  • Publication number: 20100160795
    Abstract: The present invention provides a technique for continuous measurement of blood pressure based on pulse transit time and which does not require any external calibration. This technique, referred to herein as the ‘Composite Method’, is carried out with a body-worn monitor that measures blood pressure and other vital signs, and wirelessly transmits them to a remote monitor. A network of body-worn sensors, typically placed on the patient's right arm and chest, connect to the body-worn monitor and measure time-dependent ECG, PPG, accelerometer, and pressure waveforms. The disposable sensors can include a cuff that features an inflatable bladder coupled to a pressure sensor, three or more electrical sensors (e.g. electrodes), three or more accelerometers, a temperature sensor, and an optical sensor (e.g., a light source and photodiode) attached to the patient's thumb.

  • Patent number: 6188478
    Abstract: The invention describes a method for measuring a property of a sample by: 1) irradiating a portion of the sample with an excitation pattern characterized by at least one spatial phase and spatial period; 2) diffracting a portion of a probe beam off a surface of the sample; 3) detecting the diffracted portion of the probe beam with an optical detector to generate a light-induced signal; 4) adjusting the spatial phase of the excitation pattern; 5) repeating the irradiating, diffracting and detecting steps to generate an additional light-induced signal; and 6) processing the light-induced signals to determine a property of the sample.
