Patent number: 11741931Abstract: An electronic stethoscope device can be integrated into a conventional stethoscope to digitize auscultated sounds from the body of a patient. The device can be switched off so that the conventional stethoscope can be used as a standard stethoscope. When the device is switched on, the digitized auscultated sounds can be modified to remove the noise. Such modified sounds can be sent wirelessly from the electronic stethoscope device to a peripheral device that can receive such wireless signals, such as computer, cell phone, or cloud application, where the data can be viewed and manipulated further as desired.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2020Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Eko Health, Inc.Inventors: Neal Donovan, Daniel Freschl, Eugene Gershtein, Philip Goolkasian, Connor Landgraf, Darius Mostowfi, Subramaniam Venkatraman, Jaclyn Leverett Wasson

Publication number: 20210219108Abstract: A sensor platform includes a programmable microcontroller to execute programming associated with one or more sensors in order to receive data from the one or more sensors and generate reports based on the data, and to enter a power-down mode in the absence of the data. The sensor platform also includes first and second transceivers. The first transceiver is configured to establish wireless connectivity with user devices using a first wireless protocol and to receive the programming from one or more of the user devices using the first wireless protocol. The second transceiver is configured to transmit the reports to a gateway using a second wireless protocol that is lower power, longer range, and/or lower fidelity than the first wireless protocol.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2021Publication date: July 15, 2021Inventors: Samuel Alexander Tramiel, Dawid Bogdal, Alexander Kreitz, Eugene Gershtein, Darius Mostowfi

Patent number: 10467477Abstract: A pill identification system identifies a pill type for a pharmaceutical composition from images of the pharmaceutical composition. The system extracts features from images taken of the pill. The features extracted from the pill image include color, size, shape, and surface features of the pill. In particular, the features include rotation-independent surface features of the pill that enable the pill to be identified from a variety of orientations when the images are taken. The feature vectors are applied to a classifier that determines a pill identification for each image. The pill identification for each image is scored to determine identification for the pharmaceutical composition.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2019Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: PerceptiMed, Inc.Inventors: Eugene Gershtein, Alan Jacobs, Alexander Gebala

Patent number: 10362467Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for wireless communication between medical devices are provided. In some embodiments, commodity low power, low bandwidth communication protocols may be utilized to simultaneously convey multiple signals with high fidelity and reliability. For example, cardiac sound data and ECG data may be compressed using a common ADPCM component and inserted into a common BLE packet structure. Command-control data may also be inserted. Where required command-control data reporting frequency is less than the packet frequency, header bits may be utilized to convey multiple types of command-control data in a given packet byte position. Rolling packet sequence values may be inserted into the common packet structure, for use by receiving devices to identify link integrity failures.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2018Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: EKO Devices, Inc.Inventors: Connor Landgraf, Eugene Gershtein, Tyler Crouch

Patent number: 9456241Abstract: Techniques to create, generate, and deliver customized interactive program guide (custom-IPG). In one embodiment, selections indicative of a set of channels to be included in the custom-IPG are received. In response, one or more custom-IPG screens including the set of selected channels are rendered at a headend. Custom-IPG screens can be formed as subsets of the regular IPG screens, or as new screens. The rendered custom-IPG screens are provided from the head end to a set top terminal upon receiving a viewer request for the custom-IPG. Commands indicative of a particular location at which to overlay the custom-IPG screens may also be received, and the custom-IPG screens are re-rendered at the indicated location. Custom-IPG screens can be overlaid on a video sequence provided on a particular channel being viewed, used to carry regular program guide, or a channel independent of the channel used to carry regular programming and program guide.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2013Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: Comcast IP Holdings I, LLCInventors: Sadik Bayrakeri, Donald F.

Publication number: 20160085940Abstract: Medication errors happen frequently in hospital, home, and pharmacy environments. A medication verification and dispensing system provides protection against such errors. The apparatus includes a guide tube that receives a medication and imaging device(s) adjacent to the guide tube that take image(s) of the medication. The imaging devices(s) and light source(s) are oriented for capturing images that reveal markings, color, size, shape, etc., of the medication. A verification system uses a signature of the image to identify the medication or compares the image(s) to reference images to identify the medication and to a prescription record of the patient to ensure it is a correct medication, dose, amount, timing, etc., for administration. If the medication is correct, it is dispensed into a dispensing vessel that locks the medication inside, but unlocks when it recognizes a unique patient identifier worn by a patient that is a correct recipient for the medication.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2015Publication date: March 24, 2016Inventors: Alan Jeffrey Jacobs, Eugene Gershtein

Patent number: 9264711Abstract: A terminal for decoding and presenting encoded realtime and non-realtime interactive program guide (IPG) content including a realtime video portion and a non-realtime guide graphics portion. The terminal includes a demodulator operative to receive and demodulate a modulated signal to provide a transport stream, and a transport demultiplexer coupled to the demodulator and operative to receive and process the transport stream to provide a sequence of transport packets re-timestamped to synchronize encoded realtime content and encoded non-realtime content included therein. At least one video decoder is coupled to the transport demultiplexer and operative to receive and decode the encoded realtime and non-realtime contents to recover the realtime and non-realtime contents for the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2014Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: COMCAST IP HOLDINGS I, LLCInventors: Donald F.

Patent number: 9094727Abstract: Methods for slice-based encoding of program guides and user interfaces. The program guides include multiple video streams for picture-in-picture and other applications. A method for encoding the program guide includes encoding a first set of slices for each of a plurality of graphics pages; and encoding a second set of slices for each of a plurality of video streams. The user interfaces are multi-functional and may be used for electronic commerce and other applications. A method of generating the user interface includes encoding a set of slices for each of a plurality of objects, each object being characterized by an identity, at least one attribute, and at least one operation. In one embodiment of this method, the plurality of objects include an electronic commerce object, where the electronic commerce object is attributed with a first hyper text markup language (HTML) page.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1999Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: COX COMMUNICATIONS, INC.Inventors: Donald F.
