English

Subject field(s)
  • Electrodiagnosis
  • Medical Instruments and Devices
  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

In a telemedicine system, a patient is geographically removed from the presence of a doctor or other healthcare provider. For example, the patient could be at home instead of on site at a healthcare facility. Telemedical devices enable the healthcare provider to monitor the health status of a patient and potentially diagnose and treat some medical problems without the need for the patient to travel to the healthcare facility. The use of telemedical systems has the potential to reduce the cost of healthcare, and to improve the quality of healthcare through increased patient monitoring. Various known telemedicine systems provide a device to a patient that enables the patient to transmit medical data to a doctor or healthcare provider. Some devices are configured to record biosignals, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration rates, and transmit data of the recorded biosignals to a database for later review.

OBS

biosignal: designation validated by a Canadian subject-matter expert from the Department of Medical Imaging, Saskatchewan Health Authority.

  • Spacecraft

CONT

The Advanced Protein Crystallisation Facility for Spacehab and the ISS (APCF) ... was conceived to perform screening experiments under reduced gravity and temperature controlled conditions, with some diagnostic capabilities, during a shuttle mission. APCF is a locker-type facility which can be accommodated in the middeck of the US Space Shuttle or in a locker of the Spacehab module installed in the cargo bay of the Shuttle or in a drawer rack of the International Space Station.

CONT

The hardware consists of a process chamber, power and data electronics, the camera electronics, optical and video system, thermal control system, and tape recorder. The APCF is designed to run automatically, but the crew can verify the status of the facility by reading the LEDs [Light Emitting Diodes] mounted on the front panel.

OBS

advanced protein crystallization facility; APCF: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

CONT

Les conditions qui règnent sur Terre ont une incidence limitative sur la taille et la qualité de plusieurs cristaux de protéines que l'on y fait croître. Cependant, grâce aux conditions de microgravité de l'espace, on estime pouvoir faire croître des cristaux plus gros et mieux structurés. L'installation perfectionnée de cristallisation de protéines est la première à combiner trois méthodes distinctes pour réaliser la cristallisation. D'abord, la diffusion liquide-liquide où, une fois que Columbia sera en orbite, on laisse diffuser lentement l'une dans l'autre une solution protéinique et une solution saline initialement séparées par une barrière tampon. Ensuite, la dialyse qui consiste en la séparation d'une solution de protéines et une solution saline au moyen d'une membrane. Enfin, la diffusion de vapeur suivant laquelle des cristaux se forment à l'intérieur d'une gouttelette de solution protéinique tandis que le solvant contenu dans la gouttelette se diffuse dans un réservoir.

OBS

enceinte perfectionnée de cristallisation des protéines; APCF : terme et abréviation uniformisés par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).
