Patent number: 10677656Abstract: A device is disclosed including a substrate and a floating blinded infrared detector and/or a shunted blinded infrared detector. The floating blinded infrared detector may include an infrared detector coupled to and thermally isolated from the substrate; and a blocking structure disposed above the infrared detector to block external thermal radiation from being received by the infrared detector; and wherein the blocking structure comprises a plurality of openings. The shunted blinded infrared detector may include an additional infrared detector coupled to the substrate; an additional blocking structure disposed above the infrared detector to block external thermal radiation from being received by the additional infrared detector; and a material that thermally couples the additional infrared detector to the substrate and the additional blocking structure. Methods for using and forming the device are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2017Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: FLIR Systems, Inc.Inventors: Eric A. Kurth, Chris Chan, Kevin Peters, Patrick Franklin, Robert F. Cannata, James L. Dale, Tommy Marx, David Howard, Jefferson Rose, Michael DeBar

Patent number: 10429395Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatuses, etc. for glucose sensor signal stability analysis. In certain example embodiments, a series of samples of at least one sensor signal that is responsive to a blood glucose level of a patient may be obtained. Based at least partly on the series of samples, at least one metric may be determined to assess an underlying trend of a change in responsiveness of the at least one sensor signal to the blood glucose level of the patient over time. A reliability of the at least one sensor signal to respond to the blood glucose level of the patient may be assessed based at least partly on the at least one metric assessing the underlying trend. Other example embodiments are disclosed herein.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2015Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: Medtronic Minimed, Inc.Inventors: Ying Luo, Rebecca K. Gottlieb, Meena Ramachandran, Chia-Hung Chiu, Nandita Dangui-Patel, Michael Kremliovsky, Jefferson Rose
