A computer brain interface (CBI) device of an individual is self-calibrated. A neurostimulation test signal is generated based on a selected set of test signal parameters. The neurostimulation signal is applied to the afferent sensory nerve fibers to elicit a bioelectric response via a neurostimulation interface operably connected to or integrated with the CBI device. The neurostimulation interface senses the bioelectric responses of the stimulated afferent sensory nerve fibers. The CBI devices determines, based on the sensed bioelectric responses, whether an excitation behavior of the stimulated afferent sensory nerve fibers with respect to the neurostimulation interface has changed. When the excitation behavior has changed, a set of recalibrated neurostimulation signal parameters is determined based on the sensed bioelectric responses. The CBI device is operated using the recalibrated neurostimulation signal parameters to communicate information to the individual via neurostimulation of the afferent sensory nerve fibers.

Electroporation-based therapies (EBTs) employ high voltage pulsed electric fields (PEFs) to permeabilize tumor tissue, resulting in changes in passive electrical properties detectable using electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Currently, commercial potentiostats for EIS are limited by impedance spectrum acquisition time (˜10 s); this timeframe is much larger than pulse periods used with EBTs (˜1 s). Fourier Analysis SpecTroscopy (FAST) is introduced as a methodology for monitoring tissue inter-burst impedance (diagnostic FAST) and intra-burst impedance (therapeutic FAST) during EBTs. FAST is a rapid-capture (<<1 s) technique which enables monitoring of inter-burst and intra-burst impedance during EBTs in real-time. FAST identified a frequency which delineates thermal effects from electroporation effects in measured impedance. Significance: FAST demonstrates the potential to perform EIS, in addition to intra-burst impedance spectroscopy, using existing pulse generator topologies.

The technology described herein is directed towards a distributed cross-layer intelligent beam management engine that performs a beam alignment procedure, including learning a site-specific probing codebook and using probing codebook measurements to predict an optimal narrow beam using an AI/ML method. The learned codebook determines site-specific probing beams that can capture particular characteristics of the propagation environment. The distributed engine includes distributed applications with different delay requirements that perform different parts of the beam alignment procedure. One application (e.g., in a non-real time controller) provides probing codebook policy data and reporting policy data, and another application (e.g., in a near-real time controller) learns the probing codebook based on the policy data. A third, real time application performs the beam sweeping based on the probing codebook, with the optimal beam for a user equipment identified by the user equipment.

An analog PLL employs digital circuitry for calibration and characterization, precisely setting and maintaining the bandwidth of the PLL. A digital calibration circuit calibrates the value of a resistor or capacitor in the loop filter to yield a desired RC product. A digital control circuit reads time-to-digital converters (TDC) digitizing the length of the CU and CD pulses from the phase-frequency detector (PFD) to the charge pump (CP) during a frequency change. These pulse lengths are summed to yield a measured integral CP current. The control circuit determines an integral CP current that yields a desired bandwidth, regardless of the VCO tuning sensitivity, based on the calibrated RC product. The CP current is then adjusted by the ratio of determined integral CP current to the measured integral CP current. The digital circuits do not increase power consumption or adversely affect system operation.
