  • Patent number: 12000702
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a vehicle attitude estimated as a function of predicted acceleration from the vehicle control system. In an illustrative example, a weighting module may dynamically combine IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) with sensor motion data motion profile information from the vehicle control system. The weighting module may receive the predicted acceleration information via a data link with the vehicle control system. The dynamic weighting of inputs may be processed by an attitude estimator. An estimated attitude may be supplied to a display device, for example, to represent a real-time spatial orientation of the vehicle with respect to the gravity vector.

  • Patent number: 11662227
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to cascaded sets of two or more individual permanent magnets distributed in a predetermined spatial relationship on a source carrier configured to translate proximate two or more magnetic field sensors distributed in a predetermined spatial relationship on a reference carrier. In an illustrative example, the permanent magnets may be arranged in at least two predetermined orientations. For example, each of the permanent magnets may direct its field in a predetermined orientation to produce a unique output code from a set of the magnetic field sensors. The output code may, for example, uniquely identify a relative position between the source carrier and the reference carrier. The magnetic field sensors may be, for example, anisotropic magneto-resistive elements. Cascaded sets of permanent magnets may cost-effectively increase the dynamic range of the relative position between the source carrier and the reference carrier by adding additional magnetic targets.

  • Publication number: 20220095940
    Abstract: The invention provides an intravenous (IV) dressing system that helps secure an IV catheter to a patient while simultaneously using embedded peripheral venous pressure (PVP), impedance, temperature, optical, and motion sensors to characterize properties of the IV system (e.g., infiltration, extravasation, occlusion) and the patient's physiological parameters (e.g., heart rate, SpO2, respiration rate, temperature, and blood pressure). Notably, the system converts PVP waveforms into arterial BP values (e.g., systolic and diastolic blood pressure).

  • Publication number: 20210401297
    Abstract: The invention provides an IV system for monitoring a patient that is positioned on the patient's body. The IV system includes: 1) a catheter that inserts into the patient's venous system; 2) a pressure sensor connected to the catheter that measures physiological signals indicating a pressure in the patient's venous system; 3) a motion sensor that measures motion signals; and 4) a processing system that: i) receives the physiological signals from the pressure sensor; ii) receives the motion signals from the motion sensor; iii) processes the motion signals by comparing them to a pre-determined threshold value to determine when the patient has a relatively low degree of motion; and iv) process the physiological signals to determine a physiological parameter when the processing system determines that the motion signals are below the pre-determined threshold value.
