20090048500 | METHOD FOR USING A NON-INVASIVE CARDIAC AND RESPIRATORY MONITORING SYSTEM - A non-invasive monitoring system using radiated energy to identify cardiac and respiratory waveforms in patients is discussed. The monitoring system illuminates a subject in radiated energy and then detects the reflected radiated energy caused by respiratory and/or cardiac functions. The detected reflections are used to plot a two-dimensional waveform. The waveforms represent the rise and fall of a detected signal (the reflected energy) over time and are indicative of the small movements of the patient's chest and abdomen that are associated with cardiac and respiratory function. Different implementations of the monitoring system use laser or ultrasonic energy to capture breathing and cardiac waveforms for analysis. The waveforms may be used to diagnose the effectiveness of prescribed sleep medication, perform remote line of sight monitoring from a remote location, identify crying waveforms for babies and infants, identify cardiac waveforms in a non-invasive manner and identify seizure and tremor activity. | 02-19-2009 |

20090131771 | Apparatus For Denaturating Bilirubin And Bilirubin Dialyzer - The present invention provides a bilirubin reducing means which can minimize a risk such as the onset of an infection or the occurrence of blood coagulation and can reduce physical, temporal and economical burdens imposed on a patient suffering from liver dysfunction. A bilirubin denaturating apparatus includes a dialyzing portion which has a dialyzing column for performing dialysis of blood using hollow fibers incorporated therein; an infusion supply portion which supplies an infusion used for dialysis in the dialyzing portion to the dialyzing portion; and a blood circulating portion which feeds blood to the dialyzing portion and returns the blood dialyzed by the dialyzing portion, wherein the dialyzing portion includes a radiation means which radiates green light to the hollow fibers, and the radiation means radiates the green light to the hollow fibers for converting fat-soluble bilirubin in the blood flowing in the inside of the hollow fibers into water-soluble bilirubin thus eluting the water-soluble bilirubin in the infusion. | 05-21-2009 |
20090270699 | Device for Determining Physiological Variables - The device serves to optically determine physiological variables in perfused tissue. The device comprises a first and a second light source which each emit light radiation of a first or a second predetermined wavelength. The light sources are arranged in such a manner that the light radiation exiting them can penetrate into the perfused tissue. At least one photodetector is used, which is arranged so that it detects the light emitted by the light sources and passing through or backscattered by the perfused tissue. The device also comprises a control unit, which furnishes control signals to the light sources so that the light sources continuously emit light alternately, one or more dark phases can be inserted into this sequence, during which at least one light source does not emit any light. An evaluating device is connected to the output of the photodetector and furnishes, for at least one physiological variable to be measured, a displayable output signal to an interface that can be connected to the evaluating device. | 10-29-2009 |
