Patent number: 10660818Abstract: A roller system is disclosed that includes a roller axle with a longitudinal axis that houses at least a portion of a latch assembly. The latch assembly includes a latch with an exposed portion that moves substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The system also has a roller assembly that removably fits around the roller axle and has a latch catch. The system has two configurations: (1) a locked configuration, where the exposed portion of the latch obstructs the latch catch from sliding, thereby locking the roller assembly onto the roller axle; and (2) an unlocked configuration, where the exposed portion of the latch is moved towards the longitudinal axis, thereby allowing the latch catch to slide past, separating the roller assembly from the roller axle.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2019Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: INNOVATION ETHOS, LLCInventor: Marcus Kramer

Publication number: 20180235526Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for measuring one or more parameters at a tissue site of a patient are disclosed. The system can include a sensor that can be configured to measure a first physiological parameter. The physiological parameter can be associated with oxygenation of arterial blood. A second physiological parameter can be associated with respiration of the patient. The system can include a processor that can be configured to use the first and second physiological parameters to determine a waveform associated with the oxygenation of the arterial blood, and the processor can be configured to compensate for a signal artifact associated with motion of the tissue site.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2016Publication date: August 23, 2018Inventors: Bryant Austin Jones, Eric Danielson, Gregory J.
