Patent number: 10881337Abstract: An oximetry sensor assembly connector, and a method for making the same, is provided that includes a flexible circuit and a stiffener panel. The flexible circuit has a plurality of layers including at least one electrical trace layer and at least one electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield layer. The stiffener panel has a first side surface and a second side surface, which second side surface is opposite the first side surface. The flexible circuit includes a first segment and a second segment, and one or more of the plurality of layers are disposed within the first segment and the second segment. The flexible circuit is folded such that the first segment is contiguous with the first side surface of the stiffener panel, and the second segment is contiguous with the second side surface of the stiffener panel.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2017Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: Edwards Lifesciences CorporationInventor: Matthew Dalene

Patent number: 10786157Abstract: A near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) sensor assembly for measuring a characteristic of a biological tissue is provided. The NIRS sensor assembly includes a light source, at least one light detector, and a layer disposed within the sensor assembly. The light source is operable to emit light at one or more predetermined wavelengths. The at least one light detector has an active area for detecting light emitted by the light source and passed through the biological tissue. The light detector is operable to produce signals representative of the detected light. The layer disposed within the sensor assembly has at least one deflection element.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2015Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Edwards Lifesciences CorporationInventor: Matthew Dalene
