BIOLOGICAL ELECTRODE
A biological electrode that includes an electrode member made of a conductive rubber having a plurality of electrode portions in contact with a body of a subject. The plurality of electrode portions are protrusively formed on an electrode portion forming surface of the electrode member and arranged circularly or concentrically on the electrode portion forming surface. Further, each of the plurality of electrode portions is formed so that a cross-sectional area thereof gradually decreases from a proximal end portion thereof toward a distal end portion thereof and a center of a cross section of the distal end portion is positioned radially outward of a center of a cross section of the proximal end portion as viewed from an arrangement center of the plurality of electrode portions.

Wearable electrode
A wearable electrode includes an electrode (203) fixed to garment (21) such that the electrode (203) can simultaneously come in contact with the skin of respective parts from the ventral side to the dorsal side of the upper left part of the body of a wearer (20), and an electrode (204) fixed to the garment such that the electrode (204) can simultaneously come in contact with the skin of respective parts from the ventral side to the dorsal side of the upper right part of the body of the wearer (20). The electrodes (203, 204) are installed such that the attaching positions gradually descend from the ventral side to the dorsal side with the wearer (20) standing upright, or the attaching positions gradually ascend from the ventral side to the dorsal side with the wearer (20) standing upright.
Electrode Connector Structure And Cable Assembly
A connector assembly for coupling with one or more electrodes includes one or more cables with wires. A plug is electrically coupled with an end or ends of the cables. An electrode connector structure is electrically coupled with the cables and includes a body that is configured for forming an internal space. A cantilevered first arm has an end that cantilevers toward the internal space. The cantilevered first arm has a rest position and a flexed position. A stationary second arm and arm end extend into the internal space opposite the first arm. At least one of the ends of the cantilevered first arm and stationary second arm include an electrical contact. In the rest position, the end of the cantilevered first arm is positioned opposite the stationary second arm a first distance. In the flexed position, the cantilevered arm, moves away from the stationary second arm to separate the ends to a greater distance to receive the electrode and returns to the rest position to grip the electrode.
Mono-layer electrode sensor
A mono-layer electrode sensor suitable for a multitude of electrophysiology testing applications is disclosed. The electrode sensor can include a mono-layer of conductive film shaped with a soft-form geometry that is modifiable to a targeted size tailored to a patient. The conductive film includes a sensing area that is complementary to a size and morphology of a body structure of the patient. The conductive film can have a connector coupled to the sensor, and the skin adherent side can have a bio-compatible hydrogel coated there over including a non-conductive material formed over the connector portion of the conductive film.
Surface electrode having a mounting element for a magnetic sensor
A mounting element (8) for releasably receiving a sensor (18) for transferring and/or receiving electrical currents and/or signals relating to a body of an organism, comprising a mounting element base (9) having a receiving space (17) for receiving the sensor (18), the receiving space (17) comprising a floor (19), a wall (16) disposed on the floor (19) and disposed on at least three sides, an opening (20) formed by at least one tab (21, 22), at least one clip closure (23, 24), and further comprising a cover (10) for the mounting element base (9), an at least three-sided wall being disposed on the inner side (11) thereof, the end face (30) thereof being implemented for contacting the end face (41) of the wall (16), wherein at least one counterpart (28, 29) to the at least one clip closure (23, 24) is disposed on the wall (27), and the mounting element base (9) and the cover (10) are connected to each other by a connecting element (13) such that the cover (10) is displaceable relative to the mounting element base (9), and the mounting element base (9) and the cover (10) are therefore lockable to each other by means of the at least one clip closure (23, 24) and the at least one counterpart (28, 29) and can also be opened again.
