Publication number: 20240090775Abstract: An apparatus 100 for sensing a physiological parameter of a subject comprises a force sensor 102 configured to generate a first signal representing force displacement of an organ of the subject and a displacement sensor 104 associated with the force sensor 102. The displacement sensor 104 is configured to generate a second signal representing displacement velocity of the organ of the subject. A coupler 106 is arranged on one of the force sensor 102 and the displacement sensor 104, the coupler 106 being configured to mechanically couple the force sensor 102 and the displacement sensor 104 with the organ.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2020Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Gaetano GARGIULO, Emilio ANDREOZZI, Paolo BIFULCO, Daniele ESPOSITO

Patent number: 11291380Abstract: A blood volume monitor includes a carrier mountable on a subject's body part. A measuring arrangement is mounted on the carrier. The measuring arrangement provides data relating to a change in volume of the body part, and outputs signals representative of the change. A control unit is in communication with the measuring arrangement to process data output by the measuring arrangement to determine, using the volume data, the volume of the body part and determines blood volume in the body part. The control unit uses the response signals received from the measuring arrangement and the determined volume of the part of the body to determine the blood volume.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2014Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Inventors: Paul Breen, Gaetano Gargiulo

Publication number: 20210343368Abstract: The invention relates to methods for generating cell-type specific expression cassettes and reporter vectors, as well as nucleic acid constructs that can be generated by such methods. The cell-type specific expression cassettes and reporter vectors are characterized synthetic cis-regulatory DNA, also termed synthetic locus regions (sLCRs). sLCRs allow for a cell-type specific expression of reporter or effector genes. The invention further relates to various uses of the reporter vectors, including the determination of a property of a cell, preferably a cell type, state or fate transition, in gene and viral therapy, drug discovery or validation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2019Publication date: November 4, 2021Inventor: Gaetano Gargiulo

Patent number: 8838219Abstract: A pregnancy test system (10) includes a carrier (14) carrying a plurality of (sensors 12) arranged in a fixed relationship relative to one another. A signal processing (circuit 42) processes data sensed by the sensors (12) and outputs a data signal representative of the pregnancy status of an animal being examined. A support arrangement (24) supports the carrier (14) in a desired position relative to the animal. A positioning mechanism (26) is associated with the carrier (14) for positioning the carrier (14) at the desired position relative to the animal.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2011Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Heard Systems Pty LtdInventors: Jonathan Craig Tapson, Gaetano Gargiulo, Richard William Shepard

Patent number: 8652063Abstract: Equipment (10) for non-invasively measuring a physiological process includes at least one receiver (12) to be placed relative to a body of a subject being examined to detect at least one signal from the body of the subject. A discrimination unit (20.1) determines if the at least one signal is a signal of interest associated with the physiological process. A processor (20) processes the signal of interest to enhance the signal of interest and suppresses other received signals that are not of interest.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2010Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Heard Systems Pty LtdInventors: Gaetano Gargiulo, Jonathan Craig Tapson, Richard William Shephard
