Sun Bowl: Virginia Tech vs. UCLA
- Updated: December 30, 2013
Sun Bowl Matchup: Virginia Tech Hokies vs. UCLA Bruins
Date/Time: December 31st, 2:00 ET
Television: CBS
Sun Bowl Odds from WagerWeb
Point Spread: UCLA -7
Total: 47
The Sun Bowl pits one of the middling teams from the ACC up against one of the middling teams from the Pac-12, yet the UCLA Bruins are the heavy favorites over the Virginia Tech Hokies in El Paso.
Forget about that opening game of the season against the Alabama Crimson Tide. Take that away, and what's left is a darn good 8-3 season for Head Coach Frank Beamer and the gang. Not all of the games have been easy, and in fact, most of the games have been quite ugly, but V-Tech is getting the job done. The team makes no bones about the fact that it has to play well defensively, because this offense just isn't all that special. The defense has answered the bell though, and it started in that first game of the year against Alabama when the 'D' wasn't guilty of allowing most of those points. This unit ranks in the Top 10 in the land in total defense (4th), pass defense (3rd), rush defense (8th), and scoring defense (8th), and it is one of the better units which Beamer has had in his time in Blacksburg, which is definitely saying something. Offensively though, QB Logan Thomas and the gang have lots of work to be done. Thomas underachieved his whole career, and the fact that he doesn't even have 3,000 passing yards this year is telling in our eyes.
There was a point when the Bruins were one of the Top 10 teams in the nation, and many believed that they were actually that good. However, when you really look back at it, the team was beaten three times, each of which came against teams ranked in the Top 20 in the land, but even beyond that, a lot of the wins weren't all that impressive. Games against the Arizona Wildcats and Washington Huskies could have easily gone the other way, and the Utah Utes had the Bruins dead to rights back in October. Even the Nebraska Cornhuskers were pummeling UCLA before the wheels fell off. The bottom line is that QB Brett Hundley needs to be the man of the hour. Through his first five games of the season, Hundley was averaging 293.8 passing yards per game, and he figured to be a Heisman Trophy contender. The man who finished out the year put up just 196.6 passing yards per game and didn't have a single game with more than two passing TDs in that stretch.
The Bruins were crippled last year in the Holiday Bowl by the Baylor Bears, whom we later found out would go on to become one of the best teams in the country this season. V-Tech won the ugly Russell Athletic Bowl against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights last season, but it continued its string of six out of seven bowl games with 24 or fewer points scored.

Don't have Sky? Here's how to watch Game of Thrones season 5 legally
The Wars to Come is the sensational first episode of Game of Thrones season 5 and it will be screened tonight on Sky Atlantic at 9pm. It debuted in the US on HBO yesterday (also simulcast on multiple TV stations around the world) but UK fans will be eager to get their fill this evening.
However, if you don't have Sky's satellite service and rightfully refuse to head down the less salubrious stealy web route, you might be wondering how you can see the show.
So we list ways to do just that. And it's all above board.
With a £6.99 a month NOW TV Entertainment Pass you can watch Sky Atlantic live tonight (or at any other time) alongside a range of other channels, Sky and otherwise. That means you can watch The Wars to Come as it airs in its normal slot.
However, you can also watch it on demand on the service. And NOW TV catch-up is devoid of adverts, save for a few dedicated stings, so you can jump straight into a mostly uninterrupted version.
NOW TV can be viewed through a dedicated NOW TV box, available for £9.99 or £19.99 with a three month Entertainment Pass, Roku media streaming boxes or online through a browser. Apps are also available for iOS, Android, PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, Xbox One, YouView and select LG Smart TVs. You can also use the NOW TV app on a smartphone or tablet to play the show through a Google Chromecast.
READ: NOW TV box review
One additional benefit to NOW TV is you can catch up with any of the previous series of Game of Thrones ahead of season 5's debut.
Sky Go
Sky Go will also offer the show on catch-up (preceded by a minute of adverts) or live, and you don't necessarily need a Sky subscription to access the app for iOS, select Android devices, PS4, PS3 and Xbox 360. Or watch it online through a PC or Mac.
Technically you can subscribe to Sky Go if you're not an existing Sky customer. From £15 a month you can have access to the broadcaster's entertainment channels through Sky Go, which includes Sky Atlantic, on a laptop, desktop computer, smartphone or tablet. However, at £6.99 a month, NOW TV is a better option and is available on all the same devices and more.
