TL;DR: It is hypothesized that a 20% decrease in cardiovascular Disease risk will lead to a significant decline in cardiovascular disease event rates in two treatment communities compared with three reference communities as a result of a six-year intervention program of community-wide health education and organization.
Abstract: The Stanford Five-City Project is a large experimental field study of community health education for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. It will provide data on fundamental questions in cardiovascular disease epidemiology, communication, health education, behavior change, and community organization, and will also test the ability of a potentially cost-effective program to prevent cardiovascular disease at the community level. This paper describes the purposes, hypotheses, design, and methods of the Five-City Project as a reference for future papers describing results. It is hypothesized that a 20% decrease in cardiovascular disease risk will lead to a significant decline in cardiovascular disease event rates in two treatment communities compared with three reference communities as a result of a six-year intervention program of community-wide health education and organization. Risk factor change will be assessed through four surveys of independent samples and in a repeatedly surveyed cohort. Cardiovascular disease event rates will be assessed through continuous community surveillance of fatal and nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke.

TL;DR: In this paper, a shoe based system employing sensors (e.g., accelerometers) is disclosed to determine and report speed and/or distance traveled of moving persons via a watch or MP3 player.
Abstract: Methods are disclosed for determining speed or distance traveled of moving persons by utilizing sensors selectively insertable within shoes. Shoe based systems employing sensors (e.g., accelerometers) are disclosed to determine and report (e.g., via a watch or MP3 player) speed and/or distance traveled.

21 Dec 2007TL;DR: In this article, the use of one or more proximity sensors in combination with touch sensors in a multi-touch panel to detect the presence of a finger, body part or other object and control or trigger a function in accordance with an image of touch provided by the sensor outputs is disclosed.
Abstract: The use of one or more proximity sensors in combination with one or more touch sensors in a multi-touch panel to detect the presence of a finger, body part or other object and control or trigger one or more functions in accordance with an “image” of touch provided by the sensor outputs is disclosed. In some embodiments, one or more infrared (IR) proximity sensors can be driven with a specific stimulation frequency and emit IR light from one or more areas, which can in some embodiments correspond to one or more multi-touch sensor “pixel” locations. The reflected IR signal, if any, can be demodulated using synchronous demodulation. In some embodiments, both physical interfaces (touch and proximity sensors) can be connected to analog channels in the same electrical core.

11 Sep 2009TL;DR: In this paper, a transimpedance amplifier is coupled to a feedback resistor coupled to an input of the Transformer and to an output of the transformer, and a bandpass filter coupled to the output of transformer is added to the feedback resistor.
Abstract: A controller for a touch sensor includes a transimpedance amplifier, and a feedback resistor coupled to an input of the transimpedance amplifier and to an output of the transimpedance amplifier. At least one multiplexor may be coupled to the input of the transimpedance amplifier and configured to multiplex a plurality of analog inputs to one dedicated channel. The controller may further include a bandpass filter coupled to the output of the transimpedance amplifier. The output of the bandpass filter may be input to an anti-aliasing filter, which feeds into an analog to digital converter. Alternatively, the output of the bandpass filter may be input to a sigma-delta analog to digital converter.

30 Sep 1994TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for searching images includes a low level analyzer for processing image data in a plurality of images into side information files, the image data of each side information file pertaining to a particular statistical or perceptual abstraction of the images, such as motion, color, texture, segments, and the like.
Abstract: A system and method for searching images includes a low level analyzer for processing image data in a plurality of images into side information files, the image data of each side information file pertaining to a particular statistical or perceptual abstraction of the images, such as motion, color, texture, segments, and the like. A user interface allows a user to graphically construct a search inquiry with icons representing image attributes corresponding to the image data in the side information files. A search inquiry may include complex boolean expressions, and custom image attributes may be created to represent useful search inquiries. The image attributes of a search inquiry may also be ranked. A high level analyzer parses a search inquiry to determine the image attributes contained therein, and analyzes the image data of the side information files to determine a similarity measure for each image with respect to the search inquiry. The high level analyzer orders retrieved images according to their similarity measures, and provides them to a image display controller for display. The user may designate selected images that are acceptable matches for the search inquiry. The high level analyzer will then redetermine the rankings and image attribute values, and either reorder previously retrieved images, or perform a new analysis of the image to retrieve a new set of matching images.
