  • Publication number: 20070117070
    Abstract: The invention concerns a vocational aptitude testing method and device for detecting the aptitudes and interests of subjects having various cognitive abilities to a range of activities, that makes it possible to select at least one task among a library of tasks, provide instructions regarding the at least one task to the subject, provide at least one stimulus of the at least one task to the subject, detect at least one action by the subject in response to the at least one stimulus, and perform at least one of collecting, processing, presenting, transmitting, and displaying data obtained from the test subject's response.

  • Patent number: 6896656
    Abstract: An apparatus for performing neuropsychological tests on a patient includes a microprocessing unit adapted for carrying out test procedures which is connected to an interface to a sensory signal generating device comprising at least one of a visual information display, an indication light, and a sound generator, an interface to a reaction detecting device comprising at least one of a dynamometer, a knob, and a touch screen, and an interface to a memory for reading test procedures stored in the memory. At least one test procedure comprising instructions for the generation of sensory signals and the detection of a patient reaction is stored in the memory and is performed by generating the sensory signals on the sensory generating device and by detecting a patient's reaction through the reaction detecting device.

  • Patent number: 4539559
    Abstract: A portable device for detecting when undergarments are wet with urine comprises electronic disposable sensor means in contact with said undergarment, an electronic detector means activated by said sensor means, and an alarm means activated by the detector means, all chosen and constructed such that there is no energization of any part of the system until a wet condition is detected and such that there is no possibility of more than 9 volts of electric potential in contact with the human body, with the current generated by said potential not to exceed 10 microamperes.

  • Patent number: 4022975
    Abstract: An apparatus is described which, in addition to testing each ear of a human subject separately for extent of hearing and frequency detection, also permits the delivery, preferably by electronic means for pre-set arrangement, of a series of intermittent long and short signals in different combinations, by means of which the subject can be tested for auditory memory and hearing side dominance.
