A method for monitoring and reporting sound pressure level exposure for a user of a first communication device () is implemented in one embodiment when the device measures a sound pressure level (SPL) of the surrounding environment. The device stores at least the SPL measurement in a memory, producing an SPL exposure record, and displays a visual representation of the SPL exposure record on a display screen (). In another embodiment, the SPL is measured by a second communication device () and combined with a known SPL for an output audio transducer () of the second device, producing a user sound exposure level. The user sound exposure level is transmitted to the first communication device. The user is notified when the user sound exposure level exceeds a predetermined threshold. A server () may also be used to track SPLs over time and recommend corrective action when exposure limits are exceeded.

Method for autonomously monitoring and reporting sound pressure level (SPL) exposure for a user of a communication device

Biometric sensors such as electromyographic sensorsA andB sense muscle flexing. The resultant signals are sensedand utilized to establisha corresponding angle of movement and to establishmagnitude of movement for an on-screen display indicator such as an on-screen cursorIn one embodiment, the electromyographic sensor signals are shifted and scaledWireless transmissions can be utilized to increase portability of the sensor interface.

Method and apparatus for biometric control of display indicator

Brain response signals of a user, such as electroencephalogram signals, and in particular visually evoked potential signals that correspond to predetermined illumination patterns, are detected and utilized to ascertain selection of specific functions and/or actions as desired by that user. Sources of illumination that exhibit such patterns are arranged to physically correspond to indicia of such functions and actions to facilitate knowing selection thereof.

Brain response monitoring apparatus and method

A wireless biopotential sensor includes an adhesive strip having a lower surface for placement against the skin of a patient and an upper surface. A pair of conductive electrodes are applied to the lower surface of the adhesive strip. A sensor substrate is applied to the upper surface. The sensor substrate includes first and second conductive contact pads that are placed in registry with the pair of conductive electrodes, with the contact pads arranged in electrical contact with the conductive electrodes. An electronics module is applied to the sensor substrate and arranged in electrical contact with the contact pads. The electronics module comprises a power supply and electronics for generating a wireless signal containing biopotential signals detected by the pair of conductive electrodes.
