The invented non-invasive vital signs monitor is in a flexible, nominally flat planar form having integral gel electrodes, a sticky-back rear surface, an internal flex circuit capable of sensing, recording and playing out several minutes of the most recently acquired ECG waveform data and a front surface that includes an outplay port. The invented non-invasive body composition ‘risk’ monitor includes a measurement device for monitoring one or more variables including body fluid mass, dehydration, respiratory rate, blood pressure, bio-impedance, cardiography such as cardiac output, and body conformation parameters. The risk monitor may be provided in a lightweight carrying case into which the vital signs monitor plugs. Finally, a lightweight portable probe or transducer containing a transmissive or reflective electro-optical emitter and receptor in the infrared spectrum is fitted on a subject's finger or toe. Associated electronics energize and monitor the probe, detect cardio-rhythmic fluctuations therefrom, and process digital data over a prescribed window to produce a non-invasive, qualitative or quantitative measure of the subject's circulation. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a simple tri-color LED array is used to indicate the subject's circulation as being normal, reduced, or borderline. Thus the vital signs, bio-impedance, and circulation monitors may be independent or they may be integrated into one portable, non-invasive device that can concurrently monitor and locally display or remotely convey important patient data including circulation data to a local subject or physician or to / from a remote patient medical data center via wireless telemetry for oversight, treatment and possible intervention by a remote physician.

Improved assemblies, systems, and methods provide a stimulation system for prosthetic or therapeutic stimulation of muscles, nerves, or central nervous system tissue, or any combination. The stimulation systems and methods include an implantable pulse generator adapted for wireless telemetry and having a unique signature to enable secure communications. An external controller includes circuitry adapted for wireless telemetry. The secure communications includes at least a first communication from the external controller to the pulse generator. The first communication includes the pulse generator's unique signature. A response communication from the pulse generator to the external controller includes data elements that indicate the response communication is a response, and not a command from an external controller.

Devices, systems, and methods for treating a heart of a patient may make use of structures which limit a size of a chamber of the heart, such as by deploying a tensile member to bring a wall of the heart toward (optionally into contact with) a septum of the heart. The implant may include an electrode or other structure for applying pacing signals to one or both ventricles of the heart, for defibrillating the heart, for sensing beating of the heart or the like. A wireless telemetry and control system may allowing the implant to treat congestive heart failure, monitor the results of the treatment, and apply appropriate electrical stimulation.

Improved assemblies, systems, and methods provide an electrical signal processor for acquisition and processing of electric signals from tissue. The electrical signal processor is sized and configured to be implanted in subcutaneous tissue. The electrical signal processor includes an electrically conductive case of a laser welded titanium material. Control circuitry is located within the case, the control circuitry including a rechargeable power source, a receive coil for receiving a first radio frequency wireless telemetry to recharge the power source, and an antenna for receiving a second radio frequency wireless telemetry for communication with the electrical signal processor.

A method and means is disclosed for remotely reading the status of and controlling irrigation components and ancillary equipment. A handheld remote user interface (RUI) is provided which includes at least a display. The RUI has the ability to communicate with and control the irrigation components using built-in wireless telemetry technology. The RUI allows the user to read the status of and control the irrigation components and ancillary equipment from any location, without requiring the user to be at the irrigation component controls or at a specific location in the field. Software operational of the RUI generates one or more user screens with graphic user interfaces for quickly and easily monitoring and controlling the irrigation components and ancillary equipment.

An infant warming apparatus for supporting an infant upon an infant bed. The apparatus has a sensor that is affixed to the skin of the infant to detect one or more physiological functions of the infant. A transmitter is located within the enclosure of the sensor and which transmit the information detected by the physiological sensor to a receiver that is located on the infant care apparatus and which can then convert that information into a recognizable or usable medium. An alternative embodiment includes the transmitter located proximate to the infant within an infant scale located beneath the infant. The sensor is hardwired to the transmitter in the infant scale and signals relating to weight and / or a condition of the infant are transmitted by wireless telemetry to a monitor or other display device to display that information to the caregiver.

A system for measuring desired drilling parameters of a pipe string during an oil and gas well drilling operation is provided that includes a top drive assembly; a pipe running tool engageable with the pipe string and coupled to the top drive assembly to transmit translational and rotational forces from the top drive assembly to the pipe string; and one or more measurement devices mounted to the pipe running tool for measuring the desired drilling parameters of the pipe string during the oil and gas well drilling operation.

A vital signs monitoring system and method for storing and accessing data obtained by a pupilometer make use of a pupilometer with a wireless telemetry interface to the vital signs monitor. The wireless telemetry interface permits transmission of information obtained by the pupilometer to a wireless telemetry module in a vital signs monitor. In this manner, the valuable information obtained by the pupilometer can be readily integrated with other information obtained by a vital signs monitor, and can be readily stored and retrieved by care-givers.

An instrumented component (18, 19) for use in various operating environments such as the hot gas path section of a combustion turbine engine (10). The component (18, 19) may have a substrate, a sensor (50, 204, 210) connected with the substrate for sensing a condition of the component (18, 19) within the casing during operation of the combustion turbine (10) and a connector (52, 202) attached to the substrate and in communication with the sensor (50, 204, 210) for routing a data signal from the sensor (50, 204, 210) to a termination location (53). The component (18, 19) may include a wireless telemetry device (54, 202) in communication with the connector (52, 202) for wirelessly transmitting the data signal outside the casing. A transceiver (56) may be located outside the casing for receiving the data signal and transmitting it to a processing module (30) for developing information with respect to a condition of the component (18, 19) or a coating (26) deposited on the component (18, 19).
