    摘要: A sensor assembly including one or more capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) microarray modules which are provided with a number of individual transducers. The microarray modules are arranged to simulate or orient individual transducers in a hyperbolic paraboloid geometry. The transducers/sensor are arranged in a rectangular or square matrix and are activatable individually, selectively or collectively to emit and received reflected beam signals at a frequency of between about 100 to 170 kHz.

    摘要: A system for predicting epileptic seizures includes sensors operable to record a wearer's brain activity. The sensors electronically communicate with a processor configured to receive and store output EEG oscillations and activities. A threshold electrical fluctuation level is identified as the level electrical activity experienced at the onset of a seizure event, and is then stored in the PDA memory as a predetermined threshold value. The processor analyzes the input EEG data logged for a recording period, and the logged data is broken into a number of data values across a series of individual set sampling periods. Convert collected data value readings for individual sampling periods as a non-linear measure value using fractal dimension, P&H and/or Lyapunov weighing. The calculated values for a predicted next time intervals extending the sampling period is projected forward and compared against the predetermined threshold value to indicate a likely seizure event.
