摘要： A sensor for sensing in a gas stream a vapor of a liquid. The sensor includes a micropore and a wet temperature sensor. The micropore has an evaporation end and has a lumen to conduct liquid from a supply of the liquid for evaporation at the evaporation end. The wet temperature sensor has a heat sensitive part in contact with the liquid in the micropore. The heat sensitive part circumscribes the micropore and forms part of the lumen. Heat loss due to evaporation of the liquid when the wet temperature sensor wet with the liquid is placed in the gas stream will result in the temperature sensed by the wet temperature sensor being lower than the non-evaporative temperature of the gas stream. This lowering in temperature can be measured to determine the concentration of the vapor in the gas stream. An example of such a sensor has a thermocouple junction having micropores passing through the thermocouple junction.

摘要： A system and a method for remote monitoring of a designated user utilize an integrated scale that is able to measure the body weight of a current user and determine whether the current user is the designated user. The identification of the current user is accomplished by measuring a preselected length of the current user by reflecting sound waves at location(s) that defines the preselected length and comparing the measured length to a corresponding length of the designated user that is stored in the integrated scale. When the current user is identified as the designated user, the integrated scale transmits the measured body weight to a remote monitoring device. The preselected length may be the distance from the bottom of a foot to the knee joint. Alternatively, the preselected length may be the length of a tibia or femur, or the skeletal height. The integrated scale may include devices to measure the heart rate and the respiratory rate of the current user by transmitting sounds waves and recording reflected sound waves from the chest cavity and the heart chambers.

摘要： Pulses of ultrasound are focused in the patient's body to create an interrogation volume where a characteristic of blood flow is to be measured. The bandwidth of the back-scattered Doppler return signal is measured. In order to measure flow velocity independent of direction, the interrogation volume is generated substantially as a sphere in which the range dimension is set equal to the lateral dimensions (azimuth and elevation) of the interrogation signal. The Doppler bandwidth is then scaled to provide a direction-independent measurement of flow velocity. In order to determine the direction of flow, the interrogation volume is generated substantially as an ellipsoid. The long axis of the ellipsoidal interrogation volume is then rotated until the measured Doppler bandwidth is at a minimum, which is reached when the long axis is aligned with the flow direction. The interrogation volume is preferably rotated and translated using differential phasing of the ultrasonic signals from different transducer elements in a two-dimensional array.

摘要： Disclosed herein are devices for altering gaseous flow within a lung to improve the expiration cycle of an individual, particularly individuals having Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). More particularly, devices are disclosed to produce collateral openings or channels through the airway wall so that expired air is able to pass directly out of the lung tissue to facilitate both the exchange of oxygen ultimately into the blood and/or to decompress hyper-inflated lungs.

摘要： A motion detection scheme is described which periodically sends a plurality of pulsed ultrasonic signals from a transducer to a particular range cell to receive a series of backscattered signals from the particular range cell. The time interval between any two pulses is greater than a largest dimension of the range cell divided by a slowest velocity of motion at the particular range cell. A temporal variation between the envelopes of the signals is then determined to detect motion at the particular range cell. This scheme may be applied at all points in an image, to produce images that depict regions undergoing motion.

摘要： A method and system for monitoring performance of a heart includes forming a time series of frames of echocardiographic data. The time series may be for a systolic interval, but longer intervals are also possible. The frames of the time series have sets of corresponding data points with respect to specific sites of a patient's heart. For each set of corresponding data points, a time domain signal as a function of a selected scalar is determined, thereby yielding a time domain signal which varies with frame-to-frame variations of the selected scalar. The scalar has a physiological significance to the contractile state or the motion of the myocardium. Mean squared speed, root mean squared speed, mean squared rate of signal change, integrated backscatter, correlation area, and echocardiographic signal data magnitude are suitable scalars. For each time domain signal, a phase angle is obtained to assign a pixel value to an image data point. The pixel values are utilized to generate either a gray-scale two-dimensional image or a time series of cardiac performance.
