Publication number: 20250169739Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for reconstructing spatially resolved electrical activity in the brain. In some example embodiments, EEG and MRI data are used to estimate volumetric distribution of electrostatic potential inside the MRI domain throughout the entire brain. Spatially and temporally varying field estimates can be generated using a brain wave model which is based on weakly evanescent transverse cortical wave propagation and constrained using the tissue properties gained from the MRI data. The disclosed techniques enable brain activity imaging with high spatial and temporal resolution, thereby providing a tool for assessing functional brain states and monitoring changes in those states in relation to various normal and pathological conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2024Publication date: May 29, 2025Inventors: Lawrence Robert Frank, Vitaly Ludwig Galinsky

Publication number: 20220414560Abstract: An Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) rating is provided for an entity with multiple assets. A plurality of metrics are defined. A value for each metric for each asset is obtained if available, or is set to 0. Similarly, a value for each metric for a benchmark is obtained if available, or is set to 0. For each metric and for each asset, a weight is calculated as a difference between the corresponding value of such metric for the asset and the corresponding value of such metric for the benchmark. For each metric, the weights thereof are combined to produce a composite weight across all assets. For each composite weight, a point value is assigned thereto based on a corresponding risk model. The point values are aggregated, and the aggregate is adjusted based on a perceived risk for the entity to produce the ESG rating.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2021Publication date: December 29, 2022Applicant: Impact Cubed Limited, a Registered Private Company of the Bailiwick of JERSEYInventors: Lawrence Robert ABELE, Antti Kalervo SAVILAAKSO

Patent number: 10758910Abstract: A horizontal grinding machine includes a frame, a feed hopper that receives material to be processed, and a feed conveyor that moves material to be processed in a processing direction. A grinding cylinder rotates about a generally horizontal grinding axis. A feed roller assembly is mounted on the frame at the rear end of the feed hopper and in front of the grinding cylinder. The feed roller assembly includes a feed roller that rotates about a generally horizontal axis in a first direction that urges the material towards the grinding cylinder and a second direction that urges the material away from the grinding cylinder. A controller is operatively connected to the feed roller and to the feed conveyor and controls the rotational speed of the feed roller and the speed of the feed conveyor to obtain a predetermined ratio of feed roller rotational speed to feed conveyor speed.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2016Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Astec Industries, Inc.Inventors: David Lynn Harrison, Lawrence Robert Cumming, Glenn Ford Bittrolf
