New Self-Sustained Multi-Sensor Platform for Environmental Monitoring

New Self-Sustained Multi-Sensor Platform for Environmental Monitoring

A recent study, affiliated with UNIST has engineered a self-sustaining sensor platform to continuously monitor the surrounding environment without having an external power source.

This research has been led by the team of Professor Jaehyouk Choi of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UNIST in collaboration with Professor Wonjoon Choi of Mechanical Engineering at Korea University. The findings,…

STMicroelectronics has released a turnkey sensor board that provides a sensing and connectivity hub for wearables, gaming accessories, smart home, and IoT devices. For the sensing part, the 13.5 x 13.5-mm SensorTile module contains a MEMS accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, pressure sensor, and MEMS microphone. Then there is a low-power STM32L4 microcontroller and a Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) transceiver that also includes a miniature single-chip balun. A broad set of system interface

Google acaba de inventar -y patentar- unos lentes de contacto con los que, por medio de variso sensores (de orientación, de temperatura, de luz), comandos de voz y algunos otros movimientos propios de esta nueva "interfase" (pestañeo, movimiento de iris) se pueden ya ejecutar varias funciones, relacionadas principalmente con la interacción entre varios dispositivos (crear/modificar documentos, activar opciones, operar computadoras, smartphones y otros aparatos electricos de audio/video). Hace poco, un experto en genética de Washington dijo que en el futuro, nuestros ojos van a aumentar su tamaño debido a este tipo de dispositivos. Supongo que esa línea de evolución comienza hoy... Con información revelada el día de ayer por el portal especializado patentbolt.com, los lentes de contacto de Google fueron registrados ante la USPTDO, lo que indica una apuesta total de esta empresa por la investigación y desarrollo de los famosos ‘accesorios tecnológicos’ (wearable devices). Aparentemente, estos nuevos lentes de contacto inteligentes, permitirán al usuario acceder a otros dispositivos mediante un parpadeo... Google Invents Multi-Sensor Contact Lenses

Google's invention generally relates to systems and methods for employing multiple sensors on a contact lens for detecting blinks and contact lens orientation.

According to Google, a mechanism is provided for detecting blinking of an eye via multiple sensors on or within the contact lens (hereinafter referred to as multi-sensor contact lens). For example, a multi-sensor contact lens can be placed in one or both eyes of a user that can actively determine (or infer) blinking of the eye.

In a non-limiting example, multi-sensor contact lens monitors sensors on or within the multi-sensor contact lens at intervals that are less than an average or shortest length of time of an eye blink. It is to be appreciated that both eyes of a human user generally blink at the same time, and thus in various embodiments only one multi-sensor contact lens is needed to generate a command to a remote device.

The patent filing notes that components on or within a contact lens can be of a shape, size, opacity, and/or positioned so as not to obstruct vision through an opening of a pupil of an eye when worn. Google's patent FIG. 1A noted below depicts a system #100 for detecting (or inferring) eye blinking or contact lens orientation using a multi-sensor contact lens: Control features of multi-sensor contact lens #110 can include issuing commands, adjusting content presentation, activating or deactivating options or components, or any other suitable functions... http://bit.ly/NQwwCi
