The system also includes a computing device independent of the control unit including one or more processors operatively coupled to a memory, a wireless transceiver in communication with the wireless transceiver of the control unit, and a display. The system further includes at least one primary sensor and at least one secondary sensor mountable relative to the subject configured to generate respective primary and secondary signals and to communicate the primary and secondary signals to one of the control unit and the computing device.

Devices and methods for determining item-specific information for single or multiple items on one or multiple substrates are described. The method includes generating multiple sensor multiple dimensions array (MSMDA) data from multiple sensors, where each of the multiple sensors capture sensor data for one or more items in relation to a substrate. For each item, the method includes determining relationships between the multiple sensors based on characteristics of the MSMDA data, determining a location of the item on the substrate based on at least the determined relationships between the multiple sensors, determining an angular orientation of the item on the substrate based on at least the determined relationships between the multiple sensors, and determining a body position of the subject on the substrate based at least the determined relationships between the multiple sensors, the location of the subject, and the angular orientation of the item.

Aspects discussed herein relate to spirometers that can be used to measure lung function using a mobile device. A user can breathe into a mouthpiece that forces the user's breath through a spirometric encoding assembly. The spirometric encoding assembly can be coupled to a mobile device using a spirometric encoding adapter. The spirometric encoding assembly can generate one or more outputs based on the user's breath; this data can be measured using one or more sensors of the mobile device. The data captured by the mobile device can be processed to determine the flow rate and/or volume of the user's breath. The flow rate and volume can be used to determine a variety of characteristics of the user's health, lung capacity, and/or for diagnosing medical conditions. A variety of treatment plans can be identified and/or administered based on the diagnosed medical

An image of a pinna is captured. Based on the image of the pinna, a non-linear transfer function is determined which characterizes how sound is transformed at the pinna. A signal is output indicative of one or more audio cues to facilitate spatial localization of sound via the pinna, where the one or more audio cues is based on the non-linear transfer function.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for monitoring and/or controlling an animal, in particular a horse, by repeatedly recording at least one vital function and/or a movement behavior of the animal.

The present invention provides for a system and method for the diagnosis of skin cancer, wherein visual data is acquired from a skin lesion by a passive or active optical, electronical, thermal or mechanical method, processing the acquired visual field image into a classifier, applying a dermoscopic classification analysis to the image and converting, by sonification techniques, the data to raw audio signals, wherein the raw audio signals are analyzed with a second machine learning algorithm to increase interpretability and the precision of diagnosis.

The present invention relates to a method for generating an alarm pertaining to continuous biometric data and, more specifically, to an alarm generation method in which, if an alarm condition is satisfied, an alarm is output to a user while maintaining the alarm in an activated state during a set alarm period, and changing the alarm type selected by the user during the alarm period, thereby enabling the user to be prompted to input information or take an action in response to the alarm without ignoring the alarm, while not causing inconvenience to the user due to frequent alarms; and when the alarm condition is satisfied, an operating mode of a receiver is determined and the alarm type, which has been set in accordance with the alarm condition, is changed to an alarm type corresponding to the operating mode of the receiver, thereby making it possible to prevent an alarm from being generated against the user's wishes.
