`

`’994 Patent Overview
`• The ’994 Patent’s earliest effective filing
`date is June 18, 1999.
`
`• The ’994 Patent includes 18 claims, of
`which claims 1, 9, 15, and 16 are
`independent.
`
`Independent claim 15 recites:
`•
`“A sensor which generates at least first and
`second intensity signals from a light-sensitive
`detector which detects light of at least first
`and second wavelengths transmitted through
`body tissue carrying pulsing blood; the sensor
`comprising: … a plurality of louvers
`positioned over the light sensitive detector
`….”
