Abstract
A system is provided by applying pressure to a portion of a body of an individual in a chamber having an aperture along a vertical axis for receiving the portion of the body of the individual. A pressure sensor is coupled to the chamber for measuring a pressure inside the chamber. A negative feedback control system, calibrates, adjusts and maintains the pressure inside the chamber.
Claims57
A method for applying pressure to a portion of the body of an individual comprising:
- producing a pressure inside a chamber, the chamber having an aperture for receiving the portion of the body of the individual;
- sensing the pressure inside the chamber with a pressure sensor in communication with the chamber;
- generating a relationship between pressure and actual weight of the individual;
- and
- regulating the pressure in the chamber with respect to the weight of the individual based on the relationship.
A system for applying pressure to a portion of a body of an individual comprising:
- a chamber having an aperture for receiving the portion of the body of the individual;
- a pressure sensor in communication with the chamber for sensing pressure inside the chamber;
- and
- a calibration system that generates a relationship between pressure and actual weight of the individual, the relationship used to regulate the pressure inside the chamber with respect to the weight of the individual.
A program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a method for applying pressure to a portion of a body of an individual the method comprising:
- producing a pressure inside a chamber configured to receive the portion of the body of the individual;
- sensing the pressure inside the chamber with a pressure sensor in communication with the chamber;
- and
- generating a relationship between pressure and actual weight of the individual to regulate the pressure in the chamber with respect to the weight of the individual.
