Patent
Body-worn vital sign monitor
TL;DR: In this paper, a body-worn vital sign monitor that measures a patient's vital signs (e.g. blood pressure, SpO2, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature) while simultaneously characterizing their activity state (i.e. resting, walking, convulsing, falling) and posture (upright, supine).
Patent
Method and apparatus for estimating a motion parameter
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a system for estimating motion parameters corresponding to a user. But the system is not designed to estimate the motion of the user, only the direction of user motion.
Patent
Method and Apparatus for Adjusting Audio for a User Environment
Philippe Kahn,Arthur Kinsolving +1 more
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.
Patent
Body-worn monitor for measuring respiration rate
TL;DR: In this paper, an impedance pneumography (IP) sensor is connected to at least two electrodes, and a processing system that receives and processes signals from the electrodes to measure an IP signal.
Patent
Body-worn pulse oximeter
TL;DR: In this article, a body-worn system that continuously measures pulse oximetry and blood pressure, along with motion, posture, and activity level, from an ambulatory patient is presented.

Monitoring activity of a user in locomotion on foot
Jesse Darley,Thomas P. Blackadar +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used at least one device supported by a user while the user is in locomotion on foot during an outing to automatically measure amounts of time taken by the user to complete respective distance intervals.
Patent
Dead reckoning navigational system using accelerometer to measure foot impacts
Robert W. Levi,Thomas Judd +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a microcomputer assisted position finding system that integrates GPS data, dead reckoning sensors, and digital maps into a low-cost, self-contained navigation instrument is disclosed.
Patent
Pedestrian navigation method and apparatus operative in a dead reckoning mode
TL;DR: In this paper, a displacement of a pedestrian is determined from his or her accelerations by detecting accelerations which are substantially non vertical, determining a characteristic feature in the detected accelerations correlated with a step frequency, determining the displacement on the basis of said determined characteristic.
Patent
Navigation system, method and software for foot travel
TL;DR: In this paper, an inertial processing unit (430) coupled to one or more motion sensors (410) determines a first position estimate based on the corresponding signals from the motion sensors.
Patent
Portable position detector and position management system
TL;DR: In this article, a portable position detector and a position management system that is capable of accurately detecting the direction of a walking body even when GPS signals cannot be received (or without reception) and thereby enhancing the accuracy of the dead reckoned position of the walking body.
