Apparatus and method for measuring biologic parameters
First Claim
1. A support structure for use in measuring biological parameters in a brain temperature tunnel, said support structure being mounted adjacent to the brain temperature tunnel, said support structure comprisinga body,said body including a nose piece for a pair of eyeglasses,said nose piece including an extension having a temperature sensor configured to measure temperature signals produced on the skin at an end of the brain temperature tunnel, andsaid body locating said nose piece so that the extension is positioned adjacent to a medial corner of an eye above a medial canthal tendon and in a medial third of an upper eyelid when said body is worn by an individual,said body including a reporting device, said reporting device being configured to transmit a signal based upon a measurement by the sensor at the brain temperature tunnel.

Abstract
Support structures for positioning sensors on a physiologic tunnel for measuring physical, chemical and biological parameters of the body and to produce an action according to the measured value of the parameters. The support structure includes a sensor fitted on the support structures using a special geometry for acquiring continuous and undisturbed data on the physiology of the body. Signals are transmitted to a remote station by wireless transmission such as by electromagnetic waves, radio waves, infrared, sound and the like or by being reported locally by audio or visual transmission. The physical and chemical parameters include brain function, metabolic function, hydrodynamic function, hydration status, levels of chemical compounds in the blood, and the like. The support structure includes patches, clips, eyeglasses, head mounted gear and the like, containing passive or active sensors positioned at the end of the tunnel with sensing systems positioned on and accessing a physiologic tunnel.
