  • Publication number: 20210038159
    Abstract: Analysis of keystroke dynamics performed by an individual can be used for assessment and monitoring of the individual's motor function. Keystroke events related to a user pressing one or more keys on a keyboard or regions on a touch screen may be analyzed to identify a plurality of distributions of keystroke event intervals. The plurality of distributions may be analyzed to identify one or more features indicative of variation among the distributions and indicative of the user's motor function. Monitoring of a user's motor function may include comparing a value for a feature for one plurality of distribution to a second value for the same feature for another plurality of distributions.

  • Patent number: 10699480
    Abstract: A system constructs a positional contour of a variably contoured surface using data from a 3D capture device. A processor captures data from a tangential orientation capture device and produces a set of relative orientations. The set of relative orientations is transformed with a set of orientation manifold transformer parameters to produce a set of low dimensional orientations. The set of low dimensional orientations and a trained mapping function definition are used to produce a low dimensional point cloud. The low dimensional point cloud is transformed with a set of point cloud manifold transformer parameters, producing a reconstructed synchronized rotationally invariant point cloud.

  • Publication number: 20180204379
    Abstract: A system and method for reconstructing a positional contour of a variably contoured surface includes a plurality of positional sensors and a plurality of orientation sensor disposed upon the surface, a processor and a memory. The system captures a positional description of the surface and produces a rotationally-invariant point cloud, and captures a first absolute orientation description of the surface and produces a first set of relative orientations. The first rotationally-invariant point cloud is resampled with respect to the orientation description to produce a first synchronized rotationally-invariant point cloud. The first set of relative orientations and the first synchronized rotationally-invariant point cloud are transformed to produce respective sets of dimensional representations and manifold transformer parameters, which are mapped to produce a trained mapping function definition.
