Title: Resuscitation decision support
Inventor: MYKLEBUST HELGE
IPC: A61H31/00
Filed: 2007-02-20
Abstract: Instructions for actions to be taken during resuscitation (e.g. CPR) of a patient are provided by continuously monitoring and analysing the resuscitation process. Input signals 1 related to the resuscitation process are received and processed to provide a representation of the resuscitation process. Output signals 3 are generated based on the representation and predetermined criteria, the output signals 3 being representative of actions to be taken during the resuscitation process. The output signals 3 are delivered to a defibrillator or rescuer. The input signals may be ECG signals, compression signals, ventilation signals, impedance signals, ETCO2 signals SpO2 signals, pressure signals and secure airway indications. The processing may involve filtering ECG signals to remove CPR noise, and analysing the filtered ECG signals to determine the onset of a shockable rhythm (the onset of ventricular tachycardia, VT or ventricular fibrillation, VF). The output signals 3 are them provided based on the VT/VF onset and predetermined criteria. Filtering the ECG signals to remove CPR artefacts allows continuous measurement during chest compressions.

Title: A gym glove with detachable palm pad
Inventor: PURCELL LEON
IPC: A41D19/00
Filed: 2008-09-10
Abstract: A gym glove comprises a pad (4, fig 2) that is detachably attached to the palm/heel of the glove, an extended wrist strap 2 that wraps around the wrist of the wearer to provide support to the wearer's wrist and seamless gusset (7, fig3) between the wearer's fingers. The pad is preferably a gel pad although alternative means such as a hard sponge material may be used; the pad raises the heel of the hand altering the angle of the wrist in relation to the hand (fig 2). The pad may be detachably attached to the palm/heel of the glove with hook and loop fastening means 1.

Abstract: 433,437. Discharge apparatus. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., Magnet House, Kingsway, London.-(Assignees of Patent-Treuhand- Ges. f³r Elektrische Gl³hlampen; 11, Ehrenbergstrasse, Berlin) April 1, 1935, No. 10087. Convention date, April 7, 1934. [Class 39 (i)] In a discharge tube having thermionic main electrodes, the heating element 2 of each electrode is connected at one end to the supply and at the other end to a surrounding metal sheath 8. An auxiliary electrode 17 formed as a second sheath surrounding the first is connected through an insulated helical conductor 13 within the tube to an electrode similarly arranged at the other end (not shown), neither electrode being connected to the main electrodes. Initially, a discharge starts between the members 8, 17, and the auxiliary discharge current passing through the heaters 2 raises them to electron emitting temperature and initiates the main discharge. Springs 16 engaging the wall of the tube support the insulated conductor 13. The sheaths 8, 17 act as heat shields for the thermionic electrodes which may comprise heaters coated with emissive material, or enclosed in metal cylinders, or enclosing rods 3 of alkaline carths.
