  • Publication number: 20240134099
    Abstract: A filter assembly includes a filter holder, a first filter set, a second filter set, a third filter set, and a fourth filter set. A first category of filters is capable of changing light effect by rotating. The first category of the filters is served as the first filter set, which is connected to the filter holder, and the light effect is changed by the rotation of the first filter set relative to the filter holder. A second category of filters changes the light effect by two filters relatively rotating or synchronously rotating with the first category of the filters. Regardless of form of rotation, a third category of filters does not change the light effect. The third category of the filters is served as the fourth filter set, which is disposed on a side of the third filter set facing away from the filter holder.

  • Publication number: 20240091786
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of garbage landfill. The present invention discloses a classified landfill device and method for garbage landfills, and the problem solved by the present invention is that the device proposed in the above background absorbs metals in the garbage using a magnet, but when the surface of the magnet has absorbed a large amount of metal, the device needs to be closed to treat the metal adsorbed on the surface of the magnet. The present invention comprises a screening mechanism, crushing mechanism and discharge mechanism. According to the classified landfill device and method for garbage landfill, the second crushing knife is set at an angle to divert the falling garbage to the front and rear sides, so that the two first crushing knives and the second crushing knife cooperate to crush the garbage respectively to avoid excessive accumulation of garbage.

  • Patent number: 10856801
    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a system configured to detect slow wave sleep and/or non-slow wave sleep in a subject during a sleep session based on a predicted onset time of slow wave sleep and/or a predicted end time of slow wave sleep that is determined based on changes in cardiorespiratory parameters of the subject. Cardiorespiratory parameters in a subject typically begin to change before transitions between non-slow wave sleep and slow wave sleep. Predicting this time delay between the changes in the cardiorespiratory parameters and the onset and/or end of slow wave sleep facilitates better (e.g., more sensitive and/or more accurate) determination of slow wave sleep and/or non-slow wave sleep.

  • Publication number: 20200260967
    Abstract: In a sensor system (12), output signals of at least one PPG sensor (14) are processed to derive a modified pulse amplitude variation (PAV) value, being modified to take account of a baseline variation of the PPG sensor output signal. In particular, the modified PAV is derived through performing a modification step (42) in which either: a baseline variation of the PPG sensor output is derived and combined with a previously derived PAV, or, a PPG sensor output is first processed to perform baseline variation compensation, in advance of then deriving a PAV from the compensated signal.

  • Patent number: 10702207
    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a system (10) configured to determine spectral boundaries (216, 218) for sleep stage classification in a subject (12). The spectral boundaries may be customized and used for sleep stage classification in an individual subject. Spectral boundaries determined by the system that are customized for the subject may facilitate sleep stage classification with higher accuracy relative to classifications made based on static, fixed spectral boundaries that are not unique to the subject. In some implementations, the system comprises one or more of a sensor (16), a processor (20), electronic storage (22), a user interface (24), and/or other components.

  • Patent number: 10524674
    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a system configured to determine one or more parameters based on cardiorespiratory information from a subject and determine sleep stage classifications based on a discriminative undirected probabilistic graphical model such as Conditional Random Fields using the determined parameters. The system is advantageous because sleep is a structured process in which parameters determined for individual epochs are not independent over time and the system determines the sleep stage classifications based on parameters determined for a current epoch, determined relationships between parameters, sleep stage classifications determined for previous epochs, and/or other information. The system does not assume that determined parameters are discriminative during an entire sleep stage, but maybe indicative of a sleep stage transition alone. In some embodiments, the system comprises one or more sensors, one or more physical computer processors, electronic storage, and a user interface.

  • Patent number: 10169409
    Abstract: A system for transferring data from a Relational Database Management System (“RDBMS”) to a big data platform and methods for making and using the same. The system can acquire a partitioning execution scheme of a selected table from the RDBMS and submitting partitioned queries from the big data platform to each mapper of partitions. The partitioned queries are generated based on the partitioning execution scheme. The partitioning execution scheme can be acquired by submitting a query explain request to an optimizer of the RDBMS to generating a parallel query plan. The partitioning execution scheme can also be acquired by querying statistics from a statistics catalog of the RDBMS or by user inputs. The system can use RDBMS capabilities and statistics for parallel data fetching. Thereby, the system can increase efficiency of the fetching and can avoid straggling when target data is not evenly distributed and can avoid table query-in-serial.

  • Patent number: 10169429
    Abstract: An integrated data processing system with two-tier data caching system and techniques for use thereof in a hybrid RDBMS and BDS computing environment are provided. In one aspect, the system is RDBMS-centric and uses two caches, one on the RDBMS side (1st tier) and the other on the BDS side (2nd tier). In another aspect, a DRDA wrapper on the BDS side enables the RDBMS to communicate with the BDS as if the BDS is another RDBMS. This is advantageous because the RDBMS already supports the DRDA protocol standard. In yet another aspect, the DRDA wrapper performs the data transformation needed when transferring cached objects between the RDBMS cache and BDS cache because RDBMS and BDS save data objects in different formats. This is advantageous because it offloads the computation from RDBMS to BDS therefore reducing the performance impact on RDBMS for its normal query and transaction processing.

  • Patent number: 9820698
    Abstract: An actigraphy method includes receiving a physiological parameter signal as a function of time for a physiological parameter other than body motion (such as electrocardiography or a respiration monitor), computing a body motion artifact (BMA) signal as a function of time from the physiological parameter signal (for example, using a local signal power signal, a local variance signal, a short-time Fourier transform, or a wavelet transform over epochs of duration on order a few minutes or less), and computing an actigraphy signal as a function of time from the BMA signal, for example by applying a linear transform to the BMA signal and optionally applying filtering such as median removal and/or high-pass filtering.
