Patent number: 9001684Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system are provided for computing link supportability in a WCDMA communications system. For example, the method can be used to calculate link supportability of a transponder in satellite communications system (e.g. MUOS) in a user-to-base direction. This method can include expressing a carrier signal to noise ratio spectral density for a communication link of interest in terms of a transponder input power of the communication link of interest, a spectral overlap factor representative of one or more interfering communication links, and a transponder input power of the one or more interfering communication links. Assumptions and approximations can be made to simplify the spectral density expression in order to reduce a dimensionality of terms used in the computation of the expression. As such, in reducing dimensionality, the expression becomes a manageable computation for WCDMA communication systems to evaluate.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2012Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: The MITRE CorporationInventor: James Wade Marshall

Publication number: 20130213124Abstract: A method to determine a performance characteristic of an exhaust system of an engine, where the exhaust system includes an exhaust gas sensor that outputs an exhaust gas signal. A combustion event in a cylinder is fueled at an air-fuel ratio selected to produce exhaust gas that is expected to be distinguishable by the exhaust gas sensor from exhaust gas produced by other combustion events, and used to determine the performance characteristic. The performance characteristic may be an exhaust gas transport time of the exhaust system, a sensitivity characteristic of the exhaust gas sensor, or a fueling correction value necessary to restore fueling to, for example, stoichiometry. Such a method is useful to detect physical changes in the exhaust system such as relocating the exhaust gas sensor, or detect if the exhaust gas sensor is damaged or not operating properly.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2012Publication date: August 22, 2013Applicant: DELPHI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: KENNETH M.

Patent number: 8157848Abstract: A system provides early prediction of heart tissue malfunction and electrophysiological pathology by determining anatomical tissue impedance characteristics for use in medical patient monitoring and treatment decision making. At least one repository of data indicates multiple predetermined expected impedance value ranges for corresponding multiple impedance measurements taken at multiple particular different sites of at least one anatomical organ. An impedance measurement processor automatically determines whether multiple measured impedance values taken at multiple particular different sites of an anatomical organ using an invasive catheter are within corresponding multiple predetermined expected impedance value ranges derived from the at least one repository. An output processor automatically communicates data comprising at least one message to a destination.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2009Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.Inventors: Hongxuan Zhang, Detlef W.

Patent number: 8145293Abstract: A medical imaging system adaptively acquires anatomical images. The system includes a synchronization processor for providing a heart rate related synchronization signal derived from a patient cardiac function blood flow related parameter. The synchronization signal enables adaptive variation in timing of acquisition within successive heart cycles of each individual image frame of multiple sequential image frames. An image acquisition device initiates acquisition of anatomical images of a portion of patient anatomy in response to the synchronization signal. A display processor presents images, acquired by the acquisition device and synchronized with the synchronization signal, to a user on a reproduction device. The image acquisition device adaptively selects image pixel resolution of individual image frames of the multiple sequential image frames in response to data identifying a heart cycle segment so that successively acquired image frames have different image pixel resolution within a single heart cycle.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2009Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.Inventors: Hongxuan Zhang, Harold James Wade, Jinghua Chen

Publication number: 20120059269Abstract: A system determines measured patient values for use in clinical calculations using an electronic form including, a first area including data fields for presenting values of the parameters associated with a first part of a cardiac catheterization study of a patient and a second area including data fields for presenting values of the parameters associated with a different second part of a cardiac catheterization study of the patient. A user interface enables a user to copy at least one of the parameters comprising a measured value from the first area to the second area as a substitute value eliminating a need for a re-measurement of the value. A calculation processor automatically calculates a cardiac flow value for incorporation in the second area in response to the measured value being copied into the second area.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2011Publication date: March 8, 2012Applicant: SIEMENS MEDICAL SOLUTIONS USA, INC.Inventors: Hongxuan Zhang, Harold James Wade, Gene Moy, Anthony Lawrence

Publication number: 20120016251Abstract: A system for respiration or cardiac condition characterization and abnormality detection includes an interface that receives data representing a signal indicating concentration of carbon dioxide in patient gases over multiple signal cycles. A signal processor uses the received data in determining multiple amplitude related characteristic values. A comparator compares at least one of the amplitude related characteristic values or a value derived from the amplitude related characteristic values, with a threshold value to provide a comparison indicator. A patient monitor in response to the comparison indicator indicating an amplitude related characteristic value or a value derived from the amplitude related characteristic values, exceeds the threshold value, generates an alert message associated with the threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2011Publication date: January 19, 2012Applicant: SIEMENS MEDICAL SOLUTIONS USA, INC.Inventors: Hongxuan Zhang, Detlef W.
