  • Publication number: 20070270678
    Abstract: A wireless biopotential monitoring system composed of a wireless electrode module which can be attached to a disposable electrode strip. Such device can be conveniently affixed to a patient's skin and will transmit the physiological signals to a remote receiver where the signals can be monitored by a clinician.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20050280531
    Abstract: A wireless biopotential monitoring system composed of a wireless electrode module which can be attached to a disposable electrode strip. Such a device can be conveniently affixed to a patient's skin and will transmit the physiological signals to a remote receiver where the signals can be monitored by a clinician. The device is powered by a fuel-air battery. The device would remain packaged in an airtight package until it needs to be applied at which time either the wounded soldier would apply the device himself/herself or it would be applied by another soldier or corpsman. The device would begin to measure brainwave activity, heart rate, and dissolved oxygen level. The device would also identify the wounded soldier's location using the onboard GPS receiver. The physiologic data along with the soldier's position would then be transmitted to a remote receiver.

  • Publication number: 20050215916
    Abstract: A biopotential measurement system incorporates a revolutionary approach to the acquisition of signals such as Electroencephalograms (EEG), Electrocardiograms (ECG), and Electromyograms (EMG) by incorporating active, digital electrodes that amplify and digitally convert biopotential signals at the source, thereby eliminating noise and signal degradation issues. This is to date the most integrated and advanced electrode designed for any biopotential measurement eliminating the poor Signal-to-Noise (SNR) problems seen in biopotential recordings.

  • Publication number: 20050065414
    Abstract: A monitoring device for a laboratory animal may include an inductive power receiver, a sensor, and a data transmitter. The inductive power receiver may be configured to generate electrical power responsive to an electromagnetic field, and the sensor may be configured to generate an electrical signal responsive to an aspect of the laboratory animal being monitored. The data transmitter may be configured to wirelessly transmit data responsive to the electrical signal generated by the sensor and responsive to the electrical power generated by the inductive power receiver.
