Patent number: 11397159Abstract: A method for analyzing constituents of a material under test is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a plurality of impedance spectroscopy measurements of the material under test over a predetermined frequency range. A data set is passed to a machine learning system, the machine learning system having been trained to return an output related to one or more constituents in the material under test based on impedance spectroscopy measurement data over the predetermined frequency range. An output of the machine learning system is received and outputted. Related systems, methods and devices are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2019Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: BYTE NUTRITION SCIENCE INCORPORATEDInventors: Daniel Shapiro, Brian Dressler, Ryan Wallace, Hershel Caytak

Patent number: 8942811Abstract: A device for transcranial stimulation. The device for transcranial stimulation comprises an adjustable current source for providing a stimulation current; a first electrode connected to the current source for electrical connection to a patient; a second electrode connected to the current source for electrical connection to the patient; a first current interruptor for interrupting current flow between the current source and the electrode, the first current interruptor connected between the adjustable current source and the first electrode; and an output monitor connected between the current source and the first electrode for monitoring current to the patient. The output monitor detects an abnormal current it signals the first interruptor, which interrupts the current to the patient. A method of operating a device for transcranial stimulation is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2012Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: Nuraleve Inc.Inventors: Paul Gardin, Mathieu Lemay, Daniel Shapiro, Ian Chapman, Shazib Shaukat, Stanley Shapiro, Brian Dressler

Patent number: 8874220Abstract: A device for cranial nerve stimulation of an individual is disclosed, having a signal driver unit for producing a current; an intraoral stimulation board having at least one primary electrode, and at least one secondary electrode positioned on the individual for communicating a current through the individual, wherein current can flow between the intraoral stimulation board and the secondary electrode. The device may be used to treat a number of ailments. In one embodiment, the device provides input representing two planes of movement, or is used as a gaming controller. A method of using an electrical stimulation system is also disclosed, comprising the steps of: a) positioning the intraoral stimulation board within the individual's mouth; b) connecting the secondary electrode to the individual; c) operating the signal driver unit for a predetermined time to provide a current flow between the intraoral stimulation board and the secondary electrode.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2012Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Nuraleve Inc.Inventors: Ovidiu Ioan Draghici, Izmail Batkin, Miodrag Bolic, Ian Stanley Chapman, Alexey Borisenko, Daniel Shapiro, Stanley Shapiro, Brian Dressler

Publication number: 20140142676Abstract: A headband for retaining electrodes in position on a patient's head is disclosed, having an adjustable frame, straps for holding electrodes against the head, each strap fastened to the headband by an adjustable support, and the supports having weights removably coupled thereto such that gravity pulls the headband down against the electrodes. The headband may be used for transcranial electrical stimulation treatment or other treatment by electrodes. Further disclosed is a method of retaining electrodes on a patient's head, having the steps of positioning a headband having straps on the head, tightening the headband and straps, inserting electrodes between the straps of the headband and the head, mounting weights to bias the headband downwardly, and loosening the straps for greater comfort. The headband and straps may have markings to facilitate placement according to an electrode marking system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2012Publication date: May 22, 2014Applicant: NorDocs Technologies Inc.Inventors: Paul Gardin, Daniel Shapiro, Patrick D.H. Williams, Kevin J. Bailey, Mathieu Lemay, Shazib Shaukat, Stanley Shapiro, Brian Dressler

Patent number: 6846035Abstract: An adjustable cab extender assembly (200) adapted to couple to a vehicle (100) including a tractor (102) coupled to a trailer (104) is provided. The assembly includes a dynamic cab extender (206) adjustable in length and operable to be disposed in a gap (106) extending between the tractor and the trailer. The assembly includes a speed sensor (268) operable to sense a speed of the vehicle. The assembly also includes a control system (208) coupled in signal communication with the speed sensor and coupled to the dynamic cab extender. The control system is operable to automatically adjust a longitudinal length of the dynamic cab extender to selectively adjust a proximity of a trailing edge of the dynamic cab extender relative to a front end of the trailer when the sensed speed exceeds a selected speed. The control system may also place the dynamic cab extender in a stowed position.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2003Date of Patent: January 25, 2005Assignee: Paccar IncInventors: Alec C. Wong, David C. Warren, Wayne K. Simons, Timothy C. Hudsen, David M. Roni, Noelle M. Parlier, Brian Dressler, Steven J. Kirner
