20150081335 | BED/ROOM/PATIENT ASSOCIATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Systems and methods of associating beds and/or rooms and/or patients are provided. One system and method involves using a signature of emitted light to determine a location of a patient bed in a healthcare facility. Another system and method involves reading a bar code from an array of redundant bar codes. Still another system and method involves manually entering location information on a graphical user interface of a patient bed for subsequent transmission. A further system and method involves sending bed ID and location ID along parallel paths from two independent circuits on a patient bed for receipt by two different transceivers and ultimately by two different remote computers that cooperate to associate the bed ID with the location ID. Still a further system and method involves using circuitry on a bed to mutate a received location ID and a bed ID into a single unique mutated ID such as by adding the location ID and bed ID and then performing a hashing operation. | 03-19-2015 |

20100036254 | Spectrum analysis of coronary artery turbulent blood flow - A method includes acquiring vibrational cardiac data from an array of N transducers wherein the transducers are coupled to a human. A master replica is selected from a segment of the vibrational cardiac data. The master replica is correlated with the segment to obtain a plurality of local maxima. Vibrational cardiac data that were emitted during a diastolic interval are extracted from each heart cycle with the aid of the plurality of local maxima. A two-dimensional space-time frequency power spectrum is processed for Equivalent Rectangular Bandwidth, which provides estimates of the energy produced by turbulent blood flow through a coronary stenosis. | 02-11-2010 |
20140187971 | Spectrum analysis of coronary artery turbulent blood flow - Methods and apparatuses are described to obtain cardiac data, which includes acquiring vibrational field cardiac data from a transducer wherein the transducer measures vibration over a surface of a human's body. An unwanted coronary event is separated from vibrational cardiac data. A transient event is extracted from the vibrational cardiac heart cycle data. The transient event occurs during a diastolic interval within a heart cycle. The transient event is evaluated for a condition of coronary artery blood flow turbulence and a condition of health of a coronary artery is assessed from a feature in the vibrational frequency power spectrum estimate. | 07-03-2014 |

20100162078 | TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS - A telecommunication system and related methods. Implementations may include implementations of a method of encoding data for transmission, including forming a frame by encoding a message block using a short-block low density parity check (LDPC) code and an encoder to form a short encoded block, modulating the short encoded block using a modulation format and a modulator to form a modulated short encoded block, including the modulated short encoded block in a data payload of the frame, and transmitting the frame into a telecommunication channel with a transmitter. The frame may be one of a plurality of frames and each modulated short encoded block in each of the plurality of frames may have a constant number of symbols. The frame may include a modulation/code pair (ModCod) including information relating to the modulation format and the short-block LDPC code used for encoding and modulation. | 06-24-2010 |

20080313130 | Method and System for Retrieving, Selecting, and Presenting Compelling Stories form Online Sources - The invention provides a method and system for automatically retrieving, selecting, and presenting compelling stories from online sources. The system mines the online sources and collects texts that are likely to contain compelling stories. The system then extracts candidate stories from them and transforms these candidate stories to make them appropriate for presentation. The candidate stories are then passed through a set of filters to focus the system on stories with a heightened emotional state. Techniques are used to ensure retrieval of appropriate and meaningful content for the performance of the stories. The modified and filtered stories are then prepared for presentation, including marked up with speech and animation cues, gender classification, and dramatic Adaptive Retrieval Charts (or ARCs). These ARCs allow for various performance types from an ongoing performance of multiple actors in a physical installation to single actor performance of a single story for an online system. | 12-18-2008 |
