20160070393 | WEARABLE DEVICES INCLUDING METALIZED INTERFACES AND STRAP-INTEGRATED SENSOR ELECTRODES - Embodiments relate generally to electrical and electronic hardware, computer software, wired and wireless network communications, and computing devices, and, in particular, to a wearable device implementing a touch-sensitive interface in a metal pod cover and/or bioimpedance sensing to determine physiological characteristics, such as heart rate. According to an embodiment, a wearable device includes a selectably opaque surface configured to emit arrangements of light to form a display, and a touch-sensitive I/O control circuit coupled to the selectably opaque surface to detect a capacitance value as an input signal to modify the display. Also, the wearable device can include one or more straps coupled to a wearable pod, at least one of the one or more straps including electrodes for sensing a physiological characteristic. A display controller can be configured to display a representation as a function of a value of the physiological characteristic via the selectably opaque surface. | 03-10-2016 |

20080222117 | EFFICIENT MULTIFACETED SEARCH IN INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEMS - A method and system for querying multifaceted information. An inverted index is constructed to include unique indexed tokens associated with posting lists of one or more documents. An indexed token is either a facet token included in a document as an annotation or a path prefix of the facet token. The annotation indicates a path within a tree structure representing a facet that includes the document. The tree structure includes nodes representing categories of documents. A query is received that includes constraints on documents. The constraints are associated with indexed tokens and corresponding posting lists. An execution of the query includes identifying the corresponding posting lists by utilizing the constraints and the inverted index and intersecting the posting lists to obtain a query result. | 09-11-2008 |
20090327271 | Information Retrieval with Unified Search Using Multiple Facets - Information retrieval with unified search between heterogeneous objects is described. The method includes: indexing a first object as a document in a search index; referencing a second object related to the first object in a facet of the document; and storing a relationship strength between the first and second objects in the facet of the document in the search index. Multiple heterogeneous objects can be related to the first object and referenced in multiple facets of the document, each with its relationship strength to the first object. Scoring an indirect object by indirect relation to a query object can be carried out by aggregating the relationship strengths between the indirect object and the retrieved objects multiplied by the retrieved objects' direct scores of relationship strength to the query object. | 12-31-2009 |

20140165724 | BISTABLE FORCE AND/OR ACCELERATION SENSOR - A technique is provided for determining a force/acceleration acting on a proof mass of a bistable device. According to an aspect of the invention, the location of a boundary of one of the stable configurations of the device is monitored. The monitored location is compared to a predetermined location of the same boundary, said predetermined location corresponding to a condition in which the force/acceleration is absent, to detect a deviation of said location. The deviation is indicative of the force/acceleration and can be used to determine the force/acceleration. According to another aspect of the invention, the resonance frequency of the proof mass' oscillation in one of the stable regions is monitored, and compared to a predetermined resonance frequency the proof mass' oscillation in the same region corresponding to a condition in which the force/acceleration is absent, to determine a deviation of the resonance frequency due to the presence of force/acceleration. The deviation in the resonance frequency can be used to determine the force/acceleration. | 06-19-2014 |
