Abstract: A user-wearable device incorporates a respirator or breathing air filter in combination with an electronic system providing functionality to a wearing user. The functionality can include, for example, physiological data sensing, environmental data sensing, user input, user output, and communication network connectivity. The electronic system can be configured to communicate with an application executing on a user host device, such as a mobile phone, tablet or personal computer for transferring information gathered by the user-wearable device. The application executing on the user host device can be used to configure the user-wearable device. User host devices of multiple users can be configured to report gathered data to a data management system, which can aggregate and store data and perform analysis on the aggregated data. Various control arrangements may be used.

Abstract: A multiple wavelength optical sensor has an emitter configured to radiate light having a plurality of wavelengths into a tissue site. The emitter comprises a plurality of LEDs configured in an array and connected within an electrical grid. A detector is configured to receive the light after absorption by pulsatile blood flow within the tissue site. The detector generates a sensor signal capable of being processed by a patient monitor so as to derive oxygen saturation, carboxyhemoglobin, methemoglobin and total hemoglobin.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include a sensor emitter including a reflective cavity for re-directing light to a tissue site. By reflecting light towards the tissue site, the amount of light reaching the tissue site is increased. The increased light can improve parameter measurements taken by a non-invasive physiological sensor by producing a stronger and/or cleaner signal. In an embodiment, the reflective cavity is formed on one or more lead frames of the sensor emitter, wherein the lead frames are capable of transmitting electrical signals to emitting elements coupled to the lead frames. Aspects of the present disclosure also include a sensor component configured to protect connection points of wires to conductive leads on the sensor components by inhibiting flex or bending at the connection points. Connection points can protrude along edges of the sensor component. Aspects of the present disclosure also include techniques and processes for producing low-profile sensors.

Abstract: A ceramic emitter substrate has a substrate body with top and bottom sides and a cavity disposed on the top side. Bonding pads are disposed within the cavity and solder pads are disposed on the bottom side. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are electrically connected to the bonding pads. Low-resistance conductors are disposed within the ceramic substrate body so as to interconnect the bonding pads and the solder pads. The interconnect is configured so that the LEDs can be individually activated as an array via row and column drive signals applied to the solder pads.
