Publication number: 20150342484Abstract: A method of examining a bodily function. A first set of frequency characteristics and amplitude characteristics of a first electrical signal deriving from rhythmic activity of a nerve in a living body is detected at a first condition. The nerve is stimulated to a second condition and a second set of frequency characteristics and amplitude characteristics of a second electrical signal deriving from the rhythmic activity of said nerve is detected. The fundamental frequency present in the frequency characteristics is identified. From the fundamental frequency the frequencies corresponding to a plurality of octaves of said fundamental frequency are calculated. The amplitude of said electrical signals at said octaves is identified. For said first signal a first amplitude ratio is calculated being the ratio of the amplitude difference between a first pair of said octaves, and the amplitude difference between a second pair of said octaves.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2012Publication date: December 3, 2015Applicant: BURKHARD FRANZ PTY LTDInventor: Burkhard Karl-Heinz Gunther FRANZ

Patent number: 6662131Abstract: A device and method for conditioning a periodic analog signal to predetermined positive and negative desired peak values. The signal is adjusted using multiplicative correcting steps, which modifies the signal amplitude. An additive correcting step adds to the signal, a constant which adjusts the signal level in a positive or negative direction. Upon detection of a current actual peak value, the difference between the actual peak value and the predetermined desired peak value is stepwise reduced by repeated adjustments of the signal using modifying steps within a part of a period of the signal, each modifying step includes exactly one multiplication and exactly one additive correcting step.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2001Date of Patent: December 9, 2003Assignee: Optolab Licensing GmbHInventors: Hans-Joachim Freitag, Heinz-Günther Franz, Andreas Schmidt
