Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to ear-wearable stress and anxiety monitoring systems, devices and methods. Embodiments herein further relate to ear-wearable systems and devices that can detect and take actions to alleviate device wearer's stress and anxiety. In an embodiment an ear-wearable stress and/or anxiety monitoring system is included having a control circuit, a microphone, and a sensor package that can include a motion sensor. The ear-wearable system is configured to evaluate data from at least one of the microphone and the sensor package and classify a stress level of a device wearer using a machine learning classification model and periodically update the machine learning classification model based on indicators of stress experienced by the device wearer.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to ear-wearable systems and devices that can detect and/or take actions to prevent or alleviate stress related conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the like. In an embodiment, an ear-wearable stress therapy system is included having a control circuit, a first sensor package, a microphone, and an electroacoustic transducer, wherein the electroacoustic transducer is in electrical communication with the control circuit. The ear-wearable stress therapy system can be configured to initiate administration of desensitization and reprocessing (DR) therapy to a device wearer. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Abstract: Calibrating alignments of a data storage library includes determining an alignment offset by aligning an emitter attached to a media transport assembly (MTA) with a reference location located at a storage area, determining a sensor offset by aligning a sensor attached to the MTA with a reference target located at the storage area, wherein the sensor offset is a function of the alignment offset, and determining a specific offset by aligning the sensor with a specific target, wherein the specific offset is a function of the sensor offset, wherein the specific offset is used to determine an actual position of a specific location located near the specific target.

Abstract: An integrated multi-mode transducer for use with a member to control movement of the member. The transducer includes an active element adaptable to engage the member. The active element is changeable from a first shape to a second shape in the presence of an electromagnetic field. Apparatus including a controller is provided for producing an electromagnetic field which extends through at least a portion of the active element to change the shape of the active element and thus exert a force on the member, for sensing movement of the member and for damping movement of the member. A method for using the transducer is provided.
