Title: Extended optical range reflective system for monitoring motion of a member
Inventor: COULSTON GEORGE W
IPC: D03D15/56
Filed: 2004-09-10
Abstract: A garment and system includes a monitoring fabric that exhibits a light reflection property and substantially no light transmission property when the fabric is illuminated with light having wavelength(s) in the range of 400 to 2200 nanometers. The amount of useful light reflected by the fabric into an aperture of acceptance defined with respect to an axis extending from the fabric relative to the amount of light lost to the aperture of acceptance detectably changes when the fabric stretches in response to motion, as the motion induced by physiological activity (e.g., heart rate). The system includes at least one radiation source and at least one radiation detector, with the detector disposed in the aperture of acceptance. The source and detector may be attached to the fabric in relative positions such that the reception of incident radiation by the detector is directly affected by a change in the amount of useful light reflected by the fabric into the aperture of acceptance as the fabric stretches in response to motion.

Title: Communication system, contents processing device, communication method, and computer program
Inventor: TANAKA KOUJIROU
IPC: G06F21/10
Filed: 2005-07-21
Abstract: A communication system and so on capable of efficiently registering a plurality of devices owned by the same user. In this communication system, the terminal ID of a contents processing device has been registered in a management server. When a contents reproducing device is to be registered in the management server through the contents processing device, the transmission of user information by a user information transmission unit is not performed, but a registration-requesting information transmission unit transmits the registration-requesting information containing the terminal ID and a device ID  for discriminating the contents reproducing device. A registration unit specifies a registration record on the basis of the terminal ID contained in the registration-requesting information, and registers the device ID in the registration record and returns registration-completed information to the contents processing device. A list update unit adds, as it receives the registration-completed information from the management server, a group ID of the contents processing device itself to a second source ID list of the contents reproducing device.
