  • Patent number: 10230491
    Abstract: A method for controlling data flow in a wireless body area network includes transmitting sensor data from a plurality of sensor nodes to a gateway via a first transmission channel. The method further includes transmitting beacon data from the gateway to the plurality of sensor nodes via the first transmission channel. The method also includes determining channel packet loss information of the first transmission channel based on at least one of a beacon packet loss information included in the sensor data and a sensor packet loss information included in the beacon data. The method further includes comparing the channel packet loss information with a packet loss threshold. The method also includes switching flow of the sensor data and the beacon data through a second transmission channel instead of the first transmission channel, if the channel packet loss information is greater than the packet loss threshold.

  • Publication number: 20170155427
    Abstract: The invention is focused toward enhancing a patient's mobility by providing seamless information/data transfer between medical monitoring devices such as a patient monitor, telemetry hubs, or another mobile monitoring system. The information or data, which are transferred among the medical devices include, but are not limited to, patient demographic information, wireless network, or pairing information. A set of wireless sensors (e.g. ECG, NIBP, Temp, SpO2), which are located on a patient's body, are connected wirelessly to a patient monitor, which is not a mobile device. When a clinician needs to move the patient from one location to a another location, the clinician brings the mobile monitor close to the fixed monitor to transfer the patient and wireless network information to the mobile monitor automatically. This enables the transfer of connected on-body wireless sensors from one medical device to another medical device without physically detaching them from a patient's body.

  • Publication number: 20170105648
    Abstract: Implementations are disclosed for monitoring a state or change in state of a physiological parameter based on measured impedance data. In certain implementations, no images are reconstructed from the impedance data. In certain implementations, a metric (e.g., distinguishability, likelihood ratios, and so forth) may be computed and compared to reference metrics or thresholds, such as for changes over time or in comparison to a standard to determine the presence or absence of a physiological state of interest or of a change in such state.

  • Patent number: 9285540
    Abstract: A method for realizing a semiconductor waveguide and an ultra-low-loss dielectric waveguide disposed on the same substrate is disclosed. The method includes forming a partial dielectric waveguide structure on the substrate, wherein the dielectric waveguide is annealed to reduce hydrogen incorporation, and wherein the top cladding of the dielectric waveguide is only partially formed by a first dielectric layer. A second substrate comprising a semiconductor layer having a second dielectric layer disposed on its top surface is bonded to the first substrate such that the first and second dielectric layers collectively form the complete top cladding for the dielectric waveguide. The second substrate is then removed and the semiconductor layer is patterned to define the semiconductor waveguide core.
