Abstract: A patient monitor can noninvasively measure a physiological parameter using sensor data from different measurement sites on a patient. The patient monitor can combine all sensor data from different measurement sites into a raw or minimally processed data form to generate a single, robust measurement of the physiological parameter. An optical sensor of a patient monitor can include multiple photodetectors each configured to generate a signal when detecting light attenuated by the patient's tissue. A measurement of a physiological parameter can be determined based on at least in part on the multiple signals from the multiple photodetectors.

Abstract: A patient monitor can noninvasively measure a physiological parameter using sensor data from a nose sensor configured to be secured to a nose of the patient. The nose sensor can include an emitter and a detector. The detector is configured to generate a signal when detecting light attenuated by the nose tissue of the patient. An output measurement of the physiological parameter can be determined based on the signals generated by the detector. The nose sensor can include an inner prong and an outer prong to assist the nose sensor in securing to a patient's nose. The detector can be coupled to an inner post of the inner prong and can be configured to secure to an interior or exterior portion of the patient's nose.

Abstract: Various noninvasive physiological sensors are described herein. Some implementations of the sensors described herein include multiple emitters and/or detectors positioned at various portions of a measurement site and configured to operate in either or both of transmittance and reflectance modes. In one implementation, a noninvasive physiological sensor includes a body portion configured to secure to a finger of a subject, an emitter operably positioned by the body portion at a first side of the finger and configured to emit light of one or more wavelengths into tissue of the finger, a first detector operably positioned by the body portion at a second side of the finger opposite the first side, and a second detector operably positioned by the body portion at a third side of the finger and offset approximately 90 degrees from the emitter with respect to an axis extending through at least a portion of the body portion.

Abstract: The embodiments herein disclose a retrofitted or in built or add-on kit/device for airborne vehicles to reduce the aerodynamic drag thereby increasing performance parameters/metrics of the vehicles. Drag reduction is achieved through shape/contour optimization, and/or heat/energy/fluid addition to the flow in neighbourhood of the vehicle. The device is designed with an external surface to offers the minimum drag. The device is configured to deposit heat/energy/fluid in neighbourhood of flying vehicle in several ways by generating/injecting hot gases in neighbourhood of vehicle for energy/heat addition, thereby causing maximum drag reduction. Heat/energy/fluid is added through the nozzles in the add-on kit/device.
