  • Publication number: 20230363734
    Abstract: Arrangements described herein relate to systems, apparatuses, and methods for categorizing a waveform that includes processing a signal containing ultrasound data about the waveform, identifying one or more morphological variables of the waveform based on the ultrasound data, identifying one or more categories that correspond to a range of combinations of the morphological variables, and categorizing the waveform as belonging to one of the one or more categories. In some arrangements, the method may further include visualizing the waveforms, determining a probability that the waveform belongs to each of the one or more categories, and/or displaying the probability that the waveform falls into each of the one or more categories. Morphological variables may include quantifying absolute peak onset, number/prominence of auxiliary peaks, and systolic canopy length.

  • Patent number: 10824871
    Abstract: Described is a system and method for generating a unique signature for a space. During operation, the system causes a mobile platform to make one or more passes through the space along a repeatable path. While moving through the space, the system captures an image of the space around the mobile platform. A filter is applied to the image to generate vertical bins, the vertical bins being one-dimensional vectors of the space around the mobile platform. The one-dimensional vectors are combined over time to create a two-dimensional trace, with the two-dimensional trace being a unique signature for the space.

  • Patent number: 10166394
    Abstract: Described is a system for automatically tuning the sensor feedback of a prosthetic device. The system comprises an electrode or plurality of electrodes in contact with a peripheral nerve of a user wearing a prosthetic device for administering the sensory feedback and an additional stimulus that evokes a muscle response in the user. A sensor is used to measure the muscle response. One or more processors generate a current stimulation pattern that encodes a posture of the prosthetic device. The current stimulation pattern is used in a spinal cord simulation to produce predicted muscle activations. Using the muscle response and the predicted muscle activations, an adjusted stimulation pattern is determined.

  • Patent number: 10096385
    Abstract: Described is a system for controlling epidural spinal cord stimulation. Using an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF), the system receives sensed physiological signals from a subject and, based on the sensed physiological signals, estimating an unobservable state of a target area on the subject. A central pattern generator is then used to generate a stimulation pattern based on the unobservable state. The stimulation pattern is applied to the target area (e.g., spinal cord) of the subject using an electrode array. Receiving feedback, the UKF continuously updates a model of the spinal cord, which results in adjustment of the stimulation pattern as necessary.

  • Patent number: 9349092
    Abstract: A neural model for reinforcement-learning and for action-selection includes a plurality of channels, a population of input neurons in each of the channels, a population of output neurons in each of the channels, each population of input neurons in each of the channels coupled to each population of output neurons in each of the channels, and a population of reward neurons in each of the channels. Each channel of a population of reward neurons receives input from an environmental input, and is coupled only to output neurons in a channel that the reward neuron is part of. If the environmental input for a channel is positive, the corresponding channel of a population of output neurons are rewarded and have their responses reinforced, otherwise the corresponding channel of a population of output neurons are punished and have their responses attenuated.
