Latest Patent Applications
Des Gibson's latest patent application is for a device known as a capnometer. This capnometer is designed to detect the concentration of a component in a gas that is inhaled and/or exhaled by a patient. The device includes an air flow region through which the gas passes to and/or from the patient's lung. It features a mid-IR semiconductor emitter that provides infrared light at a wavelength in the range of 3-5 μm. Additionally, it has a mid-IR semiconductor detector to detect the infrared light and a reflector to reflect the emitted infrared light. The arrangement of the emitter, detector, and reflector allows the infrared light to pass through the air flow region, facilitating accurate measurements.
Conclusion
Des Gibson's work in developing advanced medical devices like the capnometer showcases his dedication to improving patient care through innovation. His contributions to the field, although not yet reflected in granted patents, highlight the potential for future advancements in respiratory monitoring technology.
