A device and method for motivating a person to start and maintain an exercise routine. A handheld electronic device is provided that includes a display. The electronic device randomly selects times that exercise should be performed. At those times, a person is prompted to select a type of exercise that is appropriate for the location and circumstances that person finds him/herself. After selecting the appropriate type of exercises, the selected exercises are portrayed on the display of the device. The device also sets a time frame in which the various exercises are to be completed and motivates a person to perform the exercises within that time frame. At the end of the time period, the device prompts the user as to whether or not the various exercises were performed in the given time period. A fitness report is then displayed showing improved or declining fitness.

Apparatus for monitoring structural health conditions of structures. The apparatus includes a piezoelectric device that has a bottom cover plate, piezoelectric rings concentrically disposed with respect to an axis and positioned on the bottom cover plate, and concentric filler rings made from an electrically insulating material. Each of the piezoelectric rings is interposed between two adjacent filler rings. The piezoelectric device also includes electrical connection means for communicating electrical signals to the piezoelectric rings and a top cover plate that is positioned over the piezoelectric rings and filler rings. The electrical connection means are operative to transmit electrical signals that cause one or more of the piezoelectric rings to generate waves or transmit electrical signals developed by one or more of the piezoelectric rings in response to the waves.

The invention discloses a storage battery detector and a vehicle-mounted network system for an intelligent automobile. The storage battery detector of the intelligent automobile comprises an input terminal, a current sensor, a temperature sensor, a charging and discharging current detection circuit, a voltage detection circuit, a temperature detection circuit, a microprocessor and a bus communication module, wherein the input terminal is partitioned into two paths; one path is connected with the current sensor; the current sensor is connected with the charging and discharging current detection circuit; the other path is connected with the voltage detection circuit; the temperature sensor is connected with the temperature detection circuit; the charging and discharging current detection circuit, the voltage detection circuit and the temperature detection circuit are connected with the microprocessor; and the microprocessor is connected with the bus communication module. The storage battery detector for the intelligent automobile is used for monitoring the insufficient voltage status of a storage battery, the charging status health condition and the like, and can be connected to the vehicle-mounted network system for protecting the insufficient voltage status of the storage battery, so that the service life of the storage battery is prolonged.

The invention discloses a health analysis method for operation and maintenance management, and the method comprises the steps: merging the collected real-time condition information, and storing the collected real-time condition information, so as to form historical data; calculating and obtaining a data curve-health operation base line of a management target index changing with time according to the historical data; taking the base line as the center, and setting a reasonable fluctuation range-upper and lower threshold values of the index data; judging the state to be normal if the management object index data fluctuates between the upper and lower threshold values, or else, judging the state to be an off normal state; judging the health trend of an operation and maintenance management system through counting the off normal frequency, collecting the operation data of each monitoring point, comparing the operation data with the health standard in a time period, obtaining a deviation value of health conditions, and triggering the processing if the deviation value exceeds an allowed range. The method can obtain the operation health trend of the system, finds the symptom of a problem, gives a prompt, takes preventive measures, and improves the quality and efficiency of operation and maintenance management.

A new method and apparatus is provided for as a wearable, self-contained, non-invasive device for the instantaneous measurement of blood glucose in an individual. This invention uses the measurement and comparison of ultrasound wave velocities to determine the instant value of glucose concentration in the individual. In particular, it uses ultrasound waveforms in the “A” operational mode, depth determination, rather than typical imaging operational modes. Two distinct and different ultrasound frequencies are transmitted into the body and their total propagation times, from insert to bone-reflected echo return signal, are timed to calculate the signal dependent velocities affected by glucose. It is applicable to all forms of human body conditions, regardless of size, weight, age or health condition. It can be adapted for use in a closed loop system for insulin delivery on an “as-needed basis.”
