Ruthsenne R.G. Perron has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Lung water content measurement system and calibration method
    Patent number: 11219411
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring lung water content of a patient. The system may include microwave sensors and a processor. The system may transmit microwave signals into, and receive microwave signals from, the thorax of a patient using the microwave sensors. The received microwave signals may each have at least one frequency component with a magnitude and a phase. The system may analyze the phase of the received microwave signal corresponding to a first pair of the microwave signals to monitor changes in the lung water content. The system may analyze the magnitude of the received microwave signal corresponding to a second, different pair of the microwave sensors to determine whether the lung water content is increasing or decreasing. The system may also analyze the received microwave signals to determine a blood pressure indicator and to determine lung water content.

  • Lung water content measurement system and calibration method
    Patent number: 10856806
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring lung water content of a patient. The system may include at least two microwave sensors and a processor. The system may transmit one or more microwave signals into the thorax of a patient using one or more of the microwave sensors. The system may then receive one or more of the microwave signals using one or more of the microwave sensors. The one or more received microwave signals may each have at least one associated frequency component with a magnitude and a phase. The system may analyze the phase of one or more received microwave signals to monitor changes in the lung water content. The system may analyze the magnitude of one or more received microwave signals to determine whether the lung water content is increasing or decreasing.
