Method and apparatus for the treatment of obesity

The present invention includes methods and materials for manipulating the sense of satiety developed from the gastrointestinal transit of a substance in a mammal, whether the substance be a food or drug compound. The method involves administering a therapeutically effective amount, by a direct delivery route, of a pharmaceutically acceptable formulation comprising nutrients and pharmacological agents to the mammal's gastrointestinal tract. The present system is designed to maximize satiety feedback from normal intestinal sensors by small amounts of nutrients or nutrient derivatives, in essence, to “fool” body sensors that are not usually in contact with nutrients unless very large amounts are ingested.

Physical activity measuring system

InactiveUS20060020174A1Accurate exercise intensityAccurately determineInertial sensorsNavigation instrumentsIntensity scalingBody sensors
A physical activity measuring system analyzes analyzing body motions of a user to accurately determine the exercise intensity. The system includes a portable device which is adapted to be carried by the user and is equipped with a body sensor and an indicator for indication of the exercise intensity. The body sensor senses the user's body motions to give corresponding motion strength. The portable device has a processor which constitutes an exercise calculator which has a predetermined relationship between a default standard deviation of the motion strength and an exercise intensity scale. The exercise intensity calculator collects a time series data of the motion strengths within a predetermined first time frame, obtains a standard deviation of thus collected motion strengths, and converting the standard deviation into an instant exercise intensity within the intensity scale in accordance with the predetermined relationship. The standard deviation with regard to the motion strengths can be well concordant with the exercise intensity, and therefore gives the accurate exercise intensity on a real-time basis.

Kinesthetic training system with composite feedback

An apparatus for training a subject to perform a specified physical activity is based on the presence of two or more kinesthetic body sensors, whether mounted on the body or separately from the body, that deliver signals to a processing system that, in turn, delivers a single output signal. This signal drives a display that delivers feedback to the subject. Multiple body sensor output signals may be combined in accordance with a predetermined algorithm to produce a single composite signal. This combining may be as simple as direct addition, or may include the combination of weighted values of the individual comparison signals. An operator may adjust the weighting values to be applied to the respective comparison signals, and may do so while the apparatus is in use. Alternately while the apparatus is in use, a proportional signal from one body sensor may drive the display, subject to suppression of such signal if the output from any number of other body sensors does not achieve preselected threshold values.
