Abstract: A method and system for connecting an impaired nervous system of a patient to a destination target of a muscle, group of muscles, or robotic device. A command module implanted within the patient's body: (i) samples analog electrical neural signals generated by neurons or nerve fibers of the patient; (ii) processes the neural signals to generate spatial digital data in sample matrices; (iii) processes multiple consecutive sample matrices in real time using sliding window method to generate a time dependent window matrix; (iv) and matches the window matrix to source movement templates to generate high-level movement command(s) which is wirelessly transmitted to driver module(s) within the patient's body and attached to the destination target. The driver module matches the high-level movement commands to destination movement templates to generate a digital stimulus. The digital stimulus is translated into an electrical stimulus which is applied to the destination target.

Abstract: A video processing engine terminates frequency-modulated video signals transported over the so-called third mile (the network segment from the head-end to the access network) for delivery to an end user. In various network architectures, these signals are received at a central office (CO), for the telephone companies; at a fiber node (FN), for MSOs; or at a satellite dish, for satellite networks. By terminating these signals appropriately, high-quality video service can be delivered efficiently to customers over the last mile. Systems and methods for processing these video streams as well as various network architectures that allow the network providers to offer cost effective video services to the mass market are described.
