  • Electronic pain feedback system and method
    Patent number: 5873900
    Abstract: An electronic pain feedback system for use by a patient in determining the effectiveness of a pain treatment. The system includes an input device connected to a memory device. The input device includes a scale on which the patient enters perceived pain level data to initiate the pain treatment. The input device signals this data to the memory device where it is recorded. The electronic pain feedback system can alternatively include a clock and intensity sensor for recording a treatment session duration and intensity. The data received and recorded can be used by the electronic pain feedback system to evaluate the effectiveness of the pain treatment.

  • Digital registers with serial accessed mode control bit
    Patent number: 4847839
    Abstract: A reconfigurable digital register that can be serially loaded has an additional bit associated with the register which holds information indicative of a mode of operation of the register. The mode control bit is located such that it can be serially loaded along with the other bits. A particularly useful embodiment is to use the mode control bit to configure the register as either a test pattern generator or a signature analysis register in support of integrated circuit self-test functions.
