  • Patent number: 11942942
    Abstract: A level shifter circuit uses standard n-channel and p-channel transistors except for a pair of Lateral-Diffusion Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (LDMOS) transistors that have an added lateral diffusion under the gate between the source and the conduction channel, increasing the breakdown voltage. The source of each LDMOS transistor connects to a drain of a transient differential transistor that has its gate driven by a oneshot that generates a pulse after an input transition. After the pulse ends a holding differential transistor draws a smaller bias current from the LDMOS transistors. The source of each LDMOS transistor connects to the drain and gate of a p-channel sensing transistor that drives gates of mirror transistors generating mirrored currents to cross-coupled n-channel mirror transistors that drive both terminals of a bistable latch that holds the output using a floating ground between driver transistors of a Buck converter switched by the bistable latch.

  • Patent number: 11938324
    Abstract: A system and method for determining parameters of stimulation electrical signals for vagus nerve stimulation is discussed. Initial parameters of the signals are selected to provide reliable response to stimulation in physiological measurements of a subject. One or more physiological and neurological indices are determined based on a vagus nerve response model. For a selected vagus nerve activation, the electrical parameters of the signals are varied while monitoring changes in physiological parameters and values of the indices. The electrical parameters are varied until desired response in the physiological measurements and the values of the indices is observed. The electrical parameters are then stored as preferred parameters and can be used to activate the selected vagus nerve of the subject.

  • Publication number: 20240095496
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a system which facilitates construction of an ensemble of neural network-based classifiers that optimize a diversity metric. During operation, the system defines a diversity metric based on pairwise angles between decision boundaries of three or more affine classifiers. The system includes the diversity metric as a regularization term in a loss function optimization for designing a pair of mutually orthogonal affine classifiers of the three or more affine classifiers. The system trains one or more neural networks such that parameters of the one or more neural networks are consistent with parameters of the affine classifiers to obtain an ensemble of neural network-based classifiers which optimize the diversity metric. The system predicts an outcome for a testing data object based on the obtained ensemble of neural-network based classifiers which optimize the diversity metric.
