A single chip integrated circuit measuring circuit (1) for determining a characteristic of the impedance of an external complex impedance circuit (2) for facilitating characterization of the impedance of the complex impedance circuit (2) comprises a signal generating circuit (7) for generating a variable frequency stimulus signal for applying to the complex impedance circuit (2). A first receiving circuit (10) receives a response signal from the complex impedance circuit (2) in response to the stimulus signal and conditions the response signal. A first analog-to-digital converter (68) converts the conditioned response signal to a first digital output signal, which is read from the first analog-to-digital converter (68) through a first digital output port (14). The response signal from the complex impedance circuit (2) is a current signal, and a current to voltage converter circuit (64) converts the response signal to a voltage signal. A first RMS to DC level converting circuit (70) converts the AC voltage of the response signal to a DC voltage level, and a fourth multiplexer (67) selectively applies the voltage response signal or the DC voltage level signal to the first analog-to-digital converter (68), depending on whether it is desired that the first digital output signal should be indicative of the phase shift or amplitude change in the response signal relative to the stimulus signal. A second receiving circuit (20) receives the stimulus signal, and similarly converts the stimulus signal to a second digital output signal for facilitating comparison of the response signal with the stimulus signal.

A vehicle safety system to improve lane change turn signal use by creating a conditioned response in the driver of a motor vehicle such that turn signals are used more appropriately over time for changing lanes. This is achieved using existing lane departure warning components and comparing each lane change at lower speeds to the coinciding turn signal on/off status, and determining if turn signal usage was appropriate. If lane changes indicate repeated, neglectful turn signal usage, a reminder message is presented to the driver. The lane departure warning remains functional at higher speeds, but at lower speeds, the present invention provides a less abrupt, friendly reminder message to use turn signals for lane changes. Drivers who repeatedly neglect to use turn signals will over time increase usage and reminder messages will cease, thereby improving vehicle safety by increasing appropriate turn signal use while changing lanes.

There is provided a method and associated kit for reducing the normal dosage of a pharmaceutical given to a patient for the treatment of a disorder without substantially reducing its effectiveness. During a first predetermined time period, a substantially full dosage of the pharmaceutical is administered to the patient, preferably with a placebo.

A vehicle safety system to improve turn signal use by creating a conditioned response in the driver of a motor vehicle such that turn signals are used more appropriately over time. This is achieved using existing vehicle components to monitor a running recent history of executed turns, comparing each turn to the coinciding turn signal on/off status, and determining if turn signal usage was appropriate. If the recent history is indicative of neglectful turn signal usage, a reminder message is presented to the driver. If a driver is appropriately using turn signals nearly all of the time, then no reminder is ever presented, thus the system will never be considered a nuisance and is transparent to most drivers. Drivers who repeatedly neglect to use turn signals will over time increase usage and reminder messages will cease, thereby improving vehicle safety by increasing appropriate turn signal use.

A specialized conditioning protocol for honeybees that is designed for use within a complex agricultural ecosystem. This method ensures that the conditioned bees will be less likely to exhibit a conditioned response to uninfected plants, a false positive response that would render such a biological sensor unreliable for agricultural decision support. Also described is a superboosting training regime that allows training without the aid of expensive equipment and protocols for training in out in the field. Also described is a memory enhancing cocktail that aids in long term memory retention of a vapor signature. This allows the bees to be used in the field for longer durations and with fewer bees trained overall.
