An apparatus and method for rehabilitating patients and assessing tactile skills in response to visual stimuli generated from a portable neural training device. The device generates a visual output to elicit tactile response (hand movement) from the patient. The device preferably automatically adjusts the difficulty of a session in response to demonstrated patient skill level (i.e. combination of correct responses, speed, and accuracy of responses). The invention evaluates and challenges the patient to control tactile response, overcome visual perception difficulties, or practice simple multi-tasking or reasoning skills. The invention also provides information which is valuable to those administering the rehabilitation program or assessing patient skill and / or progress. By way of example the neural training device is described with an embodiment having discrete fixed keys and an embodiment utilizing a touch sensitive display screen.

An IP-based subscriber endpoint, for example a VoIP telephony device or an IP telephony user agent, is configured for retrieving recorded audio caller information in response to receiving an incoming call that includes a calling party identifier. The IP-based subscriber endpoint, in response to receiving the calling party identifier, generates an IP-based query via an IP network to an identifiable server for identification of a source of the recorded audio caller information corresponding to the calling party identifier. The IP-based subscriber endpoint outputs a request to the source of the recorded audio caller information, and plays the recorded audio caller information in response to reception via the IP-based network. Hence, the IP-based subscriber endpoint is able to retrieve existing recorded audio caller information from servers configured for storing recorded names, eliminating the necessity for text to speech resources.

A portable apparatus which allows a user to perform self-diagnostic evaluation of nerve sensory latency between a pair of epidermal locations proximal to nerve conduction paths. The device provides a simple and low-cost self-diagnostic apparatus which may be used for the detection and ongoing monitoring of sensory latency, such as sensory latency which is the result of carpal tunnel syndrome. The apparatus is powered by a single battery which provides power to all circuitry of the apparatus. Upon power activation, the device generates a series of high voltage stimulus pulses at an electrode in epidermal contact with the user / operator. The nerve response voltage is detected by a second electrode located along nerve pathway and the time delay between stimulus and response is displayed and periodically updated as each new response is detected.

A plurality of different circuit boards may be engaged to a socket positioned on a heat sink to increase or decrease emitted light. The socket will only electrically engage the circuit board if the heat sink will dissipate the anticipated heat generated by the circuit board.

A system for rendering color images on an electro-optic display when the electro-optic display has a color gamut with a limited palette of primary colors, and / or the gamut is poorly structured (i.e., not a spheroid or obloid).

Method and apparatus for utilizing wind energy within a structure with at least one external surface and at least one internal surface within an internal area that has at least one external surface separating said internal area from an outside that employ various channels to operate any wind powered device and / or any machine device connected with this wind powered device. This method and apparatus also includes structures built as single pressure vessels where the internal areas can communicate and operate at uniform pressures to withstand substantially higher wind pressure challenges; than structures with internal areas that do not communicate. Further structure protection to high winds is accomplished by adding pressure relief valves at the vessel's external surface to relieve wind pressures from within the structure. This is the first use of this readily available, free, unlimited, uninterruptable wind pressure energy within structures.

A method for position dependent change in the magnetization in an object, according to a requirement in a magnetic resonance measurement, wherein radio-frequency pulses are irradiated in conjunction with supplementary magnetic fields that vary in space and over time and are superposed on the static and homogeneous basic field of a magnetic resonance measurement apparatus along a z-direction, is characterized in that non-linear supplementary magnetic fields are used, whose spatial gradient of the z-component is not constant at least at one instant of the irradiation, and that the radio-frequency pulses to be irradiated are calculated in advance, wherein progressions over time of the field strengths of the supplementary magnetic fields in the region of the object that are calculated and / or measured position-dependently are included in this calculation. This enables change in the magnetization with an at least locally spatially higher resolution and / or shorter irradiation duration of the RF pulses and supplementary magnetic fields than is feasible with linear supplementary magnetic fields produced by conventional gradient systems. In particular, this is possible under the technical and physiological conditions that currently constrain the performance of the known methods using linear supplementary fields.

The systems and methods generate fairness indicator values indicative of discrimination risk due to the target predictions generated by the machine learning model, by comparing gradients of the machine learning model to gradients of an auxiliary machine learning model.

The method is for sending information through a node and includes providing a node that has a first access port, a second access port, a first uplink and a second uplink. A first packet is sent via the first access port to the node. When the node is in a leaf mode, the node creates a tag inside the first packet. The tag contains a first port number corresponding to the first access port. When the node is in a branch node, the node adds the first port number to the tag and sends the packet in the first uplink and the second uplink. A second packet, received via the second access port, is sent via the first uplink of the node. The node receives the second packet. The node removes a second port number that corresponds to the second access port from the tag. The node sends the second packet via the second access port to another node or customer lower down in the node tree.

The present invention is generally directed to a fluidized bed detector for continuous detection of biological and chemical materials comprising a fluidized bed of detecting elements suspended in a continuous flow system wherein the detecting elements remain in the system when a first force trying to move the detecting elements to the bottom of the system is balanced with a second opposing force of a flowing gas or liquid trying to move detecting elements to the top of the system and wherein the presence of a target molecule in the flowing gas or liquid disrupts the balance of the first and second forces causing the detecting element to exit the system. The release of the detecting element indicates the presence of the target molecule and may be captured, concentrated, or both for further evaluation by other assays or other means. Also disclosed is the related method of detecting biological and chemical materials using a fluidized bed detector.
