A computing device, such as a wearable device, may include a light source and a photodetector array. The photodetector array may be used to determine a touch event of a user that occurs during a time interval. A subset of the plurality of photodetectors associated with the touch event may provide detection signals at each of a plurality of times within the time interval, which may be aggregated to obtain a time series of aggregated detection signals. Biometric data of the user may be generated, based on the time series of aggregated detection signals.

A health monitoring urinalysis system that monitors several health indicators from human urine is provided. The system includes a temperature sensor and several electrochemical sensors that are installed in a urine collection basin, such as, a toilet or a urinal and may automatically collect urine information after each use. The system collects data during the routine and normal use of a urine collection basin. The system includes a control and measurement unit that may be installed outside the urine collection basin. The control and measurement unit receives sensor measurements and transmits the measurements to one or more remote electronic devices. The remote electronic devices and/or the processor of the control and measurement unit perform data analysis, provide diagnostic, and generate health alerts. The system performs recurrent health monitoring after the urine collection basin is used and may detect abnormal conditions at early stages, in addition to a routine urine test.

A fingerprint processing device includes a match processing unit configured to determine, based on a first degree, a plurality of feature points having a large value of the first degree among the feature points of a fingerprint specified in a fingerprint image of a matching source, the first degree representing a first distance to other feature points, as representative feature points used in match processing of the fingerprint.

A robot according to the present disclosure comprises: a microphone; a camera disposed to face a predetermined direction; and a processor configured to: inactivate driving of the camera and activate driving of the microphone, if a driving mode of the robot is set to a user monitoring mode; acquire a sound signal through the microphone; activate the driving of the camera based on an event estimated from the acquired sound signal; confirm the event from the image acquired through the camera; and control at least one constituent included in the robot to perform an operation based on the confirmed event.

The invention relates a powder brush, which includes a body having mounting means for mounting a powder cartridge thereon and a brush head assembly attachable to an operative front end of the body. The brush head assembly defines a bristle mounting means capable of retaining a plurality of circumferentially arranged bristles therein. Furthermore, the powder brush includes a powder dispensing arrangement, in use, operable selectively to dispense powder from the powder cartridge onto the plurality of bristles. The dispensing arrangement includes an agitator disposed inside the powder cartridge, which cartridge includes a biasing means operable to bias the agitator towards a closed and open position. The bristles comprise of features, in particular, ostrich feathers of which a stem portion is secured to the brush head assembly.

An imaging device includes: an imaging portion that captures an image of a portion of a living body to take in the image; a display portion that displays first and second display images with being superimposed on each other, the first display image being based on the taken-in image, the second display image including guidance regarding a way to place the portion of the living body in a prescribed position; a determination portion that determines whether the portion of the living body is placed in the prescribed position; and a control portion that, until it is determined that the portion of the living body is placed in the prescribed position, causes the imaging portion to newly capture and take in a new image of the portion of the living body and causes the display portion to display an image based on the new taken-in image.

Contactless operation of a medical device, such as a hemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD) device, is provided via a mobile pointing apparatus and a receiving arrangement associated with the medical device. The mobile pointing apparatus includes a signal emitter for emitting an optical or electromagnetic signal, and the receiving arrangement associated with the medical device determines a pointing target of the mobile pointing apparatus relative to the medical device based on the signal emitted by the mobile pointing apparatus and triggers a function of the device based on the pointing target of the mobile pointing apparatus.

In one example, a display unit comprises a display panel that is configured to display digital images. The display unit further comprises an at least partially transparent protective layer that is arranged above the display panel. The display unit further comprises a controller that is communicatively attached onto an upper surface of the display panel. A biometric sensor pattern is integrated in the controller, and the controller is configured to control the biometric sensor pattern.
