Publication number: 20240091099Abstract: A laryngeal nerve exciting system includes a collar holding a bridge, or a neckband, pressing soft tissue nerve exciters against a patient's neck providing a source of vibrations to stimulate the laryngeal nerve through the larynx. At least one exciter, and preferably two exciters, provide vibrations at preferably 70 Hz to 110 Hz and sufficiently strong to penetrate to the laryngeal nerve. The exciters may be held by the collar circling the neck, or by the neck band partially circling the neck. The therapy system includes a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and software which wirelessly connects, monitors, and triggers the device. The system may be used to treat dysphagia, chronic cough, and spasmodic dysphonia.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Alex Jolly, Cameron Jolly, Kristin King, Jose Comino, Daniel Carrillo, Wayne Fong, Kenneth Green

Patent number: 7379993Abstract: This invention uses Bayesian techniques to prioritize alerts or alert groups generated by intrusion detection systems and other information security devices, such as network analyzers, network monitors, firewalls, antivirus software, authentication services, host and application security services, etc. In a preferred embodiment, alerts are examined for the presence of one or more relevant features, such as the type of an attack, the target of an attack, the outcome of an attack, etc. At least a subset of the features is then provided to a real-time Bayes network, which assigns relevance scores to the received alerts or alert groups. In another embodiment, a network manager (a person) can disagree with the relevance score assigned by the Bayes network, and give an alert or alert group a different relevance score. The Bayes network is then modified so that similar future alerts or alert groups will be assigned a relevance score that more closely matches the score given by the network manager.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2001Date of Patent: May 27, 2008Assignee: SRI InternationalInventors: Alfonso De Jesus Valdes, Martin Wayne Fong, Phillip Andrew Porras

Publication number: 20040031214Abstract: A marker in the shape of a flat round disc that has varying permanent information (18) (for identifying different objects) imprinted upon the top of the marker that identifies the marker's use and areas for information to be permanently inscribed by a user with a portable electric en-graving tool or for temporary information to be placed thereon. The marker has a varying size holes(16), (17) through the center of the marker from top to bottom that allows different types and sizes of anchors to be used to attach the marker to varying surfaces or mounting devices or materials. The marker has an additional hole (15) for other means of attachment. The marker is solid and made of a plastic that will flex and give and is permanent and durable and is produced in varying colors for visibility and identifying different objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2002Publication date: February 19, 2004Inventors: Buddy Fong, Gerald Wayne Fong

Publication number: 20040024864Abstract: Preferred embodiments combine audit records with other relevant information to identify and track the users, processes or applications responsible for an attack. Information that identifies a user, process, or application may be associated with subsequent audit records related to the user or process session; this information may also be associated with IDS alerts related to the session. By reliably identifying the source of user and process sessions, the preferred embodiments make it possible to selectively target the sessions and applications that are related to an intrusion or attack.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2002Publication date: February 5, 2004Inventors: Phillip Andrew Porras, Martin Wayne Fong
