    Abstract: A device has a first and second PPD sensor configured for placement over an artery; a camera between the first and second PPD sensors; and a processor having memory with firmware for determining pulse transit time (PTT) between the PPD sensors, and determines blood pressure (BP) therefrom using a calibrated conversion from PTT to BP. The firmware also obtains initial and subsequent images of the artery, extracts features, and adjusts calibrated conversion from PTT to BP based upon features extracted from the initial and subsequent images of the artery. In embodiments the processor enhances the initial and subsequent images of the artery using a structured light tomographic enhancement process. A method uses first and second PPD sensors placed over an artery to determine pulse transit time; obtains initial and subsequent images of the artery with a camera; and uses features extracted from the initial and subsequent images of the artery to adjust a calibrated conversion from PTT to BP.

    Abstract: A collimator for under-display fingerprint sensing includes (a) a substrate having opposite facing first and second sides, (b) an array of microlenses disposed on the first surface for focusing light from a fingerprint surface onto a focal plane that is between the array of microlenses and the second side of the substrate such that the light, as projected by the array of microlenses, is diverging when exiting the second side of the substrate, and (c) an array of apertures between the array of microlenses and the substrate, wherein each of the apertures is aligned to and cooperates with a respective one of the microlenses to form a field-of-view-limited lens having a field of view corresponding to a respective local portion of the fingerprint surface.
