The present invention reduces the time required by measuring a sensor object more than before. An input unit (10) includes an acquisition portion (11) that acquires a time sequence signal, a filter portion (12) that filters the time sequence signal according to a frequency, a forwarding portion (13) that forwards a filtered signal by frequency to a control device (90) and a filter switching portion (14). The filter switching portion (14) switches whether the filter portion (12) filters the time sequence signal according to a frequency in the process of acquiring the time sequence signal by the acquisition portion (11).

A system which in some embodiments comprises a wireless smart device assembly that includes a smart device, wherein the smart device assembly is attachable or mountable against an unopened surface of a wall or other structure. In some embodiments, a system comprises a smart device assembly that includes a smart device; and a fastener that includes adhesive and is coupled to the smart device assembly and releasably attachable to a wall or other structure.

Systems and methods for determining Container Closure Integrity (CCI) in a container system comprising a container, an elastomeric stopper, and a retainer for retaining the stopper in place are disclosed. The systems and methods involve disposing, within a seal assembly, a component configured to sense a degree of compression of the elastomeric stopper. In a first implementation, the elastomeric stopper comprises an embedded positioning component embedded within the elastomeric material. The position of the positioning component is sensed using a detection system and the integrity of the closure is determined based on the position of the embedded component. In a second implementation, a force sensitive resistor is disposed within the seal stack to measure the compression of the elastomeric stopper. The compression of the elastomeric stopper is correlated to the integrity of the seal.

A measuring device includes a delta-sigma modulator configured to take an analog signal as a basis for generating a bit stream, and an evaluation unit that receives the bit stream from the delta-sigma modulator and evaluates the received bit stream. The measuring device has a single data transmission line, wherein the delta-sigma modulator is configured to transmit the bit stream to the evaluation unit via the single data transmission line using a transmit clock, and wherein the evaluation unit is configured to reconstruct the transmit clock and/or a phase of bits within the bit stream from the received bit stream and to extract the bits from the received bit stream based on the reconstructed transmit clock and/or based on the reconstructed phase.

In various embodiments, a metabolic urinary test core platform is disclosed. The core platform is adaptable into systems and methods for monitoring an individual's health. The core platform comprises a model; a physiologic fluid; a test panel; an instrument; and a computer, the computer further comprising program instructions written on a non-transient computer-readable media for performing a method of monitoring an individual's health. In certain aspects of the disclosure, the model comprises human individuals categorized into groups based on age and/or lifestyle, such as normal adult, workplace worker, elderly, athlete and dieter.

A method for data compression and transmission includes receiving sensor data which is digitized and transformed into a spectrogram. The spectrogram is filtered and converted into a binary representation. A Hough transform is used to find lines in the representation. Related lines are combined, and then converted back into time frequency space. Lines are optimized and composed into a binary message. The binary message can be transmitted and received at a remote location. A reconstructed spectrogram can be created at the remote location from the lines. In other embodiments, parameters such as power, stability, width, and wander can be calculated and transmitted. The reconstructed spectrogram can be displayed along with the parameters.

Various signal processing techniques may benefit from appropriate handling. For example, certain signal processors may benefit from quarter wavelength unit delay and complex weight coefficient continuous-time filters. A method can include splitting an input signal into a plurality of signal paths. The method can also include complex weighting, for each signal path, a respective signal. The method can further include summing outputs of the signal paths. The method can additionally include providing an output comprising the sum of the signal paths. The complex weighting can be configured to independently control gain, phase and delay of the output signal over broadband.
