20150120016 | MOTION ANALYSIS METHOD - The present invention relates to an automated system of measuring and assessing an individual's improvement in motion (for example, a patient's recovery) through exercise performance. In an embodiment of the system of the present invention, two approaches for monitoring movement are introduced for quantifying an individual's performance. Both approaches consider the control population as their reference and consider the difference, or what is referred to in this application as the distance, between the individual's data and the control population as the measure of performance. | 04-30-2015 |

20150272457 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING HEART RATE - A system, method and device are described for detecting a heart rate. A sensing unit can have a skin-facing surface that is removably securable to a user's skin surface and include at least one sensor positioned to acquire a bio-signal from the skin surface. A controller can be configured to capture a bio-signal stream using the at least one sensor and generate a preprocessed bio-signal stream by band-pass filtering the captured bio-signal stream with a predetermined passband. The controller can also be configured to determine, in a moving window, heartbeat signal portions when the preprocessed bio-signal stream has heartbeat impulse characteristics and determine the time between adjacent heartbeat signal portions to compute the heart rate. | 10-01-2015 |
20150272482 | SYSTEMS, METHODS AND DEVICES FOR ACTIVITY RECOGNITION - Systems, methods and devices for recognizing user activity using data from accelerometer or other sensors. “Feature-based” approach and “model-based” approaches are described. In a feature-based approach, various values are extracted from input signals and projected onto a space that is selected to facilitate better segregation of data points. Classifiers identify the regions in this projected space in which the data points fall to distinguish between the different activity types. In a “model-based” approach, a generative model is trained for each activity type. Different activity types can be distinguished by identifying similarities between the input data with the generative models. | 10-01-2015 |
20150272483 | SYSTEMS, METHODS AND DEVICES FOR EXERCISE AND ACTIVITY METRIC COMPUTATION - Systems, methods and devices that facilitate determination of enhanced exercise or physical activity metrics by considering multiple types of data. Metrics are computable by pre-processing, and in some cases segmenting, a variety of input signals, such as acceleration signals, electromyography signals or other signals from a wearable device. | 10-01-2015 |

20110142391 | Ring resonator with wavelength selectivity - The ring resonator includes waveguides configured to guide light signals. The waveguides include an input waveguide and one or more loop waveguides. One of the loop waveguides is a primary loop waveguide that is optically coupled with the input waveguide at a wavelength of light. A tuner is configured to tune the wavelength at which the light is optically coupled from the input waveguide into the primary loop waveguide. One or more light detectors are each configured to provide an output indicating an intensity of light guided in one of the one or more loop waveguides. Electronics are configured to tune the tuner in response to the output from the light detector. | 06-16-2011 |
20140133864 | Edge coupling of optical devices - A system includes optical modules. Each module includes a different base and one or more module waveguides on the base. Module waveguides from different modules are aligned such that the aligned module waveguides exchange light signals. At least a portion of one of the aligned module waveguides is between the base of one of the modules and the base of another module. First electronics operate a transmitter on a first one of the optical modules so as to generate one of the light signals. Second electronics operate a receiver on a second one of the modules such that the electronics generate an electrical signal in response to the receiver receiving one of the light signals. | 05-15-2014 |
20140332918 | ENHANCING THE PERFORMANCE OF LIGHT SENSORS THAT RECEIVE LIGHT SIGNALS FROM AN INTEGRATED WAVEGUIDE - The light sensor and waveguide are positioned on a base such that a light signal guided by the waveguide is received at the light sensor. The waveguide includes a taper configured such that a ratio of a width of the waveguide at a first location in the taper:the width of the waveguide at a second location in the taper is greater than 1.2:1 where a length of the taper between the first location and the second location is less than 60 μm. | 11-13-2014 |
