Filed:

Aug 1, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/211115

Inventors:

Gregory I. Voss - Solana Beach CA, US
Gregory J. Martin - Carlsbad CA, US
Manouchehr Goharlaee - Encinitas CA, US

Assignee:

Tensys Medical, Inc. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

A61B005/02

US Classification:

600485, 600500

Abstract:

Improved methods and apparatus for non-invasively assessing one or more parameters associated with fluidic systems such as the circulatory system of a living organism. In a first aspect, an improved method of continuously measuring pressure from a compressible vessel is disclosed, wherein a substantially optimal level of compression for the vessel is achieved and maintained using perturbations (e. g. , modulation) of the compression level of the vessel. In one exemplary embodiment, the modulation is conducted according to a pseudo-random binary sequence (PBRS). In a second aspect, an improved apparatus for determining the blood pressure of a living subject is disclosed, the apparatus generally comprising a pressure sensor and associated processor with a computer program defining a plurality of operating states related to the sensed pressure data. Methods for pressure waveform correction and reacquisition, as well as treatment using the present invention, are also disclosed.

International Classification:

A61B 5/02

US Classification:

600485, 600490, 600500

Abstract:

Improved methods and apparatus for non-invasively assessing one or more parameters associated with fluidic systems such as the circulatory system of a living organism, when such parameters are potentially affected by other concurrent events. In one exemplary embodiment, apparatus and methods for compensating for occlusive events (e. g. , pressure cuff inflation) occurring ipsilateral to the location of parameter measurement are disclosed. Upon passive detection of signal degradation resulting from the event, the apparatus selectively enters a “wait state” wherein further processing of the hemodynamic data is suspended until the degrading event subsides. This behavior mitigates any adverse effects the event might have on the accuracy of the representation of the measured hemodynamic parameter generated by the system. In another exemplary embodiment, the measured data is analyzed in order to classify the type of event (e. g. , occlusive or other), such classification allowing the system to appropriately tailor its response to the event.

13/100095

Inventors:

Michael Martin - Irvine CA, US
Gregory Martin - Irvine CA, US

International Classification:

A63B 23/03

US Classification:

482 11

Abstract:

A jaw strengthening device may have an upper mouthpiece and a lower mouthpiece. These mouthpieces may be attached to each other by way of a coil compression spring. This allows the upper and lower mouthpieces to shift front and back as well as laterally so that the upper and lower mouthpieces do not track a specific pivot point, but can follow the natural movement of the jaw. A film is wrapped around the spring and expands outwardly as the user bites down on the mouthpieces to push the inside surface of the person's cheek away from the coils of the spring and prevent the coils of the spring from pinching the user's cheek. Additionally, the device may be inserted inside the person's mouth so that the device is not aesthetically obtrusive.
