An orthodontic system and method for moving and aligning at least one tooth of a set of teeth of at least one of an upper jaw and a lower jaw of a patient. In the system and method an orthodontic appliance can be provided which may include a force exerting member for applying a force to and moving the at least one tooth, a tooth movement sensor member for obtaining at least one of tooth movement data, tooth position data, and tooth identification data, and a tooth movement monitor for calculating at least one of an amount of tooth movement and tooth position from the at least one of the tooth movement data, the tooth position data, and the tooth identification data obtained with the tooth movement sensor arrangement. An electronic control console may be operatively connected to the force exerting member and in data communication with the tooth movement monitor, for controlling the operation of the force exerting member based on the at least one of the tooth movement data, the tooth position data, and the tooth identification data received from the tooth movement monitor.
摘要:
A patient monitoring system, network and method thereof comprising: a control unit (9); a memory, the memory storing predetermined movement data comprising : first movement data which is indicative of a safe condition and/or second movement data which is indicative of an unsafe condition; at least one movement sensor (12) which provides an output signal to the control unit (9), wherein the control unit (9) processes the output signal and generates sensed movement data and compares the sensed movement data with the predetermined movement data and generates an alert signal (14) to indicate an unsafe condition if the sensed movement data does not match at least part of the first movement data and/or the sensed movement data matches at least part of the second movement data. In another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of calibrating a sensor.
摘要:
A system for diagnosing a patient's joint disorder. A patient is fitted with a body suit, which can comprise one or more straps, sleeves, or the like. Sensors in the suit are placed around a problematic joint. The patient executes a number of selected ranges of motion, or tests and transmits signals indicative of pain level at different positions. A computer system receives the captured motion data and pain data and compares same to stored data sets. The stored data sets may comprise other motion data and/or pain data from the patient being examined, or captured data from other patients. The stored data sets can also be tagged with, or otherwise associated with, a diagnosis, model can be formed with respect to the patient's captured motion and pain information. A probable diagnosis of the joint disorder, effectiveness of the patient's treatment regimen, and disorder progression can be ascertained.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for extracting a breathing rate estimate from video images of a respiring subject. Signals corresponding to the spatial coordinates of feature points tracked through the video sequence are filtered and excessively large changes are attenuated to reduce movement artefacts. The signals are differentiated and signals which correlate most strongly with other signals are selected. The selected signals are subject to principal component analysis and the best quality of the top five principal components is selected and its frequency is used to calculate and output a breathing rate estimate. The method is particularly suitable for detecting respiration in subject in secure rooms where the video image is of substantially the whole room and the subject is only a small part of the image, and maybe covered or uncovered.

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Klassieren von Augenöffnungsdaten (208) zumindest eines Auges (202, 242) eines Insassen (104) eines Fahrzeugs für eine Schläfrigkeitserfassung und/oder Sekundenschlaferfassung des Insassen (104). Das Verfahren umfasst einen Schritt des Generierens eines ersten Augenöffnungsdatensatzes (220) zu einem ersten Messzeitpunkt in einem gleitenden Zeitfenster, wobei der erste Augenöffnungsdatensatz (220) zumindest einen Messpunkt (222) aufweist, der einen ersten Augenöffnungsgrad und/oder eine erste Augenlidbewegungsgeschwindigkeit und/oder eine erste Augenlidbewegungsbeschleunigung des Auges (202, 242) des Insassen (104) in dem ersten Messzeitpunkt repräsentiert, einen Schritt des Erfassens eines zweiten Augenöffnungsdatensatzes (228) zu einem zweiten Messzeitpunkt in dem gleitenden Zeitfenster, wobei der zweite Augenöffnungsdatensatz (228) zumindest einen Erfassungspunkt (230) aufweist, der einen zweiten Augenöffnungsgrad und/oder eine zweite Augenlidbewegungsgeschwindigkeit und/oder eine zweite Augenlidbewegungsbeschleunigung des Auges (202, 242) des Insassen (104) in dem zweiten Messzeitpunkt repräsentiert, und einen Schritt des Ausführens einer Clusteranalyse unter Verwendung des zumindest einen Messpunktes (222) und des zumindest einen Erfassungspunktes (230), um zumindest den ersten Augenöffnungsdatensatz (220) und/oder zweiten Augenöffnungsdatensatz (228) einem ersten Datencluster (236) zuzuordnen, um die Augenöffnungsdaten (208) zu klassieren, wobei der erste Datencluster (236) einen Öffnungszustand des Auges (202, 242) des Insassen (104) repräsentiert.
摘要:
Provided are mechanisms and processes for more effectively monitoring infants to enhance caregiving and infant development. In one example, a platform receives measurement data from numerous infant monitoring systems corresponding to different infants in disparate locations and having different ages and developmental levels. Each of the infant monitoring systems includes an infant monitoring device and an infant monitoring hub. The platform analyzes the measurement data to generate a developmental model reflecting a range of characteristics corresponding to the numerous infants. The developmental model, which is customizable for individual infants, is sent to a first infant monitoring system.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an ultrasound apparatus (10) for determining a medical condition of a subject (12), comprising: an ultrasound acquisition unit (14) for receiving ultrasound waves (23) from the subject and for providing an ultrasound signal (24) corresponding to articulatory movements of the subject. A processing unit (26) is coupled to the ultrasound acquisition unit for determining a frequency change of the ultrasound signal. An evaluation module (32) evaluates the ultrasound signal and determines the medical condition of the subject on the basis of the frequency change of the ultrasound signal.
