Real-Time Snoring Assessment Apparatus And Method
US Patent:
2006021, Sep 21, 2006
Filed:
Mar 4, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/073148
Inventors:
David Krausman - Bel Air MD, US
Roberta Allen - Arnold MD, US
Roberta Allen - Arnold MD, US
Assignee:
INDIVIDUAL MONITORING SYSTEMS.INC. - Baltimore MD
International Classification:
G06F 15/00, H03F 1/26
US Classification:
702189000
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for monitoring and assessing the occurrences of a person's snoring activity. Being small and portable, the apparatus is easily attached to a subject and detects and quantifies the subject's snoring behavior. It automatically provides an immediate display of the average number of snores per hour (i.e., a “snore index”) and an indication of the sound intensity of these snores, which are measures of the subject's snoring activity. In a preferred embodiment, this apparatus includes: (a) a sensor to capture the temporal variation of a subject's snoring activity, (b) an analog to digital converter to sample and digitize the captured data, (c) a microprocessor to process the digital data and control the apparatus' operation, (d) a memory device for data storage, (e) a display means, and (f) an embedded firmware program that controls the: (i) sampling and storage of the data, (ii) analysis of the data to compute the average number of snores per hour and their intensity, and (iii) the operation of the display means and the possible downloading of the data.
Fully Ambulatory, Self-Contained Gait Monitor
US Patent:
2008005, Mar 6, 2008
Filed:
Aug 31, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/897722

Assignee:
INDIVIDUAL MONITORING SYSTEMS, INC - Baltimore MD
International Classification:
A61B 5/00
US Classification:
738654
Abstract:
A gait monitoring device for recording and assessing, with the use of a personal computer, the gait characteristics of one wearing the device, includes: (a) a transducer array for sensing the temporal variation in the vertical acceleration and angular velocity of the motion of the shank of a wearer, (b) an analog to digital converter for sampling the data sensed by the transducer array, (c) a microprocessor having embedded programmable memory, (d) a sampled data storage means, (e) firmware for controlling the operation of the microprocessor to sample the output of the transducer array at a prescribed time interval and to temporarily store the sampled data, (f) a USB interface that allows for the downloading of the stored data to the personal computer, and (g) software for controlling a personal computer in the analysis of the collected data.
