  • Publication number: 20240090789
    Abstract: Apparatus for performing impedance measurements on a subject. The apparatus includes a first processing system for determining an impedance measurement procedure and determining instructions corresponding to the measurement procedure. A second processing system is provided for receiving the instructions, using the instructions to generate control signals, with the control signals being used to apply one or more signals to the subject. The second processing system then receives first data indicative of the one or more signals applied to the subject, second data indicative of one or more signals measured across the subject and performs at least preliminary processing of the first and second data to thereby allow impedance values to be determined.

  • Publication number: 20160336109
    Abstract: A transformer assembly (2) includes a base (4) comprising a CNC machine milled aluminum plate that is designed for liquid cooling. Three magnetic flux conductive cores (30a, 30b, 30c) are mounted to the core and are interlinked by three winding assemblies (6a, 6b and 6c). The winding assemblies each include a plurality of heat conductive members (10). The heat conductive members (10) extend from the base through the winding assemblies and conduct operative heat from the winding assemblies to the base for dissipation from the base during use. The heat conductive members each comprise a copper tube sealed at either end with a fluid within. In use a convection current forms in the fluid that causes the fluid to circulate from one end of the tube to the other thereby transmitting heat along the conductive member to thereby transmit heat from the coils to the liquid cooled base in use.
