Systems and methods for monitoring a gas analyte

This disclosure relates to systems and methods for monitoring and classifying released gases in an enclosed system having a gas source, by a gas sensor that has been a priori pre-trained to distinguish an off-gas event (OGE) or a thermal run off event (TRE) from non-OGE interfering gases release. The pre-training utilizes one of a machine learning (ML) or a deep learning (DL) algorithm to pre-train the gas sensor to detect a plurality of known gas analyte to generate sensor signals with respective unique characteristics, extracting features from the sensor signals to establish a decision boundary or an estimated probability of a false positive release of the OGE or the TRE from the non-OGE type of interfering gas release. The established decision boundaries or probability distributions are implemented as candidate model for field deployment to classify the released gases to distinguish whether OGE or TRE takes place.

20170248696 · 2017-08-31 ·

A system for three-dimensional animal tracking in laboratory conditions is proposed. A mobile device that has one infrared and one ultrasonic sensor, equipped with memory and/or radio transmitter, is attached to a moving creature. One compact stationary box is placed in the vicinity; it emits a pre-determined sequence of short infrared pulses, short ultrasonic signals and two planar, radially emitted light beams that move through the area of interest with constant angular speed in two orthogonal directions. The mobile device receives two angular coordinates in the form of two time intervals between an infrared pulse and the next two orthogonal planar beam receptions, and it receives one linear coordinate in the form of the time interval between an infrared pulse and the next ultrasonic signal reception, taking into account the speed of sound in the air. The ultrasonic emitter is driven by a pulse-width modulated signal to make it undetectable by animals.

20220051761 · 2022-02-17 ·

The invention is measurement of two categories of medical attributes that proceed the causes previously measured to cause lower musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries including stress fractures. The innovation is the measurement of increase in the risk for lower musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries, including stress fractures, due to genetic factors that cause disease (pre-cursors of the disease) as an independent cause for an increase in the risk of MSK injuries, and the diseased states themselves as a cause of increased risk for lower MSK injuries. The method to be used for this measurement will be through statistical and quasi-experimental design. The innovation of measuring the genetic pre-cursor of diseases and these diseases themselves includes them as antecedents for the previously measured causes of stress fractures; such as biomechanical and anatomical factors; muscle power; muscle, ligament and tendon flexibility; equipment used; nutritional; bone mineral density; smoking; amenorrhea; estrogen, among others.
