Abstract: An interactive system for obtaining data for diagnostic purposes from a server having access to stores of said data wherein the server supplies the data and software to a data requesting user that enables the user to receive the data progressively so as to decide during the receipt of the data what portions of the data are to be received thereby decreasing the time required to receive the data and that enables the user to load the software to process the supplied data.

Abstract: A method of controlling at least one device by incidental sound produced by a living creature and including: attaching a sound-maker to a living creature so that the natural movements of the living creature will cause the sound-maker to emit a sound; receiving the sound by at least one device; and responding by some physical response to the sound, by the at least one device.

Abstract: Electrical treatment apparatus (100) for use with an associated molecule source, comprising: at least one electrode (106); a power source (120) for electrifying said at least one electrode; and a controller, which is programmed to activate the power source (120) to selectively electrify said at least one electrode (106) to apply at least one electric field including a transport effect for transporting a molecule in a desired manner and a non-excitatory control effect for controlling the activity of at least a part of a non-cardiac excitable tissue, said programming selected to achieve a desired provision of said molecule into said at least a part of an excitable tissue or associated vasculature, said desired provision being at least assisted by an interaction between the transport effect and the control effect.

Abstract: A multi-element probe comprising: a probe body comprising: a plurality of probe elements, each having a surface suitable for making electrical contact with a tissue of a subject; and an interface, comprising a conductive material, covering the probe-element surfaces, suitable for providing an interface between the elements and the tissue.
