Project Description
Diagnostic Technologies Overview
Diagnostic tests are an essential component of the health care system, providing vital information that impacts provider
decisions regarding the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of a disease. With advances in technology
over the last several decades, diagnostics have become even more integral to the practice of medicine today, enabling,
for example, more personalized and more productive treatments. While testing capabilities continue to evolve rapidly
through the development of new technologies, there are certain concepts of measurement used to evaluate their effectiveness
that are fundamental and unchanging.

INVENTORS • John (Jack) Salisbury, Ying Sun
ABSTRACT
A method and an apparatus are disclosed for extending the service life of a battery source by fully utilizing the energy in batteries and/or providing higher energy reserve using multiple batteries. An universal battery bank consists of an ensemble of possibly heterogenous batteries all connected in series to provide a usable operational energy source. |
APPLICATION |
By placing a head of an electronic stethoscope over the subject’s suprasternal notch when they are awake. The device will pulse an electrical signal. This will help determine breathing sounds detected by the head of the electronic stethoscope within a frequency range, the breathing sounds corresponding to a patient breathing through their mouth.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS |
