Abstract: In combination with a conventional sphygmomanometer, a solenoid, an air release valve connected to the solenoid for the release of air from the cuff bladder of the sphygmomanometer, a pressure transducer for determining air pressure in the cuff bladder and generating a pressure data signal, a data processing unit for monitoring and recording pressure signal readings and controlling the solenoid, and a signaling unit used to designate when to record a pressure signal are provided.
Abstract: An apparatus and method for electronic measurement of urine volumes. The invention provides a device for establishing streams of uniform flow from a urine void by a user. The urine streams are passed by electrodes whereby resistivity changes in a current path between the electrodes indicates beginning and cessation of urine flow. Timing of the duration of the streams provides a measurement of urine volume per void.
