Abstract: A medical device is provided for applying compressive pressures against a patient's foot. The device comprises first and second panels of flexible material secured to one another to form an inflatable bag to be fitted upon the foot. The bag has first and second separate fluid bladders. The first fluid bladder is adapted to engage a first portion of the foot and the second fluid bladder is adapted to engage a second portion of the foot. A boot is provided for holding the inflatable bag to the foot. A fluid supply is provided for applying pressurized fluid to the first and second fluid bladders such that the first fluid bladder applies a first compressive pressure upon the first portion of the foot and the second fluid bladder applies a second compressive pressure upon the second portion of the foot.

Abstract: An identification and verification system which includes a card, or the like, having stored thereon human facial image projection characters, means for retrieving the human facial image projection characters and manipulating the same to produce an output signal indicative of a human facial feature for use in identification and verification. The retrieving means includes universal face space (UFS) memory indicative of facial features for a non-homogeneous population wherein the output signal is generated by projecting the projection characters into the UFS memory.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for detecting and monitoring physiological conditions in mammalian tissue, and method for using the same. The device includes sensors for sensing physiological conditions and generating signals in response thereto and processor operatively associated with the sensors for receiving and manipulating the signals to produce a generalization indicative of normal and abnormal physiological condition of mammalian tissue. The processor is characterized to include a neural network having a predetermined solution spaced memory, the solution space memory including regions indicative of two (2) or more physiological conditions, wherein the generalization is characterized by the signals projected into the regions.
