Abstract[English]
Alternating electric fields (e.g., tumor treating fields or TTFields) can be applied to a subject's body using electrode assemblies that are made from two discrete subassemblies, which are removably and adhesively connectable to each other. As long as the two subassemblies remain in intimate contact (which can be determined, e.g., by measuring an electrical resistance or an optical reflectance), the system applies an AC voltage to the electrode assemblies. But if (a) the subassemblies within any given electrode assembly become separated (or even begin to separate), or (b) the subassemblies within any given electrode assembly are not aligned correctly, then the system will turn off the AC voltage to that electrode assembly.[French]
Selon la présente invention, des champs électriques alternatifs (par exemple, des champs de traitement de tumeur ou TTFields) peuvent être appliqués au corps d'un sujet à l'aide d'ensembles électrodes qui sont fabriqués à partir de deux sous-ensembles discrets, qui peuvent être reliés de manière amovible et adhésive l'un à l'autre. Tant que les deux sous-ensembles restent en contact intime (qui peut être déterminé, par exemple, par mesure d'une résistance électrique ou d'une réflectance optique), le système applique une tension alternative aux ensembles électrodes. Mais si (a) les sous-ensembles à l'intérieur de n'importe quel ensemble électrode donné se séparent (voire commencent à se séparer), ou (b) les sous-ensembles à l'intérieur de n'importe quel ensemble électrode donné ne sont pas alignés correctement, alors le système va éteindre la tension alternative vers cet ensemble électrode.
