Abstract: Forehead oximetry sensor devices and methods for determining physiological parameters using forehead oximetry sensors. One method includes placing an oximetry sensor on the forehead of a patient, such that the sensor is placed on the lower forehead region, above the eyebrow with the sensor optics placed lateral of the iris and proximal the temple; and operating the pulse oximeter to obtain the physiological parameter. In one aspect, the method also includes providing and placing a headband over the oximetry sensor, or alternately, the sensor is a headband-integrated sensor. The headband has an elastic segment sized to fit around the patient's head. The headband also includes a non-elastic segment that is smaller than and attached with the elastic segment. The non-elastic segment is sized to span a portion of the elastic segment when the elastic segment is stretched. In addition, the non-elastic segment is larger than the portion of the elastic segment it spans when the elastic segment is not stretched. When the headband or the headband-integrated sensor is sufficiently tight, it delivers a pressure in the range higher than the venous pressure and lower than the capillary pressure to the forehead of the patient.

Abstract: The functionality and the mode of operation are evaluated in an electrosurgical generator by determining whether a patterned pulse signal that contributes to the generation of electrosurgical energy is as expected. A number of pulses in the patterned pulse signal is compared to an expected number of pulses, and an error condition is indicated when the two values are not the same or differ by more than a predetermined amount. The expected number of pulses depends on a mode of operation of the electrosurgical generator. The error condition may be used to as a basis to terminate the output power delivery.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of estimating a channel quality of a wireless data transmission channel on the basis of channel quality indicators (CQI). By means of estimating the channel quality an accurate and momentary channel quality of a data transmission channel can be obtained on the basis of non-momentary CQIs that may be subject to measurement inaccuracies, delay or that may feature unacceptable quality due to e.g. high velocity movement of a mobile station. The invention provides determination of the quality and reliability of an obtained channel quality indicator and to select and to successively apply one or a plurality of various estimation procedures in order to determine an accurate and momentary channel quality indicator. Moreover, by making use of an iterative calibration procedure a CQI is determined such that a systematic offset between a defined transmission quality measure and an actually measured transmission quality can be effectively eliminated.
