Abstract: Methods of providing neuromodulation therapy to a patient are disclosed herein. In particular, methods of applying deep brain stimulation (DB S) for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) and related disorders are disclosed. Aspects of the methods involve using stimulation waveforms having a first polarity (e.g., cathodic stimulation) to determine an optimum arrangement of electrodes for providing the therapy (i.e., identifying a sweet-spot for stimulation). Therapy is then provided using the optimum arrangement of electrodes to deliver stimulation waveforms having the opposite polarity (e.g., anodic stimulation).

Abstract: A testing method for testing a plurality of devices under test (DUT) includes transmitting first testing routine signals from a first backend controller to a testing front end module via a wired data connection between the first backend controller and a first testing signal interface of the testing front end module, transmitting second testing routine signals from a second backend controller to the testing front end module via a wired data connection between the second backend controller and a second testing signal interface of the testing front end module, prioritizing one of the first and second testing routine signals according to predefined priority criteria in the testing front end module, and generating testing signals in the testing front end module on the basis of the prioritized testing routine signals.

Abstract: The invention is related to a smart testing apparatus and preferably a method for testing at least a first DUT and a second DUT using a mobile communications testing device. The method comprises the steps of determining, whether a first RF test signal from/to the first DUT interferes with a second RF test signal from/to the second DUT. It determines, whether the second RF test signal from/to second DUT interferes with the first RF test signal from/to the first DUT. It predetermines, whether at least measuring the first measuring result obtained by applying the first RF test signal is disturbed above a first disturbance threshold value. It predetermines, whether at least a second measuring result obtained by applying the second RF test signal is disturbed above a second disturbance threshold value.

Abstract: A method for testing multiple mobile phones performs the testing of a receiving characteristic of each mobile phone in a cyclical sequence of several first measuring tasks. The receiving characteristic of multiple mobile phones in multiple first measuring tasks is tested in parallel.

Abstract: A test system for testing a plurality of devices under test (DUTs) is provided. The test system comprises a test signal generator configured to generate test signals to be transmitted to the DUTs, wherein the test signals comprise at least one synchronization signal. The test signal generator is configured to broadcast the at least one synchronization signal to the DUTs. It is thereby possible to simultaneously test more than one DUT.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a calibration method and a calibration arrangement for a RF test apparatus for testing a RF device under test. Instead, a calibration board is provided and connected to each of the cables of the RF test apparatus. A calibration board is configured to provide a plurality of connection loops by connecting the input/output channel terminals of the test apparatus one after the other with each other. This results to a bunch of different connection loops. Then a physical parameter, such as the attenuation over frequency, is measured for each of these connection loops. Since each physical parameter can be described by a single equation, this results to an amount of different equations which form an equation system. The idea underlying the present invention is that the amount of equations of this equation system, which amount corresponds to the different connection loops, is at least equal or higher than the amount of unknown parameters of the equation system.
