Patent number: 10758156Abstract: An improved device for monitoring respiration or other vital signs of a user using one or more sensors. The invention may be worn within the mouth of the user to allow more accurate, direct, and fast measurements. The invention may also include a distribution mechanism that may be used to administer a substance such as medication. The substance may be administered in response to data collected by one or more of the sensors in the device and/or in response to data received from another device.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2019Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Child Mind Institute, Inc.Inventor: Curtis P. White

Patent number: 7340125Abstract: A device and method for collecting subject responses, particularly during magnetic imaging experiments and testing using a method such as functional MRI. The device comprises a non-metallic input device which is coupled via fiber optic cables to a computer or other data collection device. One or more optical switches transmit the subject's responses. The input device keeps the subject's fingers comfortably aligned with the switches by partially immobilizing the forearm, wrist, and/or hand of the subject. Also a robust nonmetallic switch, particularly for use with the input device and methods for optical switching.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2006Date of Patent: March 4, 2008Assignee: The MIND InstituteInventor: Michael Doty
