• WO04/029786, US 10/529023 & EP 1550025, Control of Robotic Manipulation (In a remote controlled robotic manipulator a motion sensor senses motion of a region of an object to be manipulated. A controller locks motion of the robotic manipulator relative to the region of the object and also selects the region of the object to be sensed. The frame of reference of the manipulator is locked relative to the relevant region of the object to be manipulated, improving ease of control and manipulation).
• WO06/000789 & EP 05755129.3, Method of correlating internal tissue movement (Internal tissue movement is correlated with the external body surface movement by tracking external surface movement at a plurality of surface points, simultaneously imaging internal tissue movement and correlating the external and internal movement using partial least squares regression to obtain a correlation model. In subsequent techniques, internal tissue movement can be predicted from measured external surface movement using the correlation model).
• WO07/026130, Bayesian feature selection (A method of feature selection applicable to both forward selection and backward elimination of features. The algorithm selects features to be used as an input for a classifier. Exemplary applications are in homecare or patient modelling, body sensor networks, environmental monitoring, image processing and questionnaire design).
• PCT/GB06/000948 & WO06/097734, Spatial temporal self-organising maps (The invention is an algorithm for a two-layer Self Organising Map designed to utilise both the spatial and temporal changes of a sensor signal so as to enhance classification capabilities).
• PCT/GB07/000358 & WO07/088374, Gait analysis (A method of analysing gait including measuring a signal representative of acceleration of the head of a subject and applying a transform to the measured signal to compute a gait signature. The signature can be derived from the acceleration signal using a number of techniques and the signature may be analysed in a number of ways including calculating its entropy, using it as an input to a spatio-temporal self organising maps).
• GB 0705033.9, PPG sensor (Reflectance based PPG e-AR sensor design for pervasive monitoring. The sensor is wearable behind a subject’s ear and detects radiation reflected from the cranial surface of the auricula, the adjacent temporal scalp. Multiple detectors and a selection algorithm allow a quality measure to be calculated for each PPG signal from the respective detectors and the best one selected based on this quality measure. The device derives a heart rate signal from the selected detector thereby accounting for variations in the anatomy between subjects).
