Abstract: An interface pressure sensor includes a fluid pressure sensor disposed in a volume defined by a shear wall. The volume is enclosed, and the fluid pressure sensor is encapsulated by, an infill material. The infill material defines a sensing surface that, when pressed, can impart a force that is detectable by the fluid pressure sensor.

Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for determining blood pressure of a user. Embodiments can include a restriction device that is configured to apply an external pressure cycle to a blood vessel of the user and a pressure sensing device that is configured to detect pressures within the blood vessel during the external pressure cycle and output a signal indicative of the detected pressures. Embodiments can also include a processing device that is configured to receive the signal from the pressure sensing device, determine a first set of pressure values corresponding to minimum pressure values for each pulse pressure wave and determine a second set of pressure values corresponding to pressure upstrokes that occur during a descending pressure phase of a respective pulse pressure wave. The system can determine a blood pressure parameter of the user based on the first set of pressure values and the second set of pressure values.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relate s to blood pressure monitoring. In some embodiments, methods and devices for measuring a mean arterial pressure and/or for monitoring blood pressure changes of a user are provided. Blood pressure measured by one or more pressure sensors may be adjusted using one or more correction factors. The use of the one or more correction factors disclosed herein may allow for more compact, convenient, and/or accurate wearable blood pressure measurement devices and methods. In particular, wrist-worn devices may be provided which are less bulky than current devices and may facilitate more frequent and accurate blood pressure monitoring.

Abstract: A modularly-partitioned feedforward multicarrier linear RF power amplifier is described. The circuitry and components of the power amplifier are segregated into physically-separate modules in accordance with several criteria. In one embodiment, the power amplifier is segregated into a RF power module, a linearizer module and a DC power supply module. The RF power module includes power- and frequency-dependent components and generally varies with the carrier frequency and output power requirements for a specific application. The linearizer module includes circuitry and components that are substantially power- and frequency-independent. As such, the linearizer module is substantially invariant and a single design may be used for virtually any application. The DC power supply module includes circuit and components that are substantially frequency independent but somewhat power dependent.

Abstract: An adaptive equalizer (also called a laser interface) for generating an electrical modulating signal for use by a laser to modulate an optical data signal. The laser has a non-linear modulation response pattern such that the optical data signal comprises a primary data signal and a plurality of harmonic distortion products. The adaptive equalizer operates by generating a correction electrical signal having a frequency equal to a frequency of one of the harmonic distortion products (this harmonic distortion product is nulled by operation of the adaptive equalizer). The adaptive equalizer detects the phase and amplitude of the harmonic distortion product. Then, the adaptive equalizer phase shifts the correction electrical signal in accordance with the detected phase such that the correction electrical signal and the harmonic distortion product are conjugately matched.

Abstract: A carrier generator circuit for use in a modem employed in a wireless communication system is described. The carrier generator circuit includes a voltage controlled oscillator comprising an N-stage ring oscillator to generate N balanced vectors of equal magnitude and arbitrary phase difference. The carrier generator circuit also includes a phase corrector to add two of the balanced vectors to generate a sum vector and to subtract the two balanced vectors to generate a difference vector. The sum vector and difference vector have a phase difference of 90 degrees. The sum vector represents an I (in-phase) carrier signal component and the difference vector represents a Q (quadrature-phase) carrier signal component. These I and Q carrier signal components can be used to transmit and receive data signals.
