Publication number: 20230240542Abstract: A method of monitoring a patient's foot forms a thermogram of the sole of at least one foot of the patient, and determines whether the thermogram presents at least one of a plurality of prescribed patterns. The method also compares the thermogram against a prior thermogram of the same foot, and produces output information indicating the emergence of an ulcer on a given portion on the at least one foot as a function of 1) whether the thermogram is determined to present the at least one pattern, and 2) the comparison with the prior thermogram, which shows non-ulcerated tissue at the given location.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: David Robert Linders, Jonathan David Bloom, Jeffrey Mark Engler, Brian Jude Petersen, Adam Geboff, David Charles Kale

Patent number: 10372271Abstract: The adjustment of stimulation signal amplitudes in capacitive touch sensor panels and/or styli to reduce power consumption while preserving satisfactory touch performance is disclosed, in particular in situations where the noise level is not significant and there is excess SNR margin. To accomplish this, one or more metrics can be measured, calculated or otherwise determined to use as a predictor of touch performance, and these metrics can be processed to determine the minimum stimulation voltage required to maintain acceptable touch performance.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2014Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jacob L. Matlick, Adam Geboff

Publication number: 20190095006Abstract: Power consumption of touch sensing operations for touch sensitive devices can be reduced by implementing a coarse scan (e.g., banked common mode scan) to coarsely detect the presence or absence of an object touching or proximate to a touch sensor panel and the results of the coarse scan can be used to dynamically adjust the operation of the touch sensitive device to perform or not perform a fine scan (e.g., targeted active mode scan). In some examples, the results of the coarse scan can be used to program a touch controller for the next touch sensing frame to idle when no touch event is detected or to perform a fine scan when one or more touch events are detected. In some examples, the results of the coarse scan can be used to abort a scheduled fine scan during the current touch sensing frame when no touch event is detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2018Publication date: March 28, 2019Inventors: Shahrooz SHAHPARNIA, Christopher Tenzin MULLENS, Martin Paul GRUNTHANER, Adam GEBOFF, Vivek PANT, Marduke YOUSEFPOR, Christoph H.

Patent number: 9848069Abstract: Time synchronization between a central wireless communication device and a peripheral wireless communication device is described. Events associated with an application are time stamped at the central wireless communication device, and one or more link layer messages are sent to the peripheral wireless communication device to provide time stamp information to replicate the event timing at the peripheral wireless communication device. A first link layer message includes information about an internal Bluetooth clock to calibrate a corresponding internal clock value at the peripheral wireless communication device. A second link layer message includes information about a current value for the Bluetooth clock and also a value for an offset that provides a time position at a finer granularity than the Bluetooth clock within a timeslot specified by the Bluetooth clock value.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2014Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Adam Geboff, Sriram Hariharan, Joakim Linde, Li-Quan Tan, Shahrooz Shahparnia

Patent number: 9259178Abstract: A method of monitoring at least one foot of a patient provides an open platform for receiving at least one foot. The open platform has at least one temperature sensor for generating a plurality of temperature data values after receipt of the at least one foot. The method also forms a thermogram of the sole of the at least one foot from the temperature data values, and determines whether the thermogram presents at least one of a plurality of prescribed patterns. Finally, the method produces output information indicating the risk of an ulcer emerging on the foot as a function of whether the thermogram is determined to present the at least one prescribed pattern.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Podimetrics, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan David Bloom, David Robert Linders, Jeffrey Mark Engler, Brian Jude Petersen, Adam Geboff, David Charles Kale
