Publication number: 20230255542Abstract: A patch for sensing distinct conditions indicative of a physiological response is described. The patch includes a base for attaching to a region of skin undergoing a physiological response. The patch also includes a first sensor provided on the base that detects a first condition indicative of the physiological response of the region of skin, a second sensor provided on the base that detects a second condition indicative of the physiological response, and a third sensor provided on the base that detects a third condition indicative of the physiological response. The first sensor, the second sensor, and the third sensor are each distinct sensor modalities that detect distinct conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Len T.

Patent number: 10678261Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to controlling an autonomous vehicle in a variety of unique circumstances. These include adapting control strategies of the vehicle based on discrepancies between map data and sensor data obtained by the vehicle. These further include adapting position and routing strategies for the vehicle based on changes in the environment and traffic conditions. Other aspects of the disclosure relate to using vehicular sensor data to update hazard information on a centralized map database. Other aspects of the disclosure relate to using sensors independent of the vehicle to compensate for blind spots in the field of view of the vehicular sensors. Other aspects of the disclosure involve communication with other vehicles to indicate that the autonomous vehicle is not under human control, or to give signals to other vehicles about the intended behavior of the autonomous vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2015Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Aptiv Technologies LimitedInventor: Craig A.

Publication number: 20080149114Abstract: The Awake Airway is an oral device designed with two arches to gently hold both the maxillary and mandibular dental arches in a fixed position angled slightly open in such a way as to not stimulate any part of the oral cavity or oropharynx so a fully wide awake user would tolerate it. It would be made of a resilient material such as a soft plastic with a foam insert to hold the teeth or edentulous arches. It is shaped to conform to the teeth and maxillary and mandibular anatomy, and easily inserted by the user him/herself By gently maintaining the mouth slightly open it would enhance the patency of the airway.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2006Publication date: June 26, 2008Inventor: Charles Craig Baldwin

By gently maintaining the mouth slightly open it would enhance the patency of the airway. It's usefulness would include that of a clinical airway in awake to sedated or anesthetized or obtunded patients that may be more flexible than currently available airway support devices since it may be tolerated until the user is fully awake.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2006Publication date: June 26, 2008Inventor: Charles Craig Baldwin

Patent number: 6513854Abstract: A method for adhering/bonding a frame profile (e.g., weather strip, water seal, spacer, etc.) to a substrate (e.g., glass or plastic substrate) in the context of a vehicle window unit. An extruded frame profile is cut, notched, and/or heated in order to create a corner portion thereof that will more easily conform to a corner area of the substrate. In certain embodiments, a V-shaped notch may be cut in the profile, while in other embodiments the profile may be mitered. In still further embodiments, the profile may be heated in order to enable a corner area thereof to more easily bend/stretch at a corner area of the substrate to which it is bonded/attached. The profile may be bonded/attached to the substrate via double sided tape, via selectively heat-activatable adhesive, or any other suitable adhesive.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2001Date of Patent: February 4, 2003Assignees: Centre Luxembourgeois de Recherches pour le Verre et la Ceramique S.A.
