  • Patent number: 11938303
    Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein relate to determining a calibrated measurement value indicative of a physiological condition of a patient using sensor calibration data and a performance model. In some embodiments, the techniques involve obtaining one or more electrical signals from a sensing element of a sensing arrangement, where the one or more electrical signals are influenced by a physiological condition in a body of a patient. The techniques also involve obtaining calibration data associated with the sensing element from a data storage element of the sensing arrangement, converting the one or more electrical signals into one or more calibrated measurement parameters using the calibration data, obtaining a performance model associated with the sensing element, obtaining personal data associated with the patient, and determining, using the performance model and based on the personal data and the one or more calibrated measurement parameters, a calibrated output value indicative of the physiological condition.

  • Patent number: 9651261
    Abstract: A combustion turbine engine combustor igniter port alignment and dimensional verification tool is insertable in guide tube and igniter boss portions of the igniter port. The tool has concentrically nested outer and inner sleeves, having respective circumferential profiles that are separately slidably insertable within corresponding igniter port guide tube and igniter boss portions that have inner circumferential profiles in conformance with minimal dimension specifications. Concentric alignment of the guide tube and igniter boss is validated by inserting the nested outer and inner sleeves into the igniter port. The verification tool is capable of validating igniter port alignment and dimensions before the combustor is installed in a combustion turbine engine.
