20140300490 | WEARABLE COMPUTING DEVICE FOR SECURE CONTROL OF PHYSIOLOGICAL SENSORS AND MEDICAL DEVICES, WITH SECURE STORAGE OF MEDICAL RECORDS, AND BIOIMPEDANCE BIOMETRIC - A wearable master electronic device (Amulet) has a processor with memory, the processor coupled to a body-area network (BAN) radio and uplink radio. The device has firmware for BAN communications with wearable nodes to receive data, and in an embodiment, send configuration data. The device has firmware for using the uplink radio to download apps and configurations, and upload data to a server. An embodiment has accelerometers in Amulet and wearable node, and firmware for using accelerometer readings to determine if node and Amulet are worn by the same subject. Other embodiments use pulse sensors or microphones in the Amulet and node to both identify a subject and verify the Amulet and node are worn by the same subject. Another embodiment uses a bioimpedance sensor to identify the subject. The wearable node may be an insulin pump, chemotherapy pump, TENS unit, cardiac monitor, or other device. | 10-09-2014 |

20090044687 | System for integrating music with an exercise regimen - A system is disclosed for selecting and integrating music received from a user's personal music library into an exercise routine. The system includes a music analyzer software module that characterizes rhythmic qualities of each song in the music library, creating a rhythmically quantified collection of the user's music which serves as one input to a song selection module. Other inputs to the selection module include target workout parameters and user defined data that include the user's physical metrics and the user's preferences for song selection and repetition. Real time data associated with the user's physical activity can also be supplied to the selection module, which associates particular songs with the user's physical activity. The song selection module supplies the selected songs in a sequential fashion to a personal music device worn by the user while the user is engaged in a structured type of physical exertion. | 02-19-2009 |

20140022121 | NAVIGATING IN AREAS OF UNCERTAIN POSITIONING DATA - Methods and devices for obtaining a position of a mobile entity. An antenna may be used to receive first signals associated with a first positioning system and second signals associated with a second positioning system. Interference associated with the first and second signals may be monitored. A first location unit coupled to the first receiver may identify a first candidate position by processing first data associated with the first signals. A second location unit coupled to the second receiver may identify a second candidate position by processing second data associated with the second signals. A position may be estimated by applying filter processing to input data comprising the to first candidate position, the second candidate position, and interference data associated with the interference. | 01-23-2014 |
20140025286 | PROACTIVE MITIGATION OF NAVIGATIONAL UNCERTAINTY - Methods and devices for navigation and/or guidance. A device may be configured to predict an uncertainty of positioning data in the area, the prediction being based at least in part on a dynamic navigation model. The device may further be configured to guide the mobile entity based at least in part on the predicted uncertainty of the positioning data in the area. By predicting and guiding while the mobile entity is outside the area, the device may proactively mitigate an impact of the predicted uncertainty of the positioning data by initiating rerouting of the mobile entity, updating an inertial navigation system, and/or issuing an alert regarding the predicted uncertainty to of the positioning data to an operator of the mobile entity. The dynamic navigation model may comprise at least one of an environment model, a cost model, one or more positioning system models, and an excursion route model. | 01-23-2014 |
20140232596 | ANTENNA ARRAY CALIBRATION - An apparatus for performing calibration of an antenna array having a plurality of antennas including at least a first antenna and a second antenna. The apparatus includes a global navigation satellite system receiver configured to measure a first phase of a first signal received by the first antenna from a satellite and a second phase of a second signal received by the second antenna from the satellite. The apparatus also includes at least one processor configured to receive the first phase and the second phase from the global navigation satellite system receiver and to operate in a calibration mode to determine a difference between the first and second phases. | 08-21-2014 |
