摘要： A body-worn sensor that measures respiratory rate and other vital signs using an acoustic sensor (e.g., a small-scale sensor). The body-worn sensor features a chest-worn patch sensor that combines both the acoustic sensor and an ECG electrode into a single adhesive patch. To measure blood pressure, the device additionally performs a ‘composite’ PTT-based measurement that features both pressure-dependent and pressure-free measurements. The acoustic sensor measures respiration rate by recording sounds related to the patient's inspiration and expiration. The acoustic sensor is typically placed near the patient's trachea, but can also be placed on the middle right and left side of the chest, and the middle right and left side of the back.

摘要： A method for determining the thickness of a thin sample is described. The method includes the step of exciting time-dependent acoustic waveguide modes in the sample with an excitation radiation field. The acoustic waveguide modes are detected by diffracting probe radiation off a ripple morphology induced on the sample's surface by the acoustic waveguide modes. The diffracted probe radiation is then analyzed to measure phase velocities or frequencies of the acoustic waveguide modes. A thickness of the thin sample is determined by comparing the measured phase velocities or frequencies to the phase velocities or frequencies calculated from a mathematical model.

摘要： A method for measuring a structure that contains overlying and underlying films in a region where the overlying film's thickness rapidly decreases until the underlying film is exposed (e.g., an edge-exclusion structure). The method includes the steps of: (1) exciting acoustic modes in a first portion of the region with at least one excitation laser beam; (2) detecting the acoustic modes with a probe laser beam that is either reflected or diffracted to generate a signal beam; (3) analyzing the signal beam to determine a property of the structure (e.g., the thickness of the overlying layer) in the first portion of the region; (4) translating the structure or the excitation and probe laser beams; and (5) repeating the exciting, detecting, and analyzing steps to determine a property of the structure in a second portion of the region.
