Publication number: 20190056255Abstract: A subject behavior monitoring device is for monitoring the behavior of a subject based on their usage of a plurality of fluid outlets of a fluid supply system in a building. An acoustic measurement unit is adapted to generate an acoustic monitoring signal which varies in dependence on a fluid flow from the plurality of fluid outlets. A signal processor processes the acoustic monitoring signal and is adapted to detect usage of each of the plurality of fluid outlets and determine which usages were carried out by the subject being monitored. In this way, the behavior of a subject, in terms of their usage of fluid outlets, such as water taps and gas appliances, can be detected and also discriminated from other occupiers of the building in which the subject is resident.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2016Publication date: February 21, 2019Inventors: RONALDUS MARIA AARTS, JACOBUS MARIA ANTONIUS VAN DEN EERENBEEMD

Patent number: 8723471Abstract: This invention relates to a servo system for operating an exoskeleton adapted to encircle an object of interest and for supplying a force thereon. A servomotor is coupled to a power source and operates the position of the exoskeleton and thus the force exerted by the exoskeleton on the object of interest. A measuring unit measures a raw driving current signal Iraw supplied by the power source to drive the servomotor. A low pass filter applies a low pass frequency filtering on the measured a filtered current signal Ifiltered. A processing unit determines an actuated current signal Iactuated based on the servomotor setting parameters, where Iactuated indicates the contribution to Iraw from the servomotor when operating the position of the exoskeleton. The processing unit also determines a driving force current signal Iforce indicating the force exerted by the exoskeleton on the object of interest, where Iforce is proportional to the difference between Ifiltered and Iactuated.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2010Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Jacobus Maria Antonius Van Den Eerenbeemd, Floris Maria Hermansz Crompvoets

Publication number: 20130134293Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor device (100) in which the spatial distribution of an input light (L1) emission from a light emitting area (121, 122) of a light source (120) can selectively be changed. The input light is propagated through an optical system (110) to produce some output light (L2). Changes of the input light are taken into account when the detected output light (L2) is evaluated. Thus it is for example possible to detect and/or eliminate optical disturbances occurring in the optical path outside an object region (3). The light source (120) may particularly comprise a plurality of a light emitting segments (121, 122) that can selectively be switched on or off.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2011Publication date: May 30, 2013Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Jacobus Hermanus Maria Neijzen, Jacobus Maria Antonius Van Den Eerenbeemd, Johannes Joseph Hubertina Barbara Schleipen
