Channel-selective blanking for a medical device system
Apparatuses and methods selectively blank a neurological channel of a medical device system in the treatment of a nervous system disorder. A selected signal of a selected channel may be blanked if it is determined that the selected signal may be affected by an artifact when the medical device system delivers a treatment therapy. The selected signal may be blanked by hardware, in which the selected electrode is disconnected from the selected channel (which may include an selected amplifier) and is connected to a fixed voltage in order to avoid saturation of the selected amplifier. The selected channel may be blanked by software, in which a signal processor is instructed not to process neurological data on the selected channel for a determined time duration. Embodiments may combine hardware and software blanking for the selected signal.

Photogrammetric reconstruction of free-form objects with curvilinear structures
InactiveUS20050140670A1Easy to useModeling free-form objects more accurate3D-image rendering3D modellingViewpointsFree form
The shapes of many natural or man-made objects have curve features. The images of such curves usually do not have sufficient distinctive features to apply conventional feature-based reconstruction algorithms. In this paper, we introduce a photogrammetric method for recovering free-form objects with curvilinear structures. Our method chooses to define the topology and recover a sparse 3D wireframe of the object first instead of directly recovering a surface or volume model. Surface patches covering the object are then constructed to interpolate the curves in this wireframe while satisfying certain heuristics such as minimal bending energy. The result is an object surface model with curvilinear structures from a sparse set of images. We can produce realistic texture-mapped renderings of the object model from arbitrary viewpoints. Reconstruction results on multiple real objects are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

A circuit arrangement and method selectively reorder speculatively issued memory read requests being communicated to a lower memory level in a multi-level memory architecture. In particular, a memory read request that has been speculatively issued to a lower memory level prior to completion of a cache lookup operation initiated in a cache memory in a higher memory level may be reordered ahead of at least one previously received and pending request awaiting communication to the lower memory level. By doing so, the latency associated with the memory read request is reduced when the request results in a cache miss in the higher level memory, and as a result, system performance is improved.
