Abstract: The present invention relates to a processor and a system (1, 1?) for screening of the state of oxygenation of a subject (100), in particular for screening of newborn babies for congenital heart disease. The system comprises an imaging unit (2) for obtaining a plurality of image frames of the subject (100) over time, and a processor (3) for processing the image frames. The imaging unit, for instance a conventional video camera as used in the vital signs monitoring using the above mentioned principle of remote PPG, is used as a contact less pulse oximeter, by use of which a body map (for at least some body parts of interest) of at least the blood oxygen saturation is created. Picking certain body areas, e.g. right upper extremity versus left upper and/or lower extremity, and combining or comparing them can serve the purpose of detecting anomalies of heart and/or circuitry functions.

Abstract: A charging apparatus (1) for a vehicle that can be driven electrically has a charging cradle (4) with an access opening (8) and an electrical charging socket (5) is arranged in the charging cradle (4). A closure cover (7) is mounted pivotably in the charging cradle (4) and, in a closed position, covers the access opening (8) in the charging cradle (4) and, in an open position, opens said access opening. A sealing ring (12) which extends around the charging socket (5), and the closure cover (7) has a ring attachment (13) that makes contact with the sealing ring (12) along a ring contour of the sealing ring when the closure cover (7) is closed. Thus, the charging socket is sealed off reliably to the outside.

Abstract: A device for obtaining vital sign information of a living being comprises a detection unit that receives light in at least one wavelength interval reflected from at least a region of interest of a living being and that generates an input signal from the received light. A processing unit processes the input signal and derives vital sign information of the living being from the input signal by use of remote photoplethysmography. An illumination unit illuminates at least the region of interest with light, and a control unit controls the illumination unit based on the input signal and/or the derived vital sign information.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for monitoring light and sound impact on a patient. It comprises a light capturing unit (2) for capturing ambient light at the person over time and a sound capturing unit (3) for capturing ambient sound at the person over time. A threshold unit (6, 9) generates and issues a trigger signal if the brightness of captured ambient light exceeds a brightness level and/or if the sound level of captured ambient sound exceeds a sound threshold. A stress level processor (15) determines the stress level of the person. A storing unit (10) stores, in response to a received trigger signal, snippets of ambient light and ambient sound captured around the time moment of receiving the trigger signal and snippets of stress level information of the person around the time moment of receiving the trigger signal.

Abstract: A strip-shaped substrate made from a film includes a plurality of units for producing chip carriers. Each unit has a chip island for fixing a semiconductor chip, electrodes for electrical connection of the semiconductor chip, and through-openings for structuring the unit. At least one through-opening forms an anchoring edge for a casting compound for encapsulating the semiconductor chip. A surface section of the film abutting the through-opening is chamfered to form the anchoring edge. The anchoring edge protrudes past the side of the film on which the chip island is arranged.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting the amount of power supplied to light sources in a phototherapy panel are configured to maintain irradiance at a level that corresponds to a recommended level. By virtue of such adjustments, infants with jaundice can be treated and/or a notification that the light sources need to be replaced maybe determined.

Abstract: A mattress is described that provides phototherapy and physical support to a subject. The mattress comprises a gel material and a set of light sources. The gel material provides a cushioned support surface and is optically translucent to the therapeutic electromagnetic radiation. The set of light sources emit electromagnetic radiation which can be selectively controlled and diffused through the gel material onto the subject. The efficacious wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation are incident on the subject supported by the mattress.

Abstract: For the measurement of vital sign information such as a respiratory rate and a heart rate a device for obtaining vital sign information of a subject is provided, comprising a first detection unit that acquires first set of detection data allowing the extraction of a first vital sign information signal related to a first vital sign of the subject and a second detection unit that acquires a second set of detection data allowing the extraction of a second vital sign information signal related to a second vital sign of the subject. An analysis unit extracts the first vital sign information signal from the first set of detection data (3a) and extracts the second vital sign information signal from the second set of detection data. A processing unit combines the first vital sign information signal and the second vital sign information signal to obtain a combined vital sign information signal.
