| 600303000 | Olfactometer | 10 |
| 20120184828 | MRI COMPATIBLE AND AIR-ACTUATED OLFACTOMETER - An olfactometer is disclosed. Such an olfactometer may include a control unit, an odor box, and a nose piece in communication with the odor box. The control unit may include a reservoir, and a compressor for supplying pressurized air to the reservoir. The odor box may include at least one compressed air actuated valve, and at least one odor canister in communication with the valve. A compressed air flow and a breathable air flow are both released from the reservoir and directed to the valve. The compressed air flow actuates the valve to thereby direct the breathable air to the odor canister to odorize the breathable air. The odorized breathable air is then directed to the nose piece. | 07-19-2012 |
| 20140371551 | High-Throughput Operant Sensory Discrimination Apparatus and Method - Described herein are various apparatus and systems useful in sensory discrimination. Through the use of a multi-well sample plate, the high-throughput analysis apparatus and method allow for rapid sensory discrimination of a large number of samples. | 12-18-2014 |
| 20150080683 | PORTABLE DIAGNOSTIC INSTRUMENT AND A METHOD FOR ITS USE - A portable diagnostic instrument for use by medical professionals. The portable diagnostic instrument can comprise a control unit that can constantly maintain the frequency of sound or vibration produced by the device, even when battery power is reduced. The control unit can also comprise a warning unit to provide information about remaining battery life to the user. Furthermore, the portable diagnostic instrument can comprise a unit capable of producing vibration, a unit capable of producing sound at differing frequencies, and a unit capable of producing temperatures at differing temperatures. The device can produce both the sound, vibration, and temperature at the same time or each can be operated individually. Moreover, the device is capable of being attached to other medical equipment that is carried by a medical professional or can be easily kept in a pocket, so that it is readily available when needed. | 03-19-2015 |
| 20150112161 | DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING A BILATERAL DIFFERENTIAL IN OLFACTORY THRESHOLD FOR PURE ODORANTS - The present system is directed in various embodiments to devices, systems and methods for detection, evaluation and/or monitoring olfactory dysfunction by measuring and determining the patient's olfactory detection threshold for the left and the right nostril. More specifically, the present invention relates to devices, systems and methods for detecting an asymmetric differential in a patient's olfactory detection threshold (left vs right nostril) which, when present, may be used as a device to detect, diagnose and/or monitor olfactory deterioration resulting from certain neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. | 04-23-2015 |
| 20160015309 | DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING A BILATERAL DIFFERENTIAL IN OLFACTORY DETECTION THRESHOLD FOR PURE ODORANTS - The present system is directed in various embodiments to devices, systems and methods for detection, evaluation and/or monitoring olfactory dysfunction by measuring and determining the patient's olfactory detection threshold for the left and the right nostril. More specifically, the present invention relates to devices, systems and methods for detecting an asymmetric differential in a patient's olfactory detection threshold (left vs right nostril) which, when present, may be used as a tool to screen, detect, diagnose and/or monitor relative olfactory deterioration resulting from Alzheimer's disease. A preferred embodiment comprises cascading aromas by serially administering more than one pure odorant to the patient's nostrils, left vs right, with measurement of the time, or numbers of breaths, required to cognitively notice the pure odorants' presence. | 01-21-2016 |
| 20160073944 | OLFACTORY MEANS USEFUL IN THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF MOOD DEPRESSION - A kit of two compositions comprising the same odorants in mixtures of different proportions is used for the measurement of olfactory discrimination capacity in subjects affected by a psychiatric disorder or disease involving mood disturbance, more particularly mood depression. | 03-17-2016 |
| 20160095544 | HAND HELD SMELL TEST - A hand held olfactory tester includes an elongated housing ( | 04-07-2016 |
