TL;DR: In this paper, a rule-based methodology is described which supports automatic mapping of data fields between different data sets in a data processing environment, where the rules are ordered in descending preference according to the likelihood that a given rule will correctly identify a field.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define a user environment based on detected motion data and/or ambient noise data, which is then used to apply an appropriate audio adjustment mode and further include location data.

TL;DR: In this article, a method of monitoring human activity includes monitoring accelerations using an inertial sensor disposed at one of a plurality of locations on a human body, wherein at least one of the plurality locations is not a foot location.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for monitoring human activity using an inertial sensor includes continuously determining an orientation of the sensor, assigning a dominant axis, updating the dominant axis as the orientation changes, and counting periodic human motions by monitoring accelerations relative to the sensor's dominant axis.

TL;DR: In this paper, an accelerometer and a temperature sensor are combined with a power management system to move the body-worn device into a low power state when not being worn, based on a combination of sensor data.
