Systems, devices, and methods that implement state machine models in wearable electronic devices are described. A wearable electronic device stores processor-executable gesture identification instructions that, when executed by an on-board processor, enable the wearable electronic device to identify one or more gesture(s) performed by a user. The wearable electronic device also stores processor-executable state determination instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the wearable electronic device to enter into and transition between various operational states depending on signals detected by on-board sensors. The state machine models described herein enable the wearable electronic devices to identify and automatically recover from operational errors, malfunctions, or crashes with minimal intervention from the user.

This invention provides a medication dispensing system that instructs the user through visual and audio cues, such as the illumination of individual medication cups that are arrayed in accordance with a daily and weekly schedule in separate orifices within the dispenser body. It monitors compliance by determining when an indicated cup is accessed, based upon at least one of manipulating a lid and / or placing into, removing from, or replacing into the correct orifice based upon the indication. The cups can be refilled based upon an indication, and / or can be provided in removable prefilled refill tray. The dispenser can include an on-board processor that stores a current configuration including the treatment schedule. The configuration can be programmed / re-programmed, and compliance can be monitored, via a wired or wireless server connection that communicates with interested parties, and that supports a graphical user interface. Communication, messaging and / or display systems can also be integrated.

A high security identification card includes an on-board memory for stored biometric data and an on-board sensor for capturing live biometric data. An on-board processor on the card performs a matching operation to verify that the captured biometric data matches the locally stored biometric data. Only if there is a positive match is any data transmitted from the card for additional verification and / or further processing. Preferably, the card is ISO SmartCard compatible. In one embodiment, the ISO SmartCard functions as a firewall for protecting the security processor used for storing and processing the protected biometric data from malicious external attack via the ISO SmartCard interface. In another embodiment, the security processor is inserted between the ISO SmartCard Interface and an unmodified ISO SmartCard processor and blocks any external communications until the user's fingerprint has been matched with a previously registered fingerprint. Real-time feedback is provided while the user is manipulating his finger over the fingerprint sensor, thereby facilitating an optimal placement of the finger over the sensor. The card may be used to enable communication with a transactional network or to obtain physical access into a secure area.

The invention discloses a device and a method for dynamically upgrading a complex programmable logic device (CPLD), wherein a service one-board processor acquires background CPLD version information from a remote background network management platform and compares the background CPLD version information with the version information of the CPLD operating in the single board and the working version information saved in an on-chip FLASH user data area; if the background CPLD version information is inconsistent with the version information of the CPLD operating in the single board and the working version information saved in the on-chip FLASH user data area, a version downloading process is carried out, the acquired background CPLD version file is written in an on-chip FLASH working version area of a CPLD chip, and the working version information of the user data area is updated; and a version loading module of a logic unit is upgraded on line, and the background CPLD version is acquired from the working version area for loaded according to a command for switching and loading the working version. The invention has simple circuit, only an on-chip FLASH of the CPLD is utilized, other tasks of the service processor can be normally executed in the on-line upgrading process, and version switching can be completed quickly.

A tracking system is described having at least two mobile transmitter / receivers (“transceivers”) which sense and respond to at least one tracking transceiver. The signals sent to and received from the mobile transceivers are analyzed to get a distance (range) that each is from the tracking transceiver. This can be converted into a position relative to the mobile transceivers. If there are enough transceivers, and at least one knows its absolute location, the absolute location of the mobile transceivers may be determined. Existing smartphones, cellphones, WI-FI® wireless standard routers, BLUETOOTH® wireless standard devices, and near-field devices that have on-board processors, can be modified to run executable code to implement the current invention. They may communicate using at least one of the modalities for tracking. These may be implemented in tracking the position and orientation of moving devices, such as a head-mounted display for virtual / Augmented Reality, automobiles, packages in a package delivery truck. The system may also be implemented to identify and keep track of the last known location of various objects.

A cable including an integrated intelligent cable module. The module preferably includes an integral instrument package. The instrument package may assume many forms and may serve many purposes. In a preferred embodiment, the module includes a position-determining system and an on-board processor. The processor determines a current location in space for the module based on the information it is receiving. This positional information may then be transmitted to an external receiver. The module also preferably includes load-monitoring and recording features. These features act as a “black box” for the cable, monitoring its performance and reporting (in real-time or at a later time) any exceedances or any deterioration in performance or structural integrity.

A system and method are disclosed for collecting and analyzing data in a cognitive fabric. The system can include a network of intelligent nodes, each node being configured for sharing or receiving data as a function of analytic processing to be performed at the node. Each node having an on-board processor to generate an object from shared data and the analytic processing software
