Abstract: Examples of the disclosure are directed to adjustable back plates or backboards for a mechanical compression device to accommodate different patient sizes and/or for ease of storage. Examples of the disclosure includes back plates that can be folded, pieced together, or otherwise have a variable distance between connectors that attach to legs of a chest compression device. Examples also include back plates which may have two sides, such as an adult patient side and a pediatric patient side, to accommodate different patient sizes.

Abstract: A medical device for measuring an impedance of a patient or mammal when a current is applied by electrodes. The medical device includes an output transmits a drive signal to a set of drive electrodes coupled to a patient and an input receives a sense signal generated by a set of sensing electrodes coupled to the patient. A processor determines the impedance of the patient based on the drive signal transmitted to the set of drive electrodes and the sense signal received by the set of sensing electrodes.

Abstract: Technologies and implementations for a multifunctional healthcare monitoring apparatus are generally disclosed.

Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) implemented by a computer system is disclosed. The GUI includes a search term entry area operable to allow a user to enter text as a search term. The GU includes a hierarchical tree area operable to display data elements in a multi-level hierarchical tree structure, wherein the data elements are representative of searchable data in a database. The GUI includes a search result area operable to display a result of a search query. The GUI includes a search criteria tree area operable to allow a user to enter a new search query of the searchable data in response to the user's selection of one or more of the search term from the search term entry area, data elements from the hierarchical tree area, and result from the search result area, wherein the search term entry area, hierarchical tree area, search results area, and search criteria tree area are displayed together in a single window on the GUI.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to monitor a process of depositing a constituent of a multi-constituent gas are disclosed. The methods and apparatus may be used in a process for producing a carbon-carbon composite brake disc.

Abstract: The present invention is an inductance plethysmograph transducer particularly suited for use in respiratory monitoring. The transducer is in the form of a woven fabric providing a substantially flat extensible belt for encircling a portion of a patient for a wide range of patient sizes. The transducer is used for monitoring changes in cross-sectional area corresponding to changes in volume of an expandable organ such as the patient's chest or abdomen. At least one electrical conductor is woven directly into the fabric in a manner that improves the electrical performance of the transducer over the prior art in two ways. First, a high-density weave is used for the fabric that produces many more inductive turns of the embedded conductor(s), thereby increasing the overall inductance change, hence improving the signal to noise ratio, and increasing the expandability of the effective length of the transducer.
