Patent number: 11869385Abstract: The present invention manages knowledge through elementary knowledge units and systematized inventories of bodies of knowledge comprised of interrelated elementary knowledge units. Methods and systems of the present invention granulate articulations from sources into utterances that are semantically equivalent to elementary knowledge units, but that may be lexically inequivalent. These elementary knowledge unit outputs may be constellated to reflect compositional dynamics of a body of knowledge. A constellation of knowledge units may be updated based on updating the body of knowledge out of which they are granulated or by adding elementary knowledge units granulated from one or more sources. An individual source may be abstracted based on how it relates to the elementary knowledge units in a body of knowledge. Knowledge mastery may be imparted through one-at-a-time absorptions of elementary knowledge units.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2019Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Inventor: Erind Pajo

Patent number: 11844626Abstract: The invention is directed to systems and methods that can determine a user's fitness based on a single factor such as oxygen lung volume (pmVO2). A heart rate measurement is conducted on the user after the user performs a physical test specified by a fitness application of the system. The heart rate measurement is converted into a pmVO2 value and compared to pmVO2 values of other individuals. The system assigns the user a fitness grade based on the comparison result. The system further includes an artificial intelligent system that helps the user to move from a grade to a higher grade.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: COOPER HEALTH AND FITNESS APPLICATIONS, LLCInventors: Tyler Clark Cooper, Terdema Ussery, III
