Abstract: A method and device for efficient defibrillation, to be
utilized in external defibrillation machines (24), capable of
being utilized with 2, 3, or more defibrillation electrodes
(12). The method and device achieve the efficient defibrillation
by ensuring that the defibrillation machine energizes the
patient with the waveform which is optimum for the number of
defibrillation electrodes (12) in use. The method and device
accomplishes this by (i) sensing (60, 62) the number of
defibrillation electrodes (12) in use, and by (ii) selecting
(64, 66, 68) the optimum defibrillation waveform for
energization of the sensed number of defibrillation electrodes

Abstract: To achieve both accuracy in correcting sensing
error caused by nonstandard factors of a pulse signal
generated by rotation of a rotor 2a-2d to be measured and
reduction in cost of an apparatus for doing the same, each
passage of rotor sensors 21 which rotate integrally with
vehicle tires 1a-1d are sensed to produce pulse signals. The
pulse signal periods Δt n  are sequentially integrated with
every pulse signal train consisting of multiple pulse
signals. When all of the pulse signal periods Δt n  of the
pulse signal train are integrated, the integrated value is
stored in memory. The memory always stores the integrated
values of the newest one rotation of the rotor 2a-2d to be
measured. The pulse signal periods Δt n  are averaged from the
sum of the integrated values. With such a construction, the
average of the pulse signal periods Δt n  can be obtained as a
learning reference value in the correction without storing
all of the pulse signal periods of one rotation, thereby
realizing both correction accuracy and cost reduction.
