  • Patent number: 10115482
    Abstract: A health management system (10) comprises educational content sessions (150, 152, . . . ) each being directed toward achieving a health management goal. A user interface (48) is configured for presenting the content sessions (150, 152, . . . ). At least one feedback path (48, 82, 120, 122) provides at least one input which includes an item of interest. A content flow engine (170) configured to automatically select the content sessions (150, 152) based on the at least item of interest and on content flow rules and initiate presentation of the selected content sessions via the user interface (48).

  • Publication number: 20080288284
    Abstract: A first station (12, 16) at least sends audio/visual content to audio/visual devices (50, 92). A user interface (50) displays audio/visual content received from the first station (12, 16) when the audio/visual devices (50, 92) are properly configured. A control device (52, 120) communicates with the audio/visual devices (50, 92) to adjust the audio/visual devices configurations to display the received audio/visual content on the user interface (50).

  • Patent number: 6336900
    Abstract: An apparatus for reporting a patient's health parameter to a remote data management center. The apparatus has measurement units and a home hub. A measurement unit includes a sensor for sensing measurements of a health parameter and a transmitter for transmitting wirelessly data derived from the measurements. The home hub receives the wireless transmission of measurement data, processes the measurement unit data for effecient transfer, and transmits selectively data processed by thereby via public a data transmission network to a health data management unit.

  • Patent number: 5929444
    Abstract: An aiming device (or method) which monitors rotational and angular displacement changes with high precision. The detected changes in rotation and/or angular displacement are then used in various operations depending on the implementation. The invention is useful for many different implementations, including a pointing device, a remote control device, and a shooting practice system. Regardless of implementation, the invention utilizes one or more emitters which emit modulated energy signals, and a detector which detects the emitted energy signals. The detected energy signals are processed by a processing unit to determine a point of aim (angular displacement) and a rotation of a detector with respect to the one or more emitters. As a remote control device, the invention enables a user to invoke actions by pointing and rotation of the remote control device. As a shooting practice system, the invention predicts shot placement on a target with high accuracy, while supporting both "live" fire and "dry" fire.
