Abstract: A monitor that includes multiple detection channels having multiple input ports for receiving a group of electrical physiological signals from a person; wherein multiple switching circuits of the monitor are configured according to a first configuration when the monitor operates in a first mode, thereby causing each electrical physiological signal of the group to be processed by up to a single selected detection channel of the multiple detection channels; wherein the multiple switching circuits of the monitor are configured according to a second configuration when the monitor operates in a second mode thereby causing one or more of the multiple electrical physiological signals of the group to be processed by at least two selected detection channels of the multiple detection channels.

Abstract: A method to automatically process social media data includes capturing captured data, describing actions and/or context relating a user across multiple social media systems. The captured data is stored within a database. One or more interfaces are provided in order to provide access to the stored captured data. A rules database is configured to store multiple social media rules (e.g., behaviors) that may be associated with a user. A behavior engine is configured to perform autonomous activities, on behalf of a user with respect to multiple social media platforms, based on the social medial rules and/or the captured data.

Abstract: A sensing device includes a pair of infrared sensors comprising respective temperature-sensitive transistors, which are configured to generate respective output signals in response to incident thermal radiation, and which are coupled together in a differential circuit topology that includes at least one differential amplifier that follows the temperature-sensitive transistors, so as to amplify a difference between the respective output signals.

Abstract: A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and computer-implemented method for presenting a set of intention objects arranged by coarse time windows is disclosed. In example embodiments, the method may include accessing a set of intention objects belonging to a user. Each of the intention objects may define the intention of the user to undertake an intention and each object may comprise a data structure including a plurality of activity attributes of the intended activity. The method may further include assigning particular intention objects of the set of intention objects to a coarse time window based on the attributes of the respective intention objects. The method may further include presenting at least a portion of the set of intention objects to a user in a day view that is arranged based on the assigned coarse time windows.

Abstract: A sensing device includes an array of sensing elements. Each sensing element includes a thermal infrared sensor, configured to output an electric signal in response to an intensity of infrared radiation that is incident on the sensor. An individual reflector is formed integrally with the sensor at a location separated from the sensor by one quarter wave at a selected wavelength of the infrared radiation.

Abstract: A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and computer-implemented method for providing scheduling suggestions to a user. A collection of intention objects is accessed. Each of the intention objects is a data structure comprising a plurality of activity attributes of an intention of a user to undertake an activity. Calendar data from a calendar of the user is accessed and an available time slot on the calendar is determined. In response to determining the available time slot, a suggested intention object is selected from the collection of intention objects based on a plurality of activity attributes of the suggested intention object. A scheduling suggestion is then presented to the user. The scheduling suggestion may include a suggestion to schedule an activity associated with the suggested intention object in the available time slot.
