  • Sensor system for collecting gestural data in two-dimensional animation
    Patent number: 10656722
    Abstract: This document describes a system for animating a two-dimensional object in real-time with gestural data collected by a gestural sensor of the system. A gestural sensor collects gestural data. An image extraction engine extracts image data that renders a two-dimensional object on a display device of the system. An overlay engine generates a mesh overlay for the two-dimensional object. Based on a detected gesture represented in the gestural data collected, an animation engine modifies portions of the two-dimensional object from a first image frame to a second image frame based on the collected gestural data. An image frame generator generates the first and second image frames that animate the two-dimensional object in accordance with the gestural data collected.

  • SENSING AND USING ACOUSTIC SAMPLES OF GASTRIC SOUND
    Publication number: 20190298295
    Abstract: Among other things, a sensor is configured to sense sound from a gut of a person and to output a corresponding acoustic signal. A signal processor has an input for the acoustic signal and is configured to output corresponding digital acoustic samples. There is a storage device for the digital acoustic samples. A processor is configured to apply the digital acoustic samples to a model to determine an aspect of a state of the person. A device is configured to present information about the determined aspect of the person's state to a user.
