  • NERVE STIMULATION THERAPY FOR MAINTAINING TELOMERE LENGTHS
    Publication number: 20220323745
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided for delivering electrical impulses to the vagus nerve to inhibit the reduction of telomere lengths in cellular DNA, thereby potentially increasing an individual's longevity and/or healthspan. A method comprises positioning a contact surface of a device in contact with an outer skin surface of a patient. An electrical impulse is applied transcutaneously from the device through the outer skin surface of the patient to a vagus nerve in the patient according to a stimulation protocol. The stimulation protocol includes at least two doses administered each day for a plurality of day. The doses each have a duration of about 60 seconds to about 5 minutes, preferably about 90 seconds to 3 minutes. The electrical impulse and the stimulation protocol are sufficient to modulate the vagus nerve such that such that the rate of telomere shortening in the patient's cellular DNA is reduced.

  • Remote control test apparatus
    Publication number: 20020074958
    Abstract: A detector assembly for a remotely controlled test system for testing the ready status of a fluorescent type emergency lighting fixture providing a 30 second or a 90 minute test of the battery operated fluorescent lamp upon command. The transmitted control signal is an infrared beam containing a selected pulse-time code which the receiving circuit can reliably receive, recognize and process in an environment of high infrared noise typically produced by fluorescent lighting. Upon recognition and verification of the selected pulse-time code, the microcontroller disenables the charging circuit to the battery for supplying power to the fluorescent lamp in the emergency mode to cause the emergency circuit to sense an AC power failure whereby the lamp illuminates in the emergency mode for the selected test period.
