Filed:

Oct 31, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/932866

Inventors:

P. Alexander Derchak - Summit NJ, US
Kathryn Lynn Ostertag - Orange MA, US
Lance Jonathan Myers - Ventura CA, US

Assignee:

Adidas AG

International Classification:

A61B 5/00
A61B 5/08

US Classification:

600300, 600301, 600529, 600538

Abstract:

This invention provides monitoring garments for non-invasively monitoring physiological parameters in un-restrained and/or restrained animals, such as monkeys, rabbits, dogs, horses, and the like. The invention also includes methods and systems for collecting and processing monitoring data and methods for recognizing apneas and other respiratory events, periods of restfulness and wakefulness, stereotypical behavior and other indicators of dysphoric states, periods of emesis, and occurrence of barking and coughing.

Assignee:

adidas AG - Herzogenaurach

International Classification:

A61B 5/08

US Classification:

600529, 600532, 600538

Abstract:

The invention provides a method for determining when a person is snoring by determining a candidate snore event by detecting the occurrence of a person's breath, and detecting the occurrence of a sound event. The method further includes confirming that the candidate snore event is not an isolated snore event by determining that breaths immediately preceding and following the candidate snore event include other candidate snore events.

Filed:

Jan 25, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/627198

Inventors:

P. Derchak - Summit NJ, US
Lance Myers - Ventura CA, US

International Classification:

G06K 9/00

US Classification:

382115000

Abstract:

The invention provides a method for verifying a person's identity, which includes obtaining a password and/or random key from a person, and comparing the obtained password and/or random key to a plurality of known passwords and/or random keys to determine a likely identity of the person. The method further includes measuring a specific biometric of the person, the specific biometric comprising a respiratory, cardiac, or other physiologic biometric, and comparing the measured specific biometric to the known specific biometric of the person that is associated with the obtained password and/or random key to verify the likely identity of the person.

Appl. No.:

11/753337

Inventors:

Marvin Sackner - Miami Beach FL, US
Lance Myers - Ventura CA, US
Desmond Keenan - Sherman Oaks CA, US
Dana Inman - Gainsville FL, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/0476

US Classification:

600509000

Abstract:

This invention provides methods and systems for extracting cardiac parameters, including ventricular wall motion, from a plethysmographic signal is provided. Additionally, the invention provides a wide range of uses and system configurations for cardiac monitoring, including ambulatory uses, uses for stress testing, uses for monitoring first responder personnel, and the like.

P. Derchak - Ventura CA, US
Desmond Keenan - Sherman Oaks CA, US
Dana Inman - Gainesville FL, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/091

US Classification:

600538000, 600529000

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to improved systems and methods for processing respiratory signals derived generally from respiratory plethysmography, and especially from respiratory inductive plethysmographic sensors mounted on a garment for ambulatory recording. The systems and methods provide improved signal filtering for artifact rejection, improved calibration of sensor data to produce outputs indicative of lung volumes. Further, this invention provides improved systems and methods directed to processing lung volume signals, however measured or derived, to provide improved determination of respiratory parameters and improved recognition of selected respiratory events.

Filed:

Oct 26, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/925109

Inventors:

P. Alexander Derchak - Summit NJ, US
Lance Jonathan Myers - Ventura CA, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/00

US Classification:

600301

Abstract:

The invention provides a method for automatically identifying emotional states of a person in real-time based on physiological responses by exposing a person to a stimulus, measuring the person's physiological response to the stimulus, and comparing the measured physiological response to a known baseline physiological. The deviation of the measured physiological response from the baseline physiological response is determinative of the emotional state.
