Publication number: 20210386319Abstract: It is an object of the invention to improve a user's breathing for a specific application (e.g. diagnostic imaging, falling asleep improvement (shortening sleep onset), delivery, tinnitus control therapy, CORD, blood pressure control). This object is achieved by a breathing adaptation system configured for influencing a breathing parameter of a user's breathing pattern in order to meet a goal of decreasing or increasing the influenced breathing parameter to a certain extent in a user specific manner. The breathing adaptation system comprises a sensor, configured for monitoring a current value of the influenced breathing parameter of the user. The breathing adaptation system further comprises a feedback unit configured for providing feedback to the user about a preferred value of the influenced breathing parameter, wherein the preferred value is different from the current value of the influenced breathing parameter (310).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2019Publication date: December 16, 2021Inventors: MARA HOUBRAKEN, RAYMOND VAN EE, CLIFF JOHANNES ROBERT HUBERTINA LASCHET, IRIS TIMMERS, GIUSEPPE COPPOLA, BAS ARNOLD JAN BERGEVOET

Patent number: 7583693Abstract: The invention provides signal coding, wherein the signal is source coded to obtain a coded data stream, and source significance information (SSI) is included into the coded data stream, the source significance information (SSI) indicating desired protection rates of respective parts of the coded data stream. In this way, a channel encoder may obtain the source significance information (SSI) from the coded data stream, which is advantageous in presence of intermediate network layers. Preferably, the coded data stream comprises respective packets, the being included in respective headers associated with the respective packets, a given header indicating desired protection rates for respective parts (pin) of the associated packet. In order to provide easy detection of the source significance information (SSI), a first header (SSI1) is placed at a beginning of the coded data stream. Alternatively, the header (SSI1) is provided with an identifier.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2001Date of Patent: September 1, 2009Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Stefano Olivieri, Giuseppe Coppola

Patent number: 7552618Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that include a thermal desorption unit, a chromatographic column, and an interface device between the unit and the column. The interface device controls the fluid flowing into the column, such as by providing additional carrier gas to maintain a substantially constant gas flow or velocity, by proving a controlled temperature increase, or by venting a portion of the gas received from the thermal desorption unit, thereby removing the dependence on the thermal desorption unit for such control. In some embodiments, the interface is a chromatographic injector. In certain embodiments, a transfer line from the desorption unit is coupled to the same port of the interface device as the chromatographic column. In some of these embodiments, this is accomplished by employing a special adaptor.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2007Date of Patent: June 30, 2009Assignee: PerkinElmer LAS, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Tipler, Heidi Grecsek, Frank DeLorenzo, Giuseppe Coppola

Patent number: 7046373Abstract: Interferometric system for the simultaneous measurement of the index of refraction and of the thickness of transparent materials with a single measurement operation. The system employs an interferometer as a “shear interferometer” with the advantage of varying the wavelength of the luminous source. The index of refraction and the thickness are determined in two phases. Firstly it is determined the optical path analyzing the displacement of interferometric signal obtained by orthogonal incidence; successively, by means of phase recovery techniques and the previously determined optical path value, it is possible to obtain the index of refraction of the material. From the knowledge of the index and of the optical path it is obtained the material thickness.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2003Date of Patent: May 16, 2006Assignee: Consiglio Nazionale Delle RicercheInventors: Giuseppe Coppola, Pietro Ferraro, Mario Iodice, Sergio De Nicola
