Abstract: A surgical tracker and method of operating the same involve the surgical tracking including one or more tracking markers, a radio frequency (RF) transmitter, an infrared (IR) receiver, and a tracker controller coupled to the RF transmitter and the IR receiver. The tracker controller obtains sensor data and operates the IR receiver to wirelessly receive a command to manage an operating parameter of the surgical tracker with respect to RF communication. The tracker controller operates the RF transmitter to wirelessly transmit the sensor data using RF communication managed in accordance with the operating parameter.

Abstract: An amplification device includes a pulse signal acquisition part, a dummy signal generation part, a combination part, an amplifier and a separation part. The pulse signal acquisition part acquires a desired signal that is a pulse signal to be amplified. The dummy signal generation part generates a dummy signal. The combination part adds the dummy signal before and after the desired signal and outputs a composite signal. The amplifier amplifies the composite signal and outputs an amplified composite signal. The separation part extracts an amplified desired signal that is a signal resulting from amplification of the desired signal, from the amplified composite signal and outputs the amplified desired signal. Power of the composite signal is power that makes the amplification part operate nonlinearly.

Abstract: An electrocardiographic transmitter executes statistical processes for an electrocardiographic signal to calculate an average value HRav of a heart rate HR in a predetermined period of time. In a case where the average value HRav of the heart rate HR is abnormal, the electrocardiographic transmitter continuously transmits electrocardiogram data based on the electrocardiographic signal to a terminal. The terminal receives and transfers the electrocardiogram data as it is to a host device. The host device stores therein and supplies the transferred electrocardiogram data for a diagnosis by a medical worker. Thus, the state of a subject's heart can be monitored over the long term.

Abstract: A system and method of operating a trail camera assembly. A trail camera assembly comprises a camera casing, a camera configured to take a picture, and a controller connected to the motion sensor and the camera. The controller is configured to operate the trail camera assembly in a first operating mode. The controller is configured to determine whether a time threshold is satisfied, the time threshold being a time of day. The controller is configured to compare, in response to the time threshold being satisfied, ambient light detected by the trail camera assembly to an ambient light threshold, and transition, in response to the ambient light satisfying the ambient light threshold, to a second operating mode. When in the second operating mode, the controller takes a picture at set time intervals.
