摘要:
A system for controlling environmental parameters can include one or more body worn sensor devices that detect and report one or more physical, physiological, or biological parameters of a person in an environment. The sensor devices can communicate sensor data indicative of the one or more physical, physiological, or biological parameters of a person to a hub that processes the data and communicates with one or more devices or systems that can be used to change environmental. In some embodiments, the environment includes a device or machine, such as a motorized vehicle and the hub can communicate with the device or machine to cause a change in the operation or function of the device or machine. For example, the motorized vehicle can be caused to stop or slow down in response to sensor data indicating that the operator is experiencing stress or becomes disabled.

Disclosed are systems, methods, and devices for sensing and analysis using conformal sensors. Aspects of this disclosure are directed to conformal sensor systems and devices for sensing and analysis of data indicative of body motion, e.g., for such applications as training and/or clinical purposes. According to the representative systems, methods, and devices disclosed in the specification, flexible electronics technology can be implemented as conformal sensors for sensing or measuring motion (including body motion and/or muscle activity), heart rate, electrical activity, and/or body temperature for such applications as medical diagnosis, medical treatment, physical activity, physical therapy and/or clinical purposes. The conformal sensors can be used for detecting and quantifying impact, and can be used for central nervous system disease monitoring.

An electronic device worn on a user includes one or more accelerometers. The one or more accelerometers generate acceleration information based on acceleration experienced by the electronic device. The electronic device further includes a processor and one or more associated memories, and the one or more associate memories include computer program code executable by the processor. The processor, configured by the computer program code, causes the electronic device to process the acceleration information to extract features from the acceleration information. The processor, configured by the computer program code, further causes the electronic device to process the features to determine the location of the electronic device on the user.

Flexible electronic structure and methods for fabricating flexible electronic structures are provided. An example method includes applying a first layer to a substrate, creating a plurality of vias through the first layer to the substrate, and applying a second polymer layer to the first layer such that the second polymer forms anchors contacting at least a portion of the substrate. At least one electronic device layer is disposed on a portion of the second polymer layer. At least one trench is formed through the second polymer layer to expose at least a portion of the first layer. At least a portion of the first layer is removed by exposing the structure to a selective etchant to providing a flexible electronic structure that is in contact with the substrate. The electronic structure can be released from the substrate.

A flexible and/or stretchable "test data sheet" is provided for recording technical parameters associated with various industrial equipment. The test data sheet includes a flexible and/or stretchable substrate, a microprocessor disposed on the substrate, a memory disposed on the substrate, a power source disposed on the substrate, and one or more sensors of various types disposed on the substrate (e.g., temperature sensors, photodiodes/imaging sensors, impact/force sensors, accelerometers, etc.). The test data sheet optionally may include one or more ports or communication interfaces to facilitate wired or wireless communication to/from the data sheet. The test data sheet is coupled (e.g., applied to) an arbitrarily-shaped surface associated with a piece of industrial equipment, a tool, a pipe, etc., and the test data sheet conforms to as to facilitate intimate proximity to the surface. In this manner, the test data sheet may be in the form of an electronic sticker or decal. The elastic nature of the test data sheet permits it to accommodate vibrations, stretching, change of shape, etc. Of the surface itself, and harsh conditions associated with same, while nonetheless maintaining the data sheet's electronic functionality.
