METHOD FOR ASSESSING PITCHERS
The skeletal position of a pitcher at the moment of foot strike in the delivery of a pitch is compared against a plurality of skeletal positions, the plurality of skeletal positions being associated with a plurality of pitchers, each skeletal position being associated with the moment of foot strike in the delivery of a pitch. A value representative of a position of the pitch on a spectrum is provided, the spectrum being defined by a characteristic known about each of the pitchers of the plurality, the characteristic being Tommy John surgery or maximum fastball speed.
AUTONOMOUSLY NAVIGATING ROBOT CAPABLE OF CONVERSING AND SCANNING BODY TEMPERATURE TO HELP SCREEN FOR COVID-19 AND OPERATION SYSTEM THEREOF
This application relates to an autonomously navigating robot. In one aspect, the robot includes an end effector configured to measure a person's body temperature and, when the body temperature exceeds a standard fever temperature, activate a chatbot to check symptoms of Covid-19. The robot may also include a manipulator configured to align the end effector with the person's forehead. The robot may further include a mobile robot configured to detect the person and move the end effector and the manipulator to a position where the person is located by performing autonomous navigation.
Methods and Systems for Monitoring Circumferential or Linear Displacements to Determine Respiratory Activity
A respiratory monitoring system that uses an elastic cord with at least one wire wound around the elastic cord such that, when current passes through, it generates a magnetic field along the length of the elastic cord. The system further includes a recorder that measures changes in inductance and/or frequency in order to derive a respiratory rate of a patient in a coil cord. Embodiments of the system of the present specification have application in Respiratory Inductive Plethysmography (RIP) belts.
OCCUPANT INJURY DETERMINATION
An example operation includes one or more of collecting, by the transport, data from a device associated with an occupant containing an amount of movement of the device and an amount of time elapsed during the movement, and determining an injury level of the occupant based on the data after a collision.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE ADJUSTING OXYGEN SATURATION AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
According to an embodiment, an electronic device may include a first sensor configured to detect a movement, a second sensor configured to measure an oxygen saturation, a memory, and at least one processor operatively connected to the first sensor, the second sensor, and the memory, and the at least one processor is configured to identify whether a period in which a posture is maintained before a movement is detected is greater than or equal to a predetermined period based on a movement greater than or equal to a predetermined value being detected via the first sensor, to identify an oxygen saturation reference value stored in the memory based on the period in which the posture is maintained before the movement is detected being greater than or equal to the predetermined period, and to adjust, based on the oxygen saturation reference value, an oxygen saturation value obtained via the second sensor during the period in which the posture is maintained before the movement is detected.
CARDIOGRAM COLLECTION AND SOURCE LOCATION IDENTIFICATION
Systems are provided for generating data representing electromagnetic states of a heart for medical, scientific, research, and/or engineering purposes. The systems generate the data based on source configurations such as dimensions of, and scar or fibrosis or pro-arrhythmic substrate location within, a heart and a computational model of the electromagnetic output of the heart. The systems may dynamically generate the source configurations to provide representative source configurations that may be found in a population. For each source configuration of the electromagnetic source, the systems run a simulation of the functioning of the heart to generate modeled electromagnetic output (e.g., an electromagnetic mesh for each simulation step with a voltage at each point of the electromagnetic mesh) for that source configuration. The systems may generate a cardiogram for each source configuration from the modeled electromagnetic output of that source configuration for use in predicting the source location of an arrhythmia.
Methods, Systems, Devices, and Components for Extracting Atrial Signals from QRS and QRST Complexes
Disclosed are various examples and embodiments of systems, devices, components and methods configured to extract atrial signals from electrical signals acquired from a patient suffering from atrial fibrillation. The electrical signals acquired from the patient may be intra-cardiac signals or body surface electrode signals, or both. At least portions of QRS or QRS-T complexes corresponding to determined initial synchronization times are used to generate Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs) corresponding to the extracted QRS complexes. A series of steps follow to generate isolated atrial signals corresponding to each electrical signal by subtracting generated reconstructed signals corresponding to each such electrical signal therefrom.
Deck Extension Assembly
A patient support apparatus includes a support frame that carries a patient support deck comprising a plurality of sections and a deck extension assembly including a deck extension frame that supports a deck extension section. The assembly is movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The support frame includes a deck rail defining a channel and a deck slot extending between a proximal and distal deck notch. The deck extension frame includes an extension rail that is moveably disposed in the channel and a frame slot. A latch link comprises a link slot and is moveably mounted to the deck extension frame. A latch pin is movably supported in each of the deck slot, frame slot, and link slot. The latch pin engages the distal deck notch when the assembly is in the extended position and the proximal deck notch when the assembly is in the retracted position.
ESTIMATING A MENTAL STATE BASED ON SENSOR MEASUREMENTS FROM AN ELECTRONIC CONTACT LENS
A system includes an electronic contact lens that obtains sensor measurements from integrated motion sensors or other types of sensors and a processing module that estimates a mental state of an individual based on the sensor measurements. The processing module identifies patterns of eye movements and analyzes how these patterns change over time. Based on anatomical relationships between eye movement and mental state, the processing module estimates characteristics of the individual such as fatigue, intoxication, injury, or a medical condition that have known effects on eye movement patterns. The electronic contact lens system generates an output indicative of the estimated mental state to alert the individual to the detected condition or to initiate an automated action.
TRANSPORT-RELATED CONTACT NOTIFICATION
An example operation includes one or more of receiving a first health characteristic of an occupant from a first device affixed to a transport, responsive to the first health characteristic being at or outside a threshold, receiving a second health characteristic of the occupant from a second device affixed to the occupant, and sending a notification to other devices that were proximate the second device when the second health characteristic is outside the threshold.
