摘要: A microphone assembly includes one or more transducers positioned in a housing. Circuitry is coupled to the transducer for outputting an electrical signal such that the microphone has a main lobe directed forwardly and attenuates signals originating from the sides and/or rear. The transducers can advantageously include multiple transducers, which, with the circuit, produce a desired sensitivity pattern. The microphone assembly can be employed in a vehicle accessory.

摘要: Equipment on automotive vehicle is controlled by a system including at least one semiconductor light sensor having variable sensitivity to light. Each light sensor generates a light signal indicative of the intensity of light incident on the light sensor. Control logic varies the sensitivity of the light sensor and generates equipment control signals based on received light signals. Sensitivity of light sensors may be varied by changing the integration time for producing charge from light incident on light transducers, by selecting between light transducers of different sensitivity within the light sensor, by using a light transducer with a sensitivity that is a function of the amount of incident light, and the like. Controlled equipment includes devices such as automatically dimming rearview mirrors, headlamps, and moisture removal means.

摘要: A method of assessing risk of an individual for a disease is disclosed. A level of a marker for the disease is detected, and the risk of disease is computed from a statistical analysis of the marker level distributions for tested normal and diseased populations, using multivariate distributions. The computed risk is compared to thresholds to triage the individual into a normal, borderline, or elevated risk group, and a course of action based on the risk group is determined. Memory storing a program for execution on a data processing system, as well as a computer system comprising said memory is also disclosed, the memory comprising a receiver for signals representative of levels of a marker for the disease; a central processing unit for computing risk of disease from one or more levels of the marker, and for comparing the computed risk to thresholds to triage the individual; and storage medium for the marker levels for subsequent computations of risk of disease.

摘要: A healthcare decision support system simulates effects of a change in a number of patients. A repository includes patient specific clinical and non-clinical data, comprising multiple medical record attributes of multiple patients. A simulation processor receives data representing multiple factors for adjusting a value representing number of patients in corresponding multiple associated subsets of the multiple patients. An individual subset comprises patients having a particular medical record attribute of a particular type. A calculation processor identifies patients common to different particular subsets, and calculates a change in a value representing number of patients common to the different particular subsets by calculating a product of factors associated with the different particular subsets.

摘要: A sense transistor is placed in a current path between a reference voltage source and ground. The base terminal of the sense transistor is coupled to the base terminal of an amplifying transistor. Thus, current in the sense transistor corresponds to signal power output by the amplifying transistor. The sense current causes a sense voltage at the collector terminal of the sense transistor. This sense voltage is applied to one input of an error amplifier. The other error amplifier input receives a power control voltage. The error amplifier output is routed back to the base terminal of the amplifying transistor in a negative feedback loop, thereby keeping the power of the signal output by the amplifying transistor at a constant level. In some embodiments the error amplifier output is made independent of changes in the reference voltage. Multiple pairs of corresponding amplifying and sense transistors can be used.
