Publication number: 20240099647Abstract: Provided is an apparatus (100) for transporting sweat droplets (112) to a sensor. The apparatus comprises a chamber (102) for filling with sweat. The chamber has an inlet (104) lying adjacent the surface of the skin (106), which inlet permits sweat to enter and fill the chamber. The chamber has an outlet (114) from which a sweat droplet protrudes once the chamber has been filled. The apparatus further comprises a fluid transport assembly which is designed to enable the sweat droplet protruding from the outlet to become detached from the outlet of the chamber. The sweat droplet is subsequently transported by the fluid transport assembly to the sensor. Once the protruding droplet has been released from the outlet, the outlet is made available for a subsequent sweat droplet to protrude therefrom upon further filling of the chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2020Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: EDUARD GERARD MARIE PELSSERS, KIRAN HAMILTON J. DELLIMORE, RON MARTINUS LAURENTIUS VAN LIESHOUT, LUTZ CHRISTIAN GERHARDT, PETER HERMANUS BOUMA, MARK THOMAS JOHNSON, LAURENTIA JOHANNA HUIJBREGTS

Publication number: 20240099648Abstract: Provided is a system (300) for determining a sweat rate per gland and measuring biomarker concentration. The system comprises an apparatus and a sensor (166). The apparatus receives sweat from the skin and transports the sweat as discrete sweat droplets to the sensor. The sensor senses each of the counted sweat droplets. The system further comprises a processor which counts the number of sensed sweat droplets during a time period. The processor also determines time intervals between consecutive sensed sweat droplets, and receives a measure of the volume of each of the counted sweat droplets. The time intervals and the measure of the volume are then used by the processor to identify sweat burst and rest periods of the sweat gland or glands producing the sweat. This identification process necessarily involves assigning the sweat burst and rest periods to the sweat gland or glands, such that the processor is permitted to determine the number of sweat glands involved in producing the sweat.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2020Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: EDUARD GERARD MARIE PELSSERS, KIRAN HAMILTON J. DELLIMORE, RON MARTINUS LAURENTIUS VAN LIESHOUT, LUTZ CHRISTIAN GERHARDT, PETER HERMANUS BOUMA, MARK THOMAS JOHNSON, LAURENTIA JOHANNA HUIJBREGTS

Patent number: 11838775Abstract: An electronic device that coordinates collection of communication data in a wireless network is described. During operation, the electronic device may provide, from an interface circuit, a troubleshooting request, where the troubleshooting request instructs at least a second electronic device (such as an access point) in the one or more second electronic devices to capture the communication data associated with subsequent communication by the electronic device. For example, the troubleshooting request may be included in a vendor specific public action frame that is broadcast or unicast. Then, the electronic device may provide, from the interface circuit, one or more packets or frames. Moreover, the electronic device may collect the communication data associated with the subsequent communication.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: ARRIS Enterprises LLCInventors: Peter G.

Patent number: 11765523Abstract: A hearing system to activate an auditory system using cerebrospinal fluids includes at least one processor configured to receive an audio signal captured using a sound sensor (e.g., a microphone), extract temporal and spectral features from the audio signal, and create modulated ultrasound signals in a range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz with ultrasound carrier frequencies in the range of 50 kHz to 4 MHz, which are ultrasound frequencies that are well-suited to reach the cerebrospinal fluids (e.g., can pass across the skull/bones to reach the cerebrospinal fluids). The system further includes at least one ultrasonic transducer which receives the modulated signal and delivers the modulated signal to the body and activates the auditory system via vibration of cerebrospinal fluids that vibrate cochlear fluids, bypassing the normal conductive pathway that uses middle ear bones and minimizing bone conduction and distortion through the skull.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2022Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTAInventors: Hubert H.
