Abstract:
1. A dry electrode set, comprising: a base portion, wherein the base portion comprises a base, a conductive biasing mechanism, an opening, and a connection, wherein the base portion further comprises a basement that includes teeth and a top cover, and wherein the basement with its teeth passes through the base, captures the conductive biasing mechanism between the basement and the top cover and secures itself to the top cover using the teeth; a conductive electrode having a cap portion and a post portion connected to the cap portion, the post portion having a retaining ridge, wherein the conductive electrode is replaceable; the conductive electrode is inserted into the opening of the base, wherein the conductive electrode is releasably retained in the base by the retaining ridge, wherein the conductive electrode is pivotable and rotatable in the opening of the base, and wherein the conductive electrode is biased away from the base and allows for the conductive electrode to be pressed fitted against a user's skin; wherein a signal detected by the conductive electrode passes through the conductive electrode and the conductive biasing mechanism to the connection; and wherein the base is located between the conductive electrode and the basement.
