Title: Method for manufacturing smart pressure monitored suits

Authors: Li-Tsang, Wai-ping Cecilia

Abstract: A method for manufacturing smart pressure suits, comprises steps of: measuring physical properties of lycra materials and select a lycra material suitable for making the smart pressure monitored suits; measuring body contour data of a patient and computing a pressure value applied to a disease's part of the patient; inputting the body contour data into a computer and creating a pattern of the smart pressure monitored suits by the body contour data and the pressure value processed by a drawing process module in the computer; plotting a blueprint of the smart pressure monitored suits with a plotter controlled by the computer; and sewing the smart pressure monitored suits according to the selected lycra material and the blueprint. Said method makes whole manufacturing process shorten and the manufactured smart pressure monitored suits has advantages of aesthetic, comfort, good air permeability, less deformation after it is wore in a period of time.

Title: Wearable portable device for increasing user awareness of a paretic limb and recording the user awareness

Authors: Fong, Nai-kuen Kenneth

Abstract: A wearable portable device (10) for increasing user awareness of a paretic limb and recording the user awareness, the device (10) comprising: a sensory signal generator (52, 20) to emit a continuous sensory signal to remind the user to move the paretic limb according to a predetermined schedule; a switch (13) to be actuated by the user for stopping the emission of the sensory signal; and an accelerometer (61) to detect movement of the paretic limb in 3-axis; wherein after the switch (13) is actuated by the user, the user is instructed to move the paretic limb in accordance with predetermined instructions and the movement of the paretic limb detected by the accelerometer (61) and response time of when the switch (13) is actuated after the sensory signal is emitted are recorded for analysis by data analysis software.

Abstract: An portable tracking device integrating a mobile phone module (e.g. based on GSM or 3G networks), a GPS module, a radio Beacon and ultrasonic beacon. The tracking device is normally in a hibernated state when the entire device consumes little energy and require no periodically changing or recharging batteries to power the device. It consumes power from the primary battery only when a tracking process is actually taken place. With this portable tracking device on the person who is unable to affirmatively report his or her whereabout, the remote center and/or a search team can communicate the GPS module, radio beacon and ultrasonic beacon of the tracking device via the mobile phone module based on existing wireless communication technologies, such SMS, GPRS, ect, on GSM or 3 G networks, which also serves as a means of initial rough estimation of the tracking device's location.
