Treatment of disorders by unidirectional nerve stimulation

Apparatus (18) for treating a condition of a subject is provided. An electrode device (100) is adapted to be coupled to longitudinal nervous tissue (40) of the subject, and a control unit (50) is adapted to drive the electrode device to apply to the nervous tissue a current which is capable of inducing action potentials that propagate in the nervous tissue in a first direction, so as to treat the condition. The control unit is further adapted to suppress action potentials from propagating in the nervous tissue in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

Methods and devices for non-invasive cerebral and systemic cooling alternating liquid mist/gas for induction and gas for maintenance

Methods for cerebral and systemic cooling via a patient's nasopharyngeal cavity are described. In one method, a cooling assembly is inserted into a nasal cavity through a patient's nostril. A substantially dry gas is delivered through a lumen of the catheter onto the surface of the patient's nasal cavity. Evaporative heat loss cools the patient's nasal cavity. If additional cooling is needed, a liquid coolant is delivered through a separated lumen of the catheter. The liquid coolant is nebulized at a plurality of delivery ports on the distal end of the catheter and is delivered onto the surface of the patient's nasal cavity in combination with the dry gas. The dry gas enhances evaporation of the nebulized coolant and additional cooling is provided from the evaporative heat loss of the liquid coolant.

Open fit canal hearing device

ActiveUS20080123889A1Reduce acoustic feedbackLess fitCompletely in canal hearing aidsEar supported setsMedicineHearing aid
An improved hearing aid device adapted for use within the ear canal of the CIC (Completely In the ear) and of the partially exposed ITC (In The Canal) type. This aid consists of a system of integrated parts allowing an air gap to substantially surround the hearing aid shell and air passages which communicate with the inner ear minimizing occlusion sensations and providing the user with an enhanced natural hearing experience. A key aspect of this device is the provision of air passages in the mounting insert which securely positions the hearing aid shell in the wearer's canal. These passages are designed to stay open after insertion of the aid in the ear canal. In use, unamplified sound from the outside passes around the hearing aid shell, through the air passages in the mounting insert blending with the amplified sound emanating from the receiver. The area of air passages in the mounting insert can be tailored by the technician adapting to the hearing loss characteristics of the user. Surprisingly, acoustic feedback is mitigated in spite of the openness of this novel design.

Distributed impedance sensor

An apparatus is disclosed for measuring one or more parameters of a variable physical structure, at least one of the parameters being fluid level, position, velocity or acceleration. The apparatus includes an electromagnetic sensing element comprising at least two electrically conductive members that are electrically insulated from one another. A distributed capacitance and a distributed inductance are each formed along a length of the sensing element. The inductive reactance is at least ten percent of the capacitive reactance, thereby allowing the capacitance to be distributed, rather than acting as a “lump capacitance”. The distributed capacitance enables shaping of the electric and magnetic fields around the electromagnetic sensing element so that disturbance by nearby electromagnetic fields, conductors, and dielectrics is minimized.When the apparatus is configured as a fluid level sensor, the capacitance is affected by the permittivity and the level of the measured fluid. A reference sensor can be used to compensate for changes in the permittivity of the fluid.When the apparatus is configured as a position sensor, the capacitance and / or inductance are affected by the position of an electrically conductive or dielectric target. The position measurement can be differentiated to obtain measurements of velocity or acceleration. Electronic circuits for operating the sensing element are also shown.

Control device for hybrid vehicle

A gradient determination control unit releases the hold of a gradient determination result when a state where a road surface gradient detected by a gradient detection unit is smaller than a gradient release determination threshold value continues for a second predetermined time or longer if a vehicle is determined to be in a traveling state by a traveling state determination unit, and releases the hold of the gradient determination result when the road surface gradient detected by the gradient detection unit becomes smaller than the gradient release determination threshold value if the vehicle is determined to be in a stopped state by the traveling state determination unit.

Appetite control compositions and methods of use

Appetite control compositions comprise Gymnema sylvestre and an expectorant. In some embodiments, the appetite control compositions contain from about 3 mg to about 50 mg of gymnemic acid (an extract of Gymnema sylvestre), from about 10 mg to about 80 mg of glycyrrhizin (an extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra), high impact flavor, and a sweetening agent in a non-traditional dosage form. A non-traditional dosage form provides for the topical application of medicaments to the tissues of the mouth and tongue, more specifically, to the sweetness taste receptors of the tongue. By delivering gymnemic acid to the sweetness receptors of the tongue, the sensation of sweetness is blocked, thereby providing appetite control.

Solid state positive force touch sensing

A touch sensor pad, including a touch sensor that senses the presence of a touching member placed proximate the touch sensor. A layer of protective material overlies the touch sensor. The layer of protective material has a first surface proximate the touch sensor and an opposing second surface distal from the touch sensor. The second surface includes a resting surface portion and a developed surface portion. The developed surface portion is recessed below the resting surface portion such that the developed surface portion is nearer to the touch sensor than the resting surface portion. The touch sensor has a sensitivity such that the presence of a touching member in contact with the resting surface portion does not result in an actuation of the touch sensor while the presence of a touching member pressed into the developed surface portion does result in the actuation of the touch sensor.

Information providing method and information providing device

The present invention provides a method for providing information and an apparatus for providing information with which information can be secretly displayed, and further, a display technique with a lot of sense of fun can attract keen interest from people around a display such as digital signage.A method for providing information using an apparatus for providing information that displays information using a light array includes: switching and displaying an information array and a concealment array in a display cycle in which a person cannot sense an information display array of the information array using the apparatus for providing information. The information array includes the information display array concerning information to be provided, and the concealment array is generated so that the information display array becomes invisible when the concealment array overlaps with the information array. The information to be transmitted can be secretly included in a normally displayed array (such as an image or a panel) for display. Since appropriately and intermittently blocking light entering a person's eye is only required, the person can acquire the information to be transmitted without a special instrument.

Protective Garment with Separate but Affixed layer

A protective garment consisting of an exterior clothing garment not limited in style (pants, shorts, romper, knickers, overalls, etc.) with a separate but affixed inner barrier garment layer designed to protect a child's or adult's clothing and environment from an accidental urination or bowel movement. It aids in the training of a child or adult using a waterproof garment allowing the sensation of the child or adult wetting themselves to heighten awareness of the accident while preventing the wetness from penetrating the barrier layer and keeping the exterior of protective garment dry by trapping the excrement until removed. The function is designed to promote faster orientation to using the proper facilities when excreting bodily waste while protecting the clothing and environment of the user from said waste.
