Abstract: A method of controlling an analysis of electromagnetic (EM) signal of a human subject. The method comprises positioning an EM transducer unit in front of a skin area above a target intrabody volume of a human subject, the EM transducer unit having at least one EM transducer, a pressure applying unit that applies a variable pressure on the skin area, and a pressure sensor, measuring at least one pressure parameter indicative of the variable pressure using the pressure sensor, capturing EM signal using the at least one EM transducer, and performing an analysis of the EM signal to infer at least one intrabody parameter of the target intrabody volume. The analysis is controlled according to the at least one pressure parameter.

Abstract: A garment for bringing an EM transducer to contact with a thoracic skin surface area of a wearer is disclosed. The garment comprises a thoracic garment having a EM transducer placement portion and a pressure applying element associated with the EM transducer placement portion for applying a pressure on an EM transducer secured in an associated the EM transducer placement portion when the thoracic garment is worn by a wearer so that the EM transducer applies a respective pressure on a thoracic skin surface area of the wearer.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage media associated with surface traversing by robotic apparatuses using capacitive sensing are described herein. In some instances, the apparatus comprises a body having at least one edge that faces a direction of traverse of a surface by the apparatus, and at least one capacitive probe disposed on or in proximity to the edge, to detect, during the traverse of the surface, a change in a dielectric property of a portion of the surface proximate to the edge. The dielectric property change indicates an obstacle associated with the surface portion. The apparatus further comprises circuitry configured to process the readings provided by the probe, such as to identify the obstacle, and generate instructions to adjust the traversing of the surface by the apparatus, based at least in part on a result of the probe readings processing. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
