Abstract: An expandable electrode set, methods of using the expanding electrode set, electrode set systems, and methods of manufacturing an electrode set. Various examples of an electrode set include nodes that are physically connected to each other by connectors that have a shape that allows for the deformation of the electrode set. The shape and material of the connectors is designed to provide a consistent deformation so that, when placing alignment markers on a part of a body to be monitored, the nodes end up in correct locations on the part of the body for the measurement being performed. The electrode set may include sensors, emitters, or sensors and emitters in various configurations.

Abstract: This invention relates to a device for humidifying a textile electrode (1) comprising a first layer (3); a second layer (5); and a material capable of absorbing and retaining water (4); wherein the material capable of absorbing and retaining water (4) is located between the first layer (3) and the second layer (5); the first layer (3) is impermeable to liquid water and water vapour; and the second layer (5) is permeable to liquid water in a direction extending inwards towards the material capable of absorbing and retaining water, and is impermeable to liquid water and permeable to water vapour in the opposite direction thereto. This invention further relates to a system comprising such a humidification device.

Abstract: A hard disk assembly comprises a hub made of injection molded liquid crystal plastic, to which is mounted a magnetic disk by a twist-lock screw top. The expensive step of machining the critical hub component is avoided because sufficient accuracies can be achieved with the liquid crystal plastic when injection molded.

Abstract: A memory system comprises an array of parallel removable hard disk cartridges and matching drives. Each cartridge is recorded with an array position signature so that an array can be programmatically reconstructed each time the cartridges are loaded in their drives without regard to the original physical associations of cartridges to drives.
