Abstract: A fall detection system includes a wearable monitoring device that monitors the movement of a person. The device monitors a sensor and detects variation from the normal range and duration thereof. The system determines whether the wearer has fallen through an algorithmic analysis technique using parameters to evaluate the accelerations and timings of the events that comprise a fall. If the combination of the timing and variations from the normal ranges are sufficient as compared to preset thresholds, a fall report will be generated. The wearable device optionally allows qualified professionals to adjust or customize the parameters to optimize the evaluation to the requirements of particular users or classes of users. The wearable device generally transmits data and alerts over a short distance to a console or over a long distance using a connection to a long-distance back haul communication system such as cell network or internet or both.

Abstract: A layered thermometer for measuring core body temperature includes a plurality of layers. A first layer contacts the skin of a body being measured where the first layer includes a first sensor and a first insulating component, and optionally a protective layer contiguous with the skin. The first layer detects a first temperature substantially at the skin. A second layer is located contiguous to the first layer where the second layer includes a second sensor and a second insulating component. The second layer detects a second temperature substantially away from the skin. The values of the first temperature and the second temperature indicate the core temperature of the body. Alternative embodiments include a thermometer with three or more layers. Further alternative embodiments include analytic devices and devices statistical analysis.

Abstract: Embodiments of a telemonitoring system are particularly suited to monitor athletic activity and athletic training. The sensors monitor human physiology, activity and environmental conditions. In one embodiment, the data analysis devices use the data models to determine to determine specific performance points. Some embodiments provide useful displays to the user, where the displays are based on algorithms operating on and displaying raw data alone and combined with derivative data.

Abstract: A motion analysis telemonitor system includes a wearable monitoring device that monitors the activity level and movements of a person wearing the device. The wearable monitoring device is able to determine whether the person has fallen through a model analysis technique using characteristic movements of a fall. The wearable device generally transmits data and alerts over a short distance to a console. The console, in turn, transmits data and alerts to a monitoring center. The motion analysis telemonitor system is also able to monitor progression of disease through changes in movement, also fatigue and other performance factors.

Abstract: A remote monitoring system includes an on-body network of sensors and at least on analysis device controlled by a hub. The sensors monitor human physiology, activity and environmental conditions. The monitoring system includes a data classifier to take sensor input to determine a condition of the person wearing the remote monitoring system. The remote monitoring system is further able to determine a level of confidence in the determined condition.

Abstract: A near-field communications network enables a body-wearable personal area network. The near-field communications takes place in the magnetic near-field. A master node with an orthogonal antenna array controls the network. The orthogonal antenna array is orientable to maximize signal strength. The antennas are designed and operated so as to strand the energy of transmission of communications in the near-field. This reduces the detectability of the communications outside of the immediate area of the near-field network.

Abstract: In order to conduct an electronic reverse auction, a computer system has a post means for posting product description information across a network, a bidding means for submitting a plurality of bids, proposals, and means for transmitting other information about goods and bidders. A means for evaluating the bids by a select criteria and a security means is also provided.
