Filed:

Apr 23, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/831706

Inventors:

Michael Patrick O'Neil - Sunnyvale CA, US
Paul Mannheimer - Danville CA, US

Assignee:

Nellcor Puritan Bennett Incorporated - Pleasanton CA

International Classification:

A61B 5/00

US Classification:

600344, 600310, 600323

Abstract:

An optical sensor having a cover layer, an emitter disposed on a first side of the cover, a detector disposed on the first side of said cover, and a plurality of stacked independent adhesive layers disposed on the same first side of the cover, wherein the top most exposed adhesive layer is attached to a patient's skin. Thus, when the sensor is removed to perform a site check of the tissue location, one of the adhesive layers may also be removed and discarded, exposing a fresh adhesive surface below for re-attachment to a patient's skin. The independent pieces of the adhesive layers can be serially used to extend the useful life of the product.

International Classification:

G06F 7/00
G06F 17/60

US Classification:

715747, 715821

Abstract:

A UI involving selection and display from a library of videos, including a “Mosaic” mode of operation, in which a primarily visual display is made of information about possible videos, with the effect that a user might select one such video in response to such visual display. The Mosaic includes an two-dimensional array of entries, each of which has visual information for that entry. The Mosaic collects relatively similar entries near to each other in the visual field seen by a user. The focus is centralized and emphasized, and has auxiliary information displayed for further understanding. The array is dynamically rearranged in response to change in focus and metadata about the entries. Relative weighting of that metadata is responsive to user choice. The array includes rows and columns each of which includes all possible entries, but offset by relatively prime values.

International Classification:

G06F 7/00
G06F 17/60

US Classification:

715747, 715821

Abstract:

A UI including a “Guide,” presenting a list of videos, having data fields relating to each entry, possibly including multiple data values for a single data field. When focusing on a single entry, the focused-upon entry is expanded and emphasized. The focused-upon entry is highlighted and centered, while other entries have lesser highlighting and centering. When a data field is selected, the focused-upon data field is emphasized (by highlighting, repositioning, or resizing), while other entries have lesser emphasis. Display changes might appear after a brief delay, or in response to further user command. When entries are sorted on selected data fields, entries with multiple data values for those fields are replicated, and the sorting letter is highlighted. The user can move individually down the list of entries, or skip to the next section with a different data value for a selected field.

International Classification:

A61B 5/1455

US Classification:

600323, 600310

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a system and method for practicing spectrophotometry using light emitting nanostructures. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention include a physiologic sensor comprising a sensor body configured for placement adjacent pulsatile tissue of a patient, a first light emitting nanostructure device configured to emit light at a first wavelength through the pulsatile tissue, a second light emitting nanostructure device configured to emit light at a second wavelength through the pulsatile tissue, and a light detector configured to detect the light at the first wavelength and the light at the second wavelength after dispersion through the pulsatile tissue.

International Classification:

A61M 16/00

US Classification:

12820715

Abstract:

There is disclosed an endotracheal tube to which an adhesion-resistant material, adhesion-resistant material is applied. Several techniques are disclosed for applying the adhesion-resistant material, adhesion-resistant material, including surface treatments, co-extrusion, and compounding. The adhesion-resistant material, adhesion-resistant material helps prevent the adhesion of microbes to the surface of the endotracheal tube. In this manner the cross-sectional area through which the patient may breathe is increased, effectively decreasing the work of breathing for the patient.
