Patent number: 9808590Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for carrying out a signal-processing viewing of a measurement signal that is correlated with the respiratory activity of an individual, for example, of a measurement signal that is correlated with the respiratory gas. The aim of the invention is to provide solutions with which an improved electronic analysis of the signals that are representative with regard to respiratory activity can be achieved. To this end, the invention provides that viewing results are obtained within the scope of a signal-processing viewing of said measurement signal and make a differentiation between obstructive and central respiratory disorders possible. The viewing results are determined, in particular, while taking into account changes of selected breathing characteristics such as, for example, the change in the ratio of inhalation time to exhalation time.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2014Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: RESMED R&D GERMANY GMBHInventors: Stefan Rolf Madaus, Jorg Meier, Dieter Heidmann, Hartmut Schneider

Patent number: 8945863Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for measuring the activity of enzymes in a sample which contains at least one enzyme and at least one enzyme inhibitor corresponding to said enzyme, whereby after de-inhibition the activity of the released enzyme is measured in such a way that a substrate is added to the sample and the time course of the concentration of at least one reaction product (cleavage product) is recorded and the enzyme specific substrate has a fluorogenic part which is cleaved in the enzymatic reaction and the fluorescence (measuring parameter) of which can be detected in a wavelength range where the measuring parameter can be assigned unambiguously to the enzyme activity to be measured, whereby the de-inhibition is carried out by immersing a rigid carrier, to which the inhibitor binding substance is bound, into the sample. The present invention relates also to a corresponding device for measuring the activity on enzymes in a sample.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2010Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Papst Licensing GmbH & Co.
