Abstract: Presented is a method and apparatus for recording or "writing" an analog signal onto commercially available video recording tape through use of a conventional unmodified video tape recording device utilizing the standard video composite wave form conventionally used in conjunction with the recordation of video signals.

Abstract: An induction powered implanted monitor for epidurally measuring intracranial pressure and telemetering the pressure information to a remote readout. The monitor utilizes an L-C oscillator in which the C comprises a variable capacitance transducer, one electrode of which is a small stiff pressure responsive diaphragm. The oscillator is isolated from a transmitting tank circuit by a buffer circuit and all electric components in the implanted unit except an input and an output coil are shielded by a metal housing.

Abstract: A miniature, ingestible and encapsulated telemeter device for transmitting information relating to deep-body temperature of a subject comprising a battery source of power, and a free running multivibrator circuit having fixed biasing means connected to oscillator having a predetermind resonant frequency. A thermistor having a negative temperature coefficient of resistance is connected to the battery and the fixed biasing means and is operative to vary the output frequency of the multivibrator circuit in proportion to the temperature of the thermistor, the oscillator being pulsed into alernate states of conduction and non-conduction at the output frequency of the multivibrator to produce an output consisting of bursts of energy at the predetermined resonant frequency, preferably in the range 88 - 108 MHz.
