Patent number: 7338445Abstract: A medical monitor is disclosed for implantation in a human body for monitoring biological activity and states as detected by implanted sensors. The medical monitor includes at least one hard disk drive. A transmitter and receiver for produces and transmits signals. The medical monitor is in communication with the sensors, by which information on biological activity and states is stored on the at least one disk drive. An enclosure surrounds the at least one hard disk drive, where the enclosure includes a shock-proofing system.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2004Date of Patent: March 4, 2008Assignee: Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Netherlands, B.V.Inventors: Norbert Feliss, Donald Ray Gillis

Patent number: 7278967Abstract: A medical monitor is disclosed for implantation in a human body for monitoring biological activity and states as detected by implanted sensors. The medical monitor includes a primary disk drive and a secondary disk drive, where the secondary disk drive mirrors the primary disk drive. An enclosure surrounds at least one of the primary and secondary drives. A transmitter and receiver for produces and transmits signals. The medical monitor is in communication with the sensors, by which information on biological activity and states is stored on the primary disk drive, and the secondary disk drive.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2004Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Assignee: Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Netherlands, B.V.Inventors: Norbert Feliss, Donald Ray Gillis, Karl Arthur Flechsig

Patent number: 7223234Abstract: An apparatus, and related method, for determining one or more association variables is described. The apparatus includes at least one processor, at least one memory, and at least one program module. The program module is stored in the memory and is configurable to be executed by the processor. The program module includes instructions for determining a statistical relationship between one or more temporal onsets corresponding to one or more events and a pattern of occurrence of a compound variable. The compound variable corresponds at least to a pattern of occurrence of a first variable and a pattern of occurrence of a second variable. The determining includes contributions from presence and absence information in the pattern of occurrence of the compound variable.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2005Date of Patent: May 29, 2007Assignee: Monitrix, Inc.Inventors: Steven Elliot Stupp, Chris Carpenter, Lawrence Newman, Gert Lanckriet

Patent number: 7214187Abstract: A method of detecting lie detection including the steps of first conditioning the subject to produce an involuntary physiological response triggered when the subject provides false statements; and secondly asking the subject to state whether each of series of statements presented to the subject are true. As the subject answers, the subject is monitored for the conditioned involuntary response. Detecting whether the subject is providing false statements is based on whether the involuntary response is observed during these answers. A system (19) for lie detection includes a computing device (21), a controller (40), and at least one conditioning interface (42, 44).Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2002Date of Patent: May 8, 2007Assignee: The University of ChicagoInventors: John T. Cacioppo, Tyler S. Lorig
