Patent number: 10828785Abstract: The invention relates to a measurement device (120), for example for testing, comprising a micromechanical positioning actuator (130) for causing movement of a sensor (150) with respect to a target (110), a positioning controller (145), the positioning controller (145) having an output coupled to the actuator (130) for controlling the movement, and the having an input coupled to the sensor (150) for receiving a sensor signal from the sensor (150) to the positioning controller (145), and the positioning controller (145) arranged to control the movement based on the sensor signal. The measurement device (120) may have memory for storing positioning control instructions (300). The positioning controller (145) may be arranged to control said movement based on said sensor signal and said positioning control instructions (300).Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2015Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: Sensapex OyInventor: Mikko Vähäsöyrinki

Patent number: 10357170Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for determining the state of a muscle between a normal non-tired state, a tired state and a passive involuntary tension state. A signal from the muscle is recorded at rest by using an electrode arrangement, where an earth body may prevent the electrodes from picking up signals beyond the extent of the earth body. The frequency content of the signal is determined by spectral analysis, e.g. by computing a moment of the spectrum. A normal frequency content indicates a non-tired muscle state, whereas a low and a high frequency content indicate a tired and a passive involuntary tension muscle state.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2011Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: FIBRUX OYInventors: Mika Herrala, Pasi Tavi, Jani Mäntyjärvi, Mikko Vähäsöyrinki

Patent number: 9844697Abstract: In order to determine the state of a muscle between a normal non-tired state, a tired state and a passive involuntary tension state, a signal from the muscle is recorded at rest by using an electrode arrangement, where an earth body may prevent the electrodes from picking up signals beyond the extent of the earth body. The frequency content of the signal is determined by spectral analysis, e.g. by computing a moment of the spectrum. A normal frequency content indicates a non-tired muscle state, whereas a low and a high frequency content indicate a tired and a passive involuntary tension muscle state. A mapping is used to improve accuracy of state determination, e.g. with a reference database.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2013Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: FIBRUX OYInventors: Mika Herrala, Pasi Tavi, Jani Mantyjarvi, Mikko Vahasoyrinki
