The process for classifying anesthetic depth includes: collecting of biological signals, conditioning of said signals, monitoring of activity of the central and autonomic systems, measurement of indexes and classification of patterns in anesthetic depth. The activity includes: i) Awake: Vigil—Ak. and recovery of verbal response—Rc. ii) Light Anesthesia: Light induction anesthesia—Li. Light recovery—Lr, Light dose, increase in drugs or patient movement (La), iii) General anesthesia: General anesthesia—Ga, one minute after the start of the surgery, and iv) Deep anesthesia: identification of the EEG burst-suppression pattern (BSP) associated with deep anesthesia.

The present invention relates to a method for classifying anaesthetic depth, which comprises the steps of gathering biological signals, conditioning said signals, monitoring activity of the central nervous system (CNS) and of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), measuring indices, and classifying patterns into anaesthetic depth: (i) awake: wakefulness - Ak, and verbal response recovery - Re; (ii) light anaesthesia: lightly induced anaesthesia - Li, light recovery - Lr, light dose, increase in drugs or movement of the patient (La); (iii) general anaesthesia: general anaesthesia - Ga, one minute after beginning the surgical procedure; and (iv) deep anaesthesia: identification of the EEG burst suppression pattern (BSP) associated with deep anaesthesia.
The present invention relates to a method for concentrating fluids by freezing involving a combination of film freeze concentration, thawing and block freeze concentration techniques. Depending on the initial concentration of the fluids, the number of steps increase or decrease proportionally to the initial concentration. The present invention combines the specific steps and conditions required to obtain products with higher concentrations and enhanced sensory characteristics. The method is also simple, can be applied at different scales and has wide-ranging applications in the food industry.
The present invention describes a device for assessing and providing quality feedback on thoracic compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which allows for an optimal assessment of the quality of the thoracic compressions made during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which provides feedback on the position of said compressions. The device for assessing and providing quality feedback on thoracic compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, by means of the elements thereof together with essential technical features thereof, such as an infrared sensor, a microprocessor, logic means, a graphic interface and remote connectivity means, makes it possible to estimate the depth and frequency parameters of the thoracic compressions, in order to determine whether they are adequate during a cardiopulmonary resuscitation procedure.
The invention relates to an apparatus and method for capturing and utilising carbon dioxide emitted by industrial chimneys to produce barium carbonate from ammonium carbonate solutions from ammonium absorption towers. According to the present invention, in particular, the ammonia absorption tower captures carbon dioxide emitted by industrial chimneys, wherein carbon dioxide is entrained by the liquid stream in the form of ammonium carbonate, and is precipitated by reaction with barium chloride, generating solid barium carbonate. The object and aim of the present invention is the utilisation of gases emitted by industrial plants to produce useful by-products, such as barium carbonate, in the form of a solution, thus preventing gaseous emisssions and the resulting pollution or contamination of the atmosphere.

The invention relates to an apparatus for measuring sensory thresholds in the laryngeal/pharyngeal tract of a patient. In particular, the apparatus of the invention is associated with means for measuring the distance and angle of an endoscope structure, and control means comprising the regulation of a pulse of pressurised water or air on the laryngeal/pharyngeal mucosa. The control means comprise a connection to a pulse generator formed by a controller and a solenoid valve that regulates the opening of the air or water passage. The aim of the invention is to provide accuracy in the measurement and inclination of the endoscope for supplying a train of pressurised water or air pulses for the endoscopic examination of sensory thresholds of the laryngeal/pharyngeal reflexes related to swallowing or breathing.
