Emer Doheny has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11796665
    Abstract: One or more sensors are configured for detection of characteristics of moving objects and living subjects for human identification or authentication. One or more processors, such as in a system of sensors or that control a sensor, may be configured to process signals from the one or more sensors to identify a person. The processing may include evaluating features from the signals such as breathing rate, respiration depth, degree of movement and heart rate etc. The sensors may be radio frequency non-contact sensors with automated detection control to change detection control parameters based on the identification of living beings, such as to avoid sensor interference.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180353138
    Abstract: A sensor may be configured to detect periodic limb movement in a sleeping person. The sensor may be a non-contact sensor, such as a radar motion sensor. The sensor may include a radio frequency transmitter for emitting radio frequency signals toward the person. The sensor may include a receiver for receiving reflected ones of the emitted radio frequency signals and processing the reflected ones of the emitted radio frequency signals to produce motion signal(s). A processor, such as one integrated with or coupled to the sensor, may evaluate the motion signals, such as in-phase and quadrature motion signals, and generate an indicator to identify occurrence of periodic limb movement in the motion signals based on the evaluation of the motion signals.

  • Publication number: 20120144916
    Abstract: Methods and systems may include a single gyroscope and gait logic to receive angular velocity data from the single gyroscope. The gait logic can also determine a stride length of an individual based on the angular velocity data. In one example, the gait logic integrates the angular velocity data to obtain angular displacement data and determines a stride length based at least in part on the angular displacement data.
