Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining the energy-information characteristics of a biological object, wherein said method comprises fixing and correlating a gas-discharge illumination system in an electro-magnetic field for a reference object and for the object to be analysed. The gas-discharge illumination systems thus fixed for the reference object and the object to be analysed are then converted into a digital code. This method also comprises determining the quantitative parameters of the illumination systems which indicate their two-dimensional geometrical characteristics. This method further comprises determining for both the reference object and the object to be analysed the corresponding points of said parameters in a multi-dimensional space and, from the distance between said points, the deviation of the energy-information characteristics of the object to be analysed relative to those of the reference object. It is further possible to determine the quantitative parameters of the gas-discharge illumination systems which indicate their luminosity, spectral and fractal characteristics.

Abstract: A system for measuring facial impedance of patients with hemiparesis, or unilateral facial palsy, provides a program for therapeutic stimulus of paralyzed facial muscles. Facial current is generated between an upper electrode (30) above the eyes and a lower electrode (31) on the chin, the facial current in sinusoidal or pulsed form being sub-threshold so as to avoid any muscle stimulus. Impedance measurements are taken by determining the voltage between symmetrically placed facial electrodes (32, 33), or between electrode pairs consisting of one electrode (35, 36) positioned around the eye, cheek or mouth, and a reference electrode (R) placed on the patient's chin so as to provide an effective bottom point of the Wheatstone bridge formed by the face. The impedance measurements are indicative of muscle paralysis, and provide a simple but reliable method of obtaining data useful for facial movement assessment.

Abstract: An electrode arrangement for an electrical impedance tomography system comprises a plurality of electrodes (S1-S16) in an array (22) mounted in a support medium (24, 26, 28, 30, 32) for supporting the electrodes adjacent a surface of a volume (12) the electrical conductivity distribution of which is to be measured, for example the thorax or another body part, a pipeline, the ground, and so on. The electrodes are disposed in two groups, the arrangement being such that, in use, one group (R1-R16) will be closer to the surface than the other group (S1-S16). In operation, each pair of electrodes will be stimulated in turn by applying a known current to them. For each stimulated pair, a resulting potential difference will be recorded at the pair of the remaining electrodes which, if stimulated, would produce an electric field with vectors of the electric field produced by the stimulated pair of electrodes.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are disclosed for applying a low strength, time varying magnetic field (26) to a selected screening region of a host, and for sensing a responsive magnetic field (28) from a retained ferrous body within the screening region. The excitation field coil is designed to create a region of finite magnetic field within the screening region, and a region of near zero magnetic field. The sensors (24) are placed within the region of near zero magnetic field to minimize the effect of the applied field. The effects of the applied field are further reduced by use of a reference sensor, field compensation coils, and a feedback loop. The magnetic gradient by the sensors (24) is processed to locate and characterize the ferrous body.
