Abstract: Systems and methods for enhancing anomaly detection using a pattern dictionary are disclosed. An example method includes receiving, from a wearable device, physiological data of the user, and parsing the physiological data into a set of parsed phrases having a number of parsed phrases by applying a pattern dictionary encoder using a pattern dictionary. Each parsed phrase represents a respective subsequence of the physiological data. The example method includes determining a codelength corresponding to the physiological data based on the set of parsed phrases, and comparing (i) the number of parsed phrases to a parsed phrase threshold, and (ii) the codelength to a codelength threshold using an anomaly detection model. Responsive to the number of parsed phrases exceeding the parsed phrase threshold or the codelength exceeding the codelength threshold, the example method includes generating an alert for display on a user interface indicating that the physiological data is anomalous.

Abstract: A passive vector modulator (PVM) includes a divider that splits an input signal into a first divided signal and a second divided signal 90° apart in phase. The PVM includes a switched transformer phase shifter including primary windings to form first primary windings and second primary windings receiving the first divided signal and the second divided signal respectively. First secondary windings are coupled to the first primary windings, the first secondary windings being center-tapped and outputting first and second phase shifted output signals, phase shifted 180° and 0° respectively. Second secondary windings are coupled to the second primary windings, the second secondary windings being center-tapped and outputting third and fourth phase shifted signals, phase shifted 270° and 90° respectively. The PVM includes a switch configured to receive the phase shifted output signals. The switch selectively outputs one of the phase shifted output signals, or a combination, from the PVM.

Abstract: A grease gun plunger for a grease gun having an oil injection channel includes a motor driving unit, a plunger unit, and a yoke. The plunger unit includes a bracket having a bracket cavity and an elongated slot longitudinally formed on a rear wall of the bracket to communicate with the bracket cavity, and a plunger pin downwardly extended from the bracket for slidably inserting into the oil injection channel. The yoke, which is substantially held in the bracket cavity of the bracket, has a sliding channel aligning with the elongated slot of the bracket, wherein the driving shaft is slidably inserted into the sliding channel through the elongated slot in such a manner that when the driving shaft is rotated to slide along the sliding channel, the yoke is driven to move in a reciprocating manner along a transverse direction.

Abstract: Systems and methods for employing switched phase shifters and a feed network to provide a low cost multiple beam antenna system for wireless communications. The present systems and methods may also facilitate multi-band communications and employ multi-diversity. The present systems and methods allow communication systems to achieve enhanced performance for communication or other services such as location tracking. The present systems and methods may employ switched phase shifters, multiple diversity antennas and/or a feed network having a multi-layer construction to provide an antenna system with low losses, low external component count and/or which is thin and compact.

Abstract: An amplifier for musical instruments containing a means for playing recorded music, such as a cd player, can be used to enhance the learning of musical selections by enabling the musician to play, repeat, and isolate and repeat phrases of the musical selections.

Abstract: The growth of algae and algae-like microorganisms on wood surfaces normally in contact with an aqueous system's water may be controlled by applying to the wood a solution of a certain biocidal agent and then flooding the wood with sufficient water to exceed the solubility limit of such agent in the solvent used.
