- the characteristic is the flow rate of the flowing fluid.
- the device 1 is particularly suitable for measuring the flow rate of air, for example, air inhaled and exhaled by a subject during the inspiratory and expiratory phases of a breathing cycle.
- the device 1 comprises a body member formed by an elongated tubular member 2 which defines an elongated bore 3 of circular transverse cross-section extending from an upstream end 5 to a downstream end 6 which forms a passageway for accommodating air or other fluid, the flow rate of which is to be monitored.

- the downstream end 6 of the bore 3 is open to atmosphere.
- upstream and downstream are not intended to give an indication of the direction of flow of fluid through the bore 3, since the direction of flow will change depending on whether the subject is breathing in the inspiratory or expiratory phase of a breathing cycle.
- a deformable membrane 8, which is deformable in response to the rate of flow of air flowing through the bore 3 extends into and transversely across the bore 3.
- the membrane 8 comprises a pair of piezo electric sheets of opposite polarity which are laminated together to form a piezo electric film.
- Such piezo electric films are sold under the Trade Mark KYNAR.
- the piezo electric film provides an output voltage which is proportional to the amount of deformation of the membrane 8.
- the membrane 8 is an elongated membrane extending between a first end 10 at which the membrane is anchored and secured in the tubular member 2 and a second end, namely, a free end 11 which is free to move in the upstream or downstream direction within the bore 3 as the membrane 8 is deformed by air flowing through the bore 3.

- the area of the membrane 8 which is presented to air flowing through the bore 3 when the membrane 8 is undeformed is approximately 75% of the transverse cross-sectional area of the bore 3.
- the membrane 8 is resilient and forms a bending element or a "bimorph", and since the membrane 8 is of a piezo electric material, the membrane 8 acts as a sensing means which outputs an analogue electronic signal, namely, a voltage proportional to the degree of bending of the membrane 8 between its first end 10 and its free end 11.
- the degree to which the membrane 8 bends is proportional to the rate of flow of the air through the bore 3, and thus the output voltage is proportional to the flow rate of air through the bore 3.
- Electrical connections are made to the membrane 8 in a sub-housing 15 from which the membrane 8 extends into the bore 3, and a two-wire cable 16 from the connections (not shown) outputs the voltage which is proportional to the amount of bending of the membrane 8.

Additionally, suitable software in the computer may be provided for monitoring the air flow through the bore 3, so that if the rate of airflow falls below a predetermined level for a predetermined period of time an alarm is activated for indicating insufficient respiration by the subject.
- the membrane 8 bends in proportion to the rate of air flow through the bore.
- the membrane 8 alternately bends in a generally upstream or a generally downstream direction, depending on whether the breathing cycle of the subject is at the inspiratory or expiratory phase. However, this does not affect the electronic signal outputted on the cable 16 from the membrane 8.
- the analogue signal on the cable 16 from the membrane 8 is converted to a digital signal in the analogue to digital converter 20 from which a corresponding digital output signal is outputted on the digital output 21 of the analogue to digital converter 20.
- Figs. 6 and 7 the use of the device 1 according to the invention in a respiratory monitor according to the invention indicated generally by the reference numeral 30 for monitoring breathing of a subject and also for training a subject to breathe correctly will now be described.

- the microprocessor 34 of the computer 35 is appropriately programmed for converting the digital signals which represent the flow rate in real time into a graphical representation, which in turn is displayed on a display monitor 37.
- a typical graphical representation of the flow rate of air being inhaled and exhaled in real time by a subject suffering from asthma who is incorrectly breathing is illustrated by the curve A of Fig. 7.
- the curve A illustrates three breathing cycles of the subject.
- a non-volatile random access memory 38 stores in binary form a graphical representation of the flow rate of two reference breathing cycles which are ideal breathing cycles.
- a graphical representation of the flow rate of the two reference ideal breathing cycles are illustrated by the curve B of Fig. 7.
- the microprocessor 34 is programmed to simultaneously display the graphical representation B of the ideal breathing cycles along with the graphical representation A of the breathing cycles of the subject which are displayed in real time, so that the subject can compare his or her breathing cycles with ideal breathing cycles. Additionally, by virtue of the fact that the graphical representation of the breathing cycles of the subject is displayed in real time, the subject can correct his or her breathing by altering breathing so that the curve A more closely approximates to the curve B.
- the trace of the curve A as it is being displayed in real time will be displayed by a cursor, which may be a small dot progressively tracing the curve A.
- the cursor may be an animation character, device or the like which will trace the curve A in real time.
- the respective graphical representations A and B may be displayed on the monitor 37 to form a type of game, whereby the graphical representation of the reference ideal flow rate will be illustrated as a river of substantially sinusoidal shape similar to that of the curve B, and the graphical representation of the breathing cycle of the subject in real time as the breathing progresses will be illustrated by an image of a boat which would trace the curve A.
- the subject in order to correct his or her breathing would have to alter breathing so that the boat which would be tracing the curve A would remain within the river represented by curve B.
- the device 1 as well as being suitable for monitoring respiration of a subject, may also be used for creating musical sound.
- a computer such as, for example, a suitably programmed PC the signals could be converted to musical sounds and intonations.
- musical sounds and intonations such as melodies by blowing or sucking air through the bore 3 at rates and pressures which would generate signals for in turn generating musical sounds which would be proportional to the rate of flow and/or direction of the air flowing through the bore 3.
- the device according to the invention has been described for monitoring respiration in a subject, it will of course be appreciated that the device may be used for determining other characteristics in other flowing fluids, for example, other gases or liquids.
- any suitable face mask may be provided for communicating inhaled and exhaled air by the subject through the fluid accommodating bore of the device according to the invention.
- a mask may be provided which would alternately select air being inhaled through the nose of the subject and exhaled through the mouth of the subject, the nose and mouth would be selectively communicated to the fluid accommodating bore during the respective inspiratory phase and the expiratory phase, respectively of each breathing cycle.
- Such a mask would be particularly useful where it is desired to train a subject to inhale through his or her nose, and exhale through his or her mouth.
