  • Patent number: 10058077
    Abstract: A system and method for quantitatively assessing the changes in control of asymmetric locomotor behavior of an animal comprising analyzing the phase modulation in response to imposed asymmetric stepping tasks for quantitatively assessing changes in control of asymmetric locomotor behavior. A walkway gait device is provided comprising an elevated grid having at least one platform having a face and at least two or more pegs located in front or back of said platform, wherein each peg has a pressure sensor or switch in communication with a detection unit for capturing the pressure detected by one or more of the pressure sensors or switches. Preferably, the grid of the walkway gait device has at least three platforms to form a closed path loop.

  • Publication number: 20120303506
    Abstract: A system and method for minimizing the purchase costs to a buyer of Units in a multiple seller/single buyer auction environment are described. The method includes presenting sellers of Units with a buyer's demand and an initial per Unit price offer. Seller(s) may accept the offer by transmitting a quantity of Units to be associated with the acceptance. If no acceptance of the offer is received, or the total acceptances are less than the demand, the per Unit price offer may be incrementally increased. As acceptances are received, the demand may be reduced by the quantities associated with the acceptances and the remaining demand published to the auction participants. The process continues until the buyer's demand is filled or a maximum per Unit price is reached. If a maximum per Unit price is reached before the demand has been filled, some embodiments may publish a “last call” per Unit price.

  • Publication number: 20050138454
    Abstract: A wake-up reset circuit is provided that generates a reset signal to a digital circuit upon a wake-up event. The wake-up reset circuit places the digital circuit into a known reset condition upon wake-up, even if a brown out condition occurs which may have caused unstable and unknown logic states in sequential circuit elements, e.g., volatile memory, flip flops and/or latching circuits. The wake-up reset circuit draws substantially no current when not generating the reset signal.
