TLDR
In this paper, a noninvasive optical probe having an electrical connector for connecting the optical probe to a cable connector is described. But it is not shown how to use this connector in practice.Abstract:
The invention is a noninvasive optical probe having an electrical connector for connecting the optical probe to a cable connector. According to one embodiment, the electrical connector includes a durable flexible tab suspended between the housing of the optical probe and a protective cover. The electrical connector also advantageously forms, according to various embodiments, a flexible, plugable, lockable, removable, and sealable electrical connection.read more

Medical sensor and technique for using the same
TL;DR: In this article, a medical sensor is adapted to account for factors that cause irregularities in pulse oximetry measurements or other spectrophotemetric measurements using surface features that reduce the amount of outside light or shunted light that impinge the detecting elements of the sensor.
Patent
Pulse oximetry data confidence indicator
TL;DR: In this paper, an intelligent, rule-based processor provides a pulse indicator designating the occurrence of each pulse in a pulse oximeter-derived photo-plethysmograph waveform.
Patent
Body-worn vital sign monitor
TL;DR: In this paper, a body-worn vital sign monitor that measures a patient's vital signs (e.g. blood pressure, SpO2, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature) while simultaneously characterizing their activity state (i.e. resting, walking, convulsing, falling) and posture (upright, supine).
Patent
Low power pulse oximeter
TL;DR: In this article, a pulse oximeter may reduce power consumption in the absence of overriding conditions, such as high noise conditions or oxygen desaturations, without sacrificing performance during high temperature conditions.
