Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring blood pressure of a user comprises a clip having a base with two side members adapted to releasably receive a portion of a body of the user therebetween with an adjustable pressure pad mounted to one of the two side members, spaced apart from the other of two side members by a separation distance, a magnetic field sensor mounted to one of the two side members with a magnet mounted to the other of the two side members opposite to the magnetic field sensor and spaced apart by the separation distance, a motor operably connected to the adjustable pressure pad wherein the separation distance is selectably adjustable by the motor.

The method comprises applying the clip to a portion of a body of the user, measuring an arterial pulsatile waveform of the user located within the clip with the magnetic field sensor; and intermittently applying pressure user an adjustable pressure pad.

Abstract: A method of signal processing of data using a computer by generating a symbolic map of the data using at least one wavelet transform, identifying target sequences in the symbolic map; and processing the data with reference to the target sequences to obtain waveform prognostic indicators

Abstract: Subcutaneous injection of gas into a body causes insufflation of a cavity, which is followed by infusion of a fluid into the cavity. The fluid preferably carries an active agent, for example a dissolved gas or solute. The method may include iontophoresis of the cavity to enhance diffusion of the active agent into target tissue. Additional steps may be employed to monitor needle tip location to avoid causing damage to an organ by coming into contact with the needle tip or by injecting a gas into a blood vessel.

Abstract: A series of feed-forward applications are designed to synchronize heart/respiration/muscle and brain to produce a better quality of life endpoint. The applications will be used to treat anxiety, sleep disorders, arrhythmias and enhanced performance during athletic training.

Abstract: A combined try square and protractor is structured to measure a right angle, to measure center of a pipe and to measure various angles therefrom.

Abstract: A protractor quadrant tool accessory is provided and consists of two arms attached pivotally together at one end, degree calibrations so that the angle between the arms is readily read and a locking device whereby the angle between the arms can be maintained fixed so that the protractor quadrant tool accessory can be used by a machinest and carpenter to measure angles on various articles. In a modification stud guides attached to outer parallel straight edges of the arms can stabilize the tool accessory when measuring the stairways stud angles and the like, used as an isometric center finder and making equal and opposite converse lines upon a stud. In still another modification an adjustable trimitre is slideably locked upon one arm so as to stabilize the tool accessory when measuring the stud angles and the like to be cut.
