Abstract:
A method and device for biomedical recording of biomedical spike signals is provided. The method includes extracting and aligning possible biomedical spike signals from received signals and, thereafter, performing spike detection by determining whether the possible biomedical spike signals are actual spike signals. The biomedical spike signals are preferably selected from electrocardiography (ECG), electroencephalography (EEG) and neural signals.
Abstract:
A method for detecting and correcting an error in a circuit is provided. The circuit is configured to receive an input signal and clock the input signal with a rising and falling timing signal. The method includes detecting late arrival signal transition of the input signal, at an intermediate point of a path, the path being one through which the input signal transits. The method further includes predicting an error in the input signal in response to detecting the late arrival signal transition at the intermediate point of the path. In addition, the method includes correcting the error in the input signal by manipulating the timing signal and/or a supply voltage.

Abstract:
A system and method for body channel communication is provided. The system includes a transceiver which encodes multiple bits per symbol when operating in a high data rate mode by selecting a first Walsh code in response to a first set of multiple bits of data and selecting a second Walsh code in response to a second set of multiple bits of data, both Walsh codes selected from a multiple-bit Walsh code sequence. The transceiver also generates a multi-level transmission signal having a predetermined symbol frequency by stacking the first Walsh code onto the second Walsh code, and transmits the multi-level signal having the first predetermined symbol frequency through the body channel. The transceiver also has additional modes of operation which include a normal mode and a low power mode, the low power mode decoding the multiple bits from the signal in response to harmonic energy from a harmonic frequency generated by the multiple-bit Walsh code sequence. Also, the transceiver modulates an M-Sequence code with the multi-bit Walsh code sequence up to a desired frequency band associated with the predetermined frequency in order to improve auto-correlation after passing through the body channel.
