  • Patent number: 9833201
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system for monitoring a physiological parameter of a cyclist, and methods of using the system. The system comprises a garment, a sensor, and a signal processor. The garment is configured to be worn by the cyclist. The sensor is fixedly coupled to the garment and configured to measure a signal representative of the physiological parameter during pedaling. The signal processor is operatively coupled to the sensor and configured to determine a diagnosis based on the measured signal. An alert is generated in response to the diagnosis substantially in real time.

  • Publication number: 20160045276
    Abstract: A system for identifying contents of an enclosed package. The system includes a camera, a projector, a processor, a display surface, and a plurality of markers. The camera identifies the markers on the packaging of an instrument or group of instruments. The camera is connected to the processor, and the processor is connected to the projector. Once the camera identifies a marker, the processor receives information about the instrument and sends the projector information about the instrument, such as an enlarged view of the instrument or a video illustrating how the instrument may be used. The projector displays the visual information on to the surface.
