    摘要: Firearm discharge location systems and methods are described. According to one aspect, a firearm discharge location system includes a plurality of microphones spaced from one another, timing circuitry configured to generate a plurality of asynchronous timing references, wherein data capture operations with respect to the microphones of a first pair are synchronized with one another using a first of the timing references and data capture operations with respect to the microphones of a second pair are synchronized with one another using a second of the timing references, and processing circuitry configured to use outputs of the first and second pairs of the microphones to identify a location of a firearm discharge.

    摘要: A device is provided for overcoming freezing of gait. Suitably, the device includes a sleeve sized and shaped to be worn on a leg of a human subject, an array of electrodes carried by the sleeve and positioned to make surface contact with a skin of the leg when the sleeve is worn on by the human subject, and a controller in communication with the array of electrodes. The controller is operative to receive muscle activity data from the array of electrodes indicative of muscle activity in the leg, identify an onset of a freezing of gait episode based on the received muscle activity data, and trigger energization of one or more targeted electrodes in response to identification of the onset of the freezing of gait episode to mitigate against the freezing of gait episode.

    摘要: The present disclosure describes systems, methods, devices for performing thought-controlled neuromuscular stimulation. Also described are methods for producing a neuromuscular stimulation cuff. The systems and methods generally relate to receiving and processing thought signals indicative of an intended action, and then delivering stimulation to effectuate the intended action through a neuromuscular stimulation cuff. The neuromuscular stimulation cuff includes a flexible printed circuit board having at least one finger and a plurality of electrogel discs disposed on the at least one finger. The neuromuscular stimulation cuff may be produced by providing a layer of polyimide, etching a conductive copper circuit including a plurality of electrodes into the layer of polyimide to form an etched circuit layer, adhering a cover layer onto the etched circuit layer to form a flexible printed circuit board (PCB), and cutting at least one finger from the flexible PCB. The neuromuscular stimulation cuff employs a flexible multi-electrode design which allows for reanimation of complex muscle movements in a patient, including individual finger movement.
