  • Patent number: 11688490
    Abstract: A method is provided. The method comprises accessing a target database comprising at least one table associated with a first concept or property of a reference ontology, defining a data source ontology for a data source comprising a dataset, said data source ontology comprising a second concept or property, wherein said second concept or property is different from said first concept or property, and creating a link between said second concept or property and said first concept or property, said link defining to which table of said target database data of said dataset, associated with said second concept or property, is related.

  • Patent number: 10878945
    Abstract: A method is provided. The method comprises accessing (110) a target database (107) comprising at least one table associated with a first concept or property of a reference ontology (101), defining (120) a data source ontology (104) for a data source (102) comprising a dataset, said data source ontology (104) comprising a second concept or property, wherein said second concept or property is different from said first concept or property, and creating (140) a link between said second concept or property and said first concept or property, said link defining to which table of said target database data of said dataset, associated with said second concept or property, is related.

  • Patent number: 10029065
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (100) for increasing a degree of relaxation of a person (10) using biofeedback. The system (100) comprises a first physiological parameter determining unit (20) for determining a first physiological parameter of the person (10), a reference parameter providing unit (60) for providing a reference parameter, a correlation determining unit (30) for determining a degree of correlation between the first physiological parameter and the reference parameter and a controller (40) for determining a control information based on the determined degree of correlation for controlling a light source unit (50), wherein in a mode of operation of the system the control information is adapted to control the light source unit (50) by dimming the light source unit and/or changing the color of the light from the light source unit to warmer color tones having a lower color temperature when the degree of correlation increases.

  • Patent number: 8639712
    Abstract: A method for creating a relational database schema is provided. The method comprises accessing (110, 210) a reference ontology (101) comprising a first number of concepts and a second number of properties, selecting (120, 220) a first set of concepts from the reference ontology, determining (130, 230) a first set of properties from said second number of properties, associated with the selected first set of concepts, determining (140, 240) a second set of concepts associated with the determined first set of properties, and generating (150, 250) a relational database schema comprising a number of tables, of which at least one table pertains to a concept of said second set of concepts. Further, a module (300) for creating a relational database schema is provided.

  • Patent number: 8454491
    Abstract: A system (100) for inducing a subject (110) to fall asleep comprises a monitor (120) for monitoring heart rate and breathing rate of the subject (110), a coherence assessing device (130) coupled to the monitor (120) for assessing a degree of coherence between the heart rate and the breathing rate, and an output device (140, 150) coupled to the coherence assessing device (130). The output device (140, 150) may comprise a light pattern generator (140) for generating a light pattern (145) in view of the subject (110) based on the degree of coherence. The output device (140, 150) may alternatively or additionally comprise an instructing system (150) for instructing the subject on a breathing pattern, and wherein the instructions are given based on the degree of coherence.
