Abstract: A wearable device includes various sensors including a microphone, heart rate monitor, pressure sensor, and so forth. The user can set the device to acquire audio data of their speech. For example, if the pressure sensor indicates the device is being worn and the user's heart rate exceeds a threshold value, audio data may be acquired. Onboard the device the audio data is processed in various ways such as detecting whether the audio data includes speech, applying a beamforming algorithm, compressing and encrypting the audio, and so forth. The audio data may be processed onboard the device, sent to another device, or a combination thereof for processing to determine sentiment data indicative of perceived emotional content of the speech. A user interface provides the user with information based on the sensor data, sentiment data, and so forth.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for detecting a first reaction by a user when consuming a media asset at a first time, where a first magnitude of the first reaction exceeds a first threshold. The systems and methods may determine whether a second reaction by the user occurred when the user consumed the media asset at a second time that is prior to the first time, where a second magnitude of the second reaction exceeds a second threshold, and may recommend the second media asset to the user.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to systems and methods for providing a guiding device having a dilatable, drilling tip. The tip is formed by wound helical members such that resistance to rotation in an unwinding direction dilates the tip. The helical members are configured so that the dilatable tip increases in stiffness when the helical members are tensioned by a resistance to rotation in the winding direction. In some embodiments, application of relative force between coaxial inner and outer tubular members is used to control the dilation, stiffness and drilling of the guiding member.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to systems and methods for re-entering the true lumen of a vessel. The re-entry catheters employ deflectable struts to stabilize and support the distal tip in a subintimal location while a passageway back into the true lumen is formed. Re-entry to the true lumen can be effected with a cutting element or with a conventional guidewire.
