  • Publication number: 20230222887
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for machine learning based monitoring. Image data from a camera is received. On the hardware accelerator, a person detection model based on the image data is invoked. The person detection model outputs first classification result. Based on the first classification result, a person is detected. Second image data is received from the camera. In response to detecting the person, a fall detection model is invoked on the hardware accelerator based on the second image data. The fall detection model outputs a second classification result. A potential fall based on the second classification result is detected. An alert is provided in response to detecting the potential fall.

  • Publication number: 20230222805
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for machine learning based monitoring. A current time is received. The system determines to begin a check-up process from the current time. In response to determining to begin the check-up process, a prompt to cause a person to perform a check-up activity is presented on a display. Image data of a recording of the check-up activity is received from the camera. The system invokes a screening machine learning model based on the image data. The screening machine learning model outputs a classification result. The system detects a potential screening issue based on the classification result. In response to detecting the potential screening issue, the system provides an alert.

  • Publication number: 20220071562
    Abstract: A face mask including a body portion configured to be secured to a user's face and cover a mouth and nasal passages of the user, a processor, and an oximetry sensor operably positioned at the user's nose when the body portion is secured to the user's face. In some implementations, the oximetry sensor includes at least one emitter configured to emit light into tissue of the user's nose and at least one detector configured to detect at least a portion of the emitted light after passing through the tissue and transmit one or more signals to the processor responsive to detected light. In some implementations, the processor determines one or more physiological parameters based on the one or more signals transmitted by said at least one detector. In some implementations, the face mask is configured to wirelessly transmit the one or more physiological parameters to a mobile computing device.

  • Patent number: 8783980
    Abstract: A portable printer having improved ergonomic and operational characteristics. The printer includes an asymmetrically-damped media centering mechanism having first and second media support members moveable along a common longitudinal axis and configured to grasp roll media. The media support members are coupled to a reciprocal movement mechanism configured to translate a longitudinal movement of the first media support member into a corresponding opposite longitudinal movement of the second media support member. A pivoting arm is coupled to the reciprocal movement mechanism. The pivoting arm pivots to a first position when the first and second media support members are moved closer to each other, which causes a damping gear to engage the reciprocal movement mechanism, thereby damping the grasping motion of the media support members and providing an improved user experience.
