Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to techniques for controlling the temperature of light sources within physiological sensors in order to regulate the wavelengths emitted by the light sources. The sensors may include a temperature control element that is designed to provide heating and/or cooling to the light sources. The sensors also may include a temperature sensor designed to detect the temperature of the light sources. Based on the detected temperature, a controller can vary the amount of heating and/or cooling provided by the temperature control element to maintain the temperature of the light sources at a desired temperature or within a desired temperature range.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system comprising: a sensor comprising: one or more light sources configured to emit one or more wavelengths of light corresponding to physiological parameters of a patient; an encoder storing data indicative of one or more peak wavelengths of light emitted by the one or more light sources; a thermoelectric element configured to provide cooling or heating to the one or more light sources to regulate the wavelengths of light emitted by the one or more…
