System and method for monitoring blood glucose levels using an implantable medical device

T-wave amplitude and QT interval are derived from patient cardiac signals. Then blood glucose levels are determined based on a combination of the T-wave amplitude and the QT interval. By using a combination of both T-wave-based and QT interval-based signals, blood glucose levels can be reliably detected throughout a wide range of blood glucose levels. Once the blood glucose level has been detected, the implanted device compares the blood glucose level against upper and lower acceptable bounds and appropriate warning signals are generated if the level falls outside the bounds. In one example, wherein an implantable insulin pump is additionally provided, the pump is controlled based on the detected blood glucose level to maintain glucose levels within an acceptable range. A calibration technique is also provided for determining patient-specific parameters for use in the detection of blood glucose levels.

Electrode assembly and method for signaling a monitor

InactiveUS6233472B1Accurately and quickly placeEasily and economically manufacturedElectrotherapyElectrocardiographyScreen printingPatient awareness
An electrode assembly adapted to be attached to the skin over selected facial muscle groups picks up signals to be analyzed by an anesthesia adequacy monitor that measures the level of awareness of a living animal, typically a human being. The electrode assembly also includes a stimulator that stimulates a facial nerve to determine the level of paralysis, or neuro muscular block, of the facial muscles. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing the electrode assembly by printing a pattern of electrically conductive material through a silk-screen or an ink type process onto a flexible layer, and then coating the result with a non-conducting adhesive except at points corresponding to sensing points for the desired muscle groups. Finally, a method for using such sensing and stimulating devices is shown in determining and maintaining an appropriate level of patient awareness, muscle paralysis, and analgesia under anesthesia.

Connector and Coaxial Cable with Outer Conductor Cylindrical Section Axial Compression Connection

A connector and coaxial cable interconnectable via axial compression upon a cylindrical section of a solid outer conductor of the cable. The cylindrical section may be formed in the cable by drawing a cable end into an interference fit between a sleeve and an outer conductor seat formed in the connector body. Alternatively, the cylindrical section may be formed in the outer conductor during cable manufacture and the cylindrical section retained between the outer conductor seat and a crimp ring radially deformed by an angled die face during axial compression. To increase flexibility of a straight walled cable, annular corrugations may be formed in the solid outer conductor with the cylindrical sections at each corrugation peak. The cylindrical section having a length of at least 3 millimeters or 4 times the corrugation depth.
