Abstract: A sensing and processing system includes a plurality of wearable sensing devices each including an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to be positioned on a subject and generate accelerometer signals and gyroscope signals. The system includes a processor to identify near-fall events indicative of the subject nearly falling down based on the generated accelerometer signals and gyroscope signals, and wherein the processor is to generate, for each of the near-fall events, subject response data indicative of a recovery response of the subject to recover from the near-fall event.

Abstract: A method of operating an employment system is provided. The method includes enabling a first user associated with an employee seeker to enter a shell for a position and enabling a second user associated with the employee seeker to enter additional information about the position. The second user is distinctly identifiable by the employment system from the first user. The method also includes associating an employment seeker with the position. Alternatively, the method includes categorizing a first set of one or more employment seekers as public and categorizing a second set of one or more employment seekers as participants in a co-operative. The method also includes enabling all employee seekers to access or view information about members of the first set and enabling all employee seekers that are members of the co-operative to access or view information about members of the second set.

Abstract: An employment system provides personal introductions between system users in one embodiment. In one embodiment, the employment system provides qualified employment seekers with enhanced assistance applying for jobs, wherein the enhanced assistance includes sending a personal introduction about the employment seeker to an employee seeker (i.e., on behalf of an employment seeker). The personal introduction may include at least a portion of a human generated message about the employment seeker. In another embodiment, the employment system provides a personal introduction about an employee seeker to an employment seeker (i.e., on behalf of an employee seeker). For example, the personal introduction may include information about the employee seeker such as company showcases that highlight the benefits of working for the employee seeker.

Abstract: A portable resume system and method collects and stores a user's credentials/attributes (e.g., a job seeker's resume information, skills, or any other suitable data) in a standardized format that can be shared with any individual, entity, or system to streamline the process of applying for jobs. Certain portions of the portable resume system function as a clearinghouse or portfolio for the user's credential's/attributes and enable the user to share any or all of the user's stored data with a plurality of different destinations (e.g., job applicant tracking systems (ATS), online job databases, employment websites, employers, recruiters, individuals, etc. . . . ). If the user shares the user's stored data with a destination that supports the portable resume system, the user can bypass at least part of or all of the destination's registration process. The portable resume system also enables the destination to obtain any updates the user makes to the user's stored data.

Abstract: A method of operating an employment system is provided. The method includes generating a score for each of a plurality of possible results compared to information associated with a user, enabling the user to access a result of the plurality of possible results if the score generated for the result meets a threshold condition, enabling the user to adjust the threshold condition and preventing the user from adjusting the threshold condition beyond a minimum threshold condition. The score can be a bi-directional matching score. The minimum threshold condition can include a minimum score. The minimum score can be determined based on the percentage of the plurality of possible results that would be accessible to the user.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a match-based employment system and method of operation are provided. The match-based employment system collects a plurality of employer seeker and employee seeker profiles, bi-directionally matches the employer seeker and said employee seeker profiles and displays at least a portion of the results to an employer seeker or an employee seeker. The match-based employment system can also order the bi-directional matching results based on a bi-directional match score and display the bi-directional matching results according to the ordering. The match-based employment system can also perform the matching such that approximately 70% of a matching score depends upon the quality of the match between employee seeker desires and employment seeker attributes and approximately 30% of the matching score depends upon the quality of the match between employment seeker desires and employee seeker attributes.
