  • Patent number: 11980459
    Abstract: A pulse sensor is capable of measuring a pulse rate of a wearer at a peripheral artery. In an embodiment, the pulse sensor includes a magnet supported to move responsive to an arterial pulse and a magnetometer configured to detect changes in a magnetic field produced by the magnet. The magnet may include a plurality of ferromagnetic particles disposed in or on a flexible substrate configured to be held adjacent to human skin subject to arterial palpation and a magnetic sensor configured to sense movement of the ferromagnetic particles. A system and method may measure hydration includes using a pulse sensor to measure pulse rate and modulation. The wearer is prompted when the pulse rate and pulse modulation indicate a response to dehydration of the wearer.

  • Patent number: 11747407
    Abstract: An electronic circuit triage device diagnoses functionality of various electronic circuits of an electronic device. The electronic circuit triage device detects whether an electronic circuit is functioning properly by measuring a magnetic field pattern associated with the electronic circuit and comparing the magnetic field pattern to an expected magnetic field pattern. A magnetic sensor array includes non-packaged magnetic sensors disposed on a substrate. The non-packaged magnetic sensors can include bare dice, in one embodiment. In another embodiment, the magnetic sensors are formed directly on the substrate, such as by printing conductive traces on the substrate. In another embodiment, a magnetic sensor array includes a magnetic field converter configured to launch received magnetic fields along an axis corresponding to a magnetic sensor maximum sensitivity.

  • Patent number: 10466290
    Abstract: An automated circuit test system includes a magnetic sensor array configured to measure, at a plurality of locations, a magnetic field induced by a circuit under test. A circuit drive module can energize the circuit under test to induce the magnetic field. Optionally, the circuit drive module detects an electrical response from the circuit under test. Optionally, magnetic field data is combined with electrical response data prior to outputting the test result.

  • Patent number: 10295616
    Abstract: According to embodiments, multi-axis magnetic sensors (magnetometers) are disposed in an array or a plurality of arrays. The magnetic sensors can be disposed on modules that form the array. The magnetic sensors can each sense a local magnetic field coincident with the respective sensors. Data corresponding to the local magnetic fields can be analyzed by a magnetic field analysis circuit and assembled to form an image corresponding to the sensed magnetic field(s). The magnetic field analysis circuit can output the image corresponding to near-field magnetic features.

  • Patent number: 6181302
    Abstract: A system including binoculars augmented with a computer-generated virtual display of navigation information (hereinafter referred to as “nav glasses”) and marine navigation systems employing such binoculars. The computer-generated display is superimposed on the real world image available to the user. Nav glasses also have the components needed to link them to a navigation system computer which is utilized to generate the see-through display of the navigation information. They are preferably equipped with sensors compass and an inclinometer for acquiring azimuth and inclination information needed by the navigation computer and a sensor for measuring any magnification of the field of view. The nav glasses can be employed to lock onto a moving target, which can then be tracked by onboard radar. The navigation system in which the nav glasses are incorporated also accept inputs from other sources such as a shipboard compass, a GPS, and other navigation aids; and a route planning system.

The computer-generated display is superimposed on the real world image available to the user. Nav glasses also have the components needed to link them to a navigation system computer which is utilized to generate the see-through display of the navigation information. Also, they typically are equipped with instruments such as fluxgate compass and an inclinometer for acquiring azimuth and inclination information needed by the navigation computer and a sensor for measuring any magnification of the field of view. In appropriately configured navigation systems, the nav glasses can be employed to lock onto a moving target, which can then be tracked by onboard radar.
