  • Process for determining respiratory phases of the sleep of a user
    Patent number: 6409676
    Abstract: A process for determining respiratory phases of the sleep of a user (3), comprising measuring at least two physical variables of which at least a first physical variable is representative of the nasal flow of the user (3) and of which at least a second physical variable is representative of the user's buccal flow. The process furthermore comprises processing and converting each physical variable with a view to establishing its degree of membership in at least one state of a fuzzy variable, and applying pre-established rules between at least one state of a first fuzzy variable and a state of a second fuzzy variable so as to evaluate the degree of membership in a respiratory phase state of the sleep of the user (3) according to fuzzy logic.
    Type: Grant

  • Device for determining respiratory phases of the sleep of a user
    Patent number: 6190328
    Abstract: A device (1) for determining respiratory phases of the sleep of a user (3), comprising means (5) for measuring at least two physical variables of which at least a first physical variable is representative of the nasal flow of the user (3) and of which at least a second physical variable is representative of the user's buccal flow. The device furthermore comprises a unit (21) for processing and converting each physical variable with a view to establishing its degree of membership in at least one state of a fuzzy variable, and a unit (23) for applying pre-established rules between at least one state of a first fuzzy variable and a state of a second fuzzy variable so as to evaluate the degree of membership in a respiratory phase state of the sleep of the user (3) according to fuzzy logic.
