Patent number: 9189941Abstract: A system (202) generates patient alarms using a stepped alarm scheme. The system (202) includes one or more processors (220) programmed to receive physiological scores and/or physiological parameter values; compare the physiological scores and/or the physiological parameter values to a plurality of alarm levels; in response to a physiological score and/or physiological parameter value falling within an uninhibited zone of the alarm levels, issue an alarm; and set a first inhibition period for the uninhibited alarm level after issuing the alarm.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2012Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Larry James Eschelman, Bastiaan Feddes, Abigail Acton Flower, Nicolaas Lambert, Kwok Pun Lee, Davy Hin Tjiang Tjan, Stijn De Waele, Brian David Gross, Joseph J.

Patent number: 8937481Abstract: The invention relates to a capacitive sensing apparatus for sensing an object, wherein the capacitive sensing apparatus comprises a capacitive sensor (2) for capacitively sensing the object (3) and an enclosure (4) for enclosing the capacitive sensor (2). The enclosure (4) comprises a contact side (6) for contacting the object (3) during sensing, wherein the enclosure (4) and the capacitive sensor (2) are adapted for sensing the object (3) by the capacitive sensor (2) through the contact side (6) of the enclosure (4). The enclosure (4) and the capacitive sensor (2) are separable from each other for using the capacitive sensor (2) as a reusable device and for using the enclosure (4) as a disposable device. This allows capacitively sensing an object with a new, uncontaminated enclosure (4) and a reused capacitive sensor (2) and, thus, under improved hygienic conditions.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2010Date of Patent: January 20, 2015Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Bastiaan Feddes, Lena Gourmelon, Mohammed Meftah

Patent number: 8847613Abstract: A capacitive sensing system (1) which includes an electrical charge providing unit (4) like an electret foil for providing a permanent electrical charge at a sensing site (6) of the object (3) and a capacitive sensor (2) including a sensing electrode (5) for generating a sensing signal by capacitively sensing the object (3) at the sensing site (6) of the object (3). By providing a permanent electrical charge at the sensing site (6) of the object (3), the bias between the object (3) and the sensing electrode (5) of the capacitive sensor (2) is intentionally preferentially made large, thereby increasing the sensitivity towards mechanical motions. The resulting sensing signal substantially caused by these mechanical motions between the object (3) and the sensing electrode (5) is generally larger than a signal generated substantially by an electrophysiological field.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2010Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Mohammed Meftah, Bastiaan Feddes

Patent number: 8823527Abstract: A method for automatically monitoring consciousness of a person and triggering an alarm if the monitored person is not in a state of full consciousness is provided. The method comprises the steps: monitoring at least one aspect of the behavior of the person (S1); analyzing whether the monitored behavior of the person corresponds to an expected behavior for a state of full consciousness or not (S2, S2?); triggering an alarm if the analysis results in that the detected behavior does not correspond to the expected behavior (S3).Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2010Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Sri Andari Husen, Bastiaan Feddes, Thomas Falck, Constant Paul Marie Jozef Baggen, Andre Melon Barroso, Mark Thomas Johnson, Nicolaas Lambert, Victor Martinus Gerardus Van Acht

Publication number: 20120320079Abstract: A system intuitively displays medical data of a patient. The system includes a display and one or more processors. The processors are programmed to receive medical data for the patient. The medical data includes one or more medical values for one or more parameters affecting the health or wellbeing of the patient. The processors are further programmed to display a clock-like face on the display and display the medical values on the display overlaid on the clock-like face. Time for a medical value is represented as a position around a center of the clock-like face, and magnitude for a medical value is represented as deviation from the center of the clock-like face.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2012Publication date: December 20, 2012Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventor: Bastiaan FEDDES

Publication number: 20110105874Abstract: A system comprises a capacitive sensing unit for capturing an electrophysiological signal from a body part. The capacitive sensing unit includes a first electrode plate that forms a capacitor with the body part. Motion of the electrode plate with respect to the body part may be detected by a motion sensitive unit mechanically coupled to the capacitive sensing unit. The motion sensitive unit detects motion by self-mixing interferometry. Then, a processing unit rejects the electrophysiological signal if a great displacement of the electrode plate is detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2008Publication date: May 5, 2011Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Bastiaan Feddes, Alexander Padiy, Cristian Presura
