Publication number: 20140343448Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems are described for determining respiration through impedance measurements using only two electrodes. A drive signal may be applied to a person, using only two electrodes. Using the same electrodes, the fluctuations in the voltage of the drive signal are determined. The voltage fluctuations in the drive signal are the result of impedance variations in the person's thoracic cavity due to respiration. Therefore, the voltage fluctuations may be used to determine a respiration rate of the person. In doing so, the voltage fluctuations may be digitized using a sampling rate that is much less than the frequency of the applied drive signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2014Publication date: November 20, 2014Applicant: Zephyr Technology CorporationInventors: BRIAN KEITH RUSSELL, JONATHAN JAMES WOODWARD, AMIT KUMAR MUKHERJEE, DANIEL WAYNE BARTLETT, CHRIS SOLOMON

Publication number: 20140340219Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems are described for monitoring physiological parameters by using one or more sensors at a person. First and second physiological parameters of the person are monitored. A determination may be made, at the one or more sensors, that at least one of the first and second physiological parameters has crossed a threshold. An alert event may be generated at the one or more sensors, based on the crossed thresholds. The alert event may then be transmitted to a computing device that is separate from the one or more sensors.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2014Publication date: November 20, 2014Applicant: Zephyr Technology CorporationInventors: BRIAN KEITH RUSSELL, JONATHAN JAMES WOODWARD, AMIT KUMAR MUKHERJEE, DANIEL WAYNE BARTLETT, BENJAMIN MORRIS

Patent number: 8400302Abstract: A sensing system is disclosed that uses at least one conductive plate and associated electronic circuitry to provide an output that is indicative of an object's position in relation to the at least one conductive plate. The sensing system is provided with a high impedance drive signal that varies as a result of the location of an object relative to the at least one conductive plate. The electronic circuitry receives a high impedance drive signal value as an input and a processor uses the value to calculate a digital output indicative of the object's position. The high impedance drive signal value is monitored over time enabling the objects position, displacement, pressure, movement, impact and energy to be determined. This data is output to a display and may also be transmitted to a person located remotely from the object being monitored.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2010Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Zephyr Technology CorporationInventors: Brian Keith Russell, Paul Benjamin Mallinson, Stephen Christopher Kent, Christopher Michael Solomon

Patent number: 8079247Abstract: An impact detection system provides a means of sensing, monitoring and recording impact events on an impact surface using at least one sensor that is incorporated into the impact surface. The sensor(s) can be integral with, attached to or located behind various types of impact surface including various types of garments that can be worn by an individual or on composite materials such as an aircraft fuselage for example. The impact detection system includes a portable impact detection device electrically connected to the sensor(s) and is used to detect ballistic or non-ballistic type impacts on the impact surface. The portable impact detection device processes the impact data detected by the sensor(s) and stores the data for analysis at a later time or outputs the data to a third party system for review and/or analysis.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2007Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: Zephyr Technology CorporationInventors: Brian Keith Russell, Paul Benjamin Mallinson, Stephen Christopher Kent, Christopher Michael Solomon
