Publication number: 20220339444Abstract: A computer system for intra-ear sensing and stimulating receives, health data, from an earbud sensor. The system repeatedly calculates an exponential moving average (EMA) of a moving window for the received health data. The system compares each calculated exponential moving average with a lower threshold value and an upper threshold value. The upper threshold value and the lower threshold value are determined based, at least in part, upon a saturation level associated within an amplifier performing the adaptive gain control. When the calculated exponential moving average is larger than the upper threshold, the system decreases a gain associated with the amplifier. When the calculated exponential moving average is smaller than the lower threshold, the system increases a gain associated with the amplifier.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2020Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Tam VU, Robin DETERDING, Farnoush BANAEI-KASHANI, Nhat PHAM, Nam Ngoc BUI

Publication number: 20190204433Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include the different methods for data fusion from multi dissimilar sensors to reduce the noise of the tracking the 3D target in Cartesian coordinates. Accuracy of this invention is precise and more stable than the conventional methods that use geometric calculations of 2D radars to track 3D targets. The results of this invention are using the same 3D radars in the tracking system. These methods are not only implemented in existing tracking centers, but also handle the tradeoff between the data transmission capacity at the command center and the computational speed of system. This invention performs the sequential steps: determining the dynamical motion model of target, state prediction and measurement update. Wherein, the variation of steps is shown in the embodiment of this invention by the following different approaches: selective measurement; parallel filtering; state vector fusion; feedback state vector fusion; measurement fusion state vector fusion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2018Publication date: July 4, 2019Applicant: VIETTEL GROUPInventors: Tang Bao Ngoc BUI, Tran Su LE, Quang Bang NGUYEN
