4,670,328 | 2000-05-15 | 23,219,904 | Y | A method for anticipation and tracking eye movement for head tracked projectors which divides a projection surface into spherical triangles and uses interpolating calibration values stored at each vertex of the triangle. A calibration map is used that contains information about the relationship between the user's head orientation and where they are looking with their eyes at each calibration point. The projection surface is divided into spherical triangles which are searched to find the triangle which contain the user's interpolated view point by performing a dot product test between the interpolated view point and the unit normal vectors inside the three planes that make up the sides of the spherical triangle extended back to the eye point. When a dot product test fails for any side of the triangle the pointer is followed to the adjacent triangle where the test starts over. When the triangle is found that has the interpolated view point inside it, the selected triangle is divided into three sub-triangles. Then the area of the sub-triangles inside the selected triangle is computed. The areas of the sub-triangles are then used to find ratios of the sub-triangles' areas versus the selected spherical triangle area for weighting the calibration points stored with each vertex. Then the weighted calibrations are added to the values for the interpolated view point. This creates a calibrated view point where the head tracked projector is then pointed and the computer generated simulated image is projected. | en | PROCESS FOR ANTICIPATION AND TRACKING OF EYE MOVEMENT | 13282013_US | 16634788_US | G09B 9/307 | [

49,749,541 | 1999-06-28 | 46,256,532 | Y | A tuned antenna-coupled infrared detector is made possible by application of a bias voltage in the range of a few hundred millivolts. The use of first and second antenna arms connected to the detector makes possible polarization tuning which eliminates the need for bulk-optical polarization filters. An alternative tuned detector is one in which the antenna is frequency tuned by a capacitative device to make the detector particularly responsive to 8 um to 12 um infrared radiation. When integrated into focal plane arrays, these detectors can be used in remote-sensing systems to facilitate enhanced image recognition, feature extraction and image-clutter removal. One preferred version of the polarization tuned antenna has longitudinal metal antenna arms extending outward from an infrared(IR) sensor in a spiral pattern, with polarization tuning devices connected between the antenna arms, and a voltage for controlling the polarization tuning devices, wherein the polarization tuning devices enable real-time control of current distribution in the arms.

The present invention also provides a method of detection of myocyte viability by using the “quantitative” method to differentiate “normal” functioning cardiac tissue from non-viable “infarcted” cardiac tissue and from “stunned/hibernating” myocytes, which may benefit from intervention. The present invention further provides a method for detection of IVD by detecting enhanced thymic activity associated with IVD and treatable causes. The present invention does so while reducing total patient imaging time, patient table time, radiation isotope doses and exposure to both patient and others through primary and secondary exposure to isotope emissions.

In accordance with the illustrative embodiment of the present invention, two or more stimuli are chosen and administered to a subject at a temporal interval apart. Each stimulus causes a neuronal event in the brain of the subject, and if the two neuronal events occur at the same time and at the same place, they interfere, which interference is manifested by different physiological effects than are caused by either neuronal event alone. When the interference is detected, the time interval between the first stimulus and the second stimulus can be compared to a nominal range. If the time interval is outside of the nominal range, then it suggests that a pathological condition exists. The illustrative embodiment of the present invention comprises: stimulating a subject with a first stimulus to cause a first event in the subject; stimulating the subject with a second stimulus to cause a second event in the subject, wherein the second stimulus occurs at a temporal interval, DELTA tn, after the first stimulus, and wherein the first event and the second event jointly affect at least one characteristic of a first physiological effect at a first region of the subject as a function of the temporal interval, DELTA tn; and measuring the at least one characteristic of the first physiological effect at the first region of the subject. <IMAGE> | en | Functional magnetic resonance imaging capable of detecting the occurrence of neuronal events with high temporal accuracy | 26_US | 688470_US,688472_US,688471_US | A61B 5/162 | [

