| 20110155892 | ADJUSTABLE CMOS SENSOR ARRAY - In one aspect, the present invention provides an active pixel sensor array with optimized matching between pixels and strength and frequency of incoming signals such as photons absorbed. The array comprises multiple pixels of individual geometry corresponds to spatial location. Each pixel full-well is adjustable via modifiable pixel conversion gain while maintaining pixel linearity. Furthermore each pixel internally stores multiple of extremely high frequency samples. Variable pixel geometry per row is very advantageous for Echelle spectrograph, where pixel heights are aligned with the spectrograph “order separator” where the resolution changes. In combination with variable geometry, externally adjustable full-well provides for superior spectral line separation in spectroscopy applications. In one embodiment multiple time windows with intermittent resets are stored within each pixel. This feature allows for the detection of extreme high frequency consecutive events without saturation such as may be the case with LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy). | 06-30-2011 |

| 20080251070 | Method and apparatus for capnography-guided intubation - A method and apparatus for qualitative sensory signal, capnography-guided intubation is provided. A qualitative sensory signal, such as an audible signal, is generated during intubation of a patient to provide an audible indication of carbon dioxide levels, so as to facilitate proper placement of an intubation tube. The frequency of the audible signal corresponds to measured carbon dioxide levels, thereby providing a simple, easy-to-interpret, audible indication of the current position of an endotracheal tube during intubation, as well as confirmation of proper placement of the tube. Alternatively, the qualitative sensor signal may be an omni-directional visual signal or a palpable vibratory signal. | 10-16-2008 |

| 20090048828 | GAP INTERPOLATION IN ACOUSTIC SIGNALS USING COHERENT DEMODULATION - Information is estimated to fill-in even relatively long gaps (e.g., up to 250 ms) that occur in a signal due to physical errors in media or transmission, where the omitted information causes signal distortion. The signal is first divided into a plurality of subbands, since the gaps in each subband are individually easier to interpolate. Coherent demodulation is then employed on each subband signal to reduce the time-varying signals to a collection of pairs of frequency-modulated carriers multiplied by complex-valued envelopes, or modulators. Standard interpolation is then separately applied to the modulators and carriers of these pairs to fill-in the gaps in each of the subbands, and the interpolated pairs are remodulated. The resulting interpolated signals from each of the subbands are recombined to form the final interpolated output signal in which the gaps are filled in with estimated data. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090083031 | CLIPPED-WAVEFORM REPAIR IN ACOUSTIC SIGNALS USING GENERALIZED LINEAR PREDICTION - A method and system for optimally repairing a clipped audio signal. Clipping occurs when a waveform exceeds a dynamic range of a recording device. Portions of an audio signal exceeding the dynamic range or saturation level of the recording device are clipped, causing distortion when the clipped recorded signal is played. To address this problem, successive frames of the clipped audio data are repaired to fill in gaps where the data were clipped. For each frame, an iterative process repetitively estimates an auto-covariance and detects clipped samples in the frame or a sub-frame in order to compute a least-squares solution for the frame that interpolates the clipped data. The process can cause inverted peaks in the repaired data, which must then be rectified to produced corrected repaired data. The corrected repaired data for the successive frames are recombined using interpolation, to produce a complete repaired audio data set. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090312820 | ENHANCED SIGNAL PROCESSING FOR COCHLEAR IMPLANTS - The restoration of melody perception is a key remaining challenge in cochlear implants. A novel sound coding strategy is proposed that converts an input audio signal into time-varying electrically stimulating pulse trains. A sound is first split into several frequency sub-bands with a fixed filter bank or a dynamic filter bank tracking harmonics in sounds. Each sub-band signal is coherently downward shifted to a low-frequency base band. These resulting coherent envelope signals have Hermitian symmetric frequency spectrums and are thus real-valued. A peak detector or high-rate sampler of half-wave rectified coherent envelope signals in each sub-band further converts the coherent envelopes into rate-varying, interleaved pulse trains. Acoustic simulations of cochlear implants using this new technique with normal hearing listeners, showed significant improvement in melody recognition over the most common conventional stimulation approach used in cochlear implants. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100161254 | DETECTING OBJECTS IN SHIPPING CONTAINERS BY VIBRATION SPECTRAL ANALYSIS - Objects in a cargo shipping container are detected by measuring vibration resonant frequency peaks of the container. The mass of an object on the floor of the container effects the vibration resonance of the container, enabling the object to be detected. A vibration source and a plurality of accelerometers are either attached to the steel structure of the container, or are disposed on a supporting structure, such as a cargo crane or lift, so that they contact the container. The vibration source causes the container to vibrate, and the accelerometers detect the vibration resonance of the container. A mismatch between a cargo manifest and an observed cargo, or detection of an object having relatively high mass, e.g., due to lead shielding, can justify a manual inspection. The process uses synchronous processing to achieve the sensitivity needed, is unobtrusive, and does not slow the flow of cargo through a facility. | 06-24-2010 |
