Publication number: 20230293941Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes, by an electronic device, receiving a digital input indicating a type of movement. Streaming sensor data corresponding to movements of a first user can be accessed from one or more sensors of one or more wearable devices on the first user. Displacement data corresponding to the movements of the first user can be generated based on the streaming sensor data and the indicated type of movement. One or more repetitions represented in one or more corresponding segments of the displacement data can be identified based on the displacement data.

Publication number: 20220377856Abstract: A method by an electromagnetic device includes determining a pattern of electromagnetic energy absorbed by a load disposed inside a cavity into which electromagnetic radiation is directed and generating one or more maps of the pattern of electromagnetic energy absorbed by the load. The one or more maps comprises an indication of a distribution of heating within the load. The method further includes determining, based on the one or more maps, a plurality of sequences of operating parameter combinations configured so as to heat the load via absorption of the electromagnetic radiation in accordance with a target temperature profile with respect to the load. The method thus includes emitting electromagnetic radiation into the cavity based on the plurality of sequences of operating parameter combinations to achieve the target temperature profile with respect to the load.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2021Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Brian R.
