  • Patent number: 8663106
    Abstract: A monitoring system comprises a module having at least one sensor and preferably skin and ambient temperature sensors within a housing. The device may be durable or disposable. The housing may be provided with certain surface features and shapes to facilitate mounting on and interface with the skin of the wearer for more accurate temperature measurement. A receiver may be provided to obtain and display data from the module. The module may also display the output data. The output data comprises both detected and derived data relating to physiological and contextual parameters of the wearer and may be transmitted directly to a local recipient or remotely over a communications network. The system is capable of deriving and predicting the occurrence of a number of physiological and conditional states and events and reporting the same as output data.

  • Patent number: 8369936
    Abstract: A monitor device and associated methodology are disclosed which provide a self contained, relatively small and continuously wearable package for the monitoring of heart related parameters, including ECG. The detection of heart related parameters is predicated on the location of inequipotential signals located within regions of the human body conventionally defined as equivalent for the purpose of detection of heart related electrical activity, such as on single limbs. Amplification, filtering and processing methods and apparatus are described in conjunction with analytical tools for beat detection and display.

  • Patent number: 8344998
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing gesture-based power management for a wearable portable electronic device with display are described. An inertial sensor is calibrated to a reference orientation relative to gravity. Motion of the portable device is tracked with respect to the reference orientation, and the display is enabled when the device is within a viewable range, wherein the viewable range is a predefined rotational angle range in each of x, y, and z axis, to a user based upon a position of the device with respect to the reference orientation. Furthermore, the display is turned off if an object is detected within a predetermined distance of the display for a predetermined amount of time.

  • Publication number: 20120245439
    Abstract: A physiological measuring system is disclosed that monitors certain physiological parameters of an individual through the use of a body-mounted sensing apparatus. The apparatus is particularly adapted for continuous wear. The system is also adaptable or applicable to calculating derivations of such parameters. A oxygen debt measuring embodiment is directed predicting an outcome in response to injury and illness. The technique allows for closed-loop resuscitation, early identification of illness and early corrective action.

  • Publication number: 20120219432
    Abstract: Pneumatic compression devices and methods for using the same are disclosed. A pneumatic compression device may include a compression pump, a fill/exhaust valve, a transducer, a plurality of cell valves, and a controller. The compression pump may output a pressurized fluid via an output. The fill/exhaust valve may connect one or more cell valves to the compression pump when in an open state and to the atmosphere when in a closed state. The transducer may sense a pressure level. Each cell valve may correspond to a cell and may connect the fill/exhaust valve to the corresponding cell when in an open state. The controller may determine a state (either open or closed) for each of the fill/exhaust valve and the plurality of cell valves based on at least the pressure level sensed by the transducer.

  • Publication number: 20120173811
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a dynamic random access memory (DRAM), the apparatus comprising an interface to transmit to the DRAM a first code to indicate that first data is to be written to the DRAM. The first code is to be sampled by the DRAM and held by the DRAM for a first period of time before it is issued inside the DRAM. The interface is further to transmit the first data that is to be sampled by the DRAM after a second period of time has elapsed from when the first code is sampled by the DRAM. The interface is further to transmit a second code, different from the first code, to indicate that second data is to be read from the DRAM. The second code is to be sampled by the DRAM on one or more edges of the external clock signal.

  • Publication number: 20120173810
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a dynamic random access memory (DRAM), the apparatus comprising an interface to transmit, over a first plurality of wires, to the DRAM a first code to indicate that first data is to be written to the DRAM and a column address to indicate a column location of a memory core in the DRAM where the first data is to be written. The interface is further to transmit a second code to indicate whether mask information for the first data will be sent to the DRAM. If the second code indicates that mask information will be sent, a portion of the column address and a portion of the mask information are sent after the second code is sent. The interface is further to transmit to the DRAM, over a second plurality of wires separate from the first plurality of wires, the first data.

  • Patent number: 8205056
    Abstract: A memory controller has an interface to convey, over a first set of interconnect resources: a first command that specifies activation of a row of memory cells, a second command that specifies a write operation directed to the row of memory cells, a bit that specifies whether precharging will occur in connection with the write operation, a code that specifies whether data mask information will be issued in connection with the write operation, and if the code specifies that data mask information will be issued, data mask information that specifies whether to selectively write portions of write data associated with the write operation. The memory controller interface further conveys, over a second set of interconnect resources, separate from the first set of interconnect resource, the write data.

  • Patent number: 7793039
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory core, a first interface to receive write data from a first set of interconnect resources, and a second interface, separate from the first interface, to receive from a second set of interconnect resources a column address and a first code. The column address is associated with the write data and identifies a column of the memory core in which to store the write data. The first code indicates whether the write data is selectively masked by data mask information. If the first code indicates that the write data is selectively masked, the second interface is to receive data mask information specifying whether to selectively write portions of the write data to the memory core.