Where Sky Go comes into its own is if you have a parent or friend with a Sky subscription and they have no interest in registering their free Sky Go accounts on mobile devices. You could ask if they would let you use one of the device slots instead (you can register up to two devices on one account). They might even let you take up a device slot for the duration of Game of Thrones season 5 and you can deregister it after.
Alternatively, if they subscribe to Sky Go Extra or you upgrade them to Sky Go Extra for £5 a month, you can take one of four device slots.
One issue with this method is that the iPhone and iPad app won't allow AirPlay mirroring or direct connection to get the pictures onto a TV. In this case, you really do get what you paid for.
READ: Which is the best movie streaming service in the UK? Netflix vs Amazon Prime vs Now TV and more
A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons
The third and last option is to dispense with watching the episode and new season entirely and sitting down with the books that inspired them. season 5 is mostly based on two of George R R Martin's fantasy novels, A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons.
However, producers for the HBO series have revealed that there has been a lot of deviation from the source material, much like with season 4, so things might happen differently on the show. The chances of getting away with winging it during conversations down the pub having only read the book are slim.

2006 Brunello di Montalcino, Vigna del Fiore, Fattoria Dei Barbi(6x75cl)
Gorgeous aroma of crushed currants and berries. Full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a long, expressive, fruity finish. This is a very special wine, rich, with an ample range of fruity aromas, and very elegant.
2007 Rosso di Toscana, Siepi, Castello di Fonterutoli(12x75cl)
A highly concentrated wine with sweet and dense tannins, it features a unique and original character that is appreciated by wine lovers throughout the world.
2006 Brunello di Montalcino, Il Poggione(6x75cl)
A ruby red wine with garnet hues and a very intense, lingering and stylish bouquet with small dark berry fruit notes. The palate is dry, warm, quite smooth and tannic and the after-aroma is long-lasting.
NV Bag in Box, Inycon Rosso, Settesoli(1x10l)
A medium bodied red wine with ripe fruit characters with soft, well-rounded tannins and a concentrated finish.
NV Sangiovese Poggio della Quercia IGT Rubicone, Contri(6x75cl)
Bright ruby red in the glass with aromas of forest fruits, a medium bodied palate and a delicious food-friendly freshness.
1972 Amarone Classico DOC, Bertani(1x75cl)
A deep garnet red colour witnesses the long barrel ageing. The first impression on the nose is of fresh black cherry aromas, leading into notes of maraschino cherry and plum. Immense depth and complexity on the palate: dried fruit, oolong tea, liquorice, spice, red-berry fruits, and a long velvety vanilla note on the finish. However, the key to this wine has got to be the sweetness level. It is genuinely dry, unlike many modern-style competitors.
2007 Coevo IGT, Cecchi(6x75cl)
The Sangiovese in this vintage was generous and of outstanding quality, first as grapes and then as juice, bestowing its Chianti-zone violet and earthy aromas, while at the same time displaying the highest elegance and persistence. This was complemented by the lush fruit of the Merlot, the smoke of the Petit Verdot, and the vibrancy of the Cabernet Sauvignon. There is beautiful choreography in the balance between the velvety tannins and alcohol in this new vintage.
2009 Cartagho, Mandrarossa(6x75cl)
Bright clear ruby with hints of purple on the rim. The nose shows elegant cherry, apple, plum, black pepper and vanilla aromas. On the palate the wine shows succulent plum and blackberry flavours, with very soft tannins, great balance and good length. A very appealing and moreish wine.
2009 Sfursat 5 Stelle, Nino Negri(6x75cl)
Deep ruby red in colour tending to brown around the edges. Displays a rich, fruity bouquet with overtones of nutmeg. The palate is smooth, austere, full and dry with a touch of sweetness in the nutty, caramel finish.

Watching a child discover the joy of Christmas is one of life
Visit the train display in Milford
The Grants Farm and Green Houses have their train display set up at the Milford Green House on state Route 50 in front of the shopping center. The area where this shopping center is, I remember, years ago when they raised tobacco and corn, there and on the left was an egg co-op that bought eggs from the farmers, now that goes back many years.
Looking for Joy
I've been in a position lately to see some of these random acts of kindness first-hand and I just want to share some of them with you.
What we really need are more Charlie Brown trees
Last week my grandson and I went to Dirr Nursery to cut our Christmas tree. We brought it home, put it in its holder in the living room, untangled and strung the lights, and hung the ornaments.

There are folks who feel the need to share at Thanksgiving
Hope you had a good Thanksgiving with your family or friends. We had all our family here on Thanksgiving evening. Ruth Ann was cooking and baking for two days, not all day, but parts of each day. She is like her Mother when setting a meal for our family.
