Abstract:
Breathing guide for guiding the breathing of a user, provided with a heart beat sensor configured to convert a human or animal heart beat into heart beat signals, a storage arrangement configured to store an algorithm, a processing circuit configured to process heart beat signals and breathing guidance signals, a user interface configured to indicate a breathing guidance signal, and an algorithm configured to convert the heart beat signals into breathing guidance signals and to synchronize the breathing guidance signals with the processed heart rate signals for the purpose of guiding the user towards an improved heart coherence.
Abstract:
The result of the progressing wireless communication is that the only remaining cable to many devices is the power cable. In this invention disclosure, it is proposed to remove the power cable and to use a battery in combination with a recharging robot. A single robot can be used for many devices, since each device can indicate when its battery is low on power. The recharging robot does not need to be a dedicated robot; the recharging functionality can be integrated in e.g. existing vacuum cleaner robots. Completely cable-less devices and lights do not only eliminate the awful sight of the cables, but furthermore enable the user a larger degree of freedom to place the device where he or she wants, and not where the power outlets of the walls permit.

Abstract:
The invention relates to powering of an electric circuit (110, 206), and in particular to powering of the electric circuit using mechanical impact or sudden mechanical shock. A device, system and method are disclosed where mechanical impact is converted into electrical energy. In order e.g. to decrease complexity and increase the efficiency of how to provide energy for e.g. portable devices and to increase the amount of energy provided with alternative energy sources such as mechanical impact, a device, system and method using certain shapes, construction and method is provided using a first material (104, 112) and a piezoelectric material (106). In particular, e.g. at least a part of a surface (116) of the device is an impact part suited for a mechanical impact from which the piezoelectric material (106) generates electrical energy. The invention is particularly suited for a ball (102) or electronic systems like a mobile phone (202).

Abstract:
In a multi-player computer game, a physical quantity is sensed that is representative of a physiological state of a player. Another player is enabled to receive an indication representative of the physiological state as sensed so as to take advantage of this additional piece of information while playing the game. Preferably, a contactless sensor is being used in order to minimize interference with the user’s sense of immersion.
