  • Patent number: 10765319
    Abstract: Aspects relate to a portable device that may be used to identify a critical intensity and an anaerobic work capacity of an individual. The device may utilize muscle oxygen sensor data, speed data, or power data. The device may utilize data from multiple exercise sessions, or may utilize data from a single exercise session. The device may additionally estimate a critical intensity from a previous race time input from a user.

  • Patent number: 10748115
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing implants for surgical procedures. In some implementations, a model that has been trained using data indicating characteristics of other patients and items used in surgeries for the other patients is obtained. Using the model and patient characteristics for a patient, such as the height and weight of the patient, the items needed for a surgery for a particular patient can be identified. For example, the likelihoods that different sizes of an implant component will be needed can be identified and used to determine which sizes of components should be provided at a medical facility and in the operating room for the patient's surgery.

  • Patent number: 10749822
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for tracking of a conversation and management of multi-channel, multi-interaction customer conversations across multiple chat bots. One example system includes operations to receive a first signal comprising a first set of conversational input received via interactions with a conversational interface from a client device, the conversational interface associated with a plurality of chat bots and manages interactions between the client device and the plurality of chat bots. The received conversational input is analyzed to determine a context of the received conversational input based on characteristics of the received conversational input. A request is transmitted to an identified first chat bot associated with the determined context and a response is received from the identified first chat bot. The response is transmitted to the client device for presentation.

  • Patent number: 10657156
    Abstract: Aspects relate to athletic metric values from data received from different sources having different devices that employ different processes to calculate the values. Data may be received from a connected device that utilizes a first operating protocol, and be received by a device utilizing a second operating protocol. An activity metric may be identified from received data, and a determination may be made as to whether the activity metric is calculated using a best available data source. If it is determined that the received data represents a best available data source, the received data may be added to a metric database, the received data may be classified into an activity group, and an energy expenditure value may be calculated from the received data.

  • Publication number: 20200142531
    Abstract: An array of antennas form a sensor device. Some of the array of antennas function as receivers and some of the array of antennas function as transmitters. Each of the transmitters may transmit a unique frequency orthogonal signal that may be received at the receivers. Measurements of the received signal are then used to determine activity within field lines.
