Abstract: A safety rail monitoring system, and associated methods of operation, for monitoring use of a safety rail that borders a footpath to help prevent injuries while the user traverses the footpath. The safety system includes a sensor system for detecting the presence of a user on the footpath and the presence of a contact by the user on the safety rail. A sensor observation system in communication with the sensor system receives signals indicating whether the user is present on the footpath and whether the user is holding on to the safety rail. If the user is not holding on to the safety rail, the sensor observation system generates an alert signal to the user to remind the user to hold the safety rail. In some embodiments, the safety system may include a barrier that prevents the user from continuing along the footpath without contacting the safety rail.

Abstract: Systems and related methods for controlling an ear stimulation device with a personal computing device are described. Multiple factors, including a mood of the user, a user control input, and a secondary factor input are used in controlling the ear stimulation device. Secondary factors include, a variety of factors relating to or influencing the state of the user, including but not limited to, environmental conditions, sleep, diet, or various activities of the user. User inputs can be open-ended or selected from a menu, for example. In an aspect, a correlation module correlates mood of the user to other factors, and control of stimulation is based thereon. In various aspects, the system is also responsive to inputs from sensors or computing networks. In an aspect, the earpiece delivers an audio output such as music from an audio player.

Abstract: Described embodiments include a system, method, and apparatus. The apparatus includes a plasmonic nanoparticle dimer. The dimer includes a first plasmonic nanoparticle having a first magnetic element covered by a first negative-permittivity layer comprising a first plasmonic outer surface. The dimer includes a second plasmonic nanoparticle having a second magnetic element covered by a second negative-permittivity layer comprising a second plasmonic outer surface. The dimer includes a separation control structure configured to establish a dielectric-filled gap between the first plasmonic outer surface and the second plasmonic outer surface. A magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element binds the first plasmonic nanoparticle and the second plasmonic nanoparticle together, separated by the dielectric-filled gap established by the separation control structure. The first plasmonic outer surface, the dielectric-filled gap, and the second plasmonic outer surface are configured to cooperatively support one or more mutually coupled plasmonic excitations.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods associated with determining position and/or movement information using ultrasound. A system may include one or more ultrasonic transmitters and/or receivers. An ultrasonic transmitter may be configured to transmit ultrasound into a region bounded by one or more surfaces. The ultrasonic receiver may receive direct ultrasonic reflections and/or rebounded ultrasonic reflections from one or more objects within the region. A mapping or positioning system may generate positional data associated with one or more of the object(s) based on the direct ultrasonic reflection(s) and/or the rebounded ultrasonic reflection(s). The mapping or positioning system may generate enhanced positional data by combining the direct positional data and the rebounded positional data.
