A controllable window of time is provided for waking a user from sleep. A system uses this window to variably control the acquisition of physiological data from a device such as a wearable monitor, such as by initiating data acquisition at the beginning of the window, and the acquired data can be used in turn to control when, during the window, an active alarm to the user might be provided. Using this technique, data acquisition from a physiological monitoring device or the like can be increased around the onset of the window to more accurately calculate a suitable waking time for the user within the window. This advantageously avoids the need for continuous, high-frequency data communications during long intervals of sleep, and focuses data transmission, related communications, and computing resources on those intervals when up-to-date data might be most useful for optimizing the user's wake up experience.

A method for operating a surgical device, includes: determining whether a switch has transitioned from a first condition, corresponding to a first operating mode, to a second condition, corresponding to a second operating mode; when it is determined that the switch has transitioned from the first condition to the second condition: maintaining the first operating mode for a pre-determined time; in a case where the switch remains in the second condition throughout the pre-determined time, switching to the second operating mode after expiration of the pre-determined time; and when the switch returns to the first condition during the pre-determined time, maintaining the first operating mode after expiration of the pre-determined time.

A state acquisition unit of an information presentation device acquires a state of a user. Then, an action information acquisition unit acquires an action according to the state acquired by the state acquisition unit by inputting the state acquired by the state acquisition unit to a learning model or a learned model for outputting the action according to the state from the state of the user, the learning model or the learned model being subjected to reinforcement learning based on a reward function which outputs a reward according to the state of the user relative to a target state of the user. Then, an information output unit outputs the action acquired by the action information acquisition unit.

A device comprising an organic light-emitting diode comprising an organic layer sequence, a radiation exit area and an encapsulation, wherein the organic layer sequence comprises at least one radiation-emitting region which generates electromagnetic radiation in the spectral range from infrared radiation to UV radiation during operation, and wherein the encapsulation forms a seal of the organic layer sequence against environmental influences, at least one touch-sensitive operating element, wherein the at least one touch-sensitive operating element comprises at least one touch sensor, wherein the device is flexible.

An electronic device displays a reminder for increasing the first battery level above a first preset battery level when the a current time is within a first preset time period preceding a scheduled mode change and the first battery level is below a first preset battery level. The electronic device forgoes displaying the reminder for increasing the first battery level above the first preset battery level when the current time is outside of the first preset time period and the first battery level is below a first preset battery level.

Sleep tracking systems and techniques for monitoring two or more co-sleepers in a single bed are disclosed. Such systems and techniques may incorporate sleeper identification, as well as various non-user-specific aspects. Some implementations may incorporate user-specific or user-tailored alarm functionality.

An adjustable alarm indicator of an alarm application is described. The adjustable alarm indicator may be presented in connection with an alarm setting sequence. The adjustable alarm indicator may include a variable element having a variable annular shape, a first element associated with a first end of the variable element, and a second element associated with a second end of the variable element. The first element may be independently moveable to adjust the size of the variable element. The second element may be dependently moveable to cause the first element, the second element, and the variable element to move.