Sled riding is for boys, not for older gentlemen
Origins of the Christmas tree
With all the hoopla lately about calling Christmas trees – holiday trees, I was curious about just how the custom of Christmas trees began.
Monroe Grange serves a great Thanksgiving supper for members
Last week Ruth Ann and I, along with several other Lions Club members volunteered at the Bethel Tate High School to help with the H1N1 Flu shots for the high school students. While there we were talking to a feller and he said his daughter had cat food in a bucket on the porch, and when she looked in the bucket, there was a cat and a possum both in there eating the cat food. What a strange sight!
Eating Thanksgiving dinner alone is common
Across America this week families are gathering to give thanks for the love they share and for the freedoms we enjoy in America. For most this time together includes a Thanksgiving feast of turkey with all the trimmings.

NTSB to investigate Boeing 787 Dreamliner fire at London's Heathrow Airport
Flights have were temporarily suspended out of London's Heathrow Airport after a Boeing 787 Dreamliner caught fire.

General view of the Air Ethiopian Boeing 787 Dreamliner 'Queen of Sheba' aeroplane, on the runway near Terminal 3, at Heathrow Airport, London, Friday July 12, 2013. Two Boeing 787 Dreamliner planes ran into trouble in England on Friday, with a fire on one temporarily shutting down Heathrow Airport and an unspecified technical issue forcing another to turn back to Manchester Airport. The incidents are unwelcome news for Chicago-based Boeing Co., whose Dreamliners were cleared to fly again in April after a four-month grounding due to concerns about overheating batteries. The fire at Heathrow involved an empty Ethiopian Airlines plane, which was parked at a remote stand of the airport after arriving at the airport. British police said the fire is being treated as unexplained, and that there were no passengers on board at the time of the fire. (AP Photo/Sang Tan)

Lentil soup is one of my favorite fall dishes. It is warm, comforting, and healthy. I love using intense spices like cinnamon or curry powder to flavor the soup. Here are five lentil soup recipes that will warm you up!
Indian Lentil Soup
This fragrant soup is spiced with cardamon, cumin, and cinnamon.
Thai Curry Coconut Soup
Coconut milk is added to make this lentil soup rich and creamy.
Spicy Lamb and Lentil Soup
If you cannot find lamb, use ground sausage instead.
French Lentil Soup
What makes this soup French is the use of lentils du Puy (petite green lentils).
Roasted Butternut Squash and Red Lentil Soup
Roasted carrots would also work great in this recipe.

Any views expressed in this article are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation.KILINOCHCHI, SRI LANKA - Thiyagalingam Kumaradasan, 39, says he was blinded a decade ago when he was caught in a shelling attack during Sri Lanka's civil conflict. Kumaradasan lives with his wife and 18-month-old daughter in a village in Kilinochchi, a district in Sri Lanka's Northern province. He does not work because of his disability. Before he went blind, he was studying to be a doctor. He wanted to learn indigenous medicine so he went to study with an indigenous medical doctor in Mullaitivu, another district in the province. But that is also the year his dream of being a doctor ended. "Still I can remember that day in 1992," he says. "There was huge shelling attack in Mullaitivu. Lot of people died. Some were injured." He says he could not remember what had happened to him immediately after the incident. When he woke up several days later, he started to scream. He felt a few people touching his body, which was in pain, but he could not see them. "I heard voices of some people," he says. "I screamed. Few people came and talked to me. But I could not remember what they told. Still I did not know what happened to me." After he recovered, he says that the hospital staff told him that he had been in the mortuary of Jaffna Teaching Hospital for days because they had thought he was dead. "No one knows that I was alive," he says. "Once I screamed only the mortuary staff got to know that I was alive and forwarded me to hospital ward." He says he eventually realized he was in the hospital. "But I could not see anything," he says. "Then I realized that shells damaged my eyes." He underwent many operations, but the doctors said the nerves were too damaged for him to regain any vision. His father looked after him until he got married in 2008. "Still my father gives 5,000 rupees [$45] for my family every month, which he earns from his small cigarette-making business," he says. From September 2008 to April 2009, the year the conflict ended, Kumaradasan and his family were displaced seven different times. Finally, they ended up in Ramanadan camp for Internally Displaced Persons in Vavuniya district. He says his disability made the journey difficult. "At that time, my wife was pregnant," he says. "But she helped me lot with her all pains. We walked two kilometers on the water and getting to the buses." His daughter was born while they were living in the camp. "I [would] love to see the faces of my daughter and wife," he says. "But I cannot. I cannot do anything for them." He says he is at least grateful he has them in his life. "Now my little daughter calls me 'Appa,'" he says, which means father. "I'm happy at least I can listen to her voice." He always wears a pair of black spectacles because he does not want his young daughter to see his wounded eyes. His