Patent number: 11307050Abstract: An apparatus and method determine movement information for a user that carries an accelerometer whilst moving. The apparatus receives acceleration data from the accelerometer defined relative to a frame of reference of the accelerometer. A transformation is determined and applied to the acceleration data or to data derived from the acceleration data to determine acceleration data is a user frame of reference that includes a user direction of travel and a side to side direction transverse to the user direction of travel. The acceleration data or data derived from the acceleration data is analyzed to determine a time period corresponding either to a user stride period or to a step period as the user is walking or running; and information about accelerations in the side to side direction are used to disambiguate whether the determined time period corresponds to the user stride period or to the user step period.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2020Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Koneksa Health Inc.Inventors: Peter John Kelly, Robert David Ellis, Chengrui Huang

Patent number: 11289900Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to detection of a broken conductor in an electric power system. In one embodiment, a broken conductor detector may be configured to be mounted to an electrical conductor and may comprise a communication subsystem configured to transmit a signal configured to indicate that the conductor is broken. A sensor may determine a plurality of vectors. A processing subsystem may be configured to receive the plurality of vectors from the sensor and to identify when the vector is outside of a range defined by a threshold value. The processing subsystem may determine that the conductor is falling based on the plurality of vectors remaining outside of the threshold for a period of time determined by the timer subsystem. A signal may be transmitted by the communication subsystem to indicate that the conductor is falling.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2019Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: James Mobley, Shankar V.
