Abstract: A monitoring non-invasive device for handling of sleep apnea, snoring and emergency situations operates for breathing assistance by means of transdermal stimulation of muscle groups including the pectoralis majoris, the serratus anterior, and the abdominal muscles. A wrist mounted version may alarm drivers or others requiring focus or concentration when they fall asleep and may alert a medical center. The invention may have a pulse oximeter on a person's wrist/finger to monitor their breathing while asleep, and in the event of a serious snoring or sleep apnea episode, activate the breathing assistance pulses.

Abstract: A device operates for secretion clearance and cough assistance by means of transdermal stimulation of muscle groups including the pectoralis majoris, the serratus anterior, and the abdominal muscles. The various muscle groups may be stimulated in different ways: not just different pulse trains but in addition, different stimulations to accomplish different phases of clearance or cough assistance. In a first phase a vibration action provided by the muscles (for example the pectoralis and serratus) is used to encourage the motion of mucus and other secretions within airways. In a second phase, the abdominal muscles for example might be stimulated differently so as to cause not a vibration but instead a coughing action, especially to detect and assist a natural cough. The invention further teaches a zone stimulator large enough to span and stimulate major muscles or groups of large muscles effectively.

Abstract: A hardware device having software installed in a personal computer converting analog voice information to digital voice and connecting a cordless telephone or regular telephone to a personal computer routed through the Internet via Internet Protocol addressing. Calls may be placed via the linked Internet chat cord invention using a cordless telephone or a regular phone and through a personal computer connected to the Internet. Calls may be received via the Internet to a personal computer and then to a cordless or regular phone via Voice over Internet Protocol using the Internet chat cord. Telephone conversations may also be placed to more than one personal computer and/or PSTN telephone at the same time providing conferencing.

Abstract: The present invention teaches that a telephone may be used as an audio/voice output/input device for a personal computer by means of the RJ11 jack of a full duplex voice modem, by means of the application program of the present invention. Such a telephone may be utilized to initiate, receive and carry out VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) communications. Such telephone of the invention need not be connected to a conventional wired telephone network (PSTN), and such computer of the invention may operate to provide the VoIP connection in response to DTMF codes received from the telephone, without the necessity of requiring the caller or receiver to interface directly with the computer. The present invention may also be utilized to provide voice/audio input/output to the computer by means of the telephone for purposes other than VoIP.

Abstract: An artificial respirator employs rotating chambers to modulate pressure from a unidirectional fluid source. The chambers are defined by a core rotating in a shell. The core includes an internal divider and a back wall. The core also includes a shaft coupled to a motor. The motor is mounted on the shell via screws.
