    Abstract: Disclosed is a handheld laser-based perfusion imaging apparatus having a light source and an imaging device which are arranged in a fixed orientation to each other in the apparatus. The light source is configured for projecting a beam of coherent light onto a measurement field at a predetermined distance spaced apart from the apparatus. The imaging device is configured for recording speckle intensity maps of the measurement field and/or images of Doppler shifted light of the measurement field. The light source is configured to provide a substantially spherical wavefront or a substantial planar wavefront, at least at the measurement field. Preferably, the apparatus with the light source that provides a substantial planar wavefront, including a gimbal mount. Also disclosed is a method for measuring a perfusion in a tissue using the handheld laser-based perfusion imaging apparatus as described above.

    Abstract: A method for monitoring a system for injecting heated air into a patient. The system includes a source of air, a device for heating the air, a cannula for insertion into nostrils of the patient, a first conduit interconnecting the source and the device, and a second conduit interconnecting the device and the cannula. The method includes deriving pressure in the cannula from pressure of the air between the source and the cannula. The method includes measuring a pressure of the air at between the source and the cannula, determining a flow rate of the air in the system, deriving a first function representative of a respiratory flow rate of the patient from the measured pressure and the system air flow rate, deriving a second function representative of a respiratory volume of the patient from the measured pressure and the system air flow rate, and graphically displaying the functions.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of fabricating a micro machined channel, comprising the steps of providing a substrate of a first material and having a buried layer of a different material therein, and forming at least two trenches in said substrate by removing at least part of said substrate. Said trenches are provided at a distance from each other and at least partly extend substantially parallel to each other, as well as towards said buried layer. The method comprises the step of forming at least two filled trenches by providing a second material different from said first material and filling said at least two trenches with at least said second material; forming an elongated cavity in between said filled trenches by removing at least part of said substrate extending between said filled trenches; and forming an enclosed channel by providing a layer of material in said cavity and enclosing said cavity.
