Abstract: A hemofilter system. In one embodiment, the hemofilter system includes a container having a first surface, a second surface, and one or more wall surfaces, the first surface, the second surface and the one or more wall surfaces defining a volume; an input port in fluid communication with the first surface; an output port in fluid communication with the second surface; a filter bed comprising a plurality of planar magnetic meshes stacked in close juxtaposition and positioned within the container volume and coplanar with the first and second surfaces; a first magnet positioned on a first surface of the container; a second magnet positioned on the second surface of the container; a first input conduit in fluid communication with the input port; and a first output conduit in fluid communication with the output port. In another embodiment, the hemofilter system includes a pump in the input conduit.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method to monitor the balance performance of a user comprises two separate but similar foot-plates each slightly larger than the foot of a user. Each foot-plate includes detectors to detect the load imparted to the foot-plate by a user, about two axes generally at right angles with one axis lying more or less along the length of the user's foot and the other axis transverse thereto. The outputs from the foot-plates are fed to a processing unit which drives a display device, graphically to show to the user on a real-time basis the detected loads and so to allow a user to modify his balance performance.
