  • Patent number: 12292380
    Abstract: A detection unit, device, and system for cell capture, spectral analysis, and drug interaction monitoring. The detection unit includes an IR-transparent substrate connected to a plasmonic metasurface with an array of metallic antennas. In a detection device, the detection unit is connected to a microfluidic chamber with a channel such that the channel extends along the metasurface. For the detection system, the detection device is mounted on a microscope. The infrared spectra are collected in reflection, with infrared light impinging on the metasurface from the substrate side and returning back through the substrate in the form of reflected infrared light. The system includes a syringe pump for injecting live cells into the chamber. An AC source is connected to the metasurface for cell capture and its AC voltage creates a dielectrophoretic (DEP) force that causes the live cells to move from the chamber and onto the metasurface for spectral analysis.

  • Publication number: 20230098416
    Abstract: According to an aspect of the invention there is provided a system for use in monitoring one or more physiological states of a user, the system comprising one or more processors configured to: receive a pressure signal representing pressure within a cushioning layer supporting at least a portion of a user and an acoustic signal representing acoustic vibrations within the cushioning layer; and determine, based on the pressure signal and acoustic signal, the one or more physiological states of the user.

  • Publication number: 20210338152
    Abstract: Systems and methods for use in monitoring one or more physiological parameters of a user. The system comprises: at least one sensing unit comprising at least one vibration sensor; and at least one elastic tube configured to be embedded within a cushioning layer for supporting at least a portion of the user. One end of the at least one tube is sealed and the other end of the at least one tube is closed by the at least one sensing unit so as to form a volume that is filled with fluid and that is defined by one or more inner walls of the tube and a surface of the at least one sensing unit. The at least one elastic tube is configured to transmit vibrations from one or more sections of the at least one tube to the at least one sensing unit for detection by the at least one vibration sensor.
