  • Publication number: 20180008164
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9402596
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20030159857
    Abstract: An electronic scale includes a weighing unit coupled to a processing unit. A data memory device is coupled to the processing unit and stores a list of diseases and associated constraints of food consumption. The user may establish personal constitution feature data in the memory and associates the personal constitution feature data with one or more diseases in the disease list. The memory also stores nutrition/calorie data of a number of different categories of foods as a food list. When a particular food is being weighed, the user may select the category of the food in the food list and the processing unit performs calculation of the nutrition/calorie of the particular food. A warning is issued if the user's personal constitution feature data indicates that such an amount of nutrition/calorie is not acceptable to the user for health purposes. Electrodes are coupled to the processing unit for measuring and calculating body fat of the user.
