  • Publication number: 20240075417
    Abstract: A method for determining the degree of soiling of an air filter, in particular of an air filter in the interior space of motor vehicle, in which air to be purified is directed across at least one filter body in a predetermined direction of flow. An indirect pressure measurement takes place before and after the at least one filter body in the predefined direction of flow. An apparatus for determining the degree of soiling of an air filter is also provided, having at least one filter body as well as an airflow chamber connected upstream of the filter body and an airflow chamber connected downstream of the filter body. An indirect pressure measurement device is allocated to the airflow chamber connected upstream of the filter body and to the airflow chamber connected downstream of the filter body.

  • Patent number: 11510628
    Abstract: Artifacts due to delivery of an electrical signal (e.g., for neural stimulation or nerve block) can be eliminated from neural recordings. An activating stimulus (AS) can be applied by at least one neural electrode located at a first position within a body or a preparation proximal to a neural structure. The AS includes an electrical waveform configured to affect (e.g., stimulate or block) conduction in the neural structure. A counter stimulus (CS) can be applied by at least one electrode located at a second position within the body or the preparation remote from the neural structure. The CS includes an electrical waveform configured with a timing parameter and an amplitude parameter selected based on a feature of the AS. Artifacts due to the AS can be blocked by the CS during the neural recordings.

  • Patent number: 11446497
    Abstract: The occurrence of negative consequences (e.g., painful tetanic muscle contractions) associated with the onset response associated with kilohertz frequency alternating current (KHFAC) electrical nerve block can be reduced by fatiguing a muscle (through depletion of neurotransmitters at the neuromuscular junction, within a second) before applying KHFAC electrical nerve block to a nerve associated with the muscle. The nerve can first be stimulated with an electrical signal for a first time period to fatigue the muscle. Then, immediately following the first time period (while the muscle is fatigued), a blocking electrical signal (e.g., a kilohertz frequency alternating current waveform) can be applied to the nerve to create a localized nerve block.
