  • Method for processing a series of cardiac rhythm signals (RR) and the use thereof for analysing a cardiac rhythm variability, in particular for assessing a patient's pain or stress
    Patent number: 8352020
    Abstract: The inventive method for processing an RR series comprises a plurality of (RR) samples representing time intervals (dti) between two successive heart beats or the inverse (1/dti) of said time intervals consists in selecting (N) (RRi) samples in a main time window having a predetermined length (n), in cutting said main window into (m) subwindows (Fj), in calculating an intermediate parameter (A1) for each subwindow (Fj) on the basis of the (RRi) samples contained in the subwindow (Fj) and in calculating a final parameter as a function of the intermediate parameters (Aj). The invention is used for analysing a cardiac rhythm variability, in particular for assessing a patient's pain or stress.

  • AUTOMATIC PILOT DEVICE AND METHOD WITH INSTINCTIVE TARGET LOCK-ON
    Publication number: 20090138146
    Abstract: The invention relates to automatic pilot devices on board aircraft, and more particularly aircraft of the maritime patrol or surveillance type. The invention is a device able to be engaged instinctively, calculating at least two flight path modes, the first one being a horizontal circular flight path around a location point and the second one being the overflying of a location point according to a heading chosen on a horizontal line, and making it possible to direct the aircraft automatically according to these two flight paths.
