  • Publication number: 20240073638
    Abstract: A method for self-calibrating a sound pickup process that uses a microphone array in a wearable device that also includes a loudspeaker, where the microphone array being in a physical arrangement with respect to the loudspeaker. The method obtains, for each of several microphones of the microphone array, one or more transfer functions that each represent a response of the microphone to sound from a position in an acoustic space. The method determines whether a physical arrangement of the microphone array with respect to the loudspeaker has changed and adjusts the transfer function, for at least one of the microphones of the several microphones, in response to determining that the current physical arrangement of the microphone array with respect to the loudspeaker has changed.

  • Publication number: 20200375473
    Abstract: A method for characterizing cardiac valves and prostheses. A method includes inducing cardiac stress. Transvalvular pressure gradient and transvalvular flow are measured while the stress is being induced. Valve function is determined based on the measured transvalvular pressure gradient and transvalvular flow. In some implementations, a transcatheter aortic valve implantation is performed responsive to the determination of valve function.

  • Patent number: 9692753
    Abstract: A system and method is presented for use of a password encode card to create multiple random passwords at a variety of computerized service providers. The encode card contains a plurality of ciphers, each assigned to a different service provider. Using only a single memorized master password, the user encodes the master password using the appropriate cipher and then uses the encoded password at that service provider. The card can be implemented as a plurality of substitution ciphers printed on a single card, or as an electronic card capable of either displaying a plurality of substitution ciphers or of implementing the plurality of ciphers on the inputted text of the master password.
