US Patent:

20090221884, Sep 3, 2009

Filed:

Mar 2, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/396233

Inventors:

Richard H. Ryan - Sherman Oaks CA, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/00

US Classification:

600301

Abstract:

A vital signs monitor system is integrated with personal protective equipment (“PPE”) so that upon wearing the PPE, the monitor is placed in an operational position to monitor a vital sign. In one embodiment, the vital signs sensor comprises a thermal sensor located at a mouth guard to automatically make operational contact with tissue under the tongue when the mouth guard is worn. A second vital signs monitor comprising reflective pulse oximetry devices senses oxygen saturation and heart rate. Vital signs data are communicated to an RF module located in an associated helmet for transmission to a remote location. A gateway at that remote location receives the transmitted vital signs data and forwards that data to a data collection, organization, and access system that is programmed to make the vital signs data available over the Internet. Medical personnel, coaches, supervisors at the location of the PPE can monitor the vital signs of the wearer by accessing the data collection, organization, and access system with hand held, or portable computing equipment over the Internet.

Inventors:

Richard H. Ryan - Sherman Oaks CA, US

Assignee:

Hall Ryan Laboratories, Inc. - Sylmar CA

International Classification:

G09B 19/00
A61B 5/024

US Classification:

600481, 434247

Abstract:

A system and associated method that provides a virtual coach to a person during an exercise routine includes a sensor used to sense the level of a physiological parameter of the exerciser, such as heart rate, a processor programmed to compare the sensed physiological parameter to a target level of the physiological parameter, and, depending on the comparison, provide coaching prompts to the exerciser. Coaching prompts include audible and visual prompts. In another feature, a visual image of a virtual coach may be made available for display to the exerciser, and in yet another feature, a video of the virtual coach saying the audio prompt may be displayed. The system allows for selection from a plurality of virtual coaches. The audio and video of virtual coaches are recordings of real people and may be produced or obtained from other sources. In one embodiment, audio, visual, and video of the virtual coach may be downloaded from the Internet.

Appl. No.:

8/155297

Inventors:

Richard M. Ryan - Northridge CA

International Classification:

A61M 514
A61M 500

US Classification:

604 80

Abstract:

An organizer for organizing and maintaining a plurality of lines in a specifically arranged manner. The organizer is to include a clamping arrangement to facilitate securement to an exterior structure. The lines are fixedly mounted at appropriate spaced-apart locations on a block with this block being pivotally mounted on the clamping apparatus so as to position the lines at a desired orientation relative to an exterior structure upon which the clamping apparatus is mounted. Identifying indicia is to be placed on the organizer which is to correspond to identifying indicia on the lines so as to organize the lines and avoid confusion between the different lines mounted on the organizer.
