Abstract: Systems and methods for determining time a subject spends outside of their home based on signals received from unobtrusive sensors in the home are disclosed. In one example approach, a method for determining time a subject spends outside of their home comprises receiving sensor firing data for a duration from sensors in the home, dividing the duration into epochs, extracting features from the sensor firing data received during the epoch, and classifying each epoch as out-of-home or in-home based on the features extracted from the sensor firing data during the epoch.

Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods and apparatuses for monitoring the sleep of a subject in a home environment. In embodiments, load cells placed under bed supports may be coupled to a computing device that may process the load cell data to detect disordered breathing. In some embodiments, a computing device may apply a pattern recognition algorithm to load cell data to distinguish between normal movements and movements associated with a sleep disorder. In an embodiment, apparatuses and methods for monitoring sleep may perform functions associated with detection of sleep disturbances and/or identify a sleep disorder.

Abstract: A system and method of dynamically calibrating an image triage system. An image that may include one or more target entities is divided into a plurality of individual non-calibration image chips. Each non-calibration image chip is successively displayed to a user for a presentation time period. A calibration image chip that includes a synthetic target entity is selectively displayed, for the presentation time period, between the successive display of two non-calibration image chips. Calibration data are collected from the user at least while each calibration image chip is being displayed, and the image triage system is dynamically calibrated using the calibration data.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for dividing an image into a plurality of image chips for presentation on a display. Potential objects of interest are detected within an image by detecting features therein that correspond to objects of interest. The image is uniformly divided into a plurality of preliminary image chips. Triage image chips are generated by automatically adjusting each preliminary image chip such that the potential objects of interest detected within each preliminary image chip are at least substantially centered in each preliminary image chip.

Abstract: A synthetic vision fused integrated enhanced vision system includes a data base of images of an objective; a non-HVS sensor array for providing a sensor output from each sensor in the array; a feature extraction mechanism for extracting multi-resolution features of an objective and forming a single, fused feature image of the objective; a registration mechanism for comparing the fused feature image to a database of expected features of the objective and for providing registered sensor output vectors; an association engine for processing the registered sensor output vectors with the database of objective images, including an associative match mechanism for comparing the registered sensor output vectors to a data base of objective images and providing comparison vectors therefrom for selecting an objective image for display; and a HVS display for displaying a HVS perceptible image from the data base objective images.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for retrieving information on a network and displaying the information on a personal computer or other visual display device. A proxy multiplexor opens connections with each of a plurality of service providers and exchanges authentication information such as a user ID and password with each of the service providers by retrieving and forwarding cookies containing the authentication information. Updated status data from the service providers is displayed within icons representing each of the service providers.
