  • Patent number: 12537018
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention may relate to prediction of a mental health score, representing a mental condition of a speaker. Embodiments of the invention may analyze speech by receiving an audio data element representing a discussion; extracting a first set of audio segments pertaining to speech of a first speaker in the discussion; analyzing the first set of audio segments to produce a set of audio features; and applying a machine-learning (ML) model on the set of audio features, to predict a mental health score, representing a mental condition of the first speaker. Embodiments of the invention may provide technical means for supporting psychiatric assessment of mental disorders such as depression and anxiety in an automatic, nondisruptive manner, e.g., without direct patient's collaboration, thereby increasing validity of the assessment.

  • Patent number: 11421465
    Abstract: A power closure actuator for powering a movable closure includes an output member configured to drive movement of the movable closure, a motor coupled through a gear reduction to drive the output member, and an integrated brake-clutch unit having an input configured to receive drive power from the electric motor. The brake-clutch unit provides independent braking and clutching between the electric motor and the output member via an electric brake actuator and an electric clutch actuator, respectively. Brake and clutch portions of the brake-clutch unit act on a rotor, and brake force can be maintained on the rotor without powering the brake actuator. A clutch disc is biased disengaged from the rotor. The integrated brake-clutch unit provides a drive state between the electric motor and the output member when the brake portion is released concurrently with the clutch portion establishing a power coupling between the clutch disc and the rotor.

  • Publication number: 20190388679
    Abstract: A method of analyzing performance of a brain stimulation tool is disclosed. The method comprises: obtaining encephalography data collected from a brain of a subject electrically stimulated by at least one of the electrode contacts of the brain stimulation tool; segmenting the data into a plurality of epochs, each corresponding to a single stimulation event generated by the brain stimulation tool; and applying a spatiotemporal analysis to the epochs so as to determine at least one of (i) location of the at least one electrode contact in the brain, and (ii) therapeutic effect of the at least one electrode contact.
