Passive physiological monitoring apparatus and method has a sensor for sensing physiological phenomenon. A converter converts sensed data into electrical signals and a computer receives and computes the signals and outputs computed data for real-time interactive display. The sensor is a piezoelectric film of polyvinylidene fluoride. A band-pass filter filters out noise and isolates the signals to reflect data from the body. A pre-amplifier amplifies signals. Signals detected include mechanical, thermal and acoustic signatures reflecting cardiac output, cardiac function, internal bleeding, respiratory, pulse, apnea, and temperature. A pad may incorporate the PVDF film and may be fluid-filled. The film converts mechanical energy into analog voltage signals. Analog signals are fed through the band-pass filter and the amplifier. A converter converts the analog signals to digital signals. A Fourier transform routine is used to transform into the frequency domain. A microcomputer is used for recording, analyzing and displaying data for on-line assessment and for providing realtime response. A radio-frequency filter may be connected to a cable and the film for transferring signals from the film through the cable. The sensor may be an array provided in a MEDEVAC litter or other device for measuring acoustic and hydraulic signals from the body of a patient for field monitoring, hospital monitoring, transport monitoring, home, remote monitoring.

An energy absorbing tubular structure is formed of a molded or extruded polymer. The tube has a quadrangular cross-section with rounded corners. The walls of tube are corrugated with alternating convex and concave corrugations surfaces having a continuous constant radius, preferably with no flat spots.

The tube may be filled with polymer foam to vary the impact performance of the structure.

A treatment device comprising a holding method for holding a substrate such as an LCD substrate; and a treatment solution supply method for supplying a treatment solution on a surface of the substrate wherein the holding method has a substrate-placing portion on which the substrate is disposed, the substrate-placing is made of a synthetic resinous material. Since the holding method has a substrate-placing portion which is made of a synthetic resinous material, the electric charge amount of the substrate can be reduced to prevent various static electricity caused troubles such as the electrostatic destruction of the device formed on the substrate. Further, a discharge noise trouble due to discharge phenomenon from the substrate to a transporting method can be prevented. Further, it is possible to reduce the electric charge amount of the holding method and destaticize the holding method by supplying a destaticizing fluid such as ionized pure water or ionized gas towards above or below the holding method. Thus, it is possible to prevent various static-electricity caused troubles such as the electrostatic destruction of the device formed in the device from occurring and further, possible to prevent noise troubles from occurring because the generation degree of the discharge which occurs between the substrate and the transport method can be reduced further. The electric charge amount of the substrate can be reduced by making the thickness (distance) of the substrate-placing portion formed of a dielectric thick (long).
