Abstract:
A device for bioimpedance determining is provided. The device includes contact electrodes for contacting with one part of the user's body and for contacting with another part of the user's body, an alternating current source, a current measurement circuit, a voltage measurement circuit in the region of one of the contact electrodes for contacting with one part of the user's body, and in the region of one of the contact electrodes for contacting with another part of the user's body, a switch connected to the alternating current (AC) source and to the current measurement circuit and configured to form a first and a second current measurement paths so that the current flows through the user's body from one part of the body to another part of the body, and a control unit configured to determine the user's bioimpedance based on the measured current and voltage values.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a wearable device comprising: an impedance sensor for measuring an impedance signal inside a user's body; and a controller for determining the number of meals for a predetermined period and the glycemic index corresponding to each meal using the measured impedance signal and providing the user's eating habit information on the basis of the number of meals and the glycemic index.
Abstract:
A mobile communication device having a wireless power receiver and wireless communications unit, in which inductors of the communications unit and the power receiver are in close proximity to each other, is provided. The mobile communication device includes a wireless communications unit including a first inductor configured to transmit and receive data via inductive coupling, and a wireless power receiver. The wireless power receiver includes a second inductor which is disposed above the first inductor and receives power via inductive coupling, a ferrite shield disposed between the first inductor and the second inductor, and a compensator disposed between the first inductor and the ferrite shield. Compensator is adapted to compensate for variations in the inductance of the first inductor caused by the ferrite shield.
