  • Patent number: 12654015
    Abstract: A stimulation system may include a sensor configured to detect a physiological signal of a user, the physiological signal having a biomarker therein associated with a disorder of the user; a stimulator configured to deliver electrical stimulation to the user; and a hub device configured to receive the physiological signal from the sensor and to output a control signal to the stimulator. The control signal may cause the stimulator to deliver electrical stimulation to the user according to a stimulation protocol, the stimulation protocol treating the disorder. The hub device may be configured to output the control signal based on the biomarker of the received physiological signal. The hub device may be configured to generate another control signal for treating another disorder based on a biomarker not included in the physiological signal received from the sensor.

  • Publication number: 20250359800
    Abstract: A garment is worn on an anatomical region, with electrodes arranged on the garment to contact skin of the anatomical region. An EMG amplifier measures analog EMG data, and analog circuitry decomposes the analog EMG data into MUAPs. The analog circuitry may include an analog matrix processor performing analog matrix multiplication to transform the analog EMG data into source signals, an analog squarer circuit computing power signals by squaring the source signals, and delta sigma analog-to-digital converters converting the power signals to analog spike signals. The analog circuitry may include a neuromorphic chip to transform the analog EMG data into analog spike signals using blind source separation.

  • Patent number: 12337178
    Abstract: A combined closed-loop functional electrical stimulation (FES) and Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy system for treating neurological injuries. Detected EMG signals are used to determine movement (or intended movement) of an extremity. FES is then delivered to help evoke the movement, and VNS is delivered to enhance neuroplasticity and recovery.

  • Publication number: 20050034064
    Abstract: A method and system for creating and following drill links in a report are disclosed. A relational abstraction of a data store is defined, the definition including a plurality of views, scalar or aggregate fields associated with the views, and relations between the views. A report is generated that includes at least one drill link associated with a sequence of one or more relations originating at a base view of the relational abstraction. Upon selecting a drill link contained in a first report, information about the drill link is extracted from the report, and the extracted information and the destination view associated with the drill link are used to create a second report.

  • Publication number: 20050021538
    Abstract: A method and system for displaying a relational abstraction data store are disclosed. A relational abstraction of a data store is defined, the definition including a plurality of views, scalar or aggregate fields associated with the views, and relations between the views. The fields and relations associated with views are displayed and related to a base view through a sequence of relations. The fields displayed are constrained based upon the sequence of relations from the base view. Scalar fields are displayed where the sequence of relations does not contain a to-many relation. Aggregate fields are displayed where the sequence of relations contains at least one to-many relation. Distinct aggregate fields are displayed where the relation path sequence contains a to-many relation followed by a many-to-one relation. A field may be displayed with additional information indicating how, or whether, the fields may be used. The display of fields may be constrained in predetermined ways.
