Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to electrical and electronic hardware, computer software, wired and wireless network communications, and wearable computing devices in capturing and deriving physiological characteristic data. More specifically, an array of electrodes and methods are configured to determine physiological characteristics using a wearable device (or carried device) that may be subject to motion. In one embodiment, an array of electrodes is disposed substantially in a wearable housing. At least a portion of the array including electrodes configured to either drive a first signal to a target location or receive a second signal from the target location. The second signal includes data representing one or more physiological characteristics. A sensor selector is configured to identify a subset of the electrodes adjacent to the target location and to select the subset of the electrodes from which to receive a sensor signal that includes data representing one or more physiological characteristics.

Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to electrical and electronic hardware, computer software, wired and wireless network communications, and wearable/mobile computing devices configured to facilitate health and wellness monitoring and maintenance. More specifically, disclosed are systems, components and methods to detect physiological characteristics, such as heart rate, of an organism in real-time based on components of light. In various embodiments, a method can include receiving color channel signals including imagery data generated by, for example, an image capture device. A linear combination of the color channel signals can form a combined color channel signal. The method also can include transforming continuously the combined color channel signal to establish local maxima associated with multiple scales. Further, portions of time associated with the local maxima can be identified and data signal representing a physiological characteristic can be generated. A local maximum can indicate the presence of enhanced blood volume adjacent a tissue surface.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate generally to electrical and electronic hardware, computer software, wired and wireless network communications, and computing devices. More specifically, the embodiments related to structures and techniques for implementing multiple logical representations of audio functions in a wireless audio transmitter, such as a USB dongle configured to transmit and to receive audio data wirelessly via, for example, a Bluetooth link. In one embodiment, a wireless USB audio transceiver can include a multiple mode transmitter configured transmit wireless signals at multiple data rates. Further, the wireless USB audio transceiver can include a first data path modeled as a first audio function, and a second data path modeled as a second audio function. Also, included is a signal detector configured to determine the presence of the audio data on a data path for modifying transmission data rates as a function of the presence of the audio data.

Abstract: A light-based skin contact detector is described, including a boot having an index of refraction less than or equal to another index of refraction associated with skin at a frequency of light, a light emitter and detector coupled to the boot and configured to measure an amount of light energy reflected by an interface of the boot, and a digital signal processor configured to detect a change in the amount of light energy reflected by the interface. Embodiments relate to methods for detecting skin contact by measuring an amount of energy reflected by an interface when a boot is not in contact with skin, measuring another amount of energy reflected by another interface when the boot is in contact with the skin, and detecting a change between the amount of energy and the another amount of energy using a digital signal processor.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, devices, and methods for wireless communications. An antenna in which nulls or directions of reduced performance can be selectively introduced is provided, and the performance of a communication link to a wireless communication device is monitored. By correlating the selectively reduced sensitivity of the antenna with reductions in the communication link performance, the direction of the wireless communication device may be estimated. Embodiments of the present invention may be used in numerous applications, such as cell phones, PDA's, and laptops.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, devices, and methods for wireless communications are disclosed. A detection system is used to detect a usage mode or orientation of a wireless communication device. The usage mode or orientation is used to vary the radiation pattern of the antenna of the wireless communication device. By varying the radiation pattern based on the usage mode or orientation, battery life and the quality of transmission and reception can be increased, while the size and cost of the device can be reduced. Embodiments of the invention may be used in numerous applications, such as mobile phones, PDA's, and laptops.

Abstract: Various embodiments relate to signal processing and, more particularly, to processing of received speech signals to preserve and enhance speech intelligibility. In one embodiment, a communications apparatus includes a receiving path over which received speech signals traverse in an audio stream, and an dynamic audio enhancement device disposed in the receiving path. The dynamic audio enhancement ("DAE") device is configured to modify an amount of volume and an amount of equalization of the audio stream. The DAE device can include a noise level estimator ("NLE") configured to generate a signal representing a noise level estimate. The noise level estimator can include a non-stationary noise detector and a stationary noise detector. The noise level estimator can be configured to generate the signal representing a first noise level estimate based on detection of the non-stationary noise or a second noise level estimate based on detection of the stationary noise.

Abstract: Determinative processes for wearable devices are described, including receiving data associated with an event, the data being transformed from an input received using a sensor in data communication with a wearable device, evaluating the data to determine a state associated with the wearable device, and generating a recommendation based on the state, the recommendation being presented at a user interface while the wearable device is being used.
