  • Patent number: 10043368
    Abstract: A fall detection system includes at least one sensor configured to detect acceleration and orientation of a host, at least one indicator device having an alarm mode, and a controller operatively connected to the at least one sensor and the at least one indicator device. The controller is programmed to receive data generated by the at least one sensor, compare at least a portion of the received data with at least one specified parameter indicative of a fall event, and, based on the comparison, activating the at least one indicator device to enter the alarm mode. The at least one specified parameter includes at least one of the following: an acceleration exceeding a predetermined threshold, a change between a starting and a final orientation of the host before and after an acceleration event, a lack of movement of the host for a predetermined time after the acceleration event, or any combination thereof.

  • Publication number: 20170296094
    Abstract: A breathing system includes a facepiece and a regulator to deliver breathing gas to the facepiece. The regulator includes a sensor system including at least one sensor responsive to respiration of a user. The breathing system further includes a processor system in operative connection with the at least one sensor, a memory system in operative connection with the processor system and at least one algorithm stored in the memory system and executable by the processor system. The at least one algorithm is adapted, configured or programmed to determine at least one of a rate of respiration and a respiration volume from data from the at least one sensor. The algorithm is further adapted, configured or programmed to relate at least one of the rate of respiration and the respiration volume to a physiological state of the user.
