Abstract:
An apparatus and method wherein the apparatus comprises: a graphene field effect transistor comprising quantum dots (7) coupled to a graphene channel (5); wherein the graphene field effect transistor is configured to be illuminated by a pulse of electromagnetic radiation (9) and configured to be exposed to a sample (11) such that an output provided by the graphene field effect transistor, in response to the pulse of electromagnetic radiation, is dependent upon at least one analyte within the sample.
Abstract:
An approach is provided for sensor information classification. A classification platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of sensor information to determine one or more patterns indicated by the sensor information (401). The classification platform causes, at least in part, a generation of at least one representation of the one or more patterns (403, 405, 407, 409), and a presentation of the at least one representation. The presentation includes, at least in part, a request to label the one or more patterns (413), to repeat the one or more patterns, or a combination thereof. The classification platform then causes, at least in part, a classification of the one or more patterns into one or more new classes based, at least in part, on one or more response inputs received in response to the request (415, 417).
Abstract:
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for determining an intimate activity has occurred based on data collected with a radar detection device. Data relating to sleep patterns, such as of a sleep study participant, may be collected with a radar detection device in close proximity to a bed or other reference point. The data may be processed to determine occurrence of intimate activities, based on detected movements and/or positions of body profiles relative to each other and/or to a common reference point. The data corresponding to intimate activities may therefore be appropriately processed, such as by being excluded from the sleep record data to provide privacy to a user.
Abstract:
According to an example aspect of the present invention,there is provided an apparatus comprising at least one memory configured to store positioning information, and at least one processing core configured to determine a position estimate for the apparatus based at least in part on the positioning information and on at least one direction of a steerable optical beam, the steerable optical beam being steerable by the apparatus.
Abstract:
A wearable apparatus (127) comprising a waveguide (102) configured to act as a conduit for light emitted from an illumination source (104) to a photodetector (105) via an interaction portion (1 12) of the waveguide, the interaction portion configured to channel the light out of the waveguide to enable interaction of the light with a wearer's body (101 ) and back into the waveguide to enable detection of the interacted light by the photodetector.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for determining stress recovery based on chest and abdominal breathing information from a detection device such as a radar detection device. Stress recovery may be determined by monitoring a phase difference between chest and abdominal breathing relative to a stress indicator, such as heart rate variability. Target respiration information may be determined and/or calibrated for the particular user based on the stress indicator. Breathing exercises may be provided to the user to assist in steadying their breathing and recovering from stress. Based on the monitoring of the chest and abdominal breathing information, efficacy of the breathing exercise may then be determined based on whether the user is recovering from stress, and further feedback may be provided to the user.
Abstract:
A mouthpiece, comprising at least one inlet configured to allow oral fluid from a user's oral cavity to travel into the mouthpiece; and a reservoir comprising one or more chambers, the reservoir configured to store oral fluid received from the user's oral cavity through the at least one inlet, wherein the mouthpiece is configured to be contained substantially within the user's oral cavity during the collection of oral fluid.

Abstract:
According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus comprising at least one processing core, at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processing core, cause the apparatus at least to determine a placement of the apparatus with respect to a user, determine a confidence level of the determination of the placement, and based at least in part on the placement and the confidence level, select either a classifier specific to the placement or a general classifier. Calibrated and/or uncalibrated sensor information may be used in phases of implementing the invention.
