A monitoring device configured to be attached to a subject includes a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor configured to measure physiological information from the subject, and at least one processor configured to process signals from the PPG sensor to determine heart rate and RR-interval (RRi) for the subject, and to determine a heart rate pattern for the subject over a period of time. The at least one processor is configured to change a sampling frequency of the PPG sensor for determining RRi in response to the determined heart rate pattern. The at least one processor is configured to reduce the sampling frequency of the PPG sensor in response to determining a pattern of heart rate below a threshold.

Provided is a control system which can support a user with respect to the designation of a data group to be collected. The control system (1) includes: first and second controllers (100, 200); a drive device (300) which has a plurality of safety functions for a motor (400); a data tracing module (154) which traces a state value for indicating an operation state of the motor (400); and a support device (500) which receives a setting of the data group to be collected including the state value. The support device (500) includes: a storage (510) which stores collection candidate information in which a data group of collection candidates is associated with a type of a safety function; and an output section (508) which outputs, as the data group to be collected, the data group of collection candidates associated with one selected safety function.

The present invention relates to systems and methods for improved building systems management and maintenance. The present invention provides a system for providing an augmented reality-like interface for the management and maintenance of building systems, specifically the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems within a building, including the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems.

An improved flow rate metering device that provides for the mixing and dispensing of two or more fluids to form final mixture, for example, for automatic washing of cars and trucks. More specifically, the invention is a system that mixes and ejects chemicals, creating a very precise mixture of one or more chemicals with a dilutant, such as water. The device also has the capability of monitoring an entire chemical dilution and release system, comprising multiple chemicals, and using software to document past and current usage rates, along with predicting future usage rates based upon both past usage rates and environmental conditions.

A method of monitoring a cooking process using an over-the-range appliance mountable over a cooktop appliance includes obtaining an image of a cooking utensil that is positioned on the cooktop appliance and is performing a cooking process. The method further includes determining that a lid is required for the cooking process, e.g., based on a recipe being run as a software application on the over-the-range appliance. The image may be analyzed using artificial intelligence techniques to determine that the lid is not present when required, and responsive action may be implemented, e.g., by turning off the cooktop appliance or providing a user notification.
