  • Patent number: 7834802
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, devices, and apparatus to determine if a clothed individual is carrying a suspicious, concealed object. This determination includes establishing data corresponding to an image of the individual through interrogation with electromagnetic radiation in the 200 MHz to 1 THz range. In one form, image data corresponding to intensity of reflected radiation and differential depth of the reflecting surface is received and processed to detect the suspicious, concealed object.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 28, 2008
    Date of Patent: November 16, 2010
    Assignee: Battelle Memorial Institute
    Inventors: Paul E. Keller, Thomas E. Hall, Douglas L. McMakin

  • Patent number: 6876322
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, devices, and apparatus to interrogate a clothed individual with electromagnetic radiation to determine if a concealed weapon is being carried. This determination includes establishing data corresponding to an image of the individual and processing data sets corresponding to a number of spatial frequency representations of different image portions to evaluate if the concealed weapon is present.

  • Publication number: 20020164070
    Abstract: Several approaches are provided for designing algorithms that allow for fast retrieval, classification, analysis or other processing of data, with minimal expert knowledge of the data being analyzed, and further, with minimal expert knowledge of the math and science involved in building classifications and performing other statistical data analysis. Further, methods of analyzing data are provided where the information being analyzed is not easily susceptible to quantitative description.

  • Patent number: 5775330
    Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for collecting EEG data, reducing the EEG data into coefficients, and correlating those coefficients with a depth of unconsciousness or anesthetic depth, and which obtains a bounded first derivative of anesthetic depth to indicate trends. The present invention provides a developed artificial neural network based method capable of continuously analyzing EEG data to discriminate between awake and anesthetized states in an individual and continuously monitoring anesthetic depth trends in real-time. The present invention enables an anesthesiologist to respond immediately to changes in anesthetic depth of the patient during surgery and to administer the correct amount of anesthetic.

  • Patent number: 5680866
    Abstract: The present invention is a method of diagnosing a cardiopulmonary condition in an individual by comparing data from a progressive multi-stage test for the individual to a non-linear multi-variate model, preferably a recurrent artificial neural network having sensor fusion. The present invention relies on a cardiovascular model developed from physiological measurements of an individual. Any differences between the modeled parameters and the parameters of an individual at a given time are used for diagnosis.
