    摘要: Wearable apparatuses and methods for using reinforced neurofeedback for sports training are disclosed. Embodiments of such wearable apparatuses are configured to be worn at or near a user's joint to monitor the joint position. An embodiment may comprise a processor, a computer-readable medium, a sensor, an IO component, a battery, a timer, a signaling component, and a flexible printed circuit. The computer-readable medium of this embodiment may be configured to store at least one optimal range of joint position and/or a sequence of timed optimal ranges of joint positions for a specific sport. In this embodiment, the sensor continuously detects the joint position, and once the processor determines that the joint position falls outside the optimal range of joint position, it activates the signaling component to send a feedback signal so that the user may immediately make correction. Another embodiment is a disposable, biodegradable epidermal patch with a middle layer of balsa wood sandwiched between two protective layers or a protective sheath.

    摘要: There are arranged a sensor magnet fixed to a rotary shaft and configured to generate a magnetic field for detecting a rotation angle, and a plurality of sensors arranged so as to be opposed to the sensor magnet and each configured to output a sine signal and a cosine signal in accordance with the magnetic field. First and second sensors are arranged on two radial lines different from each other, respectively, out of three radial lines dividing a circumference about the rotary shaft of the sensor magnet into six equal parts. An angle calculation unit is configured to carry out calculation so that 3n-th (n is a natural number) order harmonic components out of odd-order harmonic components of each of the sine signal and the cosine signal output by the first and second sensors cancel one another, to thereby calculate the rotation angle.

    摘要: Embodiments relate to magnetic field angle sensors, including off-axis and on-axis sensors. In an embodiment, a magnetic field angle sensor comprises two sensor units, and each sensor unit comprises two sensor elements. The sensor units are spaced apart from one another and arranged proximate a magnet, wherein the two sensor elements of each sensor unit are responsive to the same magnetic field component induced by a magnet coupled to a shaft as the shaft rotates. In each sensor unit, a sum and a difference of the output signals of the two sensor elements can be calculated to determine a coarse estimation of a rotation angle, and a more refined estimation can be obtained by combining the coarse estimations of each sensor unit. In embodiment, the magnetic field angle sensor comprises a control unit or other circuitry to carry out this combining.