50,156,684 | 2003-02-11 | 27,669,317 | N | A neural stimulation system automatically corrects or adjusts the stimulus magnitude in order to maintain a comfortable and effective stimulation therapy. Auto correction of the stimulus magnitude is linked to the measurement of coupling efficiency. Because the events that lead to the necessity of an output amplitude change are all associated with how much electrical energy is coupled to the neural tissue, and because there are several physiologic parameters that reflect in some measure how much energy is actually coupled to the tissue, the measurement of the one or more of such physiologic parameters is used as an indicator of the electrode's effectiveness in providing therapeutic stimulation. The physiologic parameters that may be measured, and used by the invention as a measure of coupling efficiency, include: action potential(s); the optical transmissive and/or reflective properties of the tissue and fluids surrounding or adjacent the target neural tissue; the chemistry of the fluids and tissue near the electrodes, e.g., in the epidural space; or the changes in pressure that occur near the electrodes, e.g., in the epidural space. The relative change in the measured physiologic parameter is used as an indicator of the obstruction to current flow between the electrodes and the neural tissue. Such knowledge with respect to time thus permits the neural stimulation system to effectively auto-correct the output amplitude, thereby minimizing the occurrence of over-stimulation or under-stimulation. | en | Neural stimulation system providing auto adjustment of stimulus output as a function of sensed coupling efficiency | 38758889_,38243433_ | 38243435_US,38758890_US | A61N 1/36071 | [

The method comprises the steps of electrocardiosignal acquisition, R wave positioning, calculation of the heart rate, calculation of respiratory sinus arrhythmia indexes, calculation of heart rate variation indexes, and calculation of the heart rate mean value. In the non-strenuous exercise state, a short RR interval mean value and a small heart rate variation rate are shown, and (or) the situation that RR intervals are continuously lengthened or continuously shortened for many times in the adjacent intervals due to shallow and slow breathing, and it is suggested that a speaker is in a mental stress state. Particularly, the continuous variable lengthening or continuous shortening of the RR adjacency intervals occurs many times only during the speech period, which usually indicates that the speaker is in a weak mental stress state; when the first two features or all three features occur, it is suggested that the speaker is in a strong mental stress state; and when the three features do not occur, it is prompted that no mental stress occurs to the speaker. Through the detection of the small RR interval mean value, the low heart rate variability and the sinus arrhythmia indexes caused by shallow and slow breathing, and a empirical threshold method or a classical classifier is adopted, so that the method for real-time detection of the mental stress state during speech is obtained. | en | Method for real-time detection of mental stress state during speech through heart rate measurement | 60222932_ | 61617418_,60678662_ | A61B 5/02405,A61B 5/0245,A61B 5/165,A61B 5/316,A61B 5/318,A61B 5/352,A61B 5/7235,A61B 5/7271 | [

[Solution] A reference data measuring unit 22 measures, as reference data, a reference pupil diameter Csk, a breathing influenced pupil diameter Dskt, and a pulse influenced pupil diameter Eskt for each of various combinations of the brightness of an entire screen and the brightness of a visual point. A measuring unit 23 identifies the reference pupil diameter Csk, the breathing influenced pupil diameter Dskt, and the pulse influenced pupil diameter Eskt corresponding to the elapsed time of content. The measuring unit 23 sets a pupil diameter Bt as an attentive pupil diameter A1t in the case of two or more breathing times (T1), calculates the attentive pupil diameter A1t by subtracting the breathing pupil diameter Dskt from the pupil diameter Bt in the case of two or more pulse times and less than two breathing times (T2), and calculates the attentive pupil diameter A1t by further subtracting the pulse influenced pupil diameter Eskt therefrom in the case of less than two pulse times (T3). The measuring unit 23 calculates an attention-attributable pupil diameter A2t by subtracting the reference pupil diameter Csk from the attentive pupil diameter A1t, and divides the attentive pupil diameter A1t and the attention-attributable pupil diameter A2t by the reference pupil diameter Csk to calculate the degrees of attention P1t and P2t. | en | VIEWER EMOTION DETERMINATION APPARATUS THAT ELIMINATES INFLUENCE OF BRIGHTNESS, BREATHING, AND PULSE, VIEWER EMOTION DETERMINATION SYSTEM, AND PROGRAM | 67818181_JP | 64078299_JP,68445668_JP | A61B 3/11,A61B 3/112,A61B 3/113,A61B 5/0059,A61B 5/02,A61B 5/0816,A61B 5/163,A61B 5/165,A61B 5/7203,G06V 40/18 | [

16,197,418 | 2005-08-12 | 35,589,450 | Y | A typical task assigned for measuring a brain activity signal lasts from 10 to 30 seconds. This is the duration of time required for sufficiently inducing a brain activity such that it can be measured. The frequency bands of brain activity signals obtained by such a task lie between approximately 0.03 and 0.1 Hz. Therefore, the frequency band of the Mayer wave noise signal is very close to the frequency bands of brain activity signals. As a result, it is difficult to reduce the Mayer wave noise signal using a bandpass filter or a bandcut filter. Further, because a low-frequency fluctuation signal contains non-periodic and irregular changes, reducing it with a simple frequency filtering is difficult.

