  • Publication number: 20260123905
    Abstract: A Doppler blood flow monitoring device includes a signal generation module, a signal reception module, a signal filtration module, a signal conversion module, at least one speaker, and a user interface. The signal generation module is configured to send a signal to a probe positioned in a probe receptacle on a vascular coupler positioned about a patient's vessel. The signal reception module is configured to receive a return signal from the probe. The signal filtration module is configured to filter the return signal. The signal conversion module is configured to convert the filtered signal into an audible indication and a visual indication corresponding to a characteristic of blood flow in the patient's vessel. The at least one speaker is configured to emit the first audible indication. Additionally, the user interface is configured to display the visual indication.

  • Patent number: 12533104
    Abstract: A Doppler blood flow monitoring device (150) includes a signal generation module, a signal reception module, a signal filtration module, a signal conversion module, at least one speaker, and a user interface (304). The signal generation module is configured to send a signal to a probe (106) positioned in a probe receptacle on a vascular coupler positioned about a patients vessel. The signal reception module is configured to receive a return signal from the probe. The signal filtration module is configured to filter the return signal. The signal conversion module is configured to convert the filtered signal into an audible indication and a visual indication corresponding to a characteristic of blood flow in the patients vessel. The at least one speaker (214) is configured to emit the first audible indication. Additionally, the user interface is configured to display the visual indication.

  • Patent number: 10993185
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for reducing power consumption of a portable terminal are provided. More particularly, an apparatus and method for reducing power consumption generated in an idle state in order to solve a power consumption problem in a portable terminal are provided. The apparatus includes a state determination unit which is configured independently from an application processor for controlling applications and which wakes up when entering an idle mode to allow the application processor to sleep, and thereafter determines a state of the portable terminal, and if it is determined that the portable terminal escapes from the idle mode, allows the application processor to wake up.
