Abstract: The embodiments include an apparatus used in combination with a computer for sensing biopotentials. The apparatus includes a catheter in which there is a plurality of sensing electrodes, a corresponding plurality of local amplifiers, each coupled to one of the plurality of sensing electrodes, a data, control and power circuit coupled to the plurality of local amplifiers, and a photonic device bidirectionally communicating an electrical signal with the data, control and power circuit. An optical fiber optically communicated with the photonic device. The photonic device bidirectionally communicates an optical signal with the optical fiber. An optical interface device provides optical power to the optical fiber and thence to the photonic device and receives optical signals through the optical fiber from the photonic device. The optical interface device bidirectionally communicates an electrical data, control and power signal to the computer.

Abstract: A single electron transistor conjugated to a bacteriophage form a detectable probe where an RF signal identify the location of such probe at the site of specific biological matrix and provide a unique electronic signal such as a Coulomb Staircase and where such signal act as a diagnostic beacon and where such probe and a detector form a mesoscopic detector. The detector uses: a bioprobe containing the phage with its conjugated SET and the properties of the phage specificity; phage mobility within the biological environment and the phage ability to act as a carrier for the SET; and the SET's ultimate use as a beacon for the detection.
Abstract: A tape 400 or wrap is provided which includes first and second elongated elastic layers 345, 346 sized to conform to the shape of a portion of the external skin of the body of a wearer; and a heated area comprising an exothermic material 310 sandwiched between said first and second elastic layers 345, 346, wherein said exothermic material 310 is activated by exposing said exothermic material 310 to oxygen; wherein said tape 400 or wrap has a elasticity of at least about 10-90% and said heated area is capable of substantially expanding and contracting with the tape or wrap. Methods of using the tape 400 or wrap are also provided.
Abstract: The subject pad comprises resilient layers attached to each other and spaced apart by compression members distributed with spaces between them. The compression members on one side of each layer are opposite the spaces between the compression members on the other side so that the layer portions between compression members of one layer function as beams loaded near or at their centers by compression members on the adjacent layers. The pad may be an integral part or the layers may be separate, in which case the compression members comprise mating projections from the surfaces of adjacent layers. The compression members may be ridges or columns. The projections may be shaped to mechanically interlock when mated, utilizing the resilence of the material and/or adhesive may be used to secure the attachment. In a prefered embodiment a percentage of the projections are shaped to mechanically interlock when mated, the remaining projections being simple ribs or stubs.
