摘要:
The present invention provides a memory chip for use in an oximeter sensor, or an associated adapter or connector circuit. The memory chip allows the storing of patient related data, such as patient trending data or a patient ID, to provide enhanced capabilities for the oximeter sensor. In addition to providing unique data to store in such a memory, the present invention include unique uses of the data stored in such a memory.

An RFID tag and an RFID access card configured to reduce detuning effects from a typical RFID environment. The present invention provides an RFID tag that is specifically configured to reduce the detuning effects caused by initiating communication between an RFID tag and an RFID tag reader in the presence of materials such as metal, liquid, and the human body. In one embodiment, the present invention provides an RFID tag comprising an electronic circuit portion attached to a main antenna body portion, the main antenna body portion having two opposite side portions, which are substantially symmetrical with respect to one another, wherein each side portion extends outwardly to form a generally side-oriented v-shape.
摘要:
An RFID antenna is fabricated to operate in three dimensions. An antenna including a first conductive trace and at least one second conductive trace is formed on an unfolded packaging substrate having a first surface and at least one second surface. An integrated circuit is connected across the conductive traces. The unfolded packaging substrate is formed into a three-dimensional package having multiple sides. For example, the unfolded packaging substrate is folded into a cube-shaped container having six sides. The integrated circuit is formed on a first side, while portions of the first and second conductive traces may be formed on both the first side and at least one second side. In this manner, the antenna is three-dimensional and operable to more effectively communicate with a three-dimensional electromagnetic field.

Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods that relate to pulse oximetry. Specifically, one embodiment includes an oximeter sensor, comprising a light emitting element configured to emit light, a light detector configured to receive the light, and a pressure switch that is sensitive to pressure present due to placement of the sensor on a patient, the pressure switch having a status indicative of sensor contact with the patient.
摘要:
A pulse oximeter sensor comprising an emitter and a detector disposed on a substrate layer with a thinned portion between the emitter and the detector. A partially transparent covering layer covers the substrate layer and comprises a corresponding thinned portion. The thinned portions attenuate light shunted via the substrate layer and the partially transparent covering layer from the emitter to the detector, and may be configured such that less than 10% of the light detectable by the detector is shunted light.

摘要:
A pulse oximeter sensor comprising a light emitter and a detector disposed on a substrate layer with a plurality of perforations or variations in thickness between the light emitter and the detector. The plurality of perforations or variations in thickness blocks or scatters light shunted via the substrate layer from the light emitter to the detector, and may be configured such that less than 10% of the light detectable by the detector is shunted light.
