摘要： The invention features a monitoring device that measures a patient's vital signs (e.g.). The device features a first sensor configured to attach to a first portion of the patient's body that includes: i)a first electrode configured to generate a first electrical signal fron the first portion of the patient's body; ii)a first light-emitting component; and iii)a first photodetector configured to receive radiation from the first portion of the patient's body after the radiation is emitted by the first light-emiting component and in response generate a first optical waveform. The device also features a second sensor that includes essentially the same components. An amplifier system, in electrical contact with the first and second electrodes, receives first and second electrical signal from the two sensors to generate an electrical waveform. A processor, in electrical contact with the amplifier system, receives the electrical waveform, the first optical waveform, and the second optical waveform. The processor runs computer code that processes the input waveforms with an algorithm to determine at least one of the patient's vital signs.

摘要： The invention relates to a method and device for simultaneously measuring multiple properties of a sample composed of multiple layers of films. The measurement features several steps. First, at least one source of excitation radiation irradiates the sample's surface to excite an acoustic mode. A probe source of radiation irradiates the acoustic mode and is diffracted off the surface of the sample to form a signal beam. A detector detects the acoustic mode to generate a signal beam, which is then analyzed to determine an acoustic frequency and an amplitude, a depth of modulation, or a decay constant. These properties are then further analyzed to determine of at least two properties (e.g., a thickness of two layers) of the sample.
