Patent number: 10751003Abstract: Vital sign monitors are plagued by noisy photoplethysmography (PPG) data, making it difficult for the monitors to output consistently accurate readings. Noise in PPG signals is often caused by motion. The present disclosure provides improved techniques for reducing motion-related artifacts in optical/PPG measurements for vital signs monitoring. In general, techniques described herein are based on using measurements of reference sensors that include sensors other than optical sensors used for the optical measurements, e.g., biopotential sensors, bioimpedance sensors, and/or capacitive sensors. In particular, techniques described herein aim to filter PPG signals using substantially only the noise components of signals generated by reference sensors, by attenuating or altogether eliminating components of the signals generated by reference sensors which are indicative of the parameter the reference sensors are designed to measure.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: ANALOG DEVICES GLOBAL UNLIMITED COMPANYInventors: Roberto Munoz, Guillermo Serrano Leon, Carlos Millan Navarro

Patent number: 10045586Abstract: The invention relates to a one-piece protective toe cap for safety footwear, forming a concave frame consisting of a front wall with connected side walls, the upper edges of which are joined by a concave surface along the profile of the last. The contour or edge of the flange of the toe cap is provided with a recess in order to house a tab and provide comfort, as well as improving the appearance of the footwear (not shown in these documents). The design withstands impact tests of approximately 101.7 to 146.7 Joules (10.4 to 14.95 kgf-m), leaving clearance of approximately 11 mm to 14 mm in the capped shoe and not only at the tip of the cap.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2014Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: Internacional de Calzado TEN PAC, S.A. de C.V.Inventors: Roberto Munoz Almaguer, Fernando Chico Ruiz, Carlos Armando Fuentes Aragon, Roberto Zitzumbo Guzman, Ramon Alberto Ayala Medina, Constantino Vidal Guerrero

Patent number: 8604890Abstract: A method and a circuit for increasing a resolution of a digitally controlled oscillator include controlling the oscillator so that an output signal of the oscillator varies between semi-periods having a first frequency and semi-periods having a second frequency. The method and circuit further include applying the output signal of the oscillator as an input to a divider to obtain a divided signal. A frequency of at least one semi-period of the divided signal is a function of both an oscillator semi-period having the first frequency and an oscillator semi-period having the second frequency.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2011Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Analog Devices, Inc.Inventors: Alberto Marinas, Jose Ibanez Climent, Roberto Munoz, Pedro Lopez Canova
