  • Publication number: 20120059927
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting, monitoring and profiling/correlating a subject's motions, such as rollovers, falls, shaking and tremors are disclosed. In particular, an infant's mobility event may cause critical event processing indicating that an infant has rolled over and may be suffocating. Such an event is classified as a Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)-like event. The system may include a wireless pendant device and a wireless monitor server. The wireless pendant device is configured to measure acceleration motion of a subject, to generate acceleration data from the acceleration motion and to communicate the acceleration data with the wireless monitor server. The wireless monitor server is configured to analyze the acceleration data communicated by the wireless pendant device and to provide an output related to the analysis.

  • Publication number: 20120002938
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-program products for detection of explicit video content compare pixels of a possible explicit video content with a color histogram reference. Areas of the video content are analyzed using a feature extraction technique using a cognitive learning engine, while multiple levels of weighted classifiers are used to rank particular video content.

  • Publication number: 20100152619
    Abstract: Force sensing methods, systems, and computer-program products may be used to sense pressure at a plurality of points of a user's foot, including its bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Such systems, methods, and computer-program products sense pressure along the bottom of a user's foot during sports training and monitoring applications, electronic games, and diagnostic systems. In particular, the system generally comprises a transducer having a plurality of points of interest, an insole node for collecting and transmitting data sensed at the plurality of points of interest, first means for coupling that data across a network, by way of second means for coupling same to a collector node, and then to a computer.

  • Publication number: 20090033622
    Abstract: The SmartScope technology implements perceptual interfaces with a focus on machine vision and establishes a footprint for data collection based on the field of view of the data collecting device. The SmartScope implemented in a retail environment integrates multiple perceptual modalities such as computer vision, speech and sound processing, and haptic (feedback) Input/Output) into the customer's interface. The SmartScope computer vision technology will be used as an effective input modality in human computer interaction (HCI).

  • Publication number: 20080258907
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for monitoring and analysis. The system (1000) includes a wireless detector (1040) within a body of water in combination with video cameras (1080) that surround a body of water. The wireless detector (130) sends acceleration data and the video cameras sends image data, both using a mesh-type wireless network, to a wireless Collector/Analyzer Server (1020). The Collector/Analyzer Server (1020) processes the received data and provides an alarm signal based on the results of comparisons of the different types of data to respective reference data. Image tracking video algorithms are used to create video fences around the swimming pool's perimeter and using this as the boundary conditions for creating an alarm criteria.
