20110125044 | RESPIRATORY DISEASE MONITORING SYSTEM - An automated system for monitoring respiratory diseases, such as asthma, provides noninvasive, multimodal monitoring of respiratory signs and symptoms that can include wheeze and cough. Some embodiments employ a mobile device, such as a cell phone, in which raw data from a microphone and an accelerometer are processed, analyzed, and stored. Data can be collected continuously. Time domain and frequency domain analyses of signals to determine, e.g., energy, duration, and spectral content of candidate sounds can be employed to discriminate symptoms of interest from background sounds and to establish significance. Accelerometer signals are analyzed to determine activity levels. Analyses of a user's symptoms and activity level prior to, during, and after an event can provide meaningful determinations of disease severity and predict future respiratory events. The system can provide a summary of data, as well as an alarm when symptom severity reaches a threshold. | 05-26-2011 |

20090136154 | System and method for image sensing and processing - A system and method for image sensing and processing using the Arithmetic Fourier Transform (AFT). An image sensing array has sensors located based on a set of Farey fractions, each multiplied by a unit block size of the array. Similar sampling can be achieved by interpolating the pixel values of a conventional, uniformly spaced array of sensors. The AFT can be determined extremely efficiently by computing weighted sums of the representative pixel values. Corresponding Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coefficients can then be computed by scaling the AFT coefficients. As a result, the number of multiplication operations required to compute the DCT is dramatically reduced. | 05-28-2009 |
20100207793 | IMAGE SENSING SYSTEM - In general, a method includes comparing a first input signal with a second input signal to produce an output signal. The first input signal corresponds to an amount of light detected by a sensor, and the second input signal corresponds to an aggregated value of the output signal. The method may also include aggregating the output signal in a digital accumulator and converting a digital signal from an output of the digital accumulator to an analog signal. | 08-19-2010 |

20140200469 | NON-CONTACT ELECTROCARDIOGRAM SYSTEM - A non-contact electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor having an ECG electrode and guard electrode coupled to an electronic circuit that actively gain-corrects the electrocardiogram signal based on fringe capacitance signal and filters the gain-corrected signal based on a static charge reference signal. The compensation system first makes a gain correction for the preamplifier to address ECG electrode-to-subject motion and then removes any additive static common mode interference from motion-induced static charge generation. | 07-17-2014 |
