Abstract:
Aspects of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be implemented in a fall detection device and method. One or more motion sensors can access a user's acceleration data. The acceleration data can be segmented using a segmentation algorithm to identify a potential fall event. The segmentation algorithm can determine a cumulative sum of the acceleration data, where the cumulative sum is based on acceleration values being greater than or less than an acceleration threshold value, and a potential fall event can be identified where the cumulative sum is greater than a cumulative sum threshold value. Statistical features can be extracted from the segmented acceleration data and aggregated, and a determination can be made as to whether the potential fall event is a fall event based at least in part on the statistical features.
Abstract:
Aspects of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be implemented in an implant device capable of being configured by an external hospital interrogator device when the external hospital interrogator device is authenticated, and capable of communicating data regarding a patient when paired with an external home interrogator device. The implant device includes RF communications circuitry, one or more sensors configured to measure and/or collect data regarding the patient, and a control system. The control system is configured to receive instructions from the external hospital interrogator device for configuring the implant device when the external hospital interrogator device is authenticated, and receive identification data from the external hospital interrogator device for pairing the implant device with the external home interrogator device.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communication devices and methods configured to operate with multiple communication protocols in tune-away operations. Some aspects of the present disclosure may improve the legacy tune-away operations at an access terminal. An access terminal establishes a call utilizing a first communication protocol, tunes away from the call to receive cell signaling utilizing a second communication protocol, and tunes back to the call utilizing the first communication protocol. Following the tuning back, during a first predetermined number of subframes and if the size of a reverse link (RL) packet is smaller than a first packet size and larger than a second packet size, the access terminal forces the RL packet to be a low latency (LoLat) packet.
Abstract:
Mechanisms and techniques for managing energy consumption within an energy management system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the energy management system includes a power generator and a management controller that controls activation of a plurality of load devices. The management controller is communicatively coupled to a meter that measures electrical energy transferred between the energy management system and an external power grid. The management controller monitors, using information from the meter, electrical energy transfer between the energy management system and the external power grid and receives a feed-out limit message from the external power grid. The management controller processes the feed-out limit message and modifies activation scheduling of at least one of the plurality of load devices based, at least in part, on processing the feed-out limit message.

In one aspect, an apparatus for wireless communication comprises a processor configured to determine a time when the plurality of page bursts for the first radio access technology (RAT) will be received. The processor further configured to allocate a portion of time between page bursts for use by a second RAT.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for wireless communication include monitoring, by a user equipment, a signal quality value from at least one of a serving cell or a target cell. The methods and apparatus further include determining, at an expiration of an internal time to trigger (TTT) less than a network-configured TTT, that at least one of the signal quality value from the serving cell is below a serving cell threshold value, or the signal quality value from the target cell is above the signal quality of the serving cell by a comparative threshold value. Moreover, the methods and apparatus include triggering generation of a measurement report based on the determination.
