In general, the disclosure relates to a fall detection device that may be uniquely associated with a wearer. The fall detection device may predict and confirm a fall experienced by the wearer based on kinematic information of the wearer. In one example, the disclosure is directed to a device, comprising at least one kinematic sensor that measures kinematic information associated with a wearer of the device, the kinematic information including threshold kinematic information and fall event kinematic information, and a controller that analyzes the threshold kinematic information to determine whether a threshold indicative of a postural disturbance is satisfied, and determines whether a fall event is imminent based on the fall event kinematic information.... at least one kinematic sensor may include one or more of an accelerometer, a magnetometer, a pressure sensor, an altimeter, a velocity sensor, an angular velocity sensor or a gyroscope. 2, record 1, English, - kinematic%20sensor

Nuclear magnetic resonance is a consequence of a property possessed by the nucleus known as nuclear spin angular momentum. Some properties associated with nuclear spin angular momentum are similar to those of a spinning macroscopic body, however, nuclear spin angular momentum is a fundamental property that cannot be explained in terms of any other fundamental property such as mass, charge, etc. Nuclear spin angular momentum—like the angular momentum of any other fundamental particle —is a quantized vectorial quantity. Its magnitude is restricted to certain fixed values and its direction is also restricted to certain directions in the presence of a magnetic field. In the absence of a magnetic field, it is not possible to obtain any information regarding its direction. 1, record 3, English, - nuclear%20spin%20angular%20momentum%20vector

Le principe de la résonance magnétique repose sur le fait que lorsqu'un moment magnétique situé dans un champ magnétique est soumis à une excitation magnétique périodique, son comportement n'est influencé par l'excitation que si celle-ci à une fréquence bien déterminée. Cette perturbation affecte le comportement électromagnétique de l'échantillon étudié et peut être mesurée. On obtient alors une courbe de variation appelée raie de résonance. La mesure directe de la résonance magnétique a été améliorée à l'occasion des études sur les radars pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. 6, record 10, French, - moment%20magn%C3%A9tique

Lévitation magnétique [...] - rotation: il est possible de faire léviter un objet avec des aimants fixes. Un exemple en est le lévitron : il s'agit d'une toupie aimantée qui est en lévitation au-dessus d'une base aimantée. En fait, le lévitron peut être considéré comme une sorte de corps diamagnétique : par rotation, on stabilise la direction du moment magnétique dans l'espace (on a un gyroscope magnétique) et on place cet aimant dans un champ magnétique anti-parallèle. 7, record 10, French, - moment%20magn%C3%A9tique

Inertial sensors(gyroscopes and accelerometers) are used to obtain information on orientation and accelerations relative to a reference frame in which Newton's laws are valid. Orientation or attitude measurements obtained by gyroscopes provide angular information, while acceleration measurements, which are corrected for gravity and, integrated twice for distance, provide linear information. 3, record 11, English, - inertial%20sensor

Les gyroscopes ont passablement évolué. Leur miniaturisation a progressé grâce à la découverte de propriétés vibratoires ou optiques permettant la détermination de la vitesse angulaire. Les systèmes inertiels ne dépendent plus des qualités mécaniques de cardans, mais sont fixés solidairement au véhicule. On parle ainsi de «systèmes strapdown». Le gyroscope n'a plus pour mission de conserver une direction fixe. Les vitesses angulaires mesurées sont intégrées pour connaître l'orientation spatiale. Les processeurs ont en quelque sorte remplacé les cardans. Cette évolution a considérablement simplifié les systèmes capteurs inertiels et donc réduit les prix des systèmes. 5, record 11, French, - capteur%20inertiel

The nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) gyroscope is a rate-integrating single axis gyro that obtains its rotational information from the dynamic angular motion of certain nuclei.
