Week 10 - Patent Claims

The patent I will talk about here is the Quantitative tool using impedance spectroscopy to monitor fracture healing.

Claim 1 describes the electrical system which monitors the bone. It is composed of two electrodes, with an electrical connection, a variable frequency power supply, and a circuit. With these tools, it calculates the complex spectrum. 

Claims 2 through 9 indicate different aspects of claim 1, giving more specifics.

Claim 10 specifies how to indicate the degree of the healing process. BY using alternating electrical signals, between two sets of impedance spectrum, and comparing them. Claim 11-18 describe this into more detail.
