Abstract: A technique is configured to utilize messages (e.g., frames) generated by a first layer of a protocol stack for a wireless network to configure network parameters associated with a second layer of the protocol stack for a wired network. The messages are illustratively beacon frames generated by a data link layer of a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) stack for a wireless network, and the network parameters are illustratively IP addresses associated with a network layer of the TCP/IP stack for a wired network. Notably, the beacon frames of the wireless network may be utilized for two-way communication exchange on a per node basis for each node in the wired network.

Abstract: Disclosed is a heart rate monitoring system containing a machine learning platform containing self-learning and/or personalizable algorithms capable of detecting and filtering out artifacts in signals indicative of an individual's heart rate, such signals generated from one or more electrocardiogram sensors. The self-learning and/or personalizable algorithms are updated periodically. Accordingly, the machine learning platform improves its accuracy in detecting and/or rejecting/filtering out artifacts and/or becomes more personalized as further signals indicative of an individual's heart rate are processed. The machine learning platform performs detection and filtering out of artifacts via dimension reduction algorithms. The system further contains a first algorithm for real time measurement of heart rate variability (HRV). Also disclosed is a heart rate monitoring method that implements a heart rate monitoring system disclosed herein.

Abstract: The technology described in this document can be embodied in a method that includes receiving an input signal representing audio captured by a microphone of an active noise reduction (ANR) headphone, processing, by one or more processing devices, a portion of the input signal to determine a noise level in the input signal, and determining that the noise level satisfies a threshold condition. The method also includes, in response to determining that the noise level satisfies the threshold condition, generating an output signal in which ANR processing on the input signal is controlled in accordance with a target loudness level of the output signal, and driving an acoustic transducer of the ANR headphone using the output signal.
