Abstract: A method of performing measurement of a subject comprises measuring a physiological parameter of a subject, deriving data from the measured parameter, optionally, obtaining metadata relating to the measurement of the physiological parameter, determining the quality of the derived data from the derived data and/or the obtained metadata, and if the determined quality matches a predefined criteria, performing a predefined corrective action. In one embodiment, the method further comprises calculating one or more qualifiers from the derived data and/or from the obtained metadata, and wherein the step of determining the quality of the derived data comprises determining the quality of the derived data from the calculated qualifiers.

Abstract: A method of creating a user profile for use in a brain computer interface includes performing a training exercise, measuring a user's brain signals during the training exercise, mapping specific signals of the user's brain signals to predefined mental task descriptions, and creating a user profile including the user's brain signals mapped to the mental task descriptions. The user profile so created can be used in a method of creating a brain computer interface for a user for an application. This method includes accessing a user profile including the user's brain signals mapped to mental task descriptions, accessing an application profile including a plurality of properties of the application, matching one or more mental task descriptions from the user profile to a respective property from the application profile, and creating a brain computer interface accordingly.

Abstract: A method of creating a user profile (24) for use in a brain computer interface (40) comprises performing a training exercise, measuring a user's brain signals (20) during the training exercise, mapping specific signals of the user's brain signals to predefined mental task descriptions, and creating a user profile (24) comprising the user's brain signals mapped to the mental task descriptions. The user profile so created can be used in a method of creating a brain computer interface for a user (18) for an application (34). This method comprises accessing a user profile comprising the user's brain signals mapped to mental task descriptions, accessing an application profile (38) comprising a plurality of properties of the application, matching one or more mental task descriptions from the user profile to a respective property from the application profile, and creating a brain computer interface accordingly.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and a system for identifying elementary content portions from an edited content. A log is generated indicating the elementary content portions used in the edited content. Fingerprints are obtained from the elementary content portions as indicated in the log. Characteristic information is determined about the elementary content portions by comparing the fingerprints to fingerprints of registered content having associated characteristic information.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for verifying identity of an individual by employing biometric data derived from a physical feature of the individual. A basic idea of the invention is that, rather than determining peak locations in cyclic signals such as ECG or PPG signals when using these signals as a representation of biometric data for verifying identity of an individual, shape or morphology of the signals is considered.

Abstract: A relative movement sensor for measuring movement of an object (15) and the sensor relative to each other, the sensor comprising a plurality of lasers (3,5) for generating respective measuring beams and illuminating the object (15) therewith, and a plurality of respective photodiodes (4,6) for measuring changes in operation of each laser cavity caused by reflected measuring beam radiation re-entering the respective laser cavity and the optical wave in the laser cavity. The plurality of lasers (3,5) are operated in a time-multiplexed manner such that only a subset (i.e. one or more) of the lasers is operated at any one time, the remaining lasers being idle. This reduces peak power dissipation and prevents erroneous interference caused by measuring beam radiation from one laser entering the cavity of another laser.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for measuring blood flow in living tissue and a device for performing the method. The device comprises a laser and a photo sensor. The laser is arranged to illuminate (10) the tissue in such a way that a portion of the light beam, scattered by the tissue, re-enters the laser in order to obtain a self-mixing effect. The resulting light, that is registered (11) as an electric signal by the photo sensor, contains a speckle pattern that is depending on blood cell movement in the tissue. A Fourier transform is applied (12) to this signal and an exponential fit is applied (13) to the resulting frequency domain spectrum. Thereby parameters corresponding to the amount of blood cells and the average velocity of these cells may be obtained.
