Method and apparatus for operator condition monitoring and assessment
InactiveUS7027621B1ConfidenceIncrease alertnessElectric devicesAutomatic initiationsBody regionCondition monitoring
A system using passive infrared imaging of the face and other body parts of an operator to obtain observables by automatically extracting features from a sequence of images, analyzing the extracted features, and then assessing the results for indicators of performance of a task by the operator in order to provide early warning of potential cognitive or motor impairment and thereby facilitate risk reduction and quality maintenance. The infrared condition monitoring system (IR-CMS) serves to a) assess cognitive and / or physical readiness to perform a particular task; b) provide condition assessment feedback to the subject and his appropriate supervisors; c) activate measures to increase short-term alertness and other readiness factors; d) limit potential risks by restricting the subject's access, responsibility, or authority; and e) facilitate rapid medical treatment, evacuation, quarantine, re-training, or counseling as appropriate. The same condition monitoring and assessment system can also be used during training and simulator exercises to evaluate personnel for assignment.

Positive wakeup pharmaceutical sleep system with compatible pre-bedtime administration
InactiveUS20050031688A1Fine stepsAvoid accidentsBiocideCarbohydrate active ingredientsDialysis membranesOral medication
A novel sleep regulating pharmaceutical formulation is introduced, typically implementing two principal drugs having actions which are reversive to one another, yet incorporated into a unitary solid dosage, and prepared for oral administration before bedtime. Usually, structure is configured to initially release a calmative or other sleep-compatible substance by prompt dissolution. The initial release is followed by a specific period of delay, which in basic formulations entails no release of any drug, and which allows a nominal interval of sleep. At the terminus of the delay, a final agent is released to induce wakeup. Incorporation of agents of opposite action within a unitary dosage form renders utility which is uniquely appropriate to the invention. In a preferred embodiment, delay of release and final delivery of wakeup agent are arranged by a dialysis membrane which eventually bursts as a result of osmotic pressure generated by a hydrophilic core.

Personalized lighting control
ActiveUS20140052220A1Reduced resourceIncrease quality of lightingLight therapySleep inducing/ending devicesLighting systemPersonalization
A lighting system for initiating change in a mammal's circadian or well-being state includes a computational unit configured to receive state information regarding the mammal's circadian or well-being state, and operational information from a light sensor with spectral and luminosity sensitivity. The computational unit is configured to compare the operational information with the state information, and on the basis of this comparison, the computational unit outputs a control signal to a light control unit which, in turn, adjusts a controllable light source to vary its light output so as to initiate the desired change in the mammal's circadian or well-being state.

Contact-center routing based on incentives and/or agent preferences
InactiveUS20060153356A1Increase alertnessHigh retention rateManual exchangesAutomatic exchangesContact centerType of service
A new routing protocol for routing service requests in a contact center is provided that takes into account agent preferences. Agents identify their preferences for handling particular types of service requests. The routing protocol takes account of those preferences while still routing calls in a systematic, coordinated and efficient manner. Additionally, management may communicate incentives dynamically to agents to incentivize agents to change their preferences in ways that corresponds to management priorities. Management may further influence routing by adjusting management preferences, which may be taken into account along with agent preferences when routing calls. By incorporating agent preferences in the routing scheme, agents are given more control over their work, thus tending to increase job satisfaction and therefore agent retention and contact-center performance.
