Publication number: 20100185110Abstract: Biological anomalies are detected and/or predicted by analyzing input biological or physical data using a data processing routine. The data processing routine includes a set of application parameters associated with biological data correlating with the biological anomalies. The data processing routine uses an algorithm to produce a data series, e.g., a PD2i data series. The data series is used to detect or predict the onset of the biological anomalies. To reduce noise in the data series, the slope is set to a predetermined number if it is less than a predetermined value. To further reduce noise, a noise interval within the data series is determined and, if the noise interval is within a predetermined range, the data series is divided by another predetermined number, and new values are produced for the data series.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2010Publication date: July 22, 2010Applicant: Nonlinear Medicine, Inc.Inventor: James Skinner

Publication number: 20100070901Abstract: Systems and methods for in-line viewing of files of multiple types, including files in mixed file formats, utilizing a single viewer or player are described. A single viewer is capable of displaying multiple file formats of both static and dynamic nature. The viewer may be used to display a wide variety of content accessible from a single web page, and web designers need only embed the single viewer to access many content types. The viewer receives a selection of a file to access and identifies the file type of the selected file. The viewer provides proper controls associated with the file type and displays or provides other access to the selected file. Thus the viewer provides a more streamlined experience to the user and simplifies accessing files of various file types. The viewer may be embedded in a web page or may be provided in a pop-up or modal window.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2008Publication date: March 18, 2010Inventors: James Skinner, Michael Hewitt, Doug Weber, Gib Reimschussel, D.

Publication number: 20060183981Abstract: A method for determining whether a subject has knowledge of a stimulus is described. The method includes generating a sensory signal corresponding to the stimulus for receipt by the subject, and collecting a cerebral indicator signal involuntarily generated in response to the subject processing the sensory signal. Identifying whether degrees of freedom in the cerebral indicator signal of the subject either increased or decreased is also completed. It is determined whether the subject has knowledge of the stimulus depending on whether the degrees of freedom increased or decreased. In addition, the method associates knowledge of the stimulus with the subject if it is determined that the subject has knowledge of the stimulus.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2006Publication date: August 17, 2006Inventor: James Skinner
