  • Patent number: 11622708
    Abstract: A system and method for a multichannel voltage recording device is described. A multichannel voltage recording device comprises at least three electrodes disposed across a conductive material. The electrodes are configured to be coupled to a skin of a user. A frame comprises the conductive material that is configured to receive a driven right leg (DRL) signal based on the voltage signals from the at least three electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20170286786
    Abstract: A wearable computing device includes a display device for displaying augmented reality (AR) images and a biometric monitor for monitoring biometric sensor data obtained by a biometric sensor. The biometric monitor determines whether the biometric data indicates that a user associated with the biometric data could be experiencing a health-related problem. The biometric monitor is configured with various modules to perform deviation-induced dynamic modulation in making this determination.

  • Publication number: 20170281026
    Abstract: A wearable computing device includes a display device for displaying augmented reality (AR) images and a biometric sensor for obtaining a heartrate of a user wearing the wearable computing device. The biometric sensor includes a photosensor that emits a light into the surface of a body part of the user. Using photoplethysmography, the photosensor measures voltages from the light reflected from or transmitted through the user's body part at a sampling rate of at least 100 Hz. The measured voltages are then filtered and normalized. Slopes for the resulting set of voltages are then determined on a sliding window basis of approximately 90 milliseconds (ms). Interpulse intervals are then determined for consecutive local minima within each set of sliding windows. The biometric sensor then computes a real-time heartrate for the user from the interpulse intervals, which may then be displayed on the display device of the wearable computing device.

  • Publication number: 20170270362
    Abstract: A wearable computing device includes at least one processor, a display element configured to display augmented reality (AR) content to a wearer of the wearable computing device and presenting a field of view to the wearer, a location sensor providing location information associated with the wearable computing device, and an augmented reality (AR) engine. The AR engine is configured to identify a location of the wearable computing device and a location of a first device within the environment, receive an operating status of the first device, determine a first AR element associated with the first device based on the operating status of the first device and the location of the first device relative to the location of the wearable computing device, and display the first AR element using the display element, the first AR element is displayed at a display location approximately aligned with or proximate to the location of the first device within the field of view.

  • Publication number: 20170086695
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying changes in a state or activity is described. A real-time event monitoring application, implemented in a hardware processor, computes features over varying sampling periods, which are stored in cascading buffers. The various sampling periods enable determination of trends of a computed feature, comparison of the trends of the computed feature with trends of other features, normalization of the computed feature based on the same or different features at the same or different time scales, scaling of the normalized computed feature relative to other features at the same or different time scale, and identification of a change in state or activity based on a scaled normalized computed feature.

  • Publication number: 20040193452
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and system for performing an automated sexual function assessment of a female user having a link between the user's computer and a central computer. After the user registers, obtains a password and a screen name, and provides the user's demographic information to a database of the central computer, a number of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) questions are displayed on the user's computer screen in the first phase. Phases two and three questions are then displayed so long as the responses to such FSD questions, that are sent to a user file in the database, indicate a possibility the user has some degree of FSD. The second phase questions relate to psychological causal factors for FSD. The third phase questions relate to medical factors impacting on sexual function. An additional set of questions relating to the quality of the user's orgasms are usually displayed during the course of the assessment.