wife, Kamalini Kumaradasan, is a thin, young and spirited woman. She uses her husband's facial expressions to make sure he is always comfortable. "We return back to this village on June 19, 2010," she says. "This is my sister's land. We temporary settled here. One NGO helped us to build this temporary shelter. Our relatives are helping me to look after my husband and child." Kumaradasan receives a Public Assistance Monthly Allowance from the government every month. But he does not get any additional compensation for his disability because he doesn't have a police report from the incident. The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, the faction that was at war with the government, controlled Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu districts during the conflict, so there were no government police stations. But he says he has registered with the Social Services Department under the Ministry of Social Services and Social Welfare and is waiting for compensation. Although Sri Lanka's 26-year civil conflict ended several years ago, life is still a daily struggle for the large population of citizens who were disabled during the war. As the government continues to transition from relief to recovery this year, it is strengthening education and rehabilitation programs for those disabled in the war. These people say their biggest concerns are compensation and livelihood opportunities so that they can support their families. Civil conflict between the LTTE and the government plagued Sri Lanka for three decades in the Northern province. More than 1 million of people were displaced in the Mullaitivu and Kilinochchi districts, which were largely controlled by the LTTE, according to local media outlets. The Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees puts the number at 800,000. The government announced victory over the rebels in 2009, but life was forever changed for the many people who were disabled during the conflict from bombings, shelling attacks, land mine explosions and massacres. Out of the 218,773 people living in welfare centers for IDPs in Vavuniya, 4,912 incurred disabilities during the war, according to a 2009 assessment by the Ministry of Social Services and Social Welfare. Nearly 2,000 of these newly disabled people were from Kilinochchi district, like Kumaradasan. The U.N. refugee agency noted this year that trends signaling a shift from humanitarian relief to recovery and development last year would likely continue in 2012. Thiruchelvam Sivakumar, 25, is another victim who was disabled during the war. She now uses a wheelchair after a gunshot paralyzed her. "I cannot walk," she says. "I cannot do my work by myself. For each and every thing, I have to trouble to my husband." During the conflict, the LTTE enforced a custom in the Northern province that one person from each family had to join the rebels - despite whether they supported their cause. With no brothers, Sivakumar was forced to join the LTTE as the eldest child in her family. Sivakumar says she did not want to join the LTTE, so her parents decided to arrange her marriage because they thought it would enable her to avoid recruitment. But soon after the marriage, the rebels forced her to join them anyway. As she recalls the story, her facial expressions change and she begins to scream. She trained under the LTTE for one month, then escaped to her home. But a day later, the rebels came and forcibly took her back to training. "It was a very tough training," she says. "I learnt many things from them. But I was not happy. My husband and my parents were not with me." Three days later, she tried to escape again. Once again, the rebels dragged her back to training and punished her. A day later, she ran away from the training. This time, they opened fire on her. "They [shot] me," she says. "I can remember only that. When I got alive, I was at the Kilinochchi Hospital. I got to know that my spinal cord has injured, and I could not walk again." She says she underwent many operations and spent 2.5 months in the hospital. "But nothing happened," she says with tears in her eyes. "Still I am on the wheelchair." She says this incident occurred in August 2008 and was not the end of her troubles. "In February 2009, we got displaced due to the last incidents of conflict," she says. "We [were] displaced to four different places." In May 2009, they reached a camp in Vavuniya. "I do not like to remember," she says. "When we were displaced from here to Vavuniya, my husband suffered a lot. He is the one [who carried] me." She says she worries because she feels like she can't contribute to the relationship. "I cannot do anything for him," she says, starting to cry. She received a wheelchair from a nongovernmental organization, and the Social Services Department has helped build wheelchair-accessible facilities in her home. The government and nongovernmental organizations are also helping her family to construct a new house. Still, Sivakumar says it upsets her to be confined to a wheelchair when she sees others walking and doing their day-to-day activities. The Protection of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act serves to promote, advance and protect the rights of people with disabilities, also establishing the National Council for Persons with Disabilities to aid in this mission. The government later approved the National Policy for Persons with Disabilities in 2003. In 2006, Parliament passed regulations to increase accessibility for people with disabilities. In the Northern