20090043221 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR HIGH-SPEED DETERMINATION OF BIOELECTRIC ELECTRODE IMPEDANCES - Apparatuses and methods are provided for determining electrode impedances of a bioelectric signal-monitoring/recording system that includes an amplifier, and electrodes connected between a subject and the amplifier. An example apparatus includes: a voltage source outputting a voltage signal; a switching arrangement including an input electrically connected with the voltage source for receiving the voltage signal, an output electrically connected with the amplifier and the electrodes, and switches between the input and the output; and a controller in communication with the switches for opening and closing the switches to establish signal paths between the voltage source and the output, the controller calculating the electrode impedances relative to voltage outputs of the amplifier for each signal path. | 02-12-2009 |

20150302297 | Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) Serial Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Sequence Design - Example apparatus and methods employ an artificial neural network (ANN) to automatically design magnetic resonance (MR) pulse sequences. The ANN is trained using transverse magnetization signal evolutions having arbitrary initial magnetizations. The trained up ANN may then produce an array of signal evolutions associated with a pulse sequence having user selectable pulse sequence parameters that vary in degrees of freedom associated with magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF). Efficient and accurate approaches are provided for predicting user controllable MR pulse sequence settings including, but not limited to, acquisition period and flip angle (FA). The acquisition period and FA may be different in different sequence blocks in the pulse sequence produced by the ANN. Predicting user controllable MR pulse sequence settings for both conventional MR and MRF facilitates achieving desired signal characteristics from a signal evolution produced in response to an automatically generated pulse sequence. | 10-22-2015 |

20090069703 | SYSTEM FOR ARTIFACT DETECTION AND ELIMINATION IN AN ELECTROCARDIOGRAM SIGNAL RECORDED FROM A PATIENT MONITOR - A system eliminates artifacts from an electrocardiogram signal. The system includes a monitor for receiving an electrocardiogram signal from a patient and a microprocessor utilizing a shift-invariant wavelet transform for decomposing the electrocardiogram signal into a plurality of scales. The microprocessor applies rules to the scales for removing artifacts from the scales. The microprocessor reassembles the plurality of scales to produce a reconstructed and accurate electrocardiogram signal without the artifacts. | 03-12-2009 |
20150096026 | CYBER SECURITY - Systems and methods that use probabilistic grammatical inference and statistical data analysis techniques to characterize the behavior of systems in terms of a low dimensional set of summary variables and, on the basis of these models, detect anomalous behaviors are disclosed. The disclosed information-theoretic system and method exploit the properties of information to deduce a structure for information flow and management. The properties of information can provide a fundamental basis for the decomposition of systems and hence a structure for the transmission and combination of observations at the desired levels of resolution (e.g., component, subsystem, system). | 04-02-2015 |

20150190823 | DENSE PHASE OR DILUTE PHASE DELIVERY THROUGH A POWDER GUN - A selectively configurable spray gun may include a gun body comprising a selectable forward section and a rearward section. The rearward section may be connected with either of two or more selectable forward sections so as to selectively configure the spray gun to operate either with a dense phase powder supply configuration or a with dilute phase powder supply configuration. The rearward section may include a selectable powder flow path that is connectable at an inlet end to a source of dense phase powder and at an outlet end to a selectable spray nozzle in the selectable forward section that may optionally include a diffuser. An adapter may be used to connect the rearward section with a selectable spray nozzle or air cap. A manual spray gun embodiment is also presented. A selectively configurable spray gun for use with a dense phase powder supply may include a smaller diameter powder tube that extends through a larger diameter powder tube. | 07-09-2015 |
