtain susceptibility information relating to a susceptibility of the user to infection. A risk determination unit may process the infection source signal, the obtained environmental information and the susceptibility information to determine an infection risk value representative of a risk of the user being infected by the source of infection. A cumulative risk assessment unit may determine an accumulated risk value representative of the user becoming infected during a predetermined time period based on the determined infection risk value and historical data relating to previously determined infection risk values obtained for the predetermined time period.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, one or more sensors of one or more mobile computing devices (100) carried by a user (118) engaging in a physical activity may generate one or more signals indicative of one or more health parameters of the user. In some embodiments, the one or more signals may be compared (306) with historical data associated with engagement by one or more users in one or more physical activities. In some embodiments, a determination may be made (308) based on the comparing that the user likely will experience nausea if the user continues engaging in the physical activity without taking one or more remedial actions. In response, an alert may be raised (310) to be provided to the user to take one or more remedial actions. In some embodiments, the historical data may be updated (316) based on a user reaction to the alert.
Abstract:
There is provided an apparatus for measuring a property of tear film in an eye of a subject, the apparatus comprising a disturbance device configured to cause a disturbance to the tear film in the eye of the subject; and a measurement device configured to measure the property of the tear film in the eye of the subject following the disturbance to the tear film.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a lighting device, in particular a headlamp for vehicles, at least comprising an array (1) of light sources (2), consisting of first and second light sources (2) being mounted within the same flat or curved plane, and a projecting optical system (3) arranged to project light emitted by the light sources (2) in a forward direction of the lighting device. At least one shifting element (6) is arranged in front of said first light sources. The shifting element (6) generates real or virtual emission positions of the light of said first light sources shifted towards or away from the projecting optical system (3) with respect to emission positions of said second light sources. With the proposed lighting device, in addition to the main lighting function of illumination, a pattern or signature can be projected at one or several additional image planes. The lighting device thus e.g. allows the additional projection of branding or safety patterns.
Abstract:
A power receiving module for use in a capacitive powering system for receiving wireless power transfer to a load of the module. The module comprises first and second opposite parallel faces each having a respective power receiving electrode, and at least one face which comprises a pair of power receiving electrodes. In this way, electrodes are present which can be used for receiving power from a top-bottom wireless power transmission module, and electrodes are also present which can be used for receiving power from a lateral wireless power transmission module. Diversity in the use of the module is provided by the positioning of specific faces of the module towards the transmission module.