province, community-based rehabilitation programs for people with disabilities were set up soon after the conflict. Shantha Kumara, the national coordinator of community-based rehabilitation under the Ministry of Social Services and Social Welfare, says the institution's volunteers train people with disabilities to improve their daily activities. "We have trained 8,700 volunteers all over Sri Lanka on CBR program from 1997 to 2011," he says. He says the volunteers have been supporting the programs to capacitate those disabled during the conflict, in addition to serving people with disabilities nationwide. "Through this volunteer team, I believe that at least minimum of 30,000 persons with disabilities were reached," he says. Nishanthi Fernando, provincial coordinator of special education in the Northern province's Department of Education, says that after the conflict, the department established 10 special educations units in schools in Kilinochchi and allocated 10 teachers trained in special education. "We are trying to admit all the children with disabilities to special education units," he says. "But it's a big task because most of the parents do not want to send their children with disabilities to schools. They are thinking those children could not have good education. We are conducting awareness-raising programs for parents to overcome this issue and ensure the education rights of children with disabilities." More special education teachers are also receiving training every year both in Sinhala and Tamil languages. In 2011, there were 40 Sinhala and 41 Tamil teachers trained, according to the Non-formal and Special Education Branch of the Ministry of Education. Construction projects in Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu have also prioritized accessibility to public places for people with disabilities. For example, a newly built railway station and court complex are accessible to disabled citizens. The Kilinochchi district government collaborates with local governments to collect disabled citizens' information in order to assure them their rights. People disabled in the war say that their main concerns are compensation and a lack of livelihood opportunities.

Looking pretty slick, the "Noir" thing definitely gives the impression that something is about to happen. I'm having a little trouble with the clarity, though, since everything is so chopped up into black and white that it's hard to tell what we're looking at.
If you look at a lot at a lot of film noir,
the directors and cinematographers pay close attention to leaving in large blocks of value so it's clear what the audience is seeing.
What if you had some of the panels filled in less thoroughly, or had some of them divided into just two or three big blocks of black and white?
I'd definitely like to see more, though - some kind of conflict introduced or suggested. Is this the whole thing, or is this just the beginning of some larger story?

I think your work would be greatly improved by adding a mid tone gray. Then you could use the 100% white where something really needs to pop, like on the figure, or the reflection in the mirror. Post more when your done.

Thanks for the thoughts! Frogisis, I'll try larger blocks of black/white next time and try to make it more clear. This page definitely lost a lot of clarity when putting everything in one page too (did all the panels separately and then added them in). And yes, this is the beginning of a bigger story .
SMVidaurri, I was trying to stay away from gray for this project, but I'll give it a go.

He pasado cinco maravillosos días en casa de Fanny y Chris. Me han tratado genial, como uno más de la casa. La habitación está muy bien, tiene su ducha y lavabo. Es genial tomar un desayuno en la maravillosa terraza o pasear por la tarde por el centro de Montpellier
We had a wonderful stay with Fanny and Chris. They were so kind and welcoming and very helpful with instructions about getting around the city. Our room was clean and comfortable and we were provided with amenities such as shampoo and soap. Chris also very kindly helped us with the washing machine. If you are hoping to spend time at the beach this is a great location. It is very close to the tram that takes you to Perols. Chris and Fanny's home was beautiful and I recommend it highly! I would love to visit again.
Chris and Fanny were such warm and welcoming hosts. Upon arrival, Fanny was very generous with her time, showing us the local map and letting us know about things we could visit. The atmosphere in the house is very relaxed and friendly and we really felt at home, comfortable to have a tea or coffee, or watch some TV. The apartment itself is wonderful. It's a very attractive space with lovely decor. The balcony is lovely and relaxing. Our room was perfect - spacious, a cupboard for clothes, a desk, and our own shower. The view from the window is gorgeous and allows a nice breeze in during the warm weather. The location of the apartment is excellent and walking distance to most sights. We would have loved to stay longer!
Meine 6-jährige Tochter und ich haben uns sehr wohl bei Fanny und Chris gefühlt. Wir wurden herzlich empfangen - auch vom Hund - konnten Küche, Dachterrasse und Wohnzimmer frei mitbenutzen. Einige Tipps gab davon den Beiden auch. Das Zimmer mit Dusche war sauber und ruhig in den Hinterhof gelegen. Dort würden wir wieder ein paar Tage verbringen.
Super accueil, des personnes très sympathiques et conviviales, et de précieux et avisés conseils pour bien découvrir la ville et ses alentours!
