Abstract: A silver-silver chloride skin electrode is prepared by coating a composition containing silver grain, silver chloride grain and glass frit on a substrate made of a spinel type crystalline oxide such as ferrite and sintering the coated layer. The electrode is durable to an electroconductive paste.

Abstract: In a skin electrode for connecting monitoring equipment to the surface of the skin which is separable into two assemblies: a base assembly adapted to be mounted to the surface of the skin and having a sensing element, and; a terminal assembly adapted to be releasably coupled with the base assembly and having a lead for connection to the monitoring equipment, an improvement wherein the terminal assembly is provided with a magnet while the base assembly is provided with a ferromagnetic element, whereby the releasable coupling and electrical connection of the assemblies may be ensured by the action of the magnet.

Abstract: An improved electrode for living body is proposed which is excellent in the stability and reliability in detecting and transmitting the electric signals generated in a living body by the physiological electric phenomena such as electrocardiographic, electromyographic and electroencephalographic signals.The electrode of the invention is characterized by the material which is mainly a titanium hydride or a mixture of a titanium hydride with silver chloride optionally combined with a metal salt with basicity and a carbon powder, e.g. graphite.
