Abstract: The invention relates to a system, a method and a computer readable medium for monitoring, processing, analyzing and storing physiological signals for the recognition of emotions of at least one user, the monitoring is performed by at least one sensor of a plurality of sensors, monitoring signals corresponding but not limited to the heart rate, temperature, neuronal activity, electro-dermal activity, among others, so that after performing the processing of the signals, the emotional state of the user can be determined and with this information can modify the operation of different devices, which can be a car of different type, for when the user is a driver, a video game, for when the user is playing, an ATM, for when the user is going to make use of it, a toy, an appliance, home automation device, or any device or object that can be connected to the Internet.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for non-interfering blood pressure measurements, relates to an apparatus for continuously monitoring blood pressure for patients at home or at work. The apparatus includes an extra-corporal sensor for blood pressure determination with a flexible housing adapted to be attached to the body of a living being proximate to an artery, and an electronic circuit for wireless coupling to a remote transceiver in accordance with the blood pressure in the artery, the remote transceiver adapted for wireless coupling to the sensor for generation of a pressure signal in accordance with the blood pressure in the artery, and a processor connected to the remote transceiver for reception of the pressure signal and adapted to estimate systolic and diastolic pressure based on the signal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system for carrying out the method of determining at least one cardiovascular quantity of a mammal. The method comprises (i) selecting a measuring site of a vessel; (ii) determining or estimating a mean diameter of the vessel at the measuring site; (iii) determining a pulse wave velocity and/or another elasticity related quantity of the vessel at the measuring site; (iv) determining a distension of the vessel at the measuring site; and (v) calculating the at least one cardiovascular quantity from the determined mean diameter, elasticity related quantity and distension of the vessel at the measuring site.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, apparatus and sensor for measurement of cardiovascular quantities. In particular, a method for determining one or more cardiovascular quantities is disclosed, the method comprising determining the distension of a vessel enclosed by tissue having a skin surface, wherein determining the distension is based on a first sensor signal indicating capacitance variations between a first electrode and a second electrode; determining the vascular stiffness of the vessel; and determining the blood pressure based on the distension and the vascular stiffness of the vessel.

Abstract: A sensor system for measuring the blood pressure in such a way that the sensing position is in a correct position relative to the heart is devised. The system consists of a wireless sensing device, a transceiver, and a computing and recording device. The sensor reading is recorded wirelessly. The sensor is placed at a convenient location on the body. The coupling antennas are designed in such a way that the antenna characteristics ensures that only when the sensors is within a predetermined position relative to the heart will a recording of the blood pressure actually take place.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sensor and to a method for measuring torque and/or axial stresses applied to an object as well as a method for manufacturing magnetoelastic material to be used therefore. The sensor (20) comprises a magnetoelastic material and a sensing device (210) for non-contactingly sensing changes in permeability of the magnetoelastic material due to torque and/or axial stresses, said sensing device (310) comprising a coil system carrying out both an excitation and a pick-up function. The excitation frequency is so chosen that the pre-dominating process of magnetization of the magnetoelastic material will be small angle magnetization rotation, the excitation frequency being at least 300 kHz.
