Patent number: 11179075Abstract: A system includes a sensor, a second connector, a local processor, a first telemetry module, a second telemetry module, and a remote processor. The sensor is coupled to a cord and the cord has a first connector. The second connector is coupled to a housing. The second connector is configured to mate with the first connector. The local processor is coupled to the second connector and disposed in the housing. The local processor is configured to execute instructions stored in a local memory. The local memory is disposed in the housing. The local processor is configured to generate calculated data based on a signal received at the second connector. The signal corresponds to a parameter measured by the sensor. The first telemetry module is coupled to the local processor and is configured to wirelessly communicate the calculated data. The second telemetry module is configured to communicate with the first telemetry module. The remote processor is coupled to the second telemetry module.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2013Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: Nonin Medical, Inc.Inventors: David A. Meyer, Timothy L. Johnson, Bryant Austin Jones

Patent number: 10709368Abstract: A system includes a mobile computing device, a sleeve, a contact surface, a sensor module, and a telemetry module. The mobile computing device has a first processor within a housing. The sleeve has an internal surface configured to fit the housing. The contact surface is disposed on an external surface of the sleeve. The sensor module is coupled to the contact surface and is configured to generate an electrical signal corresponding to a measured physiological parameter associated with tissue at the contact surface. The telemetry module is coupled to the sensor module and is configured to communicate data corresponding to the electrical signal to the mobile computing device.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Nonin Medical, Inc.Inventors: Timothy L. Johnson, Bryant Austin Jones, Christopher Holland

Publication number: 20180235526Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for measuring one or more parameters at a tissue site of a patient are disclosed. The system can include a sensor that can be configured to measure a first physiological parameter. The physiological parameter can be associated with oxygenation of arterial blood. A second physiological parameter can be associated with respiration of the patient. The system can include a processor that can be configured to use the first and second physiological parameters to determine a waveform associated with the oxygenation of the arterial blood, and the processor can be configured to compensate for a signal artifact associated with motion of the tissue site.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2016Publication date: August 23, 2018Inventors: Bryant Austin Jones, Eric Danielson, Gregory J. Rausch, Marcus A. Kramer

Patent number: 9480408Abstract: A device includes a guard member, at least one bias sensor, a display, and a measurement sensor. The guard member includes an aperture on an axis. The at least one bias sensor is coupled to the guard member. The at least one bias sensor is configured to provide a bias signal corresponding to a bias force on the guard member. The bias force is aligned parallel with the axis. The display is coupled to the at least one bias sensor and is configured to provide a visible indication of the bias force. The measurement sensor is configured to provide an output signal corresponding to a measured force proximate the aperture.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2012Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Nonin Medical, Inc.Inventors: Philip O. Isaacson, Bryant Austin Jones, Timothy L. Johnson

Patent number: 9254087Abstract: A device includes a clamp and a sensor. The sensor can be permanently attached to the clamp and tissue by the force exerted by the clamp. The clamp includes a first jaw member and a second jaw member. The first jaw member has a jaw face and the second jaw member has a complementary face. The second jaw member is held in alignment with the first jaw member by a joint. The joint has an elastic member configured to exert a compressive force between the jaw face and the complementary face. The joint is configured to allow movement of the jaw face relative to the complementary face in directions corresponding to pitch, roll, yaw, and heave. The compressive force is distributed over a surface of the jaw face. The sensor is coupled to the jaw face or held in place by the compressive force of the jaw face. The sensor is configured to generate a sensor signal corresponding to a physiological parameter of tissue proximate the jaw face.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2014Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: Nonin Medical, Inc.Inventors: Philip O. Isaacson, Bryant Austin Jones, Timothy L. Johnson, Christopher Holland, Matthew Prior
