Abstract: A wearable device monitors a wearer's physical activity and provides assistance to the wearer. The device includes physiologic sensors that provide sensor data of the wearer to a processor, a user interface that provides information to the wearer, a network interface that provides a network connection between the device and a remote computer, and a memory that stores instructions. The processor executes the instructions to collect physical activity data of the wearer using the sensors, to provide the collected activity data to the remote computer via the network interface to create or update a parameterized rule-based custom data model for the wearer, to receive the custom data model for comparison to collected activity data, and to communicate with the wearer via the user interface when a check of the wearer's activity data against the custom data model indicates that the wearer's activity is not consistent with the custom data model.

Abstract: A wearable device is adapted to monitor a wearer's physical activity patterns and to provide assistance to the wearer when a need for assistance is indicated. The device includes a processor is programmed to cause the device to collect activity data necessary to determine the physical activity pattern of the wearer over time, to provide the gathered activity data to a server via a network interface for processing to create or update behavioral rules for the wearer, to receive the behavioral rules from the server for comparison to the received activity data, and to provide to the wearer via the user interface assistance information when the wearer has requested assistance or when a check of the wearer's activity against the behavioral rules indicates that the wearer may need assistance.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to devices, systems, and methods for monitoring and assisting a subject in various life tasks.

Abstract: The present invention is a monitor that detects a design verification event and reports a status event to a database. One embodiment of the present invention comprises a monitor declaration, zero or more signal declarations, zero or more bus declarations and one or more logic expressions. A logic expression, formulated using the declared signals and buses, is used to evaluate whether a specific verification event has occurred. The present invention further comprises a monitor where the signal of the signal declaration of the monitor is an N-Nary signal. Additionally, the present invention comprises a parser to translate the monitor source file code into a standard computer language code.

Abstract: The present invention is a grid that is a monitor that detects a cross product of design verification events and reports a single status event to a database. One embodiment of the present invention comprises axes declarations, logic expressions, and a grid declaration. An axes declaration produces a cross product of verification events. A logic expressions evaluates whether a specific verification event has occurred. A grid declaration returns the status event. The present invention further comprises a grid where the cross-product of verification events comprises a fully or a sparsely populated cross-product of verification events. Additionally, the present invention further comprises a grid that uses N-Nary signals. And, the present invention comprises a parser to translate the monitor source file code into a standard computer language code.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for building a software system in a networked software development environment, utilizing existing software version control and build tools such as RCS and MAKE. Source and object files are loaded into network caches shared by multiple users at local workstations. At individual workstations, a cache link structure generated from a user-created build list is provided to the software building program, which then builds the desired software system using links to cached files. The present invention thus minimizes the amount of computing resources required to build software programs by eliminating the need to store multiple local copies of building block software files, and to rebuild object files that may be unchanged from prior builds. A method for maintaining and updating network caches to maximize the efficiency of cache link creation is also disclosed.
