Abstract: A method and system for determining training status of a user from exercises using a device with a heart rate sensor, a processor, memory, an output device and software. The training status is selected from a fixed group of alternatives. Each exercise is monitored using the heart rate sensor. Chosen exercise characteristics of each executed exercise are determined using obtained heart rate data and the determined characteristics of each executed exercise are stored in a memory. The chosen exercise characteristics include values of at least following variables: a date of the exercise, a value depicting physical readiness level for exercise during the exercise, a value depicting a training load of the exercise. When the exercises have been executed, values of selection variables are calculated using the stored exercise characteristics in the memory.

Abstract: Techniques to generate two separate temperature independent reference voltages. The reference voltages can be generated using a chain of ?VBE cells. A cross-quad ?VBE-cell-based bandgap voltage reference can cancel out noise of associated current sources by forcing them to correlate. Several ?VBE stages can be cascaded together to generate an appreciable PTAT component that can cancel the CTAT component from VBE. In some example configurations, only BJTs are used—without requiring use of an amplifier—to generate the bandgap voltages; in this way, extremely low noise voltage references can be generated. The PTAT and the CTAT voltages can be combined to generate a bandgap voltage of approximately VG0 or approximately 2VG0.

Abstract: An ECG system measures and annotates the P-point of an ECG waveform from harmonic waveforms. Electrical impulses are received from a beating heart. The electrical impulses are converted to an ECG waveform. The ECG waveform is converted to a frequency domain waveform, which, in turn, is separated into two or more different frequency domain waveforms, which, in turn, are converted into a plurality of time domain cardiac electrophysiological subwaveforms and discontinuity points between these subwaveforms. The plurality of subwaveforms and discontinuity points are compared to a database of subwaveforms and discontinuity points for normal and abnormal patients. A discontinuity point is identified as the P-point of the ECG waveform from the comparison. Similar measurements are made for the P?-point, I-point, J-point, and T?-point. Distances from these points to the equipotential line are calculated and used to detect blockages leading to myocardial infarction.

Abstract: A handheld radio device that incorporates within equipment typically carried by a first-responder but with added functionality which enables assessments of a subject's cognitive, auditory, visual, and speech function. In addition to providing two-way tactical radio functionality, the handheld radio device operates to generate haptic, audible, and visual stimuli, and then assess a subject utilizing the handheld radio device based on the subject's responses to the stimuli on the interfaces and sensors of the handheld radio device. Because this functionality is provided in equipment this is already typically carried by the first-responder, assessments that are more forward-deployed and closer to the point and time of injury, exposure, or period of interest can occur.

Abstract: An ECG system measures and annotates a subdivision of the P wave of the ECG waveform from harmonic waveforms. Electrical impulses are received from a beating heart. The electrical impulses are converted to an ECG waveform. The ECG waveform is converted to a frequency domain waveform, which, in turn, is separated into two or more different frequency domain waveforms, which, in turn, are converted into a plurality of time domain cardiac electrophysiological subwaveforms and discontinuity points between these subwaveforms. The plurality of subwaveforms and discontinuity points are compared to a database of subwaveforms and discontinuity points for normal and abnormal patients. Starting and ending discontinuity points are identified for a subdivision of the P wave of the ECG waveform and an APD is calculated for the subdivision. The ECG waveform is displayed along with a location of the P wave subdivision on the ECG waveform and the calculated APD.
