Abstract: A flashlamp drive circuit including a storage capacitor which is charged and selectively discharged in order to drive a flashlamp. A capacitor (116) is connected in parallel with each respective flashlamp (106) in a bank of flashlamps. Each capacitor (116) has a comparatively small capacitance so as to be capable of storing only a portion of the total energy pulse required to be delivered to the respective flashlamp (106). A controller, comprising a digital signal processor (118) and a microprocessor (120) is provided to control the operation of all of the flashlamps (106) in the bank via respective switch mechanisms (110). In use, each energy (or drive) pulse delivered to a flashlamp (106) is comprised of a plurality of smaller energy packets resulting from repeated charging and discharging of the respective capacitor (116). Thus, the shape and duration of the current pulses delivered to the flashlamp (106) is highly controllable and the size of the storage capacitor (116) required is significantly reduced relative to the prior art.

Abstract: The apparatus for monitoring muscle contractions of a subject (for example as a check on epilepsy or Parkinson's disease) comprises: a first sensor arranged to be placed on a reference location on the body of a subject for sensing, over a prolonged period of time, a reference parameter derived from at least one of movement and electrical activity of the muscles of the body at the reference location; at least one further sensor arranged to be placed on a chosen location on a limb of a subject, for sensing, over a prolonged period of time, a monitoring parameter derived from at least one of movement and electrical activity of the muscles of the limb at the chosen location; comparison means for comparing the monitoring parameter with the reference parameter; and output means for producing an output by comparison of the monitoring parameter and the reference parameter, the output comprising either recorded data which provide a record of an epileptic event in the prolonged period of time or an alarm output after the prolonged period of time when the monitoring parameter is outside a predetermined range compared to the reference parameter.

Abstract: This invention relates to an system for self treatment. The system consists of several portable modules where one of the modules is designated as a master module. The master module controls, supervises and monitors all the mutual information and data exchange between itself and the rest of the modules. The modules can e.g. consist of a BGM, a doser and a storage container. The modules may be able to generate and store data which is transmitted to the master module if it is within range. If the master module is not within range, the data is kept locally in the module until the master module is available. The master module can send the data to an external unit like a computer or database for further processing. A physician or an expert care-team can access the data in the database and give guidance to the patient on the basis of these processed data. This processing could also be done automatically by utilization of an expert system.
