  • Patent number: 11941810
    Abstract: An apparatus for inspecting a target device includes a data communication interface and control circuitry configured to receive imaging data of a target device using the data communication interface, determine image features associated with the target device based at least in part on the imaging data, and determine an inspection outcome based at least in part on the image features.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11058309
    Abstract: Disclosed is finger cuff that is connectable to a patient's finger to be used in measuring the patient's blood pressure by a blood pressure measurement system. The finger cuff may comprise a fixed shell and a bladder. The fixed shell may have a finger cavity, in which the finger cavity of the fixed shell may be placed around a patient's finger to surround a large portion of the patient's finger including the middle knuckle to reduce finger movement, and in particular, to reduce relative movement between the middle phalanx and the proximal phalanx. Further, the fixed shell includes a support member that extends away from the finger cavity to abut against the underside of the patient's hand to reduce bending of the finger relative to the hand.

  • Patent number: 10765327
    Abstract: Disclosed is finger cuff that is connectable to a patient's finger to aid in measuring the patient's blood pressure. The finger cuff may comprise: a shell, a bladder, and a clamping mechanism. The shell may have a finger cavity. The finger cavity of the shell may be placed under a patient's finger to receive the patient's finger. Further, the finger cavity may include a light emitting diode (LED)—photodiode (PD) pair. The bladder may include a pair of openings and the bladder may be mountable within the finger cavity such that the pair of openings surround the LED-PD pair, respectively. The clamping mechanism may be used to suitably clamp the patient's finger received in the finger cavity of the shell against the bladder mounted within the finger cavity of the shell.

  • Publication number: 20180360328
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method to measure a patient's blood pressure by a blood pressure measurement system utilizing a finger cuff, in which the finger cuff includes a light emitting diode (LED)—photodiode (PD) pair and a bladder. The method comprises: placing the finger cuff around the patient's finger such that the bladder and the LED-PD pair aid in measuring the patient's blood pressure by the blood pressure measurement system; and applying heat generated by a heating element to the finger of the patient to increase the temperature of the finger, wherein the heating element generates heat at a predetermined temperature. Also, in some embodiments, the heating element also includes warming the hand and the wrist.
