  • Publication number: 20240091539
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques for adjusting electrical stimulation based on sensed ECAP signals. For example, processing circuitry is configured to control delivery of a first train of electrical stimulation pulses at a first frequency to a first target tissue and control delivery of a second train of electrical stimulation pulses at a second frequency to a second target tissue different from the first target tissue. The processing circuitry can also receive an ECAP signal elicited by a pulse of the second train of electrical stimulation pulses, adjust, based on the ECAP signal, a first value of a parameter that at least partially defines the first tram of electrical stimulation pulses to a second value, and, responsive to adjusting the first value of the parameter to the second value, control delivery of subsequent pulses of the first tram of electrical stimulation pulses according to the second value of the parameter.

  • Patent number: 10228393
    Abstract: A multifunction testing and measuring device having a probe body with an elongated portion extending outward from a rearward main body portion to a hook-shaped forward end, the hook-shaped end useful for isolating a conductor under test, a slide closure member adapted to slide longitudinally forward from a rearward open position to a forward closed position, the closed position useful to capture the conductor under test within a space encircled by the combination of the hook-shaped end, the closed slide closure member, and the rearward main body, with the space encircled including a current sensing zone, and having test leads integral to and stowable on the main body. The multi tester comprises circuitry adapted for detecting a magnetic flux generated by an electric current passing through the conductor under test positioned within the current sensing zone, for sensing current and inrush current, as well as selectably measuring voltage, continuity, and resistance between the test leads.

  • Patent number: 9791479
    Abstract: A current measuring device having a probe body with an elongated portion extending outward from a rearward main body portion to a hook-shaped forward end, the hook-shaped end useful for isolating a conductor under test, a slide closure member adapted to slide longitudinally forward from a rearward open position to a forward closed position, the closed position useful to capture the conductor under test within a space encircled by the combination of the hook-shaped end, the closed slide closure member, and the rearward main body, with the space encircled including a current sensing zone, and circuitry adapted for detecting a magnetic flux generated by an electric current passing through the conductor under test positioned within the current sensing zone. A release button for moving the slide closure member serves as a switch to turn on the meter/tester/device when the jaw/slide closure member is opened.

  • Publication number: 20140300748
    Abstract: A handheld-sized infrared thermal imaging device (i.e. IR camera) having a focal plane array (FPA) or other type of infrared sensor array, internal memory for storing saved thermal images, a mini-USB or other communications port, battery power supply, and minimal user interface options such as on/off, IR image capture, and potentially a very basic display. The IR camera provides a highly portable field usable thermal image capture instrument which can later be connected to an external computing device such as a laptop computer, with the computer software providing thermal imaging functionality typical of higher end thermal imaging cameras. A visual image camera may be added whereby corresponding visible and IR images are captured and downloadable to the external computer for subsequent thermal analysis.

  • Publication number: 20130245965
    Abstract: A method of HVAC/R test and measurement using a plurality of test and measurement sensor heads, at least one power source and transmitter unit adapted to physically connect with any of the sensor heads and wirelessly transmit data to an external handheld-sized field use display and analysis instrument, including the steps of connecting the power source and transmitter unit a sensor head; performing a test and measurement by positioning the sensor head to sense and measure the desired parameter; transmitting data to the display and analysis instrument; and receiving the transmitted data on the display and analysis instrument. The display and analysis instrument may be connected to a sensor head, and preferably may receive wired or wirelessly transmitted test and measurement data from any number of communicably connected sensor heads. Wirelessly transmitted data may be received by another external display device such as a smartphone or similar computing device.

  • Publication number: 20130002452
    Abstract: A light-weight, portable, and wireless navigator for determining when a user who is visually-impaired and/or poorly-oriented can safely cross a street, with or without a traffic light, and know his/her exact location at any given time, and given correct and detailed guidance for translocation. The navigator includes a first microcomputer, a transmitter, a receiver, a second microcomputer, and an alerting device. The first microcomputer is disposed at the traffic light and determines light status of the traffic light. The transmitter is operatively connected to the first microcomputer, and generates a signal indicative of the light status of the traffic light. The receiver is hand-held/portable disposed with the user, and wirelessly receives the signal generated by the transmitter.

  • Publication number: 20120245878
    Abstract: A handheld HVAC/R test and measurement instrument having a display, a keypad, a microprocessor, memory, and circuitry adapted to receive inputs from a plurality of sensors and to automatically determine the type of each sensor and automatically determine and display which HVAC/R tests and measurements are available to be performed by the field service technician using only the plurality of sensors. Different kits of sensors are used for various tests and measurements routinely performed when servicing HVAC/R systems, and the handheld instrument automatically identifies the sensors connected to it and leads the technician through the tests and measurements that can be performed using those sensor inputs in combination with technical reference information and calculation algorithms stored in memory.
