Abstract: An apparatus may include a platen, a light source system and an ultrasonic receiver system. The platen may be configured to separate one or more received arterial ultrasonic waves generated by blood in an artery, by an arterial wall, or by a combination thereof, from one or more other types of received ultrasonic waves. The platen may have an outer surface with an acoustic impedance that is configured to approximate the acoustic impedance of human skin. The outer surface of the platen may be configured to conform to a surface of the human skin. The apparatus may include a noise reduction system. The light source system may include at least one multi-junction laser diode. The apparatus may include a mirror layer residing between the ultrasonic receiver system and the platen.

Abstract: An apparatus may include a platen, a light source system and an ultrasonic receiver system. The light source system may be configured to provide light to a target object on an outer surface of the platen. The light source system may be configured to direct the light along a first axis oriented at a first angle relative to the outer surface of the platen. The ultrasonic receiver system may be configured to receive ultrasonic waves generated by the target object responsive to the light from the light source system. The ultrasonic receiver system may include one or more receiver elements residing in a receiver plane. A normal to the receiver plane being may be oriented along a second axis at a second angle relative to the outer surface of the platen. The first angle may be different from the second angle.

Abstract: An apparatus may include a substrate, a light source system and a receiver system.
The light source system may be configured to emit light through an area of the substrate, from a first side of the substrate towards a target object in contact with a second and opposite side of the substrate. The receiver system may include one or more receivers residing in, on or proximate the substrate. The receiver system may be configured to detect surface acoustic waves propagating in the substrate corresponding to a photoacoustic response of the target object to light emitted by the light source system. In some examples, the apparatus may include a control system. The control system may be configured to receive surface acoustic wave signals from the receiver system corresponding to detected surface acoustic waves and to detect at least one structure within the target object based on the surface acoustic wave signals.-

Abstract: Techniques for operating an ultrasonic sensor array, the ultrasonic sensor array disposed under a platen, include making a determination whether or not to recalibrate the ultrasonic sensor array based on whether a first screen protector disposed above the platen has been removed or replaced by a second screen protector; and recalibrating the ultrasonic sensor array, when the determination is to recalibrate the ultrasonic sensor array. In some cases, the techniques include prompting a user to indicate whether or not the screen protector has been changed or removed, and recalibrating the ultrasonic sensor array only after confirmation from the user.

Abstract: Some disclosed examples involve receiving ultrasonic receiver signals from an ultrasonic receiver system corresponding to ultrasonic waves generated by a target object responsive to light from a light source system, estimating one or more blood vessel features based, at least in part, on the ultrasonic receiver signals and estimating blood pressure based, at least in part, on the one or more blood vessel features. Some disclosed examples involve receiving inertial sensor data from an inertial sensor system, determining whether the inertial sensor data indicates apparatus motion that exceeds a threshold and controlling a photoacoustic plethysmography (PAPG) system that includes the light source system and the ultrasonic receiver system according to whether the apparatus motion exceeds the threshold.

Abstract: An apparatus may include a platen, an electromagnetic interference (EMI)-reducing system including a first EMI-reducing layer, a light source system and a receiver system. The light source system may include a light-emitting component, light source system circuitry and a light guide system and may be configured to emit light through the first EMI-reducing layer to a first platen area via a light pipe between the first EMI-reducing layer and the platen. The light guide system may include a light-directing element for directing light from the first EMI-reducing layer to the light pipe. The receiver system may be configured to detect acoustic waves corresponding to a photoacoustic response of a target object in contact with the first platen area to light emitted by the light source system. The first EMI-reducing layer may reduce a level of EMI emitted by the light source system circuitry that is received by receiver system circuitry.
