  • Patent number: 11616465
    Abstract: An electronic data processor comprises a data storage device in communication with the electronic data processor. A control module stored in the data storage device, the control module comprising software instructions for execution by the electronic data processor to change dynamically the fundamental switching frequency of the control signals to reduce electromagnetic noise within a target frequency band if the fundamental switching frequency is equal to or greater than a threshold fundamental switching frequency.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220061797
    Abstract: At least one swing value is determined responsive to a difference between maximum and minimum amplitude values of an auscultatory sound signal within a temporal region of a heart-cycle segment spanning an entire heart cycle of an auscultatory sound signal, wherein a location of at least one temporal region is responsive to a duration of the heart-cycle segment. S4 sound presence is detected responsive to ratio of S4SWING to S2SWING in relation an associated median value thereof from a population of test-subjects. A Support Vector Machine trained responsive to age, sex, S4 presence and a plurality of heart sound swing measures provides for detecting CAD. Unsupervised classification of an S3swing and median and mean values of a Short Time Fourier Transform within associated frequency intervals, based upon data from a plurality of heart cycles of a plurality of test-subject provides for detecting presence of an S3 sound.

  • Publication number: 20210338189
    Abstract: One or more auscultation sensors attached to the skin of an at-least-prospectively contagiously-infected patient are connected via a corresponding associated one or more sensor cables so as to provide for one or more health care practitioners to listen to auscultation sounds from the one or more auscultation sensors from a relatively safe distance, without a need for close proximity to the patient when listening.

  • Patent number: 11016049
    Abstract: An agricultural permittivity sensor has a drive electrode and a separate sense electrode. Both electrodes have surfaces that face the sensed material and the surfaces are co-planar. The drive electrode receives an excitation signal and generates an electric field that produces a current in the sense electrode. The current is indicative of a test weight of the sensed material.

  • Publication number: 20200245889
    Abstract: An auscultatory sound signal from at least one auscultatory sound-or-vibration sensor is segmented into a plurality of associated heart cycle segments responsive to associated R-peak locations of an electrographic envelope signal representing an envelope response to an even power of an associated electrographic signal from an ECG sensor. A representation an envelope responsive to an even power of said auscultatory sound signal within said at least one heart cycle is locally modeled about at least a second peak to provide for locating the start of diastole of said at least one heart cycle.
