摘要:
A system (10) is provided for enabling biometric identification. The system (10) comprises at least two electrodes (12), a database (14) and a processor (13). The at least two electrodes (12) are to be applied to a face of a subject for capturing electrophysiological signals (51, 52, 53, 54) therefrom. The subject is one of the registered users. The database (14) comprises characteristic eye blink data of registered users. The processor (13) is operably coupled to the electrodes (12) and the database (14) and is operative to receive the electrophysiological signals (51, 52, 53, 54) from the at least two electrodes (12) during at least one eye blink of the subject, to derive eye blink characteristics from the obtained electrophysiological signals (51, 52, 53 54), to make a comparison of the derived eye blink characteristics with at least part of the characteristic eye blink data in the database (14) and to determine an identity of the subject, based on the comparison.

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for the detection of the body position, especially while sleeping. More particularly, the invention relates to how the main body positions during sleep can be derived from the distribution of the reflection of a projected IR light from a subject's body under a blanket. Additionally, the breathing signals can be analyzed to determine the body posture.

A detector (210, 310) that is configured to detect ghost-coherent reflections (260) produced by a superluminescent diode (SLD). The ghost reflections (260) are detected based on the optical coherence produced by reflections from surfaces (350, 450, 555) that are at integer multiples of the reflections within the SLD cavity (213), and thus exhibit the fine resolution discrimination that is typical of optical coherent detectors. In a preferred embodiment, the detector (210, 310) is configured to detect ghost reflections (260) from a surface at a particular multiple of the internal reflections. Ghost reflections (260) at other multiples are optically attenuated (330), or, if such reflections are known to be non-varying, canceled via a calibration procedure.

A method of creating a user profile for use in a brain computer interface includes performing a training exercise, measuring a user's brain signals during the training exercise, mapping specific signals of the user's brain signals to predefined mental task descriptions, and creating a user profile including the user's brain signals mapped to the mental task descriptions. The user profile so created can be used in a method of creating a brain computer interface for a user for an application. This method includes accessing a user profile including the user's brain signals mapped to mental task descriptions, accessing an application profile including a plurality of properties of the application, matching one or more mental task descriptions from the user profile to a respective property from the application profile, and creating a brain computer interface accordingly.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and a device for verifying identity of an individual by employing biometric data derived from a physical feature of the individual. A basic idea of the invention is that, rather than determining peak locations in cyclic signals such as ECG or PPG signals when using these signals as a representation of biometric data for verifying identity of an individual, shape or morphology of the signals is considered.

The invention relates to a blood oximeter for measuring the oxygenation and at least one other parameter of flowing blood in living tissue. According to the invention, the blood oximeter comprises two lightsources (2, 3) emitting light of different wavelengths into tissue, and preferably a light detector (4) for detecting a transmitted and/or reflected part of the light emitted into the tissue, wherein at least one of the light sources is a laser with a laser cavity emitting a laser beam, the laser being adapted to allow a part of the laser beam which is scattered by the tissue to re-enter into the laser cavity, and wherein a laser beam sensor (7, 8) for measuring the light emitted from the laser is provided, the laser beam sensor (7, 8), thus, obtaining a signal which varies in accordance with the self-mixing interferometric effect between the original laser beam and the scattered laser beam. Accordingly, such a blood oximeter is provided that performs well at low perfusion and which further allows for reliable measurements.

A system and method for location determination by laser interference detection uses a wide beamwidth laser projection (301) across a planar area (300). A lens system (222) is used to provide the wide beamwidth projection, and a split-beam system (225) is used to correlate interference patterns to particular segments of the wide beamwidth projection. The reflected interference beams are detected on a detector array (240) that is configured to detect the undulations corresponding to objects within the wide beamwidth projection.
