  • Patent number: 11318311
    Abstract: Described here is a deep brain stimulation (“DBS”) approach that targets several relevant nodes within brain circuitry, while monitoring multiple symptoms for efficacy. This approach to multi-symptom monitoring and stimulation therapy may be used as an extra stimulation setting in extant DBS devices, particularly those equipped for both stimulation and sensing. The therapeutic efficacy of DBS devices is extended by optimizing them for multiple symptoms (such as sleep disturbance in addition to movement disorders), thus increasing quality of life for patients.

  • Patent number: 11151493
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards infrastructure benchmarking based on dynamic cost modeling. Raw customer models that represent a customer's business system may be ingested into a benchmarking system and mapped to customer models based on one or more standard models. Benchmarking information that may be generated from one or more community models that are one or more customer models of other customers that may be available to the benchmarking application. Additional third-party information, such as, industry survey information may also be used for generating benchmarking information. The benchmarking information may be used to generate reports that include comparisons between one or more customer models and the one or more community models. The benchmarking information may be continuously updated based on changes to customer models and/or data, community models and/or data, external information.
