A ring-shaped earphone may be configured to be worn in an ear. When not worn in the ear, the ring-shaped earphone may be conveniently stored on a finger. In one example, the ring-shaped earphone may include a ring-shaped body defined by an outer cylindrical surface and an inner cylindrical surface. The earphone may include a speaker within the ring-shaped body. The speaker may be configured to project sound through a speaker opening in the outer cylindrical surface. The earphone may include a microphone within the housing. The microphone may be configured to receive sound through a microphone opening in the inner cylindrical surface.

Non-invasive measuring device for measuring blood glucose concentrations on a user's finger, based on microwave signals sensitive to differences in electrical permittivity caused by changes in blood glucose concentration, comprising a rectangular cross-sectional hollow prismatic resonant cavity, which is filled with a dielectric material, an antenna and a mold; a signal-generating means capable of generating microwave signals connected to the antenna through a signal-differentiating means; a signal-detecting means connected to the antenna through the signal-differentiating means; at least one means of control, connected to the signal-detecting means and to the signal-generating means, which controls signal generation and signal reception from the signal-detecting means.

A vein simulator system can be used by clinicians to improve their proficiency in placing catheters such as PIVCs or in otherwise accessing a vasculature. A vein simulator system can include a simulated portion of a body, such as a simulated human arm, that includes at least one simulated vein. The vein simulator system can also include a control system, one or more sensors and one or more feedback components. The control system can leverage the one or more sensors to generate feedback during a clinician's attempt to place a catheter and can output the feedback via the feedback components, either during or after the attempt.

A package (1) for a fluid formulation (2) to be delivered as a spray or a jet of droplets to an eye (4), comprising an enclosed container (5) a storage recess (6) containing a fluid formulation (2); and a delivery recess (7), adjacent to the storage recess (6). The storage recess (6) and the delivery recess (7) are separated by a fluid barrier (8). Package (1) further comprises a matrix of holes (9), for generating the spray and/or jet of droplets, the matrix of holes (9) opening into the delivery recess (7). The storage recess (6) is configured to expel, by application of an impulse thereto, a dose of fluid formulation (2). The matrix of holes (9) is configured to steer the spray and/or jet of droplets to the target area (3) on the eye (4). Also provided is a device (20) for delivery of the fluid formulation, and a method for delivering the fluid formulation (2) as a spray or a jet of droplets to an eye (4) of a user.

Provided are a heart rate detection method and a wearable device. The wearable device includes a casing, a processor installed in the casing, and an optical heart rate sensing module and a distance sensing module connected to the processor and installed on a side of the casing facing a wearing part of a user. The method includes: detecting, by the distance sensing module, a positional relationship between the optical heart rate sensing module and the wearing part of the user to obtain relative position data of the optical heart rate sensing module relative to the wearing part of the user; and adjusting a signal transmission power of the optical heart rate sensing module according to the relative position data, and detecting, by the optical heart rate sensing module, a heart rate of the user.

A method of calibrating a pair of body mounted sensors, the method comprising the steps of: (a) in a baseline position of a joint to be measured, determining a first offset between a measured joint angle and an angle between pair of sensors, one mounted on each side of the joint to be measured, so as to calibrate the sensors; (b) after at least one of the sensors has been removed and reapplied, placing the joint back into the baseline position such that the sensors are in a second configuration relative to each other; and (c) determining a second offset between the measured knee angle and an angle between the pair of sensors in the second configuration in order to recalibrate the sensors such that, in each of the first and second configurations, the same joint angle for the baseline position is reported.

Apparatus and methods for monitoring electrical activity within the brain of a person (“brainwaves”) employing electrodes or other sensors placed proximate to portions of the body below the head to develop raw signals without physically touching the body and penetrating hair and clothing. Additionally, apparatus and methods for monitoring electrical activity within the brain of a person (“brainwaves”) employing non-contacting sensors placed proximate to portions of the head to develop raw signals. The raw signals are filtered to produce analysis signals including frequency components relevant to brain electrical activity while attenuating unrelated frequency components. The apparatus and methods can be used for biofeedback-based attention training, human performance training, gaming, biometrics, cognitive state detection, and relaxation training. Either wired or wireless signal connections are made to electronic circuitry, typically including a digital computer, for performing signal processing and analysis functions.

A facial skin disorder (FSD) identification system is provided and includes a sliding rail arranged around a human facial epidermis, a carrier arranged on the sliding rail, at least one image capturing device arranged on the carrier, and a control circuit unit arranged on the carrier for the carrier to move on the sliding rail and the image capturing device to capture images of the human facial epidermis.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a lighting-emitting diode (LED) module configured to emit light of a first polarization direction, a first photodiode configured to receive the light emitted from the LED module through a first polarizer having the first polarization direction, a second photodiode configured to receive the light emitted from the LED module through a second polarizer having a second polarization direction perpendicular to the first polarization direction, and a processor configured to determine wearing information of the electronic device based on luminous intensity of light sensed from each of the first photodiode and the second photodiode.