53,827,453 | 2007-09-12 | 39,733,854 | Y | Agent-based models (ABMs)/multi-agent systems (MASs) are one of the most widely used modeling-simulation-analysis approaches for understanding the dynamical behavior of complex systems. These models can be often characterized by several parameters with nonlinear interactions which together determine the global system dynamics, usually measured by different conflicting criteria. One problem that can emerge is that of tuning the controllable system parameters at the local level, in order to reach some desirable global behavior. According to one exemplary embodiment t of the present invention, the tuning of an ABM for emergency response planning can be cast as a multi-objective optimization problem (MOOP). Further, the use of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) and procedures for exploration and optimization of the resultant search space can be utilized. It is possible to employ conventional MOEAs, e.g., the Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) and the Pareto Archived Evolution Strategy (PAES), and their performance can be tested for different pairs of objectives for plan evaluation. In the experimental results, the approximate Pareto front of the non-dominated solutions is effectively obtained. Further, a conflict between the proposed objectives can be seen.

More specifically, the images are normalized and cropped to show only a person's face, categorized according to the face pose of the depicted person's face by assigning them to one of a series of face pose ranges, and abstracted preferably via an eigenface approach. The preprocessed face images are preferably used to train a neural network ensemble having a first stage made up of a bank of face recognition neural networks each of which is dedicated to a particular pose range, and a second stage constituting a single fusing neural network that is used to combine the outputs from each of the first stage neural networks. Once trained, the input of a face region which has been extracted from an input image and preprocessed (i.e., normalized, cropped and abstracted) will cause just one of the output units of the fusing portion of the neural network ensemble to become active. The active output unit indicates either the identify of the person whose face was extracted from the input image and the associated face pose, or that the identity of the person is unknown to the system. | en | Pose-invariant face recognition system and process | 5215886_US | 5498288_CN,6021422_US,8689506_US | G06K 9/6282,G06V 40/172 | [

The equalized feedforward and feedback output signals are combined together to cancel intersymbol interference before being applied to the decision circuit. First tap-gain control circuits derive first tap-gain signals from a decision error and signals at the first delay-line taps and respectively apply these signals to the first tap-gain multipliers. Second tap-gain control circuits derive second tap-gain signals from the decision error and signals at the second delay-line taps and respectively apply these signals to the second tap-gain multipliers. A complex correlation is detected between signals at opposite ends of the first tapped delay line and compared with a threshold. At the instant the detected correlation becomes lower than the threshold, all tap-gain control circuits are caused to hold their outputs at the amplitude values which were attained at that instant. In a modified embodiment, correlations between the input signal received by the first tapped delay line and the delayed signals at the first delay-line taps are detected and normalized by a factor 1/N where N is equal to the number of delay taps. The normalized correlations are used as the tap-gain signals for all the tap-gain multipliers. | en | Decision-feedback equalizer for cancelling CW interference | 5217703_JP | 5435366_JP | H04L 25/03057 | [

The downsampled radiotelephone signals are demodulated at the cellular radio exchange and th e digital coded speech is modulated at the cellular radiotelephone base statio n. Diversity demodulation may be used at the cellular radio exchange, to diversity demodulate the downsampled radiotelephone signals at the cellular radio exchange. By downlinking digital coded speech from the cellular radio exchange to the cellular radiotelephone base station, and uplinking downsampled radiotelephone signals from the cellular radiotelephone base station to the cellular radio exchange, narrowband uplinks and downlinks may be provided between the base stations and the cellular radio exchange, to thereby reduce cost. Moreover, since demodulation takes place at the cellula r radio exchange rather than at the base stations, low cost base stations may be provided.

