Abstract: A system and method for analyzing and improving the performance of a body motion, which requires receiving, by a CPU, sensor data from sensors worn by a user; storing the transmitted sensor data in a data buffer; recognizing that a motion gesture occurred based on a signature of acceleration data in the buffered sensor data, extracting from the data buffer sensor data from a predetermined time window around the moment when the motion gesture occurred; automatically generating a regime file customized for the user based on the extracted sensor data, and generating in real-time a user interface displaying a representation corresponding to the motion indicated by the sensor data, wherein the CPU determines the signature of acceleration data by matching the buffered sensor data with stored motion signatures, wherein the regime file is automatically generated based on diagnostic parameters obtained from the sensor data associated with a motion activity category.

Abstract: Location modeling may be generated for candidate locations based on validated location data. The location models for candidate locations may be based on validated location data associated with wireless access points that is validated using transaction data. Such validation may include comparing an identifier associated with candidate location data received from a client device to an identifier for a transaction account associated with a transaction from transaction data at a candidate location. Matching transaction data and candidate location data may generate validated location data to be used in generating location models for candidate locations.

Abstract: Systems and methods according to aspects of the invention verify requests for information over a network. Computing devices communicating over a network transmit numerous signals with various types of information including spatial information, temporal information, device-specific information, and transmission specific information. This information may be used to generate statistical records of valid request for information. Various combinations of these signals may be used to determine whether a request for information is a valid request based on the statistical records associated with the signals. Where a request for information has been verified, the system and method may provide the information. Where the request for information has not been verified, the system and method may deny the request for information. Thus the system and method may be used to prevent and block scraping and spamming attacks.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the standardization of prestrain applied to a sensor of an external respiratory measurement device. The method may comprise sandwiching the sensor between two adhesive layers and stretching the sensor by a fixed amount in order to match the length of the device to the length of a support layer. The device may then be covered by the support layer in order to keep the sensor in a state of prestrain, such that the length of the device matches the length of the support layer. The device may then be applied to the surface by the lower adhesive layer, and the support layer may then be removed, thus leaving the sensor in a standardized and optimal state of prestrain.

Abstract: A wearable strain sensor for measuring respiration volume and respiration rate is described herein. The wearable strain sensor includes a flexible yet not stretchable connector that connects soft electronics to hard electronics. The flexible and non-stretch able connector removes stress/strain from the soft/hard interface, thereby preventing damage to sensor components and maintaining electrical connection.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to enhancement or refinement of estimated locations based upon user-specific information. Upon user authorization, geographical information is extracted from a number of user-related sources, including the web browser history, search history, maps history, address book, e-mail archives and calendar entries. Such information is used to build a spatial index of specific physical locations for a geocoded result set. From this, heat maps identifying particular locations from the user-related sources are created for different periods of time. The heat maps may be used to refine an initial location estimate of the user. This may be done by determining whether one or more positions in a given heat map provide a more accurate position of the user than the initial estimate. If so, a best position is selected. This can be used to provide enhanced driving directions to the user.

Abstract: The present invention features a stretchable strain sensor for detecting minute amounts of strain or pressure. The stretchable strain sensor may comprise a first soft polymer layer, a wrinkled conductive layer disposed on the first soft polymer layer, and a second soft polymer layer disposed on the wrinkled conductive layer. Strain applied to the sensor may cause the wrinkled conductive layer to stretch and crack and send a signal based on resistance. Pressure applied to the sensor may cause the wrinkled conductive layer to deform and crack and send a signal based on resistance. The stretchable strain sensor may be capable of measuring contractions of a tissue, detecting fluid flowing through a microfluidic channel, and detecting whether a microfluidic valve is closed or not.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the combination of respiratory data from two or more different sensors in order to generate a combined waveform. The system of the present invention may comprise a set of two strain sensors, each strain sensor comprising a bare sensor and an adhesive layer to apply said sensors to the skin of a patient, one on the chest and one on the abdomen. The system may further comprise a computing device connected to both strain sensors in some form. As the distention of the patient's skin puts strain on the strain sensors, waveforms are transmitted from the sensors to the computing device where both waveforms are combined into a singular waveform.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the measurement of a baseline respiratory level in a patient so that changes in respiratory activity can be easily reported. The baseline measurement is collected by a sensor in the patient's chest and a sensor on the patient's abdomen, and is transmitted to a computing device. The computing device measures normal breathing for 60 seconds and uses the waveform collected over this period of time to generate a baseline RR, tidal volume, and minute ventilation. From this point, the patient's RR, tidal volume, and minute ventilation are recorded and compared to the baseline measurements, and if a change from the baseline measurement that exceeds a predetermined threshold is detected, the doctor is alerted that action must be taken for the patient's safety.

Abstract: A computer program product has a computer-readable storage medium having computer program instructions embodied therein for performing a method for implementing a privacy policy for a user. The method may include the user developing rules that determine whether another user (requester) can access information related to the user. The rules may be stored in a database coupled to a server and evaluated when a request is received from the requester to access the information. If a rule is satisfied by the requester, the server can return the information to the requester. The information can be returned at a level of granularity specified by the user in the satisfied rule. A privacy level can be set by the user to allow access to requesters based on the rules or to deny access to any requesters.
