Abstract: This invention is eyewear (e.g. eyeglasses) with electrodes (e.g. EEG sensors) which collect brain activity data (e.g. electroencephalographic data) which can be used to predict and/or detect health events (e.g. epileptic seizure, stroke, or heart attack) or function as a BCI (Brain-to-Computer Interface) for communication. There can be anterior and posterior electrodes on the eyewear temple and the temple can have an upward and/or inward curving wave or arm. A posterior electrode can have multiple electroconductive protrusions to help penetrate between strands of hair.

Abstract: This invention is a method or system which uses machine learning and/or artificial intelligence (AI) to adjust, manage, and/or control the operation of one or more implanted medical devices. This method or system identifies the lagged effects of operating parameters of the one or more implanted medical devices on a person's biometric indicators and then adjusts the operating parameters of the one or more implanted medical devices to change the values of the biometric indicators in a desired direction and/or by a desired amount.

Abstract: This invention is Motion Recognition Clothing™ which measures the motion and/or configuration of a person's body using an energy-conducting mesh with a plurality of energy pathways. Energy input components direct energy into the pathways at a first set of locations. Energy sensors measure energy flow through the energy pathways from a second set of locations. As the person's body moves, the mesh stretches, elongates, and/or twists, which changes the flows of energy through pathways. These changes are then analyzed to estimate the motion and/or configuration of the person's body.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an article of smart clothing which automatically recognizes body configuration and motion. This smart clothing includes inertial motion units which are distal relative to selected joints and also sets of strain sensors which span those joints. The type of energy transmitted through a strain sensor can be electrical energy or light energy. Combined multivariate analysis of data from both inertial motion units and strain sensors provides more accurate recognition of body configuration and motion than data from either alone.

Abstract: This invention is a dry EEG electrode with an articulated distal base and/or a plurality of articulated conductive proximal protrusions which penetrate between strands of hair for good electromagnetic contact without causing discomfort or skin irritation.

Abstract: This invention is a device with an expandable light-emitting display which is worn on a persons' wrist and/or lower arm. The expandable display can be a flexible display which can be rolled and then expanded by unrolling it out from a housing. In an example, the flexibility of the expandable second display can be adjusted. The second display can be made flexible so that is can be rolled around a roller, but can also be made rigid for use as a touch screen in an expanded state.

Abstract: This invention is a dry electrode for use on a hair-covered area of a person's head to record EEG signals or deliver neurostimulation. This dry electrode has a plurality of electroconductive protrusions which extend out from a base toward the surface of a person's head. These protrusions slide through hair without being so narrow that they do not get good electrical contact and without being so stiff that they are uncomfortable for extended wear.

Abstract: A device, system, or method for estimating a person’s food consumption comprises two types of wearable sensors. A first type of sensor collects data to detect when the person consumes food. A second type of sensor is activated when data from the first type of sensor indicates that the person is consuming food. Data from these sensors are analyzed to estimate the types and amounts of food consumed by the person. This device, system, or method then provides feedback and/or coaching to the person to improve their eating habits.

Abstract: This invention is a system for nutritional monitoring and management which includes a camera, a spectroscopic sensor, a fiducial component, a wearable biometric sensor, a smart utensil or dish, a passive feedback mechanism which provides a person with information concerning food item types and/or quantities, and an active stimulus mechanism which modifies the person's food-related physiological processes. This system can help a person to improve their dietary habits and health.

Abstract: This invention is a smart watch with variable-configuration displays which combine to provide a larger combined display when needed. When a person does not need a large display area, then a plurality of displays on the watch fit around the person's wrist and/or arm in a relatively compact first configuration. When the person needs a larger display area, then the plurality of displays are moved into a second configuration which creates a large, coplanar, combined display.

Abstract: This invention is a non-invasive Brain to Computer Interface (BCI) method for interpreting a word, phrase, or command from brain activity by identifying a pattern of electromagnetic brain activity which occurs when a person uses different action modalities to communicate a word, phrase, or command. This method can enable people with neuromuscular limitations and/or paralysis to communicate. It can also enable people to communicate and/or to control environmental devices via their thought patterns in situations where communication via touch screen, keyboard, mouse, voice command, or gesture recognition is not appropriate and/or possible.

Abstract: This invention is a wearable device which helps a person to track their food intake as part of a system for nutritional intake monitoring and management. This invention can be embodied in a smart watch and/or wrist band with a camera, a display and/or camera viewfinder, a spectroscopic sensor, and an eating detector. The eating detector can be an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a magnetometer, a microphone, or an EMG sensor. The camera and/or the spectroscopic sensor can be automatically activated when the person eats food, but otherwise remain off to help maintain privacy.

Abstract: This invention is a wearable ring of optical biometric sensors comprising an arcuate array of light emitters and light receivers which is configured to collectively span at least half of the circumference of a person's wrist, finger, or arm. Light energy from the light emitters which has passed through the person's body tissue and/or has been reflected from the person's body tissue is analyzed in order to measure biometric parameters such as the person's oxygenation level, hydration level, glucose level, pulse rate, heart rate variability, and/or blood pressure.

Abstract: This invention is a smart face mask with a transparent portion which covers a person's mouth, at least one impellor-driven air filter, and at least one passive air filter, wherein the air filters are in fluid communication with the space between the transparent portion and the person's mouth. Air can be drawn into the mask through the impellor-driven air filter primarily by the impellor, but air flows into or out of the mask through the passive air filter due to the person's respiration.

Abstract: This invention is a smart face mask for air filtration with a transparent mouth-covering portion, an active air filtration system which filters both air inflow and air outflow, an environmental or biometric sensor, and a smart control mechanism wherein the operation of the active air filtration system is automatically adjusted based on analysis of data from the sensor.

Abstract: This invention provides innovative designs for wearable devices for the wrist and/or arm which include multiple displays and/or multi-configuration displays. This provides larger overall display size for better human-to-computer interaction, while being relatively comfortable and attractive. Designs with multi-configuration displays enable transition to larger overall display configurations when needed for human-to-computer interaction and more compact display configurations when not in use for such interaction.

Abstract: This invention is a protective face mask with a transparent portion which covers a wearer's nose and mouth, air intake and air exhaust ports on the front of the mask, one or more air impellors on the back of the wearer's head or neck, and one or more air tubes which conduct air between the air impellor and the transparent portion of the mask.
