| 20080215112 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR EFFECTUATING A LASTING CHANGE IN A NEURAL-FUNCTION OF A PATIENT - The following disclosure describes several methods and apparatus for intracranial electrical stimulation to treat or otherwise effectuate a change in neural-functions of a patient. Several embodiments of methods in accordance with the invention are directed toward enhancing or otherwise inducing a lasting change in neural activity to effectuate a particular neural-function. Such lasting change in neural activity is defined as “neuroplasticity.” The methods in accordance with the invention can be used to treat brain damage (e.g., stroke, trauma, etc.), brain disease (e.g., Alzheimer's, Pick's, Parkinson's, etc.), and/or brain disorders (e.g., epilepsy, depression, etc.). The methods in accordance with the invention can also be used to enhance neural-function of normal, healthy brains (e.g., learning, memory, etc.), or to control sensory functions (e.g., pain). Certain embodiments of methods in accordance with the invention electrically stimulate the brain at a stimulation site where neuroplasticity is occurring. The stimulation site may be different than the region in the brain where neural activity is typically present to perform the particular neural function according to the functional organization of the brain. In one embodiment in which neuroplasticity related to the neural-function occurs in the brain, the method can include identifying the location where such neuroplasticity is present. In an alternative embodiment in which neuroplasticity is not occurring in the brain, an alternative aspect is to induce neuroplasticity at a stimulation site where it is expected to occur. Several embodiments of these methods that are expected to produce a lasting effect on the intended neural activity at the stimulation site use electrical pulses that increase the resting membrane potential of neurons at the stimulation site to a subthreshold level. | 09-04-2008 |

| 20100201564 | REMOVING CLUTTER FROM RADAR CROSS SECTION MEASUREMENTS USING SPECTRAL TAGGING - A system for performing radar cross section measurements of a target may include a radar system and an antenna associated with the radar system to transmit signals and to receive reflected signals from the target and a clutter source. An EM tagging device is locatable proximate to the clutter source to spectrally tag the clutter source by causing changes in an electromagnetic signal reflected by the clutter source when a predetermined radar signal transmitted by the radar system is incident on the target, the clutter source and the EM tagging device. A module may identify a spectrally tagged component of reflected signals received by the radar system from the target, the clutter source and the EM tagging device. The module monitors the spectrally tagged component, compensates for variations in an un-tagged component of the reflected signals caused by the clutter source and EM tagging device, and subtracts contamination caused by the clutter source and EM tagging device and their interactions with the target, to provide a radar cross section of the target with reflected signals from the clutter source removed. | 08-12-2010 |
