  • Publication number: 20210022620
    Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, systems, methods, and media for estimating compensatory reserve and predicting hemodynamic decompensation using physiological data are provided. In some embodiments, a system for estimating compensatory reserve is provided, the system comprising: a processor programmed to: receive a blood pressure waveform of a subject; generate a first sample of the blood pressure waveform with a first duration; provide the sample as input to a trained CNN that was trained using samples of the first duration from blood pressure waveforms recorded from subjects while decreasing the subject's central blood volume, each sample being associated with a compensatory reserve metric; receive, from the trained CNN, a first compensatory reserve metric based on the first sample; and cause information indicative of remaining compensatory reserve to be presented.

  • Patent number: 9300434
    Abstract: Zero sum signaling schemes utilize coding across data words to allow the use of single-ended buffers while mitigating simultaneous switching noise (SSN) in digital systems. Zero sum signaling may include balanced zero sum coding (target disparity=0) and nearly balanced zero sum coding (target disparity=±d). Zero sum signaling may reduce simultaneous switching noise as compared to single-ended signaling while allowing a reduction in the number of physical channels (e.g. circuit board traces) by nearly a factor of two as compared to differential signaling.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8446165
    Abstract: A transmission line on a printed wiring board is tested and printed wiring board manufacturing variability is assessed. A response of the transmission line to a signal test pattern is measured. A network including a plurality of components connected by the transmission line is then simulated. The simulated network is based on the measured scattering parameters and virtual models representative of each of the components in the network. A system-level output response of the simulated network to a simulated input signal is analyzed, and the printed wiring board is characterized based on a comparison of the system-level output response to a printed wiring board performance metric threshold.
