  • Patent number: 9655549
    Abstract: A capacitive pressure sensor includes first and second of mutually displaceable elastic members each having a respective electrically conductive surface separated by a thin elastic dielectric. Variations in area of pressure-induced contact between the first and second members are used to vary capacitance of the sensor that allows determination of differential pressure between the two elastic members. Both of the elastic members have respective projections, the projections of the first elastic member being disposed in interlocking relationship with the projections of the second elastic member and configured so that as the elastic members are pressed toward each other their respective projections progressively engage and create increasing areas of contact.

  • Patent number: 9642557
    Abstract: A method is provided for analyzing respiration of a subject (20). Using a non-contact microphone (22), a raw signal indicative of air-flow sounds of the respiration is generated. The raw signal is analyzed to determine a first set of one or more parameters of the respiration. An algorithm is applied to the first set of one or more parameters of the respiration. An algorithm is applied to the first set of parameters to derive a second set of one or more estimated parameters of the respiration that are not generally directly measurable in the raw signal. Other embodiments are also described.

  • Patent number: 9314583
    Abstract: A system for sleep induction, detecting and tracking includes a monitor for analyzing single- and multiple-respiration patterns of a user and a stimulus generator for providing to the user multiple stimuli each bearing selectable relationships with selected temporal characteristics of the monitored respiration patterns. At least stimulus is operative to change one or more temporal characteristics of the respiration patterns by synchronization of respiration movements with specific aspects of the stimulus. A sync detector determines at least one measure of synchronization between at least one selected temporal characteristic of selected stimuli and a corresponding temporal characteristic of the respiration patterns for selected relationships between the stimuli and the temporal characteristics of the respiration patterns.

  • Publication number: 20110009718
    Abstract: A pulsewave detection unit is provided, at least a portion of the pulsewave detection unit being configured to be coupled to a portion of a subject's body, the pulsewave detection unit generating a signal that is responsive to arterial pressure of the portion of the subject's body. A pulsewave parameters determination unit receives respective first and second signals from the pulsewave detection unit, the signals being responsive to arterial pressure of the portion of the subject's body while the portion of the pulsewave detection unit that is coupled to the portion of the subject's body is at respective first and second heights, at respective times. An arterial parameters calculating unit determines an arterial property of the subject by processing the first and second signals, and generates an output in response to determining the arterial property. Other embodiments are also described.
