Patent number: 11910145Abstract: Introduced here is a wearable audio system including modular ear-cup and ear-bud that can be attached and detached to the user together, or independently of each other. Further, the modular ear-cup and ear-bud can operate together, or independently of each other. The wearable audio system can perform active noise cancellation by measuring noise inside the ear-cup and/or the ear-bud, computing the noise canceling sound, and forwarding the noise canceling sound to a speaker inside the ear-cup and/or the ear-bud. The wearable audio system can be wirelessly charged while operating, thus allowing the user to continuously listen to music more than previously possible. The wearable audio system can optimize power consumption by redistributing power intensive tasks to power sources with the highest amount of power. Further, the ambient sound outside the ear-cup can be measured and played by the speakers in the earbud allowing the user to hear the surrounding environment.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: NURA HOLDINGS PTY LTDInventors: Luke John Campbell, Dragan Petrovic

Publication number: 20230376125Abstract: Physical gestures may be performed by a user to interact with a head-mounted device. These physical gestures can be detected by other devices worn by the user. For example, a fitness tracker worn on a wrist of a user may be used to detect the movement of the wrist as a gesture and then communicate this gesture to the head-mounted device. This accessory-mediated gesture interaction may be interrupted when the accessory device loses power or otherwise stops tracking. In this condition, the disclosed head-mounted device may take-over gesture detection by monitoring distortions to a magnetic field caused by movement of the device. This form of gesture detection can be used when an active device has exhausted its battery. Further, this form of gesture detection can be used for electrically inactive objects that can cause detectable changes to the magnetic field when moved in the magnetic field.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2022Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Dongeek Shin, Ricardo John Campbell

Publication number: 20230330310Abstract: An artificial kidney configured to automatically or semi-automatically perform priming, procedure running, purging, flushing, and procedure ending. The artificial kidney is wearable and can be used while ambulating, sitting, and lying down. The artificial kidney can be used at home as a supplement to standard intermittent hemodialysis therapy in the clinic. In an example, the artificial kidney can be configured to perform alert event detection, start a timer, and take steps to resolving the alert event. The steps can include automated steps and can include instructions to be manually performed by the user (or the patient). If the alert event is resolved within a set time, the artificial kidney can continue to perform procedure running. If the alert event is not resolved within the set time, the artificial kidney performs the procedure ending.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2021Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Gordon John CAMPBELL, Robert McGregor LINDSAY, Salem TREESH, Shih Han HUANG, Charles Anthony RUPAR, Robert Gonzales BARBEITO

Publication number: 20230305630Abstract: Techniques of controlling electronic devices using gestures use a wearable device on a user which translates, via a model, user movements into signals that both identify an electronic device to be controlled and a specific action to take with regard to that electronic device. The wearable device includes an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor and a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor and measure six degrees of freedom (6DOF). The model is a convolutional neural network (CNN) that takes x, y, and z-acceleration signals generated by the IMU and PPG and places each acceleration component generated from each sensor in a separate channel. The CNN takes the input from each channel and generates a respective, separate model for each channel. The output at each of the stacked layers are combined in a fully connected layer to produce CNN output identifying an electronic device and a control for the electronic device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2022Publication date: September 28, 2023Applicant: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Dongeek Shin, Ricardo John Campbell
