Abstract: This relates to a device that detects a user's motion and gesture input through the movement of one or more of the user's hand, arm, wrist, and fingers, for example, to provide commands to the device or to other devices. The device can include a plurality of myoelectric sensors configured to detect one or more electrical signals from a body part of a user indicative of one or more movements. A plurality of signals indicative of the detected one or more electrical signals may be generated. The device may also include a wireless communication transmitter configured to communicate with a peripheral device and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive the plurality of signals from the plurality of myoelectric sensors, use the plurality of signals together to determine a gesture, and communicate one or more of: the plurality of signals and the gesture to the peripheral device.

Abstract: This relates to a device that detects a user's motion and gesture input through the movement of one or more of the user's hand, arm, wrist, and fingers, for example, to provide commands to the device or to other devices. The device can be attached to, resting on, or touching the user's wrist, ankle or other body part. One or more optical sensors, inertial sensors, mechanical contact sensors, and myoelectric sensors can detect movements of the user's body. Based on the detected movements, a user gesture can be determined. The device can interpret the gesture as an input command, and the device can perform an operation based on the input command. By detecting movements of the user's body and associating the movements with input commands, the device can receive user input commands through another means in addition to, or instead of, voice and touch input, for example.

Abstract: A network of wearable sensors is disclosed that can include a first sensor configured to be worn or carried on a first part of a body and a second sensor configured to be worn or carried on a second part of the body. The network can include, or can communicate with, a mobile device that can receive sensor information from both the first and second sensors. The combined sensor information can be used to determine the stance or motions of a user wearing or carrying the first and second sensors. The sensor information can also be used to determine that a user is performing a particular activity, exercise, or the like. Recognized activities or exercises can be tracked and recorded throughout a workout. Sensors can also include mechanisms to provide user feedback, and software applications can provide statistics and progress information based on tracked activity.

Abstract: An inductive device comprises a coil former made of an electrical insulating material and at least one winding of an electrically conductive wire provided on the coil former. The coil former is provided with connection members which are made of an electrically conductive material and each of which has a fixing portion which is anchored in the coil former, a comparatively rigid attachment pin to which one end of the wire is secured, and a comparatively flexible contact pin which projects from the coil former. The attachment pin and the contact pin extend substantially in parallel and are interconnected by a connection portion which extends approximately transversely of their longitudinal direction. The fixing portion extends substantially as the prolongation of the attachment pin at the side of the connection portion which is remote from the attachment pin and the contact pin. The attachment pin has a cross-section which is larger and a length which is shorter than that of the contact pin.
