Patent number: 11013435Abstract: An electronic device and method for measuring biometric information are provided. The electronic device includes at least one light emitter; light receiver; and a processor. The processor is configured to emit light outside of the electronic device through the at least one light emitter, obtain, through the light receiver, light reflected by an external object among the emitted light, obtain a signal generated based on at least a portion of the reflected light and corresponding to the external object, output guide information related to a location of the external object when the signal satisfies a first designated condition, and obtain biometric information about the external object when the signal satisfies a second designated condition. When a finger of a user finger of the electronic device is not accurately located at a bio sensor, by guiding an accurate grip location, biometric information about the user can be accurately measured.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2018Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jihwan Kim, Sehoon Kim, Jungmo Kim, Jooman Han, Choonghee Ahn, Jeongyup Han, Taeho Kim, Jeongmin Park, Seungeun Lee

Patent number: 8616214Abstract: An earplug for insertion into an ear canal of a user has a front, a back, a side extending between the front and the back, a longitudinal axis, and a transverse axis. A core structure is selectively moveable from an un-deformed position to a deformed, insertable position suitable for insertion of the earplug into the ear canal of the user. A cover covers at least a portion of the core structure and is adapted for contact with the ear canal of the user. An actuator is operatively connected to the core structure for moving the core structure from the un-deformed position to the deformed, insertable position upon application of a force to the actuator.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2011Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: KangSoo Park, JungMo Kim, InYoung Sa

Patent number: 8287461Abstract: A technique for identifying a vein in a patient is disclosed. The technique involves the application of a thermochromic ink to a venous area on the skin of a patient (e.g., human or animal). The thermochromic ink comprises thermosensitive color-changing microcapsules that contain a proton-accepting chromogen and a desensitizer. The desensitizer possesses a melting point above which the chromogen is capable of becoming protonated, thereby resulting in a color change. Thereafter, the venous area is observed for the color change.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2007Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: John Gavin MacDonald, Kaiyuan Yang, Jaeho Kim, JungMo Kim
