Abstract: An electrode includes separate first and second electrical contacts to contact the skin of a subject. A charge-holding structure is electrically connected between the first and second contacts. An indicator is operatively coupled to the charge-holding structure so that the indicator changes visibly in response to a change in the charge stored in the charge-holding structure. The electrode can include a rectifier across the contacts. A container for electrodes includes an electrical supply and a plurality of receptacles for electrodes so that a voltage difference is maintained across conductors of each receptacle (and contacts of an electrode therein) for at least one week. A method of making electrodes includes arranging the contacts over a support, connecting the charge-holding structure between them, arranging the indicator over the support, and charging the charge-holding structure so that the indicator has a first visual appearance.

Abstract translation: 电极包括分开的第一和第二电触头以接触受试者的皮肤。 电荷保持结构电连接在第一和第二触点之间。 指示器可操作地耦合到电荷保持结构，使得指示符响应于存储在电荷保持结构中的电荷的变化而明显变化。 电极可以包括穿过触点的整流器。 用于电极的容器包括电源和用于电极的多个插座，使得在每个插座的导体（和其中的电极的触点）中保持电压差至少一周。 一种制造电极的方法包括将触点布置在支撑件上，将电荷保持结构连接在它们之间，将指示器布置在支撑件上，并且对电荷保持结构充电，使得指示器具有第一视觉外观。
