Abstract: Cerebral vasospasm is detected in subarachnoid hemorrhage patients by use of highly sensitive accelerometers in contact with the head. Acceleration data can be investigated in the time domain, typically averaged over a number of heartbeats, to detect a drop in energy during diastole, and diastole/systole ratio can be compared with known data of normal and vasospastic patients. Data from one or more accelerometers can also be subjected to FFT and optionally plotted in a waterfall diagram, to observe the appearance of energy at higher frequencies as 50 Hz to 1000 Hz, also indicating vasospasm.

Abstract: Vascular conditions are detected non-invasively in the human body using a collection of information from small local regions of the vasculature, or from a specific signature or “BrainPulse” that can be derived from a patient's heartbeat-induced cranium movements. An array of accelerometers or other sensors are engaged against the head of a patient and skull movements, preferably under 100 Hz, are recorded. Vibration signatures of vessel structures such as branches, aneurysms, stenosis, etc. using random, periodic, band limited or transient analysis provides a library for further processing. The signature library is used to localize the origin of the recognized vascular feature, and the localized feature is presented to the physician in a clinically relevant manner.

Abstract: The system and method for providing a calculating the incremental value of an online advertising campaign. The incrementality is generated measuring the viewability for every impression delivered during a digital display advertising campaign, or for a representative sample of impressions and comparing a performance measure (e.g., a conversion rate) between viewable and non-viewable impressions to provide a direct measurement of the incremental effect (i.e. the value) of the viewable impression(s) so as to automatically value the online advertising campaign thereby.

Abstract: Vascular conditions are detected non-invasively in the human body using a collection of information from small local regions of the vasculature. An array of accelerometers or other sensors are attached to the head or other points of interest of a patient and blood flow sounds are recorded. Vibration signatures of vessel structures such as branches, aneurysms, stenosis, etc. using random, periodic, band limited or transient analysis provides a library for further processing. The signature library is used to localize the origin of the recognized vascular feature, and the localized feature is presented to the physician in a clinically relevant manner.

Abstract: Vascular conditions are detected non-invasively in the human body using a collection of acoustic information from small local regions of the vasculature.

Abstract: A porous wall hollow glass microsphere is provided having a diameter range of between 1 to 200 microns, a density of between 1.0 to 2.0 gm/cc, a porous-wall structure having wall openings defining an average pore size of between 10 to 1000 angstroms, and which contains therein a hydrogen storage material. The porous-wall structure facilitates the introduction of a hydrogen storage material into the interior of the porous wall hollow glass microsphere. In this manner, the resulting hollow glass microsphere can provide a membrane for the selective transport of hydrogen through the porous walls of the microsphere, the small pore size preventing gaseous or liquid contaminants from entering the interior of the hollow glass microsphere.

Abstract: A hollow glass microsphere is provided having a diameter range of between 1 to 140 microns, a density of between 0.05 to 0.50 gm/cc, a porous-wall structure having wall openings defining an average pore size of between 10 to 1000 angstroms, and which contains therein a hydrogen storage material. The porous-wall structure facilitates the introduction of a hydrogen storage material into the interior of the hollow glass microsphere. Thereafter, a barrier coating may be applied and/or the microspheres are processed to alter or reduce the effective pore size. In this manner, the hollow glass microsphere can provide a membrane for the selective transport of hydrogen through the porous walls of the microsphere, the small pore size preventing gaseous or liquid contaminants from entering the interior of the hollow glass microsphere.
