Patent number: 11911179Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems that provide for reliable, convenient, and noninvasive assessment of hydration status. The methods and apparatuses can use the temporal sequence of the aortic value opening and closing along with the user's body position to derive parameters that determine the hydration status of the user. The user can use this information to make near-term lifestyle changes that can improve physical performance, health, and general wellbeing.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Medici Technologies LLCInventors: Mark Ries Robinson, Elena A Allen, Cole Derby, Akifusa Nakazawa, Haiping Liao, Michael Chad Makay

Publication number: 20230191200Abstract: A system may include an exercise device and an external device. The exercise device may include a rigid rod, a plurality of light sources, at least one load sensor for detecting an applied longitudinal force, and a first processor coupled to the at least one load sensor and to the plurality of light sources and configured to obtain a signal indicating a magnitude of the applied longitudinal force, and cause a subset of the plurality of light sources to emit light. The external device may comprise a communication interface, a display, and a second processor coupled to the communication interface and to the display and configured to establish a communication link with the exercise device using the communication interface, obtain data over the communication link, and cause the display to present information associated with the exercise device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2023Publication date: June 22, 2023Applicant: Disruptive Force LLCInventors: Nicholas P. SANDS, Justin ANDREWS, Krista S. JACOBSEN, Daniel K. HARDEN, Cole DERBY, Britt JENSEN

Patent number: 11571608Abstract: An exercise device comprises a rigid rod having a first and second ends, a plurality of light sources arranged in a row along at least a portion of an axis extending between the first and second ends of the rigid rod, at least one load sensor for detecting an applied longitudinal force, and a processor coupled to the at least one load sensor and to the plurality of light sources. The processor is configured to execute machine-executable instructions that cause the processor to obtain a signal indicating a magnitude of the applied longitudinal force, and cause a subset of the plurality of light sources to emit light. A ratio of a number of light sources in the subset to a total number of the plurality of light sources represents the magnitude of the applied longitudinal force relative to a reference longitudinal force.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Disruptive Force LLC, Campbell, CAInventors: Nicholas P. Sands, Justin Andrews, Krista S. Jacobsen, Daniel K. Harden, Cole Derby, Britt Jensen

Publication number: 20220256934Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an aerosol delivery device and system, e.g., a smoking substitute device and system. In particular an aerosol delivery device, comprising: a source of power, for providing power to a heater; a first charging connection, for charging the source of power, located at a first end of the aerosol delivery device; and a second charging connection, for charging the source of power.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2022Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: Daniel HARDEN, Cole DERBY, Akifusa NAKAZAWA, Cheng-Fu HSIEH, David THOMAS, Oliver TALBOT, Tom SUDLOW, Jonathan MARCHBANK

Publication number: 20220256930Abstract: A smoking substitute device is configured to record and store user data that is generated during operation of the device. Analyzing the user data can provide the user with useful information regarding their use of the smoking substitute device as well as useful information regarding the operational performance of the device. Typically, the analysis of the data would be conducted by a remote device and the smoking substitute device therefore includes a communication interface to connect and communicate with the remote device. The smoking substitute device and method of managing the smoking substitute device allows user data to be deleted from the device upon identification of a reset operation wherein the reset operation is able to be triggered from the connected remote device and/or the smoking substitute device. Providing a function to delete user data upon identification of a reset operation provides the user with some control over their information.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2022Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: David THOMAS, Oliver Talbot, Daniel Fard, Daniel Harden, Cole Derby, KaiKai Liu
