Patent number: 11291410Abstract: A personal information system is provided. The system may include a portable information device having a housing including a top surface defined at least partially by a display, a bottom surface configured with a central region in which an optical sensor, electrical connector, and data connector are positioned, the housing enclosing an internal volume in which a processor is provided, the top surface and bottom surface being coupled by a perimeter side edge extending therebetween, and a mounting structure formed at least partially around the perimeter side edge of the housing. The system may further include a frame, which may be connected to a band, the frame surrounding a void and configured to receive the mounting structure, the frame and mounting structure being releasably securable via a tongue and groove connection. The system may further comprise a dock to which the information device may be connected.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2018Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Monique Chatterjee, Carl Ledbetter, Sung Ho Son, Stephen Michael Christopher, Michael Jerome Ferlan

Publication number: 20140171812Abstract: Embodiments relate to non-invasive medical devices, systems and methods for the detection of coronary artery disease. In an embodiment, a handheld coronary artery disease (CAD) detection device is used in a non-invasive manner to determine whether an internal coronary artery blockage is present. The CAD detection device can be used in conjunction with an identification element, such as scanning area identification pads or a scanning area guide, to aid in the proper placement of the CAD detection device while scanning a patient. Advantages of embodiments include non-invasive test procedures; quick results; and cost-effectiveness.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2012Publication date: June 19, 2014Applicant: AUM CARDIOVASCULAR, INC.Inventors: Marie A.
