Abstract

A hyperbaric medical garment is designed to treat symptoms of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome or other orthostatic hypotension. The garment includes a bladder layer which retains a pressurized fluid and applies pressure to the user. The bladder layer is semi-permeable, being impermeable to both oxygen and nitrogen and permeable to water vapor. A first fluid tube is formed as part of the bladder layer to deliver the pressurized fluid to the interior of the bladder layer. A cover layer is formed from a lightweight, low-elongation fabric surrounding the exterior of the bladder layer. The cover layer is sealed around the first fluid tube and allows the first fluid tube to pass therethrough. The thigh seals are configured to seal the bladder layer to the user such that the bladder layer forms a lower volume and an upper volume. The first fluid tube delivers the first pressurized fluid to the lower volume.

Abstract

A control system and method of selectively enabling an auto-shutoff feature of a control system for an aviation headset includes a power switch. The power switch is toggled and if the control system is in a powered down state, a startup sequence for the control system is initiated. During the startup sequence, a bias voltage detector checks for a bias voltage on a signal line of the headset. If a bias voltage is detected during the startup sequence, the auto-shutoff feature is enabled. The auto-shutoff feature periodically checks for a bias voltage and powers down the control system if no bias voltage is detected for a predetermined time interval. If no bias voltage is detected during startup, the auto-shutoff feature is disabled.

Abstract

A method of managing communications between communication devices within a digital intercom system includes providing input and output tables for each communication device.

When two devices communicate on a given channel, a cell in the appropriate input and output table is identified based on the channel and the devices communicating. The cells provide volume control information which can be relied upon to determine if or to what degree audio signals should be transferred between the devices.

Abstract

A method for active noise cancellation in a volume 100 generates a mathematical model 108 of a noise' process to be cancelled. Using the mathematical model 108, a noise signal in a next sample period 110 is predicted from a measured noise signal 104. The predicted signal 110 is inverted 112 and applied to the volume 100. Destructive interference of th noise signal and the inverted signal cancels the noise in the volume 100.
