Abstract: There is provided a skin engageable, electrode assembly for making selectable contact with the skin. The electrode facilitates the selective collection of electrical data and/or provides selective electrical stimulation. The electrode includes a conductive element, preferably of fabric construction, a semi-fluid conductive layer surrounding the conductive element, a cover preferably made of a perforated fabric or other porous material cell, and one or more temperature sensitive wires embedded in the cover that constrict when heated to cause the semi-liquid conductive layer to permeate the cover via the pores to engage the skin for electrical communication. When the wires cool, they loosen causing the semi-fluid conductive layer to be reabsorbed within the cover to prevent electrical communication with the skin.

Abstract: A device 22 includes a communication system transceiver 40 for exchanging signals in a first frequency band and a receiver 30 for receiving signals in a second frequency band. In order to improve the performance of the receiver. A processing portion 34 of the devices detects the presence of signals interfering with the signals in the second frequency band and also determines a timing pattern for interfering signals based on a timing information which is indicative of the timing for transmissions employed by the transceiver 40. A manipulation of signals reaching the receiver 30 during intervals defined by the determined timing pattern is then done, in order to reduce a performance degradation due to interfering signals originating from a transmitter 21 employing the same timing for transmissions as the transceiver 40. A corresponding method is also disclosed.

Abstract: An electrical heating cable of the type in which two power supply conductors extend along the length of the cable and the heating element extends along the length of the cable and between the two conductors, connected in parallel between the conductors. One or both of the conductors is encased in the sheath of material which has a positive temperature coefficient and the heating element is in electrical contact with the outer surface of the sheath. As a result the sheath is electrically connected in series between each heating element and the conductor encased by the sheath. The sheath may be manufactured from a material which provides a very rapid rise in electrical resistance at a predetermined temperature, thereby enabling the manufacture of a cable which delivers substantially constant power below the predetermined temperature with a rapid reduction in power output at the predetermined temperature.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for improving bodily safety during exposure to a monochromatic light source by diverging the monochromatic light, such as with a highly durable diffuser. At a first position of the distal end of the monochromatic light source the energy density of an exit beam from said distal end is substantially equal to the energy density of the monochromatic light required for desired applications and at a second position of the distal end the energy density of the light emitted therefrom is significantly less than the energy density of the monochromatic light. Accordingly, a laser unit suitable for aesthetic treatment, medical treatment or industrial treatment is converted into an eye safe laser unit. Eye safety is further enhanced by measuring the radiance of the divergent monochromatic light and issuing a warning as a result of a mishap if the radiance of the divergent monochromatic light is greater than a predetermined safe value, and if desired, generating a visible flash prior to the emission of a pulse of monochromatic light to induce an eye of a bystander to blink or to change its field of view in order to avoid staring at the monochromatic light.
