  • Publication number: 20250114017
    Abstract: A soleus contraction measurement system includes a sensor configured to measure rotational movement when positioned on a user's foot with an X-axis oriented laterally across the user's foot, a Y-axis oriented parallel to the user's foot, a Z-axis orthogonal to the X-axis and the Y-axis, and a positive X-axis rotational movement corresponding to an increasing ankle angle, and a memory storing computer-executable instructions for controlling a processor to: measure an X-axis rotational movement, identify a positive X-axis rotational movement as a plantarflexion and a negative X-axis rotational movement as an ankle dorsiflexion, deem the plantarflexion a performed soleus contraction when the plantarflexion is immediately followed by the ankle dorsiflexion for two consecutive cycles of plantarflexion and ankle dorsiflexion, and cause performance information regarding the performed soleus contractions to be communicated.

  • Publication number: 20190227743
    Abstract: Read requests from a host system may be received. A determination may be made as to whether the read requests are associated with a deterministic workload. In response to determining that the read requests from the host system are associated with the deterministic workload, an indication may be provided for a memory device to perform a type of read operation based on the deterministic workload that is associated with the read requests.
