  • Patent number: 11996190
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to aggregating and sharing wellness data. The wellness data can be received by a user device from any number of sensors external or internal to the user device, from a user manually entering the wellness data, or from other users or entities. The user device can securely store the wellness data on the user device and transmit the wellness data to be stored on a remote database. A user of the device can share some or all of the wellness data with friends, relatives, caregivers, healthcare providers, or the like. The user device can further display a user's wellness data in an aggregated view of different types of wellness data. Wellness data of other users can also be viewed if authorizations from those users have been received.

  • Patent number: 4306223
    Abstract: A data handling system for converting an analog signal into binary form for storage or transmission to a remote receiver and subsequent reconstruction back into a facsimile of the original analog signal. The encoder portion of the system, which is a synthetic equivalent of an adaptive inverse filter, includes a signal comparator, an adaptive function generator and a binary pulse generating means. The signal comparator provides a signal responsive to the difference between the input analog signal and the output of the function generator, and the pulse generating means converts the difference signal into the encoded binary form for storage or transmission to a receiver. The decoder portion of the system includes an adaptive RC filter means which is controlled by the encoded data so as to reconstruct the original analog signal.

  • Patent number: 4135214
    Abstract: A method and apparatus wherein novel adaptive encoding and decoding processes are utilized to reduce the quantity of symbols or descripters required to transmit or store different classes of digital information. The codes used to describe repetitious binary sequences are caused to vary in length in accordance with a well-defined procedure to more efficiently represent the original data.

  • Patent number: 4084196
    Abstract: An electronic half-tone generating circuit for enabling a black and white facsimile transmission system to accurately and efficiently transmit and reproduce images including shades of grey as well as black and white and including an integrator responsive to a first data signal and operative to integrate the difference between an input analog signal and a first reference potential to develop a first integral signal commensurate therewith, and responsive to a second data signal and operative to integrate the difference between the input analog signal and a second reference signal to develop a second integral signal commensurate therewith, a comparator responsive to the first and second integral signals and operative to develop a comparison signal when the first and second integral signals exceed a predetermined threshold value, and a signal generator responsive to the comparison signal and operative to develop the first data signal upon each odd numbered occurrence of the comparison signal and to develop the se

  • Patent number: 3952931
    Abstract: Apparatus for separating an assembled insulated wire terminal from a carrier strip segment. The assembled terminal has an insulating plastic sleeve surrounding the metal body, the forward end of the body being attached to the carrier strip segment at a prescored separation line extending generally parallel to the length of the carrier strip and within the sleeve. The apparatus comprises positioning means to retain the assembled wire terminal in a fixed position, and flexing means to flex the carrier strip segment at the prescored separation line successively in two senses with respect to the wire terminal retained in the fixed position, to separate the carrier strip segment from the terminal at the prescored separation line within the sleeve.
