In certain aspects, the present invention relates to CPR devices that are designed to limit the rise in intrathoracic pressure when performing CPR compressions (e.g., chest, thorax, etc.) so as to minimize increases in intracranial pressure resulting from such compressions and elevated ITP. Exemplary CPR devices of the invention generally include one or more pressure sensors and a control system configured to adjust or alert for the need to adjust the amplitude and duration of CPR compressions so as to prevent a rise in ITP above a certain threshold amount, thereby controlling the rise in ICP during CPR. Methods of controlling a rise in ICP during CPR are also provided.

In certain embodiments, the fastening mechanism includes offset flanges extending from the side members in substantially opposite directions to preclude interference between fasteners passing through the flanges.

A waterproof vapor-permeable shoe, including an upper part that delimits a foot insertion region; a sole, made mainly of plastic material, provided with at least one region which is diffusely perforated with through holes in the direction of a walking surface; a vapor-permeable or perforated flat element, rigidly coupled to the lower part of the sole on which the tread of the sole is formed or rigidly coupled, the flat element adapted to limit the formation of hollows in the foot insertion region at the projection of the holes of the diffusely perforated region; and a waterproof vapor-permeable membrane associated with the upper part and/or with the sole; the membrane being arranged above the flat element so as to be superimposed on the diffusely perforated region.

A sole for shoes, of waterproof and vapor-permeable type, including a lower element of plastic material, with formed thereon a tread with multiple through holes, a water impermeable and permeable to water vapor membrane arranged above the lower element and superimposed on the through holes, the membrane being joined perimetrically and hermetically to at least one component of the sole to avoid rise of liquids through the sole, and a vapor-permeable or perforated mechanism protecting the membrane, arranged below the membrane superimposed on the area of the holes. The sole includes individual vapor-permeable or perforated protective elements, each arranged so as to block a corresponding through hole. The lower element forms, for each through hole, an undercut region for preventing downward extraction for each protective element.

A wavelength variable filter (111) separates an input signal into a passing signal and an intermediate output signal. A wavelength variable filter (112) separates the intermediate output signal into a dropped signal and an extended output signal. An interleaver (120) separates the dropped signal into individual dropped channels. An intrerleaver (220A) multiplexes a plurality of addition channels into an added signal. A wavelength variable filter (212) multiplexes the added signal and an extended input signal to produce an intermediate input signal. A wavelength variable filter (211) multiplexes the passing signal and the intermediate input signal into an output signal. A wavelength setting portion (100) sets a wavelength of each wavelength variable filter in accordance with operation of an operator.
