  • Publication number: 20180344181
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure can provide systems, methods, and computer-readable medium for tracking the heartrate of a user using different techniques associated with different contexts. For example, motion of a user wearing a wearable device can be tracked using at least first sensors of the one or more sensors. The physical state of the user can also be tracked using at least second sensors of the one or more sensors. In some cases it can be determines whether an application of the wearable device has been launched. Additionally, an activity category of the user can be determined based at least in part on the motion of the user, the physical state of the user, and/or whether the application has been launched. Heartrate data of the user can be collected, and the heartrate data can be categorized based at least in part on the determined category.

  • Publication number: 20180071967
    Abstract: A filter candle to separate contaminants from a plastic melt is disclosed. The filter candle has a filter element through which a melt flow is directed to retain contaminants contained in the melt flow, and a supporting body to support the filter element. The supporting body is a hollow body having multiple passages for the melt flow. At least one additional supporting body is on the side of said filter element that faces away from the supporting body. The additional supporting body acts on surface regions of the filter element and/or accommodates them such that the filter element can be backwashable.

  • Publication number: 20170326985
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel cell vehicle (200), in which the driver has more influence on the consumption and the dynamic of the vehicle (200). This is achieved by the fuel cell vehicle (200) comprising at least one sensor for detecting a first driver input and a control unit (60). The control unit (60) is configured to operate the fuel cell vehicle (200) in one of a plurality of operating modes depending on the first driver input, wherein a power consumption PAC of the air-conditioning system (70), an operating range of the fuel cell stack (10), and a transfer function for determining the power demand PEM from the second driver input are varied depending on the selected operating mode. It is provided that the driver has at least five different operating modes available, which differ in particular with respect to the available driving dynamic, the fuel consumption, and the adjustable comfort.

  • Patent number: 9788457
    Abstract: The device for generating an air flow for cooling a heat dissipating electronic element such as an LED comprises a channel (12,56) extending between an inlet portion (18) upstream of the air flow to be generated and an outlet portion (20) downstream of the air flow to be generated, wherein the channel (12,56) comprises at least two substantially opposite side surfaces (14). Moreover, the device is provided with a first bendable air ventilating blade (10,58) arranged within the channel (12,56) and having an overall longitudinal extension substantially coinciding with the extension of the channel (12,56), with a first longitudinal end (24,62) arranged upstream of the air ventilating blade (10,58) flow to be generated and a second end (28,70) arranged downstream of the air flow to be generated. The first air ventilating blade (10,58) with its first end (24,62) is fixedly arranged and has its second end (28,70) is reciprocatingly arranged.

  • Patent number: 9342278
    Abstract: A method for creating and processing a program includes selecting a new program object of an object type. The new program object is presented as a character string. The program is presented as text and a program object is presented as a character string when the program object is inserted into the program using drag-and-drop. The method also includes moving the selected program object to a target position in the program text. The method further includes examining the target position to determine whether a program object of the same or a compatible object type is present at the target position. If such a target program object is present at the target position, the method also includes replacing the target program object with the selected program object. Otherwise, the method includes inserting the character string representing the selected program object into the text of the program at the target position.
