Publication number: 20240134099Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: XI LIAO, WEIJIA LONG

Patent number: 10856801Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2015Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Pedro Miguel Fonseca, Xi Long, Nicolaas Gregorius Petrus Den Teuling, Reinder Haakma, Ronaldus Maria Aarts

Publication number: 20200260967Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2018Publication date: August 20, 2020Inventors: Shaoxiong SUN, Wouter Herman PEETERS, Rick BEZEMER, Xi LONG, Ronaldus Maria AARTS

Patent number: 10702207Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2015Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Xi Long, Reinder Haakma, Pedro Miguel Ferreira Dos Santos Da Fonseca, Ronaldus Maria Aarts

Patent number: 10524674Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2015Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Pedro Miguel Fonseca, Xi Long, Nicolaas Gregorius Petrus Den Teuling, Reinder Haakma, Ronaldus Maria Aarts

Patent number: 10169409Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2015Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Serge Bourbonnais, Hong Min, Xiao Li, Gong Su, Ke Wei Wei, Xi Long Zheng

Patent number: 10169429Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2015Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Serge Bourbonnais, Zhen Hua Dong, Nan Jiang, Xiao Li, Hong Min, Gong Su, En Zhong Wang, Ke Wei Wei, Xi Long Zheng