Parfait rien à redire :)
Fanny and Chris were so warm and welcoming I felt like family. They also spent time going over the local map .... making recommendations as to where to go and what to see in Montpellier .....and the best way to get to my bus when it was time to leave. Chris was helpful with my heavy luggage and Fanny helped me start my day right with a cup of tea.
The room was spacious, very clean and the bed comfortable. The location was perfect for both taking a tram or walking around the old town. I had a very comfortable stay.
The apartment is in a great location and it is easy to walk around the city centre or hop on a tram to go further out. We were made to feel very welcome and my partner loved the chance to practice his French conversation. Our hosts were really helpful and informative about the city.
The room with its own shower ( the toilet is not en suite) was quite small as described but with a desk and lots of storage.
The city has lots to do with many small museums and galleries, places to walk and small shady squares.
This was our first experience of airbnb and it worked really well.

Old Sonics remind us of what we lost
Or, more specifically, what was stolen from Seattle
Originally Published: August 10, 2011By Duff McKagan | Special to ESPN.com
It has been a few years since we've even thought of a "Sonic" in Seattle. A few years before that, we couldn't have imagined the two words "Sonics" and "Seattle" being separate. But alas, and all of a sudden, the mean ol' NBA took the Seattle SuperSonics away.
It is hard to fathom, but it seems to be that the city of Seattle has gotten used to now being just a two-sport town (major sports, that is). It hasn't been easy, as this area simply has a legion of ardent and hard-core ...

A capsule pneumograph includes an electret microphone connected to a capsule chestpiece attached to a sleeping subject. The output of the microphone is connected to the input of a recorder or monitor in order to provide a system for the detection of respiratory movements in subjects during polysomnographic sleep monitoring. A tube connecting the capsule chestpiece to the microphone functions as a low pass filter to pass only low frequency signals in the range of respiratory movements from the chestpiece to the microphone.
1. A capsule pneumograph for detecting respiratory movement of a patient comprising:
(a) capsule means adapted to be interfaced with the skin of the patient at a selected position on the patient's body which entraps a quantity of air between said capsule means and said patient's skin, said quantity of air expanding or contracting in response to respiratory movements which cause expansion and contraction of the interfaced skin;
(b) a hermetically sealed microphone housing;
(c) tube means coupling the capsule means and hermetically sealed microphone housing into fluid communication with each other so that air pressure changes associated with the expansion and contraction of said entrapped air are transmitted as pressure signals from said capsule means to said microphone housing, the length and diameter of said tube means being selected to cause said tube means to pass pressure signals in a low frequency range associated with the frequency range of said respiratory movements and to block high frequency noise signals above said low frequency range; and
(d) electric microphone means disposed in said microphone housing for sensing the pressure signals in the low frequency range and generating output signals indicative thereof.
2. A capsule pneumograph according to claim 1, wherein said microphone housing is a cylindrical member.
3. A capsule pneumograph according to claim 2, wherein said cylindrical member has one end wall with said tube means passing through an opening in said end wall.
4. A capsule pneumograph according to claim 1, wherein said microphone is an electret condenser microphone.
5. A capsule pneumograph according to claim 1, wherein said capsule means is formed as a circular shallow cup having an open end with a flange around said open end for contacting the skin to entrap air in said cup.
6. A capsule pneumograph according to claim 5, wherein said cup has an annular side wall and said tube means passes through an opening in said side wall.
7. A capsule pneumograph according to claim 1, wherein said tube means has a length of 25 to 40 cm.
8. A capsule pneumograph according to claim 1, wherein said tube means has an internal diameter of 1.4 mm.
9. A capsule pneumograph according to claim 7, wherein said tube means has an internal diameter of 1.4 mm.
The present invention relates to a pneumograph, which is an instrument for sensing and measuring respiratory movements. More particularly, the present invention relates to the design and operation of a capsule pneumograph utilized for the detection of respiratory movements in subjects during polysomnographic sleep monitoring.
The pneumograph has been in use for years, with its usual construction being in the form of a rubber bellows connected to a chain or strap that encircles the chest so that respiratory movements expand and contract the bellows. The expansion and contraction of the bellows causes the pressure within the bellows to fall and rise in proportion to the chest excursion. The variations in pressure are sensed by a pressure transducer connected to the bellows by a tube.
