Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for determining one or more attributes of at least one target based on eigenspace analysis of radar signals are presented. In some embodiments, a subset of eigenvectors to use for forming a signal or noise subspace is identified based on principal component analysis. In some embodiments, the subset of eigenvectors is identified based on estimating the total number of targets using a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) or other spectral analysis technique. In some embodiments, a DFT is used to identify areas of interest in which to perform eigenspace analysis. In some embodiments, a DFT is used to estimate one attribute of a target, and eigenspace analysis is performed to estimate a different attribute of the target, with the results being combined to generate a multi-dimensional representation of a field of view.

Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to liquid-based workflows for strain engineering. In strain engineering, cells undergo a modification process to acquire a desired change or changes in the cells. Some of the cells accept the change or changes and some do not. Provided herein are liquid-based methods for selecting the population of cells that have accepted the change or changes. Also provided herein are liquid-based methods for removing markers from transformed cells and liquid-based methods for isolating clonally pure populations of cells.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to radar-based signaling for detecting, measuring, and/or characterizing a target object. An electronic device may transmit a plurality of detection signals and receive a plurality of reflection signals reflected from the target object. The electronic device then processes the plurality of reflection signals to extract one or more parameters of the target object. Based on the reflection signals, the device can measure and/or characterize the target object, e.g., to obtain a heart rate and/or breathing rate. In other examples, the device may determine whether the reflection signals indicate human vital signs, such as a heart rate or breathing. The electronic device may then adjust at least one transmission parameter based on whether human vital signs are detected at the target object, and transmit the adjusted signal using the transmission parameter. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for automatically identifying emotional states of a person in real-time based on physiological responses by exposing a person to a stimulus, measuring the person's physiological response to the stimulus, and comparing the measured physiological response to a known baseline physiological. The deviation of the measured physiological response from the baseline physiological response is determinative of the emotional state.

Abstract: A health-state detection system configured to receive medical measurement data for one or more patients; a care manager interface for communicating with care managers; a user interface for receiving rules related to each type of medical measurement data; processors for parametrize the rules to generate a set of parameterized rules that define shifts, drifts and trends in the medical measurement data, determine a baseline for each type of medical measurement data, execute the parameterized rules for newly received medical measurement data against the baseline to detect shifts, drifts or trends in the medical measurement data, determine the magnitudes and directions of the detected shifts, drifts or trends, correlate the magnitudes and directions of the shifts, drifts, or trends detected with changes in the health state of one or more patients, and provide customizable notifications, alerts to care managers based at least in the past on the detected health state changes.

Abstract: This invention provides methods for non-invasively monitoring patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and for reporting and/or warning of changes in the patients' status. The methods gather physiological data and combine the data into parameters by which the severity of CHF can be judged. Preferred parameters include periodic breathing and heart rate variability. This invention also provides systems for carrying out these methods which permit patients to engage in their normal daily activities. Preferably, physiological data analysis is performed by a portable electronic unit carried by the patients.

Abstract: A system for determining dynamically any given input numeric sequence potential match against all available numeric sequences from a database, whereby the dynamic method reports the match or matches with the highest matching digits. The input numeric sequence(s) and the numeric sequences from databases can be of any length and therefore the input numeric sequence may be different in length to those numeric sequences from databases, yet the method will detect and report those database numeric sequences that provided the highest number of digits matching against any given input numeric sequence.
