Abstract: A portable smart device including a coupled sensor sensing a physiological parameter of a user, and a processor. The processor is configured to perform a breath training session by instructing the user to breath in a specified manner, receiving physiological data from the sensor, the physiological data representing the sensed physiological parameter of a user, determining a breathing quality based on the physiological data from the sensor, and stopping the breath training when the breathing quality reaches a breath training session stopping threshold.

Abstract: A novel aspect to the invention is a structural arrangement to widen the Fabry-Perot gap beyond a 100-micron LC thickness. The widening permits greatly enhanced spectral discrimination (i.e. many more WDM channels) across the device response range, which is expanded to ITU standards by use of the twin etalon configuration. A liquid crystal optical multiplexer according to the present invention is a two-etalon Fabry-Perot laser etched into many (>100) sub-etalons in a rectangular array. Each sub-etalon is independently tunable and can be coupled to a distinct fiber. Any single sub-etalon or random combination of sub-etalons is free to be tuned to a particular wavelength corresponding to one of the input channels. This allows for any combination of signals (i.e digital video, data and voice) in a signal broadband channel to be switched to any of several receivers. Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is used to combine or separate individual types of signals from a single fiber.
