UNY Poly CNSE is proud to play a role in the development of this sensor
The device consists of a tilt sensor for octave selection a pressure sensor to produce sound,
and a position sensor to track the movement of the mouthpiece. As designed, the position slider had to make physical contact with a sensor,
however, and over time the slider wore out and failed. After hearing about SUNY Poly CNSE Professor and Head of the Nanobioscience Constellation Dr. Jim Castracane research related to novel sensors, the Jamboxx creators connected with Dr. Castracane who found that a Self

#Wearable technology Combines Inertial and Electromyographic Sensors for Detecting Gestures A smart device that translates sign language
The wearable technology combines motion sensors and the measurement of electrical activity generated by muscles to interpret hand gestures,
notes Jafari who presented his research at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 12th Annual Body Sensor Networks Conference this past June.
Jafari system makes use of two distinct sensors. The first is an inertial sensor that responds to motion.
Consisting of an accelerometer and gyroscope the sensor measures the accelerations and angular velocities of the hand and arm, Jafari notes.
This sensor plays a major role in discriminating different signs by capturing the user hand orientations and hand and arm movements during a gesture.
However, a motion sensor alone wasn enough, Jafari explains. Certain signs in American sign language are similar in terms of the gestures required to convey the word.
With these gestures the overall movement of the hand may be the same for two different signs,
Jafari system makes use of another type of sensor that measures muscle activity. Known as an electromyographic sensor (semg), this sensor non-invasively measures the electrical potential of muscle activities,
Jafari explains. It is used to distinguish various hand and finger movements based on different muscle activities.
Essentially, it good at measuring finger movements and the muscle activity patterns for the hand and arm, working in tandem with the motion sensor to provide a more accurate interpretation of the gesture being signed,
In Jafari system both inertial sensors and electromyographic sensors are placed on the right wrist of the user where they detect gestures
and expanding the system to both hands. he combination of muscle activation detection with motion sensors is a new and exciting way of understanding human intent with other applications in addition to enhanced SLR systems,

For power, these new sensors rely on the reader. Specifically, there a metal coil inside the reader and a much smaller coil in the sensor itself.
An electric current magnetizes the coil inside the reader, and that magnetic field creates a voltage in the sensor coil
