Title: Non-invasive method of physiologic vibration quantification
Inventor: MCLEOD KENNETH J
IPC: A61B5/103
Filed: 1998-08-05
Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method of determining the onset of osteoporosis by measuring the vibrational response of the musculoskeletal system. Risk of fracture of bones due to osteoporosis is mainly determined by three risk factors: muscle strength, bone mass and postural stability. Because these three risk factors for fractures are interrelated and dependant on muscle function, they can be determined by quantifying physiologic vibration non-invasively using a low-mass accelerometer placed at an appropriate muscle belly. Muscle vibrations are produced by force fluctuations of unfused motor units during contraction and are expressed by the lateral expansion of muscle fibers. Muscle vibrational characteristic span a broad (0-100 Hz) frequency regime, directly reflecting the force provided by the muscle fibers being utilized and the nature of the dynamic mechanical milieu experienced by the skeleton during postural or locomotory muscle activity. In addition vibrational information below 5 Hz has been shown to correspond to postural instability. Also, a specific frequency component of the muscle vibration spectrum (25-50 Hz) has now been shown to represent the contribution of fast-oxidative fibers which are well correlated to the bone mineral density of humans. Thus, all three of the major risk factors of fracture are measured by a simple measurement of the musculoskeletal vibration spectrum using physiologic vibration quantification.

IPC: G08C17/02
Filed: 2000-05-26
Abstract: A sucker rod pump dynamometer has a movable signal device secured to and movable with the polish rod and which transmits a first signal and receives wireless signals. A fixed signal source receives the first signal and returns a wireless return signal. A controller directs the movable signal device to send the first signal and measures the elapsed time between its transmission and the receipt of the wireless return signal, be it a reflection of the first signal or an independent signal emitted by the fixed signal source. Preferably, the first signal is an infrared signal which instantaneously triggers the second signal device to return an ultrasound return signal; the reverse also being a preferred embodiment. If both the first and return signals are ultrasonic, then the second device introduces a built in delay to permit spurious reflections to dissipate. The controller calculates the polish rod position based upon the elapsed time and the speed of travel of the first and wireless return signals. Multiple calculated positions over time permit rod velocity to be determined. The controller further monitors the load on the polish rod. A data radio connected to the controller wirelessly transmits information regarding polish rod load and position from the controller to a remote computer.
