20140364678 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NEURO-STIMULATION - A neuro-stimulation system employs a includes a stimulator which may include electrode devices and/or vibration elements. A controller may be employed to drive the stimulating elements with an electrical signal. In response to the electrical signal, the stimulating elements deliver electrical and/or mechanical stimulation to the body part. The stimulation may be an aperiodic stimulation and/or may be a subthreshold stimulation. In one embodiment, the stimulator is disposable and the processor determines usage of the stimulator and ensures that the stimulator is limited to a certain amount of use. Neuro-stimulation systems may be applied to sensory cells of body parts during movement of the body parts to induce neuroplastic changes. Such movement may involve a variety of therapeutic applications, e.g. in stroke patient therapy. | 12-11-2014 |

20140330159 | QUANTITATIVE METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR NEUROLOGICAL ASSESSMENT - Typical neurological examinations focus on qualitative and subjective assessments, including obtaining a patient history, assessing the patient's cognitive status, motor and sensory skills, and cranial nerve functionality. A quantitative assessment of neurological condition includes recording a subject performing a visuomotor task and processing the performance data to determine a level of complexity in the task activity and determine a complexity index. For a sample healthy population, a baseline level of complexity and baseline complexity index can be determined. A patient's complexity index can be compared to this baseline complexity index as an indication of disease or disability. A baseline complexity index can be determined for a patient at part of a health maintenance examination and used as the baseline complexity to detect disease or disability in the future based on lower complexity index values in future examinations. | 11-06-2014 |

20080314199 | Enhanced Alloy Recovery In Molten Steel Baths Utilizing Cored Wires Doped With Deoxidants - The present invention provides increased recovery in additive-enhanced or alloy-enhanced molten steel. This is accomplished by deoxidizing powders blended with the additive alloys. The deoxidizing powder reacts with the oxygen, thereby depleting the oxygen in this region. The alloy or additive region is enriched, thereby improving the recovery in the molten steel. | 12-25-2008 |
20080314201 | Enhanced Alloy Recovery In Molten Steel Baths Utilizing Cored Wires Doped With Dispersants - The present invention provides increased recovery in additive-enhanced or alloy-enhanced molten steel. This is accomplished by dispersing agents blended with the additive alloys. The dispersant powder reacts with the carbon in the steel forming carbon monoxide gas which provides kinetic energy to the additive alloy particle causing dispersion within the molten bath, resulting in greater dissolution of the particles in the molten bath. The alloy or additive region is enriched, thereby improving the recovery in the molten steel. | 12-25-2008 |
