Patent number: 11341764Abstract: A bio-sensor device, integrated with a display portion, includes a surface for touching by a body part, such as a finger. A light source, such as an array of LEDs, emit light through the surface so as to be reflected and partially absorbed by the body part An array of photodetectors detects light reflected back by the body part and generates signals corresponding to an image of the light reflection, which corresponds to the light absorption pattern in the body part. The light absorption pattern may correlate to a fingerprint, a blood vessel pattern, blood movement within the blood vessels, combinations thereof, or other biometric feature. A processor receives the signals from the photodetectors and analyzes the signals to determine a characteristic of the body part. The characteristic may be used to authenticate the user of the bio-sensor device by comparing the detected characteristic to a stored characteristic.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2020Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: InSyte Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jerome Chandra Bhat, Richard Ian Olsen

Patent number: 11054383Abstract: An electrochemical sensor device that is efficiently and economically produced at the chip level for a variety of applications is disclosed. In some aspects, the device is made on or using a wafer technology whereby a sensor chamber is created by said wafer and a gas port allows for a working electrode of the sensor to detect certain gases. Large scale production is possible using wafer technology where individual sensors are produced from one or more common wafers. Integrated circuits are made in or on the wafers in an integrated way so that the wafers provide the substrate for the integrated circuitry and interconnects as well as providing the definition of the chambers in which the gas sensors are disposed.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2019Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: InSyte Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jerome Chandra Bhat, Jim Chih-Min Cheng, Richard Ian Olsen

Patent number: 10142548Abstract: A method includes sampling a first intensity of light with a first array of photo detectors of a digital camera. A second intensity of light is sampled with a second array of photo detectors of the digital camera. A first channel processor coupled to the first array of photo detectors generates a first image using first array data which is representative of the first intensity of light sampled by the first array of photo detectors. A second channel processor coupled to the second array of photo detectors generates a second image using second array data which is representative of the second intensity of light sampled by the second array of photo detectors. The first array of photo detectors, the second array of photo detectors, the first channel processor, and the second channel processor are integrated on or in a semiconductor substrate.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2016Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: CALLAHAN CELLULAR L.L.C.Inventors: Richard Ian Olsen, Darryl L.
