Abstract: A wearable device is configured to perform stress detection, emotion recognition and emotional management. The wearable device may perform a process that includes monitoring an emotional score of a user, the emotional score computed based on measured biological signals of the user. The device may detect an emotional event from the monitored emotional score. The device may transmit an alert signal to the user in response to the detected emotional event, in which an action plan associates the alert signal with a corresponding action to be performed by the user. The device may evaluate an effectiveness of the action plan by evaluating an impact of the action on the emotional score of the user. The device may determine a change to the action plan based on the evaluated effectiveness of the action plan. Finally, the device may incorporate the determined change into the action plan.

Abstract: A variable low voltage signal translator uses a driver for outputting a low voltage signal translation. A control circuit is coupled to the driver for enabling and disabling the driver wherein the control circuit has an input coupled to the signal to be translated. One terminal of the pull-up resistor is coupled to an output of the driver. A second terminal of the pull-up resistor is coupled to a voltage supply which provides the low voltage level of the variable low voltage signal translator.

Abstract: A loadable counter circuit which is able to perform multiple contiguous counts. The loadable counter circuit uses a counter for monitoring a number of specified events. A data storage device is coupled to the counter for loading the counter with counter values for each of the contiguous counts. A control logic circuit is coupled to the counter and to the data storage circuit for loading the counter and the data storage device with the counter values.
