  • EXPERT SYSTEM TO FACILIATE SOURCE LOCALIZATION OF BRAIN ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY
    Publication number: 20160120480
    Abstract: A system or method can facilitate source localization of brain electrical activity. In one example, an expert system can be utilized to evaluate the source localization results and, based on the acceptability of the results, adjust a data preparation phase to provide for acceptable source localization.
    Type: Application

  • System, apparatus and method for diagnosing seizures
    Patent number: 8805484
    Abstract: Systems and methods can be used to help discriminate between epileptic and non-epileptic seizures based on a relationship between the postictal heart electrical activity and the preictal heart electrical activity. Also disclosed is an approach to determine an R-R interval by using a time-invariant complex wavelet transform.

  • Parameter estimation technique for closed loop system
    Patent number: 4959767
    Abstract: An identification technique that includes a closed loop parameter estimation algorithm for process gain, time constant and deadtime. The estimation algorithm uses time integrals of system variables responding to a step input. Proper selection of the integrals (control areas) results in a set of equations which are solvable for desired process parameters.
