  • Publication number: 20240197242
    Abstract: A system includes chemical marker, verification, and third sensors. The chemical marker sensor is configured to detect one or more markers of a therapeutic agent in sweat vapor. The verification sensor is configured to detect whether the system is less than a threshold distance from skin. The third sensor is configured to detect a manifestation of an expected effect of the therapeutic agent on the heart rate of the user. The processor is communicatively coupled to the sensors and is configured to calculate a confidence level indicative of whether the user has taken the therapeutic agent based on the chemical marker sensor detecting the one or more markers in the sweat vapor, the verification sensor detecting that the system is less than the threshold distance from skin, and the third sensor detecting the manifestation of the expected effect of the therapeutic agent on the heart rate of the user.

  • Patent number: 10845437
    Abstract: An exemplary method relates to determining an open/closed position of a door. The method generally involves generating, by a multi-axis magnetometer mounted to the door, a plurality of signals relating a magnetic field having a net magnetic flux point, and generating, by a controller and based on the plurality of signals, a current incidence angle defined between the multi-axis magnetometer and the net magnetic flux point. The method further includes comparing the current incidence angle to a known incidence angle, wherein the known incidence angle is defined between the multi-axis magnetometer and the net magnetic flux point when the door is in a known position. The method further includes determining the open/closed position of the door based on the comparison of the current incidence angle to the known incidence angle.
