  • Patent number: 11367364
    Abstract: A cue processor uses one or more sensors to obtain motion data for a user performing a physical task in an environment. A cueing law is based on a model determined from the motion data, for example a movement and skill model where the collected motion data are parsed into one or more movement units used to accomplish a range of outcomes. The cue processor generates a movement phase estimation to predict a movement phase and associated movement feature, and applies the cueing law to generate a cue signal. The cue signal is communicated to the user as a visual, audio or haptic stimulus, selected to target the feature for the user to achieve or improve a desired outcome.

  • Patent number: 11334803
    Abstract: This document describes a data processing system for processing a feature vector that comprises features (one or more) that are indicative of dyslexic behavior that are indicative of dyslexic behavior. The data processing system includes a feature classification engine that generates classification metrics for a feature vector. Machine learning logic is used to determine a classification metric for each feature. Features that have a classification metric below a pre-determined threshold are removed. The data processing system includes a prediction engine that generates a prediction value indicative of a predicted likelihood of dyslexia. The prediction engine assigns, to each remaining feature, based on the classification metric of the respective remaining feature, a prediction weight and determines the prediction value based on the prediction weights.
