Sendill K. Gnanaeswaran 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).

  • Apparatus, system, and method for automatic power reduction in photoplethysmography and pulse oximetry systems
    Patent number: 10045721
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for a transmit circuit including a light source and a receive circuit including a photodetector and a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) coupled to the photodetector. Additionally, a calibration circuit may be coupled to the transmit circuit and the receive circuit, wherein the calibration circuit includes a current controller to set an operational current of the light source to a minimum value that results in a target output voltage of the receive circuit. In one example, the gain of the TIA remains substantially constant during calibration of the receive circuit.
