  • Publication number: 20240125625
    Abstract: A sensor assembly for a rotary sensor is provided. The sensor assembly comprises a sensor housing, a sensor shield, and a sensor. The sensor housing defines a cavity. The sensor shield is disposed within the cavity of the sensor housing and defines a slot along a length of the sensor shield. The sensor shield is composed of a highly permeable material. The sensor is disposed within the cavity and at least a portion of the sensor is positioned within the slot of the sensor shield. The sensor comprises a printed circuit board having a plurality of sensor elements disposed along an inner circumference of the printed circuit board in a radially outward direction, and each sensor element is positioned at an equal distance from each other.

  • Publication number: 20070299360
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention can provide systems and methods for analyzing and assessing dementia and dementia-type disorders by integrating the use of electroencephalography (EEG), neuropsychological or cognitive testing data, and cardiovascular risk factor data. Embodiments of the invention can provide systems and methods for early detection of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), vascular dementia (VAD), mixed dementia (AD and VAD), MCI, and other dementia-type disorders. Embodiments of the invention can provide some or all of the following improvements over conventional systems and methods, including: (1) Increased sensitivity, specificity, and overall accuracy; (2) Detection of AD, VAD and mixed dementia; and (3) Accurate detection of mild dementia and some cases of mild cognitive impairment in addition to the detection of moderate to severe dementia.
