Appl. No.:

11/809709

International Classification:

G01N 21/00

US Classification:

356 73

Abstract:

An apparatus, and method of its use, to determine a characteristic of a fluid sample contained inside a closed container. The ratio of intensity for detected radiation (e.g., light), subsequent to its transmission through the container's walls and fluid in the container, at each of a reference wavelength and a measurement wavelength is compared to a predetermined value to make a determination of the fluid's characteristic. Desirably, the wavelengths are applied to the same location on the container to minimize a source of signal error. The reference wavelength is selected for its substantial lack of attenuation when transmitted through a known fluid composition. The measurement wavelength is selected for its predictive interaction (e.g., absorption) with the fluid.

International Classification:

A61B 5/103

US Classification:

600595

Appl. No.:

12/467881

Inventors:

Mark A. Minor - Salt Lake City UT, US
Eric A. Johnson - Salt Lake City UT, US
Stacy J. Morris Bamberg - Salt Lake City UT, US

International Classification:

G01R 19/00

US Classification:

702 64

Abstract:

A method and system for tracking and updating bias in an inertial sensor by determining a maximum bias drift and a noise band for a sensor, determining a prior bias value of the sensor, and measuring a current bias value of the sensor. The method and system can further include calculating a bias difference between the prior bias value and the current bias value, and updating the prior bias value with the current bias value if the current bias value is within the noise band and the bias difference is less than or equal to the maximum bias drift.

International Classification:

G06F 19/00
G01P 15/14
G01P 21/00

US Classification:

702104, 702141

Abstract:

Generally, implementations of the present invention include devices, systems, and methods for tracking intermittent motion. Such systems can be used to calibrate inertial measurement units (IMUs), which can be used to obtain acceleration, linear and angular velocities, orientation, and position of a moving body. Such systems also can be used to account and compensate for errors and imperfections present in an IMU prior to and during operation.

International Classification:

A61B 5/00

US Classification:

600552

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to vibrometers, vibrometric systems, and methods of using the same. In particular, some embodiments of the vibrometers are capable of producing vibrotactile stimulation at any frequency between 1 and 500 Hz. Moreover, some embodiments of the vibrometer and/or vibrometric system are capable of applying vibrotactile stimulation to a test subject's skin to determine the existence of peripheral neuropathy. Additionally, some embodiments of the method can provide test subjects with comparative vibrotactile threshold test results that can aid in discovering and/or managing of peripheral neuropathy.
