Publication number: 20180008164Abstract: A non-invasive method and system for assessing the survival of a transplanted flap involve the following steps. A control unit instructs a variable-frequency current generator circuit to generate a constant current at a fixed frequency and pass the constant current through a detection electrode. The detection electrode detects a bioelectrical impedance of the skin to which the flap has been transplanted, and the bioelectrical impedance of the skin is compared with a pre-defined threshold value. If the bioelectrical impedance of the skin exceeds the pre-defined threshold value, it is determined that an abnormal condition has occurred.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2016Publication date: January 11, 2018Inventors: JHI-JOUNG WANG, BOR-SHYH LIN, CHUN-CHIA CHEN

Patent number: 9402596Abstract: A bowel sound analysis method and system utilizes an audio collection apparatus to continuously monitor an abdominal cavity of an examinee and collect a bowel sound signal of an intestinal tract inside the abdominal cavity, converts the bowel sound signal into a digital signal, then removes noise from the digital signal by using higher-order statistics (HOS) and captures a high-complexity feature from the digital signal by using fractal dimension algorithm, and subsequently defines the high-complexity feature as an intestinal motility signal. Therefore, according to the intestinal motility signal, a time point when intestinal motility occurs in the intestinal tract inside the abdominal cavity of the examinee can be learned, and bowel sound features such as the amplitude, frequency, and period of the intestinal motility signal may further be analyzed to determine a health condition of the intestinal tract.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2015Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Chimei Medical CenterInventors: Ming-Jen Sheu, Jen-Yin Chen, Jhi-Joung Wang, Bor-Shyh Lin
