Abstract: A device for measuring and monitoring heart rate, respiration rate, and oxygen saturation of a subject is disclosed, which includes a biometric sensor board having a photosensor adapted to measure reflectance of red and infrared lights off skin tissue, wherein the biometric sensor board adapted to control one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs), wherein brightness of the LEDs are automatically adjusted to account for skin tone, thereby generating photoplethysmographic data, a processor unit adapted to analyze data measured by the biometric sensor board, and a display adapted to display results of the processed data remotely.

Abstract: This invention generally relates to methods useful for measuring heart rate, respiration conditions, and oxygen saturation and a wearable device that incorporate those methods with a computerized system supporting data collection, analysis, readout and sharing. Particularly this present invention relates to a wearable device, such as a wristwatch or ring, for real time measuring heart rate, respiration conditions, and oxygen saturation.

Abstract: A user may request a recommendation for an item from other users. Other users may respond to the request by recommending for or against items. Users may up-vote or down-vote the recommendations or responses of other users. The recommendations of the other users may be used to identify items and provide one or more recommendations to the requesting user. The original question and the responses may form a conversation thread. The recommendations may be inserted into the thread as responses, may be presented alongside the thread, or may be presented at the end of the thread. The recommendations may be based on one or more attributes of the user. The weight of the recommendations provided by other users may vary.

Abstract: Two features allow for increased performance in running database consistency checks. First, a database consistency check runs directly on a database, as opposed to running on a saved database snapshot. This saves memory since there is no need to save a database snapshot. To handle any pages modified since a start of the database consistency check, a supplemental check runs on modified pages. Any facts generated by either check run through an early aggregation that attempts to aggregate facts during the database consistency check.