The bellows pneumograph produces adequate results where an application requires knowledge of the phase and frequency, but not the precise depth, of respiration. Specifically, since this pneumograph encircles only the chest or abdomen, it can respond to movements in only one direction of a system that has two degrees of freedom. Also, the bellows pneumograph must be used with subjects in relatively fixed positions because uncontrolled body movements may increase or decrease the resting tension in the bellows, thus, changing the base line of the recording or even driving the transducer out of its useful range. If the strap slips, the respiratory movements may cease to be recorded at all. Another disadvantage of a bellows pneumograph is that a subject in a recumbent position may experience discomfort from lying on the chain, the strap or the bellows and, thus, have his freedom of movement limited. For these reasons, the bellows pneumograph has found little acceptance in sleep laboratories.
The prior art also includes the recent development of an apnea monitor that uses a pressure capsule as a motion sensor for use in the monitoring of infants. This development is described in "Long Term Respiration Monitoring in Infants--A Comparison of Impedance and Pressure Capsule Monitors" by R. Railton et al, Clin. Phys. Physiol. Meas., 1983; 4(1); 91-94.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a pressure capsule pneumograph which is simply constructed and conveniently used on sleeping subjects with little discomfort or restriction of sleeping position. In this regard, it is an object of the present invention to provide a system for the detection of respiratory movements in adults during polysomnographic sleep monitoring.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a device that, compared to the bellows pneumograph, is immune to base line shifts that are induced by body movements and is very simple to place on the subject, requiring no calibration.
It is an additional object of the present invention to provide a system that is less costly and is less complex than the known systems.
These and other objects of the present invention are fulfilled by providing a simple capsule pneumograph wherein an inexpensive electret condenser microphone is utilized. The microphone is connected to a small pressure capsule in such a way that it produces a reliable, easily interpreted and noise resistant signal reflecting respiratory movements of the chest wall or abdomen, depending on placement.
The design of the present invention is intended to accentuate the intrinsic low frequency response in the range of approximately 2-20 Hz. of the electret condenser microphone and diminish its higher frequency response above 20 Hz. to about 10-15 KHz. Thus, heart sounds, lung sounds, muscle noises and room noises are virtually excluded. This is accomplished by separating the capsule from the microphone by a 25 to 40 cm. section of thin plastic tubing having an internal diameter of 1.4 mm. and an outside diameter of 1.9 mm., which behaves as a low pass filter by attenuating rapidly oscillating air movement. In this regard, generally, the thinner and longer the tube, the higher the impedance to high frequency noise signals. It is also noted that the cavity that is made up by the capsule, the tubing and the microphone enclosure must be air-tight (hermetically sealed) in order to preserve the desired frequency characteristics.
Thus, when the system is in use, as the skin under the capsule chestpiece tightens and relaxes slightly with breathing, the pressure within the system rises and falls. These pressure variations, although very small, are converted into electrical signals by the microphone element and may be displayed and/or recorded.
The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given hereinbelow and the accompanying drawings which are given by way of illustration only, and thus are not limitative of the present invention, and wherein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a simple capsule pneumograph according to the present invention.
FIG. 2A is a graph showing a curve of pressure signals recorded by a recorder connected to a capsule pneumograph of the present invention.
FIG. 2B is a graph showing a curve of pressure signals recorded by a recorder connected to a bellows pneumograph.
FIG. 2C is a graph showing a curve of an airflow signal recorded by a recorder connected to a Fleisch pneumotachograph.
FIG. 2D is a graph of the air volume calculated from the air flow signal shown in FIG. 2C by integration.
FIG. 3A is a graph showing the output obtained from a capsule pneumograph during sleep study of a patient.
FIG. 3B is a graph showing the output obtained from a laryngeal sound envelope during sleep study of the same patient.
FIG. 3C is a graph showing the output obtained from an ear oximeter during sleep study of the same patient.
Referring in detail to the drawings, there is illustrated in FIG. 1 a pressure capsule pneumograph constructed in accordance with the invention using widely available, inexpensive components. The capsule chestpiece 10 is a rigid circular shallow plastic cup with a flange 12. The dimensions of the capsule, which are not critical, are 18 mm diameter and 3 mm depth. The capsule flange can be attached to the skin with a common double sided adhesive ECG tape ring.
One end 14 of a section of tubing 16 (Intramedic polyethylene tubing, PE-200, I.D. 1.4 mm, 0.D. 1.9 mm) is secured in a hole in the chestpiece 10 and fastened with a drop of cyanoacrylate adhesive (e.g. Superglue). This adhesive does not permanently fix the tubing to the chestpiece. A firm pull from the hole, which is just large enough to accept the tubing, will remove the tubing 16 for replacement should it become kinked or otherwise damaged.
