20140148663	DEVICE AND METHOD FOR EXTRACTING PHYSIOLOGICAL INFORMATION - The present invention relates to a device and a method for extracting physiological information from detected electromagnetic radiation emitted or reflected by a subject. A data stream derived from detected electromagnetic radiation is received. The data stream comprises a continuous or discrete characteristic signal including physiological information indicative of at least one vital parameter, the characteristic signal comprising at least one indicative signal component representative of a detected spectral portion indicative of the at least one vital parameter. The data stream at least sectionally comprises at least one auxiliary signal component detected along with the at least one indicative signal component, the at least one auxiliary signal component being representative of a distinct spectral portion. A characteristic signal discrepancy between at least one of the at least one indicative signal component and the at least one auxiliary signal component is detected, the signal discrepancy being related to a physiological state of the subject. A signal calibration parameter is determined under consideration of the detected signal discrepancy. Consequently, the at least one vital parameter can be detected under consideration of the calibration parameter.	05-29-2014

20090030407	Apparatus and Method to Predict Individual Maximum Safe Radiant Exposure (IMSRE) Based on Measurement of Temporal Temperature Increase Induced by a Sub-Therapeutic Laser Pulse - A method for making pulsed photothermal radiometric measurements to determine individual maximum safe radiant exposure (IMSRE) of biological subjects corresponding to radiant energy exposure (RE) without any use of a biological model includes a calibration procedure, including the steps of applying a statistical regression to an empirical data set of IMSRE and temporal REs applied to a sample population of the subjects to determine a IMSRE corresponding to each temporal RE. The IMSRE is set so that using the statistical regression separation of the data set into an acceptable injury grouping and an unacceptable injury grouping is obtained with a predetermined limitation of the proportion of subjects having unacceptable injury at a temporal RE below the corresponding IMSRE. The separation of the data set is thus used to predict an IMSRE for a corresponding temporal RE to a biological subject not included in the sample population.	01-29-2009
