Patent number: 10571324Abstract: A method and system may track liquid consumption by a user from a liquid container using a flexible, network-connected, smart band. The smart band may detect orientations of the liquid container and identify sips taken by a user based on a pattern in the detected orientations. The smart band may also estimate a liquid consumption metric based on characteristics of the identified sips such as the duration of the sip. The identified sip as well as sip characteristics and the liquid consumption metric may be displayed on the smart band, and also may be transmitted to a server for storage and for display on another network-enabled device.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2018Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITYInventors: Subir Biswas, Bo Dong, Ryan Gallant

Patent number: 10447410Abstract: A sensor network includes a sink and multiple sensor nodes. The sink is coupled to a substrate and configured to transmit a periodic ultrasonic pulse on the substrate. A first one of the sensor nodes is coupled to the substrate. The first sensor node is configured to (i) receive the periodic ultrasonic pulse from the substrate, (ii) synchronize an internal clock of the first sensor node to the sink based on the periodic ultrasonic pulse, (iii) selectively detect an event in a region surrounding the first sensor node, and (iv) in response to detecting the event, transmit a first ultrasonic pulse toward the sink on the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2014Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: Board of Trustees of Michigan State UniversityInventors: Subir Biswas, Stephan Lorenz, Bo Dong, Qiong Huo

Patent number: 10327698Abstract: A wearable breathing sensor, such as a piezoelectric chest belt system, generates a breathing signal that is analyzed by a classifier to identify apnea patterns indicating that the subject has swallowed during breathing. These breathing signals are computer-analyzed to extract inferences regarding the subject's eating and drinking patterns and thereby provide useful data for monitoring food or beverage intake for remote health monitoring.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2013Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: Board of Trustees of Michigan State UniversityInventors: Subir Biswas, Bo Dong

Patent number: 8554615Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, context-induced wireless network information and content transport systems and methods are provided. In another aspect of the present application, a system includes first and second mobile devices that store respective interest profiles. A further aspect of the present application provides that wireless point-to-point connections are formed when the first and second mobile devices are in close physical proximity to each other. In another aspect, the mobile devices automatically exchange advertising content between each other based on the respective interest profiles over the wireless point-to-point connections. Yet another aspect employs a content distribution device wirelessly transmitting advertising content to one of the first and second mobile devices when the one of the first and second mobile devices is in close physical proximity to the content distribution device. A method of operating such a wireless network is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2010Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Board of Trustees of Michigan State UniversityInventor: Subir Biswas

Patent number: 7403482Abstract: A system and method for path provisioning in a network calculates an optimal path using a greedy algorithm with backtracking to execute service level agreements (SLAs). More specifically, a sequential path shifting (SPS) algorithm compares a cost of a suboptimal path for a present quadruplet with the cost of switching a path for a previous quadruplet configured for alteration. If the present path is already an optimal path, then no further operations are performed. However, if the cost of a suboptimal path is greater than the switching cost, the previous path is altered so that an optimal path may be configured for the present quadruplet. Otherwise, the present quadruplet maintains its existing path. The capacity of the network is iteratively adjusted to compensate for path selection. The present system may be applied to a differentiated services network or an optical network.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2001Date of Patent: July 22, 2008Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Rauf Izmailov, Subir Biswas, Samrat Ganguly