The other end of the tubing section 16 is inserted into an opening in tip 20 of microphone housing 22. The housing 22 may be the anterior portion of the barrel of a 3 cc syringe (Stylex Syringe, cat. no. 7200, Pharmaseal Laboratories, Glendale, CA) cut approximately 4 cm from the top. The top opening may have to be dilated slightly in order to insert the tubing into the opening. After insertion, the tubing is fixed in place with another drop of cyanoacrylate adhesive and several strips of tape.
The microphone housing 22 contains a microphone 24 which is an electret microphone, for example Radio Shack Model #270-090, which is wrapped in a layer of plastic electrical tape in order to fit snugly into the housing 22. The microphone is connected to a voltage source and the input of a recorder or display device by a shielded cable 26. The power requirements of the capsule pneumograph are those of the microphone, that is, 3 to 10 volts DC and a maximal current drain of 1 milliampere. The output signal is approximately 0.2 v peak-to-peak. This is sufficient amplitude to be displayed on any common oscilloscope, strip chart or instrumentation recorder with little or no additional amplification. No filtering or waveform processing is necessary.
The intrinsic low frequency response of the electret condenser microphone 24 is accentuated and its high frequency response is diminished by making the tubing section 16 between the capsule chestpiece 10 and the microphone 24 from 25 to 40 cm in length so that this tubing behaves as a low pass filter by attenuating rapidly oscillating air movement.
In operation, the device is very sensitive and provides a useful signal from almost any location on the lower chest or upper abdomen. The site that has been found to provide the most consistently satisfactory signal is the right upper abdomen, immediately below the right costal margin. Although experience with infants has been more limited, virtually any location on the anterior or posterior abdomen or chest wall of the infant yields large deflections during tidal breathing. Cardiac artifact is virtually absent in the use of the present invention.
In order to monitor the subject, the chestpiece 10 is attached to the skin with a double adhesive ring and also covered with a strip of tape. In addition, the tubing section 16 is taped down so that it is not pulled loose or damaged during sleep.
As the skin under the chestpiece 10 tightens and relaxes slightly with breathing the pressure within the chestpiece rises and falls. These pressure variations are transmitted to the microphone housing 22 by the tubing 16. Although the pressure variations are very small, they are converted into electrical signals by the microphone 24 and may be displayed and/or recorded.
FIGS. 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D show the data obtained from a subject during tidal breathing by utilizing the present invention, a bellows pneumograph and a pheumotachograph.
FIG. 2A illustrates a graph showing a signal obtained with a capsule pneumograph of the present invention, while FIG. 2B illustrates a graph obtained with a bellows pneumograph. The capsule pneumograph was placed below the right costal margin and is shown to produce a usable signal. The bellows pneumograph was placed around the chest and connected to a pressure transducer (Stratham model 14159). The subject was semi-recumbent and breathed quietly through a Fleisch pneumotachograph which produced the airflow graph illustrated in FIG. 2C. The air volume illustrated in the graph of FIG. 2D was calculated from the airflow signal illustrated in FIG. 2C by integration.
Since the capsule pneumograph detects only local movement of the chest or abdomen, it is incapable of measuring indices of ventilation accurately. Thus, a second device must be used to detect ventilation, because the cessation of ventilation is the hallmark of apnea. It is known that the rectified and integrated laryngeal sound signal may be used as an index of airflow. In this regard, the combination of capsule pneumograph, laryngeal microphone and ear oximeter has been utilized as a simplified screening combination in a sleep laboratory.
FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C illustrate capsule pneumograph, laryngeal microphone and ear oximeter outputs respectively during sleep study in a patient with obstructive sleep apnea established by standard polysomnography. The monitoring is displayed in a time compressed format. The three signals were recorded on an instrumentation tape recorded (Hewlett Packard model 3964A) at a tape speed of 15/32 inches/sec. After completion of the study, the tape was played back at 32 times the original recording speed, digitized and displayed on a multichannel waveform analyzer (Data 6000, Data Precision Corp.) on a compressed time base. Four apneas, each approximately 30 seconds long, are apparent on the laryngeal microphone channel. Respiratory movements continued during the apneas as shown by the capsule pneumograph.
The capsule pneumograph using an electret microphone is comfortable, unobtrusive and minimally affected by changes in body position. It has performed satisfactorily on patients of all sizes and ages including obese adults and premature infants. In addition, the performance has been consistent regardless of the positions assumed by the patient during sleep, or the degree of restlessness of the patient.
The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
