  • Endoscopic device and system
    Patent number: 10064683
    Abstract: An endoscopic system may include a catheter or tubing and at least one optical sensor disposed along the catheter or tubing and configured to capture image information from a body lumen when disposed within the body lumen and activated. The system may further include an untethered module operatively arranged with the at least one optical sensor and configured to store or transmit image information captured by the at least one optical sensor. The catheter or tubing, at least one optical sensor and module may be portable during use.
    Type: Grant

  • Airflow and airway factors
    Patent number: 9848819
    Abstract: A method for characterizing sleep disordered breathing may include identification of at least one of a plurality of predefined airway structural sources associated with a sleep disordered breathing event based on airflow data. In one example, an identification of at least one of a plurality of predefined airway structural sources associated with a sleep disordered breathing event is made based on data indicative of a ratio of a difference between a peak inspiratory airflow rate and a mid-inspiratory airflow rate to the peak inspiratory airflow rate captured during occurrence of the sleep disordered breathing event.
