Disclosed herein are apparatuses and methods for treating neurological disorders by electro-stimulation. The apparatus (10) for treating neurological disorders includes at least one electrode (12) implantable in the brain of a patient, and a processing and stimulation device (14) connected to the at least one electrode (12). The processing and stimulation device (14) may include a stimulation module (16) configured to generate a stimulation signal to be sent to the at least one electrode (12), and an acquisition module (20) that measures cerebral activity coming from the brain of the patient. The acquisition module (20) may have a front-end block (27) configured to amplify the potential difference of its input signals (V.sub.1a, V.sub.2a) and to filter a stimulus artifact and may include a multi-stage fully-differential switched capacitor circuit (e.g., an integrated circuit) configured for discrete-time signal processing.

A badge formed of a planar sheet includes a front surface, a rear surface and a central opening. A camera module is attached to the rear surface and includes a camera lens and control panel positioned within the central opening. The camera is activated either manually using the control panel or automatically by one or more atmospheric sensors. The badge further includes a wireless-telephone transmitter for automatically transmitting the images to a remote electronic device to assist others with properly assessing and investigating an ongoing crime or emergency event.

The present disclosure is directed to a system and method modulating targeted neural and non-neural tissue of a nervous system for the treatment of head-and-face pain. Electrical stimulation is delivered transcutaneously to the treatment site that modulates the targeted neural- and non-neural tissue of the nervous structure, inhibiting nervous signaling and the perception of pain.

This disclosure relates to implantable neuro stimulation devices with a feedback loop to control an amount of energy delivered into a neural tissue based on a measured evoked neural response. Stimulation electrodes deliver stimulation energy to neural tissue. A microprocessor performs closed-loop control of the stimulation energy based on a feedback signal that is indicative of an evoked neural response. A supervisor is connected to the feedback signal and detects malfunction of the stimulator based on the feedback signal. The supervisor is also connected to the stimulator to provide a status signal to the stimulator and changes the status signal to indicate malfunction upon detecting malfunction based on the feedback signal. The microprocessor adjusts the control of the stimulation energy in response to the status signal from the supervisor indicating malfunction.

A multilayer casing device for attenuating electromagnetic waves is made of at least one textile material, at least one metal material. The device is made up of a stack provided with at least, consecutively from the inside to the outside: a first diamagnetic metal material layer at least partially made of copper, a second textile layer at least partially made of wool or cotton, a third layer made of a ferromagnetic material, and a fourth textile layer at least partially made of wool and cotton. The device is also made up of a complementary stack of identical layers (the second textile layer, the third ferromagnetic layer and the fourth textile layer) extending symmetrically in relation to the first copper layer.

The method for protecting biological objects (BO) from the negative influence of technogenic electromagnetic (EM) radiation in a wide range of frequencies, which consists of creating a coherent field in the form of a fractal matrix around a biological object using a fractal-matrix as coherent transducer based on a self-affine annular raster lattice (resonator) formed from ringed topological lines, which create a slit-like raster, and is a universal Fourier transformer that harmonizes the amplitude, phase, frequency and polarization vector of external technogenic radiation and the BO's own EM radiation. The transformation of external radiation occurs in accordance with the Fourier transform with the formation of a coherent matrix of EM wave superpositions. The coherent matrix does not conflict with the BO. The transformation does not affect the functioning of the technical devices. The coherent transformer can be placed on the BO, or between the BO and the source.
