Optical Sensor Subsystem Adjacent a Cover of an Electronic Device Housing
A watch having a cover is described. An optical sensor subsystem is attached adjacent to or directly on an interior surface of the cover. In some cases, the optical sensor subsystem includes a substrate to which a light emitter and a light receiver are attached. The light receiver is configured to receive light emitted by the light emitter and reflected from the skin of a person that wears the watch. In some cases, the light emitter and light receiver are separated by a light-blocking wall that abuts the interior surface of the cover. In some cases, a light filter is attached adjacent or directly on the interior surface of the cover, between the cover and the light receiver.
UROFLOW MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD
A uroflowmetry device including a funnel for funneling urine of a user, a sensor for measuring urine level in the funnel over a measurement period, a paddle wheel operable to rotate in response to urine exiting the funnel and generate a signal after each rotation during said measurement period, a transmitter for transmitting data from the uroflowmetry device to a smart device, and a processor. The processor configured to, while the user is urinating, compute a urine flowrate based on urine level in the funnel and a number of rotations of the paddle wheel over the measurement period, and transmit the urine flowrate to the smart device to provide real-time urination feedback to the user.

The system includes a camera configured to capture an image sequence, a processing unit configured to generate at least one virtual model of an inner ear, wherein the at least one virtual model of the inner ear comprises an accurate anatomical representation of a real human inner ear; and a display configured to display the at least one virtual model of the inner ear over the image sequence.
TOOTH ANALYSIS SERVER, TOOTH ANALYSIS TERMINAL, AND TOOTH ANALYSIS PROGRAM
Provided is a tooth analysis server including: a server communication unit linked with a tooth photographing device for photographing teeth to communicate with a user terminal; a database management unit for managing an image of the photographed teeth as data; an analysis unit for analyzing a state of the teeth of the user according to the request; and a result providing unit for providing an analysis result for the state of the teeth of the user to the user terminal, wherein the analysis unit receives a first image obtained by photographing the teeth of the user at a first speed from the tooth photographing device to perform a first analysis, and receives a second image obtained by photographing the doubtful area at a second speed slower than the first speed from the tooth photographing device to perform a second analysis.
SYSTEMS FOR MANAGING ALARMS FROM MEDICAL DEVICES
A system for managing an alarm based on active data from a medical device and based on supplemental data includes: a display configured to present select active data from among a plurality of active datasets comprising the active data and present select supplemental data from among a plurality of supplemental datasets comprising the supplemental data; and a processing system configured to: trigger an alarm based on the active data, determine which of the plurality of supplemental datasets to present as the select supplemental data in the second window based on the alarm triggered; control the display to display the select supplemental datasets in the second window; and based on receiving a user alarm input indicating that the alarm is false, provide an interface for updating the one or more alarm limits based on the displayed select supplemental data to manage the alarm of the medical device.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SELECTING, ACTIVATING, OR SELECTING AND ACTIVATING TRANSDUCERS
Transducer-based systems can be configured to display a graphical representation of a transducer-based device, the graphical representation including graphical elements corresponding to transducers of the transducer-based device, and also including between graphical elements respectively associated with a set of the transducers and respectively associated with a region of space between the transducers of the transducer-based device. Selection of graphical elements and/or between graphical elements can cause activation of the set of transducers associated with the selected elements. Selection of a plurality of graphical elements and/or between graphical elements can cause visual display of a corresponding activation path in the graphical representation. Visual characteristics of graphical elements and between graphical elements can change based on an activation-status of the corresponding transducers. Activation requests for a set of transducers can be denied if it is determined that a transducer in the set of transducers is unacceptable for activation.
PATIENT-WORN WIRELESS PHYSIOLOGICAL SENSOR
A wireless, patient-worn, physiological sensor configured to, among other things, help manage a patient that is at risk of forming one or more pressure ulcers is disclosed. According to an embodiment, the sensor includes a base having a top surface and a bottom surface. The sensor also includes a substrate layer including conductive tracks and connection pads, a top side, and a bottom side, where the bottom side of the substrate layer is disposed above the top side of the base. Mounted on the substrate layer are a processor, a data storage device, a wireless transceiver, an accelerometer, and a battery. In use, the sensor senses a patient's motion and wirelessly transmits information indicative of the sensed motion to, for example, a patient monitor. The patient monitor receives, stores, and processes the transmitted information.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TESTING CONTACT QUALITY OF ELECTRICAL-BIOSIGNAL ELECTRODES
One variation of a method for testing contact quality of electrical-biosignal electrodes includes: outputting a drive signal through a driven electrode, the drive signal comprising an alternating-current component oscillating at a reference frequency and a direct-current component; reading a set of sense signals from a set of sense electrodes at a first time; calculating a first combination of the set of sense signals; calculating a first direct-current value comprising a combination of the first combination and the direct-current component of the drive signal at approximately the first time; and at a second time succeeding the first time, shifting the direct-current component of the drive signal output by the driven electrode to the first direct-current value.
Single-sensor hyperspectral imaging device
The present disclosure generally relates to hyperspectral spectroscopy, and in particular, to systems, methods and devices enabling a single-sensor hyperspectral imaging device. Hyperspectral (also known as “multispectral”) spectroscopy is an imaging technique that integrates multiples images of an object resolved at different narrow spectral bands (i.e., narrow ranges of wavelengths) into a single data structure, referred to as a three-dimensional hyperspectral data cube. Data provided by hyperspectral spectroscopy allow for the identification of individual components of a complex composition through the recognition of spectral signatures of individual components within the three-dimensional hyperspectral data cube.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ACTIVATING TRANSDUCERS
Transducer-based systems and methods may be configured to display a graphical representation of a transducer-based device, the graphical representation including graphical elements corresponding to transducers of the transducer-based device, and also including between graphical elements respectively associated with a set of the transducers and respectively associated with a region of space between the transducers of the transducer-based device. Selection of graphical elements and/or between graphical elements can cause activation of the set of transducers associated with the selected elements. Transducer activation characteristics, such as initiation time, activation duration, activation sequence, and energy delivery characteristics, can vary based on numerous factors. Visual characteristics of graphical elements and between graphical elements can change based on an activation-status of the corresponding transducers. Activation requests for a set of transducers can be denied if it is determined that a transducer in the set of transducers is unacceptable for activation.
