Patent number: 11657311Abstract: A method and corresponding system identify missing interactions in incompletely known datasets represented as complex networks. The method identifies missing connections in a complex network. The method accesses an electronic representation of the network. The network includes nodes and links, the nodes represent entities, and the links represent interactions between the entities. For each pair of nodes not directly connected by a link, the method determines a number of paths connecting the pair of nodes and calculates a prediction score for the pair of nodes based on the number of paths connecting the pair of nodes. The method ranks the pairs of nodes based on the prediction scores, resulting in an ordered list of node pairs, and selects at least a subset of the pairs of nodes based on the ordered list of node pairs. The selected pairs of nodes represent missing connections in the network.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2018Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Northeastern UniversityInventor: Istvan Kovacs

Patent number: 11610649Abstract: A system and method for identification of key driver responsible for bringing changes in a microbial population is provided. The method involves construction of microbial association networks with each microbial taxa as nodes and their associations as edges and subsequent identification of crucial ‘driver’ nodes involved in the studied disease progression.

Patent number: 11540763Abstract: A control method and system for filtering power line interference is disclosed. The control method includes the following steps. First, ECG signals are pre-segmented and rectified; then the sinusoidal frequency, amplitude, and phase of the rectified segmented signals are extracted. These estimated sinusoidal parameters from each recorded channel are weighted by their individual signal to noise ratios before being averaged to achieve the optimal powerline frequency, amplitude, and phase. Based on these optimal sinusoidal parameters, the individual sinusoidal waveform is reconstructed and then is subtracted from the corresponding ECG segment, in order to obtain the clean ECG signals. This method of filtering the powerline interference through removal from recorded signals enables accurate measurement without any ringing effect that could lead to signal distortion issues.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2017Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: MAISONBURG (SHENZHEN) TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.Inventor: Tongsheng Zhang
