Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a system and methods for measuring physiological parameters. More specifically, the present invention relates to a noncontact technology by which one or more physiological parameters of a subject may be efficiently and quickly detected. Among other advantages, the present invention can be used to assess and monitor vital signs of one or more subjects in a variety of contexts including for medical or security triage purposes, for use in healthcare waiting rooms, as part of human imaging systems, or during surgery.

Abstract: Provided are methods and devices for evaluating dynamic middle ear muscle activity in a subject. A probe is provided having a speaker and a microphone in sound-wave communication with an eardrum associated with the middle ear muscle of the subject. A sound wave is generated from the speaker and transmitted to the eardrum. The sound wave that is reflected is detected and a reflected sound wave property measured. The input sound wave may be comb input to fully extend ossicle movement in all available vibratory modes, thereby providing maximum information as to dynamic middle ear muscle activity.
