A mobile device includes an air conduction microphone and an alternative sensor that provides an alternative sensor signal indicative of speech. A communication interface permits the mobile device to communicate directly with other mobile devices.

A computer based process for providing a visually impaired subject with multi-modal (local, remote, human-aided, computer-aided), multi-sensory (hearing, touch), information about the subject's physical environment is disclosed, involving identifying at least one guide; identifying at least one subject; establishing a communication connection between the guide and the subject; capturing information about the at least one subject's physical environment; presenting the information about the at least one subject's physical environment to the at least one guide; capturing the guide's response to the at least one subject's physical environment; and communicating the guide's response to the at least one subject. The system may involve a guide computer, a user mounted information collection system for receiving visual signals, audio input signals, and a user mounted information dispensing system for dispensing a haptic signal and an audio output signal. A bi-directional communication system operably linked between the computer, the information collection system, and the information dispensing system enables the computer to receive visual and audio signals from the user and communicates audio output signals from the guide to the user.

An absorbent article including features facilitating toilet training of a wearer is disclosed. In particular, the absorbent articles may have one or several of a variety of multi-functional training features. These features include features designed to facility ease of application and removal of the garment such as informational graphics or slow recovery elasticized features. Other features may be designed to provide training feedback to a wearer upon a urination incident or upon remaining dry for a period of time. These features may be employed in combination in a multi-functional article to provide both multi-sensory feedback and ease of application and removal features.

In some implementations a non-transitory storage device having a multi-sensory-recognition engine stored thereon is coupled to a microcontroller, a device-controller for an electrical device that is wirelessly coupled to the microcontroller, and at least one of a plurality of sensors is operably coupled to the microcontroller.

An electronic learning/teaching device operates with and without a printed sheet element having an arrangement of selectable content by means of a user responsive sensor array beneath a surface configured to receive the element. The sensor array is formed by cross-points of two sets of crossing conductive lines, one set being driven sequentially with a radio frequency square wave and the other set being sampled sequentially though a high impedance amplifier connection with an asynchronous detection circuit. Where more than one cross-point location is user activated, algorithms are used to identify one cross-point sensor location as the user activated selection.

An interactive computer based system and method for multi-sensory learning to teach students to read, to write, to improve their fluency, and to improve their reading comprehension. The multi-sensory system combines phonics and reading comprehension to teach students how to decode the alphabet and understand what they read. The multi-sensory system can be individually customized and tailored to meet needs of an individual student.

Various systems and methods for introducing multi-sensory stimuli to a participant and/or evaluating a participant's reaction to a delivered stimuli. As just one example, an embodiment of the present invention includes a trochoidal movement table, a light emitting visual display, an audio device and a controller. The controller includes a processor and a computer readable medium, and the controller is coupled to the trochoidal movement table and the light emitting display. The controller is operable to receive a sensory program from a remote server and to store the sensory program to the computer readable medium. The sensory program includes instructions executable by the processor to cause the trochoidal movement table to move in one of at least two selectable directions, and to cause the light emitting visual display to emit a visual stimulus.

A system for improving a breathing pattern with an interactive multi-sensory approach is provided. The system includes a breathing condition detector and a processor, for guiding a user to learn a suitable breathing pattern. The breathing condition detector attached to the user, is adapted to detect a breathing condition according to a natural expansion or a natural shrinkage of a body of the user. The breathing condition at least includes a breathing mode (breast breathing or belly breathing), breathing rate, and breathing depth. The processor displays a relative breathing condition picture reflecting the detected breathing condition detected by the breathing condition detector on a monitor. As such, the user can understand the practical breathing condition by viewing the breathing condition picture, so as to be instructed to learn to use a breathing pattern suitable for him.

An electronic learning device configured to receive in a predetermined orientation a book having an arrangement of selectable mode icons, selectable content and a page identifier. Non-volatile memory in the electronic learning device has instructions associated with each mode icon, and data associated with the selectable content. A controller is in electrical communication with a page identification sensor and a position sensor for detecting the presence of a selector. The controller is configured a) to operate in accordance with instructions associated with each mode icon, b) to determine the position of the selector when the selector is within the active range of the position sensor, c) to recognize the page identifier, and a selection by the selector of one of the selectable mode icons, the selectable indicia or the selectable content and d) to send to the electronic user interface a signal associated with the selection.

The invention provides a multi-sensory human-simulated five-finger dexterous hand and belongs to the technical field of robots. The multi-sensory human-simulated five-finger dexterous hand is composed of a palm, a thumb, an index finger, a middle finger, a ring finger, a little finger and multiple sensors, wherein the index finger and the middle finger are of the same structure, and the ring finger and the little finger are of the same structure. The multi-sensory human-simulated five-finger dexterous hand has 20 degrees of freedom in total, and the 20 degrees of freedom include 13 active degrees of freedom and 7 passive degrees of freedom. Each finger is formed by connecting a basic-end joint, a basic-end knuckle, a near-end joint, a near-end knuckle, a middle-end joint, a middle-end knuckle, a far-end joint, a far-end knuckle and a finger tip in sequence. The basis ends of all the fingers are connected with a driving module located on the outer side of the palm through a plurality of tendons. The driving module transmits power to all the fingers in a rope meridian driving mode. A control system acquires signals of the sensors and conducts closed-loop control over the dexterous hand. The 31 sensors in total include arrayed tactile sensors and angular sensors located at the finger tips, the knuckles and the palm. The multi-sensory human-simulated five-finger dexterous hand has the advantages of being strong in sensory ability, high in human simulation degree and capable of completing grabbing tasks better.
