20130204152 | NEUROLOGICALLY BASED NON-INVASIVE BLOOD GLUCOSE CONCENTRATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A non-invasive blood glucose concentration sensing system and method includes sensing neurophysiological brain activity of the user during visual pigment regeneration in an eye of the user, and correlating the sensed neurophysiological brain activity to the glucose concentration in the blood of the user. | 08-08-2013 |
20130249809 | TOUCH SCREEN DISPLAY USER INTERFACE AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING TOUCH INTERFACE UTILITY ON THE SAME EMPLOYING A RULES-BASED MASKING SYSTEM - Disclosed are methods and systems for improving touch utility on a touch screen display user interface providing a rule-based mask that enables or limits a function in a way that allows a user or developer to enhance precision or efficiency of input, or to create a unique modality of input. A method of touch-based user interaction with a touch screen device includes providing a virtual mask overlaying one or more of a plurality of virtual objects on the touch screen device and defining a mask area, sensing a touch within the mask area, the touch generating a touch data signal, and applying one or more combination of interaction, graphical rendering and/or visual feedback rules to the touch data signal and graphical objects. The interaction, graphical rendering and visual feedback rules can exist individually or in combination. | 09-26-2013 |
20140164983 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERACTING WITH A TOUCH SCREEN INTERFACE UTILIZING AN INTELLIGENT STENCIL MASK - A system and method are provided for employing an intelligent stencil mask to interact with a touch screen interface and thereby reduce the probability of accidental control function activation. A touch screen interface onboard an aircraft is coupled to a processor and is configured to generate a first virtual mask having a first region and a second region. A user interaction is then detected with one of the first region and the second region. A first reconfigured virtual mask is generated if the user interacted with the second region. However, an aircraft control function is activated if the user interacted with the first region. | 06-12-2014 |
20140240242 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERACTING WITH A TOUCH SCREEN INTERFACE UTILIZING A HOVER GESTURE CONTROLLER - A system and method are provided for employing a hover gesture controller to reduce inadvertent interactions with a touch screen. The hover gesture controller recognizes the user's interaction intentionality before physical contact is made with the touch screen. This reduces inadvertent user interactions and offloads a portion of computation cost involved in post touch intentionality reorganization. The hover gesture controller utilizes a touch screen interface onboard an aircraft coupled to a processor and configured to (a) detect a weighted hover interaction; and (b) compare the weighted hover interaction to a threshold value to determine if a subsequent touch is acceptable. | 08-28-2014 |
20150141763 | NON-INVASIVE BLOOD GLUCOSE CONCENTRATION SENSING USING LIGHT MODULATION - A non-invasive blood glucose concentration sensing system and method includes emitting light of a first color into an eye of the user and then emitting light of a second color into the eye of the user, or flashing blue light into the eye of the user. Neurophysiological brain activity and electrical responses of the eye of the user are sensed during and after emitting or flashing of the light into the eye of the user. In a processor, one or both of the sensed neurophysiological brain activity and the sensed electrical responses of the eye are correlated to the glucose concentration in the blood of the user. | 05-21-2015 |