11,287,633 | 1994-03-03 | 21,840,315 | N | In the case of simultaneous transmission and emission converging tomography a single photon-emission computer-tomography system contains three gamma-camera heads (22a, 22b, 22c) which are mounted on a frame (20) so that they can be rotated about an object (12). An emission radiation source is injected into the object, the emission radiation of which is received by the camera heads. Transmission radiation from a transmission radiation source (30) is limited in cross-section so that it crosses through a central part and not through edge parts of the object and is received by one (22a) of the camera heads simultaneously with the emission data. While the heads and the radiation source rotate, the transmitted radiation passes through various or no parts of the edge parts in various rotational-angle situations. An ultrasonic distance sensor (152) measures an actual edge of the object. By reconstruction (90'') of the transmission data by means of an iterative approximation method and of the measured actual object edge, attentuation properties of the object are determined. The actual edge is used for reduction of artefacts during the reconstruction process, which artefacts are produced by the radiation limiting and the incomplete sampling (scanning) of the edge parts which is connected therewith. An emission-construction processor (112) reconstructs the emission-projection data and attenuation properties to give an attenuation-corrected ...

The initial note series may be altered to create variations of the initial note series using various mathematical operations. The resulting altered note series, or other data stored in memory is read out according to one or more patterns. The patterns may have steps containing pools of independently selectable items from which random selections are made. A pseudo-random number generator is employed to perform the random selections during processing, where the random sequences thereby generated have the ability to be repeated at specific musical intervals. The resulting musical effect may additionally incorporate a repeated effect, or a repeated effect can be independently performed from input notes in the musical input material. The repeated notes are generated according to one or more patterns, which may also have steps containing pools of random selections. A duration control means is used to avoid polyphony problems and provide novel effects.

Proton magnetic resonance single voxel spectroscopy is a type of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) which enables measurement of biochemical variation generated by penetration of metabolite into a bio-tissue through a continuous, repetitive, and non-invasive method using the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus. A standard for qualifying the evaluation is necessary in doing the performance evaluation on the spectroscopic resolution of the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus and shimming degree of magnetic field related to the MRS. The phantom for evaluating the performance of the magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging (MRSI) based on the present invention can perform the function. There is an aqueous solution in which each metabolite distributed in the human brain is diluted in an inner container of janggu shape, which is placed inside the phantom, so it is possible to know whether the spectrum of each material in the MRSI obtained from the human brain properly matches that obtained from the phantom. In addition, because the inner container of the phantom forms the janggu shape or layered dumbbell shape, the position accuracy of VOI (volume of interest) and quantitative accuracy of metabolite can be measured by controlling the amount of metabolite which is contained in the voxel of each layer. | en | PHANTOM FOR EVALUATING THE PERFORMANCE OF MRSI (MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY IMAGING) | 41251216_KR,12641820_KR,33275294_KR | 33275294_KR,41251216_KR | A61B 5/055,A61B2560/0228,G01R 33/58 | [

In cases where the current input speech signal has no local peak, the cross-correlation becomes high, so that a synthesized speech signal is generated from the past input speech signal stored in the first code book or a predetermined sound source signal having one speech sub-frame length stored in the second code book.

Therefore, even though the current input speech signal suddenly has a local peak, because the synthesized speech signal is generated from the short-length sound source signals respectively having a speech length lower than one speech sub-frame length, the local peak can be expressed by the short-length sound source signals, an appropriate exciting sound source signal similar to the current input speech signal can be determined, and the synthesized speech signal can be adequately obtained. | en | Code excited linear prediction coder with a short-length codebook for modeling speech having local peak | 5210917_JP | 6068674_JP | G10L 19/00,G10L 19/12,G10L2019/0005 | [

The system and method are particularly suitable for ultra-fine materials having similar color, shape and features which are difficult to identify through conventional chemical, physical, electrical or optical methods due to a lack of distinguishing features. The invention discloses a uniquely configured optical system which employs polarized sample light passing through a full wave compensation plate, a linear polarizer analyzer and a quarter wave retardation plate for producing vivid color bi-refringence pattern images which uniquely identify high-order refractive indices samples in a diverse population of nearly visually identical samples. The resultant patterns display very subtle differences between species which are frequently indiscernable by conventional microscopy methods. When these images are analyzed with a trainable with a statistical learning model, such as a soft-margin support vector machine with a Gaussian RBF kernel, good discrimination is obtained on a feature set extracted from Gabor wavelet transforms and color distribution angles of each image. By constraining the Gabor center frequencies to be low, the resulting system can attain classification accuracy in excess of 90% for vertically oriented images, and in excess of 80% for randomly oriented images. | en | Optical method and system for rapid identification of multiple refractive index materials using multiscale texture and color invariants | 5339068_US | 5339069_US,5339070_US | A01K 61/54,G02B 27/52,Y02A 40/81 | [
