Filed:

Aug 16, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/106602

Inventors:

David L. Stephens - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

A61B 508

US Classification:

128721

Abstract:

A breathing monitor article of wearing apparel, adapted for child users in order to monitor breathing conditions of a child user. The apparatus and the method of the invention are particularly adaptable for infant child users in order to prevent conditions such as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and similar conditions arising from apnea. The article of wearing apparel comprises a shirt or like garment adapted to extend around the chest and/or abdomen portion of the child user and which contains a pocket having a monitor therein. An elastic belt extends about the chest and/or abdomen of the user and particularly, in the region of the user's lungs. A strain gauge is secured to the elastic belt and detects breathing movement through the expansion and contraction of the chest wall. The monitor is electronically operated and constructed so as to generate an alarm signal if there is a cessation of breathing for a minimum predetermined time period. The shirt, or like garment, is also constructed so that when it is secured to the child user, it automatically energizes the monitor, thereby eliminating the necessity of an attendant to the child from turning the monitor on or off.

Abstract:

A system for providing remote target identification is provided that includes a radar system and an electro-optical device. The radar system is configured to locate a remote target that has an optical identification (ID) system. The radar system is also configured to generate a target location when the target is located. The electro-optical device is configured to receive the target location from the radar system and to obtain optical data from the optical ID system based on the target location. The optical data includes an identity of the target.
