Patent number: 11810596Abstract: A method for training a speech-emotion recognition classifier under a continuously updatable and re-trainable ASER machine learning model. The quantified training data is generated by first processing the utterances of a human speech source and the associated texts in an emotion evaluation and rating process with normalization; then, extracting the features of the utterance; quantifying the feature attributes of the extracted features by labelling, tagging, and weighting the feature attributes, with their values assigned under measurable scales. The quantified training data comprises the normalized results of the emotion evaluation and rating process, the extracted features, the quantified emotional feature attributes, and the hash values of the quantified emotional feature attributes.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Company LimitedInventors: Ironside Hoi Yeung Lam, Ho Pong Sze, Chun Chung Ho

Publication number: 20230337966Abstract: A handheld, conforming capacitive sensing apparatus configured to measure Sub-Epidermal Moisture (SEM) as a mean to detect and monitor the formation of pressure ulcers. The device incorporates an array of electrodes which are excited to measure and scan SEM in a programmable and multiplexed manner by a battery-less RF-powered chip. The scanning operation is initiated by an interrogator which excites a coil embedded in the apparatus and provides the needed energy burst to support the scanning/reading operation. Each electrode measures the equivalent sub-epidermal capacitance corresponding and representing the moisture content.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Applicants: The Regents of the University of California, Bruin Biometrics, LLCInventors: Majid SARRAFZADEH, William KAISER, Alireza MEHRNIA, Barbara BATES-JENSEN, Frank WANG, Michael FLESCH, Joseph BOYSTAK, Yeung LAM
