An apparatus for generating ECG recordings and a method for using the same are disclosed. The apparatus includes a handheld device having four electrodes on an outer surface thereof, the handheld device having an extended configuration and a storage configuration. The apparatus also includes a controller configured to measure signals between the electrodes to provide signals that are used to generate an ECG recording selected from the group consisting of standard lead traces and precordial traces. When the handheld device is in the extended configuration and the first and second electrodes contact a first hand of a patient such that the first and second electrodes contact different locations on the first hand, the third electrode is in contact with a location on the patient's other hand and the fourth electrode contacts a point on the patient's body that depends on the particular trace being measured.

A method of determining a fused sensor measurement is disclosed including: obtaining sensor measurements from sensors detecting a same type of physiological measurement; determining a signal quality index (SQI) of each sensor including determining an extent to which a sensor measurement differs from others among the sensor measurements obtained from each sensor; determining a weightage of each sensor based on the SQI of each sensor; and determining a fused sensor measurement from the plurality of sensors based on the weightage of each sensor and filtered sensor measurements of each sensor obtained from a Kalman filter operation. A vehicle safety system includes: a vehicle electronic control unit configured to: determine the sensor measurement extent, to determine the SQI of each sensor, determine the weightage of each sensor, determine the fused sensor measurement, determine the occupant's physiological condition, and if the physiological condition is abnormal, perform at least one vehicle operation.

A terminal is disclosed. The terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: an output unit for outputting a notification; a storage unit for storing a database; a control unit for controlling the outputting of the notification; and an artificial intelligence unit for acquiring information regarding a user's context, and outputting a notification when the user's context corresponds to information included in the database, wherein the database includes at least one of a user's personal database, a standard activity database, and an accident type database.

A vehicle includes a processing device that detects an authentication device approaching the vehicle, determines a user's impaired state based on user condition information acquired using at least one device mounted on the vehicle, and performs a safe driving assistance service. The safe driving assistance service can prevent an impaired user from operating the vehicle.

A vital sign measurement device includes at least one sensor that is provided at a seat, and that is configured to contact a finger of a measurement subject and to measure a vital sign of the measurement subject. The seat includes a seat surface portion on which a femoral region and buttocks of the measurement subject are to be placed and a seat back capable of being disposed along a back of the measurement subject. The at least one sensor includes a side-portion sensor that is disposed below a side edge of the seat surface portion.

Methods, apparatus and systems for enhanced wireless monitoring of vital signs are described. In one example, a described system comprises: a transmitter configured to transmit a wireless signal through a wireless channel of a venue; a receiver configured to receive the wireless signal through the wireless channel; and a processor. The received wireless signal differs from the transmitted wireless signal due to the wireless channel that is impacted by a periodic motion of a vital sign of an object in the venue. The processor is configured for: obtaining a time series of channel information (CI) of the wireless channel based on the received wireless signal, computing a two dimensional (2D) decomposition of the time series of CI (TSCI), enhancing the 2D decomposition, and monitoring the periodic motion of the vital sign based on the enhanced 2D decomposition.

The present disclosure relates to establishing bidirectional communication between a brain wave processing device and a vehicle to control at least one vehicle component of the vehicle. For this purpose, a brain-computer communication channel is provided between the brain wave processing device and the respective vehicle component. Subsequently, a control signal is determined as a function of a brain wave of the operator of the brain wave processing device and transmitted via the brain-computer communication channel to adapt at least one operating parameter of the respective vehicle component. This causes a change in the operating state of the respective vehicle component. Depending on this, an output signal is generated and is assigned to the change in the operating state of the vehicle component. This output signal is transmitted back to the brain wave processing device via the brain-computer communication channel and is output to the operator by means of an output unit of the brain wave processing device.

Embodiments of the present disclosure sets forth a computer-implemented method comprising receiving, from at least one sensor, sensor data associated with an environment, computing, based on the sensor data, a cognitive load associated with a user within the environment, computing, based on the sensor data, an affective load associated with an emotional state of the user, determining, based on both the cognitive load at the affective load, an affective-cognitive load, determining, based on the affective-cognitive load, a user readiness state associated with the user, and causing one or more actions to occur based on the user readiness state.

The driving support apparatus includes a memory configured to store information representing a degree of familiarity with an environment for a driver of a vehicle; and a processor configured to detect an object existing around the vehicle based on a sensor signal representing a situation around the vehicle obtained by a sensor mounted on the vehicle, determine whether or not the object approaches the vehicle so that the object may collide with the vehicle, and notify the driver of the approach via a notification device mounted on the vehicle at a timing corresponding to the degree of familiarity with the environment for the driver of the vehicle, when it is determined that the object approaches the vehicle so that the object may collide with the vehicle.

A radio frequency (RF) front end device has a signal traveling from a first antenna to a second antenna in an uplink path and a signal traveling from a third antenna to a fourth antenna in a downlink path. The device is under the control of automatic on/off controller (AOOC) which upon receiving a signal indication from a receive signal detector and amplifier (RSDA) turns on the operations of power amplifier (PA) and simultaneously turns off a low noise amplifier (LNA). This LNA is turned off when the power amplifier is turned on to prevent uplink path and downlink path forming a feedback loop which would result in oscillation, noise and interference.
