Abstract

The present invention relates to a time indicator to repeatedly monitor lapsed time after a preceding event or remaining time up to a subsequent event relative to a maximum period between the preceding event and the subsequent event, comprising: —a display configured to output an indication of lapsed or remaining time of the maximum period; —a controller connected to the display and configured: to monitor time; to accept an indication of an occurrence of the subsequent event; to reset the lapsed or remaining time relative to the maximum period upon occurrence of the subsequent event; and to drive the display to output the reset lapsed or remaining time relative to the maximum period.

Claims (7)

1. A measurement device, comprising:

an array of sensors comprising a plurality of presence sensors and a plurality of liveliness sensors, wherein each of the plurality of liveliness sensors comprises an ECG-system, a heart rate sensor, or a breathing rate sensor; and

a plurality of concentrators in adjacent spaced-apart relationship, wherein each concentrator comprises a pivot and a contact portion located at a lever distance from the pivot, wherein each concentrator extends over a respective one of the plurality of presence sensors and a respective one of the plurality of liveliness sensors and is pivotably arranged in the measurement device by the pivot, wherein the contact portion of each concentrator is configured to contact the respective one of the plurality of presence sensors in response to concentrator pivotal movement, wherein each concentrator comprises a resilient area at or near the respective liveliness sensor, and wherein the resilient area has a stiffness that is less than a stiffness of the contact portion.

2. The measurement device of claim 1 , wherein, for each concentrator, the respective presence sensor is located a further distance from the pivot than the respective liveliness sensor.

3. The measurement device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of concentrators pivot about a pivot line that extends along a longitudinal direction of the measurement device.

4. The measurement device of claim 1 , wherein the lever distance is at least half of a length of each concentrator in a direction transverse to a pivot axis of each concentrator.

5. The measurement device of claim 1 , wherein, for each concentrator, the pivot is located at a first edge of the concentrator and the contact portion is located at an opposite edge of the concentrator.
