Patent number: 11517260Abstract: A system for monitoring fetal health data and mother health data comprises a belly-covering garment that is configured to at least partially cover a belly and to hold one or more sensor modules directly adjacent to the belly. One or more sensor modules disposed within the belly-covering garment. The one or more sensor modules comprise a pulse-oximeter sensor that gathers pulse oximetry data from the mother through contact with the belly. The one or more sensor modules also comprise an accelerometer sensor that gathers movement data from the mother. Additionally, the one or more sensor modules comprise a fetal sensor that gathers health data from a fetus within the belly.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Owlet Baby Care, Inc.Inventors: Kurt G. Workman, Daniela Turner, Ali Carlile, Ethan Lawrence, Paul Allen, Zack Bomsta, Ryan Workman, Bruce Olney, Sean Kerman, Ajay Iyer

Patent number: 11517225Abstract: A multi-purpose biometric sensor includes both a transmissive topology and reflective topology for measuring biometric information. The multi-purpose biometric sensor is configured to allow for dynamically switching between the transmissive topology and the reflective topology based on user input or a current measuring scenario. The multi-purpose biometric sensor includes multiple types of light emitting sources and is further configured to dynamically switch between different types of light emitting sources based on user input or a current measuring scenario. The multi-purpose biometric sensor is further configured to measure multiple biometric signals from a single sensor.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2018Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Owlet Baby Care, Inc.Inventor: Zack Bomsta

Patent number: 11490838Abstract: A computer system for simultaneously sampling multiple light channels is configured to emit a first pulse-oximetry light signal from a first light source and to emit a second pulse-oximetry light signal from a second light source. The computer system then captures a combined pulse-oximetry signal from both the first pulse-oximetry light signal and the second pulse-oximetry light signal simultaneously at a photoreceptor sensor. The computer system identifies information within the combined pulse-oximetry signal, wherein the first light source and the second light source capture different attributes of the information.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2020Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: Owlet Baby Care, Inc.Inventors: Caleb Chamberlain, Zack Bomsta

Publication number: 20210393202Abstract: A monitoring device is disclosed having a band or sock or garment configured to be placed about a portion of a subject. The sock or garment houses a sensing module to measure health parameters of the subject. The sensing module has a sensor assembly that is optimized to detect when the device is not properly situated on the subject in order to minimize false readings and/or to improve the reliability of readings from the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Inventors: Cory Jones, Branden Sheffield, Zack Bomsta

Patent number: 9846413Abstract: A safety shut-off system and method are provided for eliminating power to a load in the event of smoke detection. The system may comprise a device located at the appliance for detecting a signal from a smoke detector, and cutting power to the appliance only when the appliance is in use. The device may be synchronized with any standard smoke alarm signal to reduce the number of false positive shut-offs. The system may also comprise a smoke alarm hard-wired to a circuit breaker, for shutting off power to all appliances on a particular breaker upon receipt of a signal from the smoke alarm, and only when the appliances on the breaker are in use. The system may also have the ability to shut off one breaker, multiple breakers, or all breakers at different time increments to actively prevent and reduce the damages caused by fires.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2014Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: FIRE AVERT, LLC.Inventors: Peter Thorpe, Michael Sanders, Chase Roberts, Kevin Sanders, Zack Bomsta
