  • IMPEDANCE-MATCHED ACOUSTIC TRANSDUCER
    Publication number: 20230412970
    Abstract: An acoustic transducer includes a first layer including an elastomer, An acoustic impedance of the first layer substantially matches an acoustic impedance of a medium that the transducer is configured to monitor. The transducer also includes a second layer including an electrode. The transducer also includes a third layer including a polymer. The second layer is positioned at least partially between the first layer and the third layer.

  • Programmable electronic stethoscope devices, algorithms, systems, and methods
    Patent number: 10765399
    Abstract: A digital electronic stethoscope includes an acoustic sensor assembly that includes a body sensor portion and an ambient sensor portion, the body sensor portion being configured to make acoustically coupled contact with a subject while the ambient sensor portion is configured to face away from the body sensor portion so as to capture environmental noise proximate the body sensor portion; a signal processor and data storage system configured to communicate with the acoustic sensor assembly so as to receive detection signals therefrom, the detection signals including an auscultation signal comprising body target sound and a noise signal; and an output device configured to communicate with the signal processor and data storage system to provide at least one of an output signal or information derived from the output signal.
