Patent number: 11950914Abstract: Multiple circuits in a computing device can share one or more conductive elements. The use of the conductive element can vary by circuit, such as an antenna radiator for a radio frequency (RF) circuit or an electrode for an electrocardiography (ECG) circuit. The circuitry sharing a conductive element can utilize signals obtained over different frequency ranges. Those ranges can be used to select decoupling circuitry, or elements, that can enable the respective circuits to obtain signals over a respective frequency range, excluding signals over one or more other frequency ranges corresponding to other circuitry sharing the circuit. Such an approach allows for concurrent independent operation of the circuitry sharing a conductive element.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Fitbit, Inc.Inventors: Faton Tefiku, Yonghua Wei, Kevin Li, Man-Chi Liu, Lindsey Michelle Sunden, Peter W. Richards, Dennis Jacob McCray, Christos Kinezos Ioannou, Kyung Nim Noh

Publication number: 20230346226Abstract: A method for forming a phantom for an optoacoustic probe is provided that may include forming a scattering material. The method may also include forming an absorbing material, and mixing the scattering material with the absorbing material to form a tissue material. The method can also include mixing the tissue material with a urethane solution to form a phantom material, and curing the phantom material to form the phantom.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: Seno Medical Instruments, Inc.Inventors: Tam Do, Jason Cook, Lisa Michelle Richards Cook

Publication number: 20220257193Abstract: An optoacoustic probe for optoacoustic imaging of a volume, the optoacoustic probe having a distal end operable to contact the volume and a proximal end. The optoacoustic probe includes at least one primary light source and an auxiliary light source that is configured to generate auxiliary light carried through an optical window to a volume. A detection device is configured to detect signals generated from the auxiliary light or primary light reflecting from the volume or the optical window. A microcontroller including one or more processors is also provided, that receives the signals generated from the auxiliary light reflecting from the volume from the detection device, determines contact between the volume and the optoacoustic probe based on the auxiliary light reflecting from the volume, and prevents the at least one primary light source from generating light until the optoacoustic probe is contacting the volume.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2022Publication date: August 18, 2022Applicant: Seno Medical Instruments, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Nelson Harris, Tam Thien Do, Xavier Rey Saenz, Lisa Michelle Richards Cook
