Abstract: To accomplish 360-degree 6-DoF LED-based visual tracking, a tracked object has to be covered with sufficient number of LEDs so that when observed at any angle from an optical sensor, there are enough features to estimate the 6-DoF pose. Depending on the algorithm, typically, at least 4 feature points need to be seen in order to calculate the 6 DoF pose accurately. However, that would require many LEDs to be placed on the device for 360-degree visual coverage. As the number of LEDs increase, the device size increases because the LEDs need to be spaced out so that they will not fuse together into connected/overlapped blobs when seen from the optical sensor. Uniquely designed Lambertian Diffusers significantly reduce the number of LEDs required for 360 degree-6 DoF tracking and hence enable tracking with small form factor devices.

Abstract: Described methods and apparatus for a location determination and registration methodology for smart devices that involves creating a registration map of a bounded space, with various smart devices located therein in fixed positions, and for each smart device relative positions in which a gestural input device can communicate with it, and relative distances, signal strengths and the like associated therewith for each smart device being part of the registration map. Once created, the registration map can be used to allow for a particular smart device to communicate with the gestural input platform when that is intended and the two are properly oriented relative to each other.

Abstract: A wearable device for administering a pharmaceutical has a housing, a heart monitor disposed in the housing, a microprocessor connected to the heart monitor, a receptacle for holding a pharmaceutical disposed in the housing, the receptacle being in communication with a conduit leading out of the housing, an actuator connected to the receptacle and being configured to release the contents of the receptacle into the conduit upon a command from the microprocessor, and a power source disposed in the base body and being configured to power the microprocessor, the heart monitor and the actuator. The microprocessor is programmed to actuate the actuator to release the contents of the receptacle when a heart rate measured by the heart monitor falls outside a preprogrammed range.
