Publication number: 20210149483Abstract: Methods and systems for selective image capture based on multi-modal sensor input for a wearable device. Systems comprise a first sensor, a second sensor, and a wearable device. The first sensor is configured to capture a first image, and the second sensor is configured to collect motion data, the motion data corresponding to a relative motion between the user and the wearable device, the relative motion of the wearable device in the environment, or the motion of a body part of the user. The wearable device comprises: a communication module configured to wirelessly transmit the first image to a receiving device; and a processor configured to detect a trigger event based on the motion data collected by the second sensor, the processor further configured to initiate capture of the first image by the first sensor or transmit the first image to the receiving device by the communication module upon detection of the trigger event.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2019Publication date: May 20, 2021Applicant: Bose CorporationInventors: William Berardi, Nathan A. Blagrove, Craig Desrosiers, Paul Franzosa, Francois Laberge, Naganagouda B. Patil

Patent number: 8469812Abstract: A fret and method of making the fret are disclosed. The fret can include a body portion made of a non-conductive material, a first end, a second end, and a length defined between the first and second ends. A plurality of electrically conductive elements can be disposed along at least part of the body portion. Each element can be electrically insulated from the other conductive elements by the body portion. The method can include 1) providing a blank formed of electrically conductive material, 2) processing the blank to provide a plurality of electrically conductive elements, 3) affixing a body portion made of a non-conductive material to the plurality of electrically conductive elements, the body portion electrically insulating each element from the other conductive elements, and 4) removing material from the processed blank and affixed body portion to form a perimeter of the fret in a desired shape.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2010Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: 745 LLCInventors: Bernard Chiu, Mark Izen, Paul Franzosa, Andrea Gaiter, Wendy Mittelstadt, Ilissa Schild, Craig Small, Gabriel Viani, Stephen Paul Webster, David Yiu

Patent number: 7459695Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods are disclosed for treating a biological fluid with light. A container of biological fluid is introduced into a fluid treatment chamber where it is contacted with light provided by one or more light sources in proximity to the fluid treatment chamber. A drawer for holding containers of biological fluid introduces the containers into the chamber. Containers for holding the biological fluid are marked by the apparatus to indicate the status of the treatment.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2005Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignees: Fenwal, Inc., Cerus CorporationInventors: Kathleen A. Hanley, George D. Cimino, Peter R. H. Stark, Wendy M. Power, Paul A. Franzosa, Daniela Homza Stark, David F. Beittel, Peyton S. Metzel

Patent number: 5753820Abstract: A sensing unit includes a re-usable portion which is isolated from system fluids and a disposable portion. The disposable portion includes an enclosure that defines an internal cavity with one wall of the enclosure being constituted by a flexible diaphragm that is exposed to operating pressure of the system. The re-usable portion has mounted therein a sensing array at a position adjacent to a non-system pressure side surface of the diaphragm. The sensing array includes a plurality of sensing elements which are arranged as radial inner and outer sets with each set being adapted to preferentially sense a deflection of a central portion of the diaphragm. An output signal representative of the fluid pressure in the fluid system is established based on a ratio of deflection signals from the sets of sensing elements. Preferably, the sensing elements constitute capacitive plates that have equally exposed surface areas.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 1996Date of Patent: May 19, 1998Assignee: Arthur D. Little, Inc.Inventors: Michael A. Reed, Paul Franzosa
