  • System & Method for Measurement of Respiratory Rate and Tidal Volume Through Feature Analysis of Breath Sounds to Detect Disease State
    Publication number: 20210369136
    Abstract: A system and method using a microphone to collect sound data produced by a potential patient's respiration and speech. The system preferably uses a microphone on a portable electronic device—such as a smart phone. The analysis of the collected data is preferably performed locally—such as by a software application running on the smartphone. The software is used to analyze the data and therefore determine and track useful parameters such as respiration rate and respiratory tidal volume. The software also analyzes phonation patterns. Using the parameters, the inventive system can detect the onset of respiratory distress.

  • Policy Governed Software Agent System and Method of Operation
    Publication number: 20190068451
    Abstract: A system and method for deploying software agents in a policy-governed environment. The use of over-arching policies to control the actions and interactions of the software agents preserves desirable agent autonomy without allowing unwanted and potentially unpredictable (or at least difficult-to-predict) agent behavior. The system allows the agents to be deployed in a high-assurance environment.
