    摘要: Embodiments herein provide a non-invasive tracking system that accurately predicts the location of tumors, such as lung tumors, in real time, while allowing patients to breathe naturally. This is accomplished by using Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), in conjunction with spirometry, strain gauge and infrared sensors, and by using sophisticated patient-specific mathematical models that incorporate the dynamics of tumor motion. With the direction and speed of lung tumor movement successfully tracked, radiation may be effectively delivered to the lung tumor and not to the surrounding healthy tissue, thus increased radiation dosage may be directed to improving local tumor control without compromising functional parenchyma.

    摘要: A method of building a model for a physical plant in the presence of noise can include initializing the model of the physical plant, wherein the model is characterized by a parameter vector, estimating an output of the model, and computing a composite cost comprising a weighted average of an error between the estimated output from the model and an actual output of the physical plant, and a derivative of the error. The method further can include determining a step size and a model update direction. The model of the physical plant can be updated. The updating step can be dependent upon the step size. Another embodiment can include the steps of determining a Kalman gain and determining an error vector comprised of two entries weighted by a scalar parameter.

An embodiment of the disclosed technology comprises a system and method in which least one sequence of a plurality of stimuli is presented to an individual (using appropriate sensory modalities), and the time course of at least one measurable response to the sequence(s) is used to select at least one stimulus from the sequence(s). In an embodiment, the sequence(s) may be dynamically altered based on previously selected stimuli and/or on estimated probability distributions over the stimuli. In an embodiment, such dynamic alteration may be based on predictive models of appropriate sequence generation mechanisms, such as an adaptive or static sequence model.

    摘要: An iterative method of equalizing an input signal received over a digital communication channel can include (a) using a kernel density estimate where different values of a kernel size are indicative of either a blind or a decision-directed equalization mode, (b) processing a received signal using a blind equalization mode, and (c) evaluating, on a block or sample basis, an error measure based on a distance among a distribution of an equalizer output and a constellation. The method also can include (d) updating the kernel size based upon the error measure thereby facilitating automatic switching between the blind and decision-directed equalization modes, where the kernel size is initially set to a value indicative of the blind equalization mode. The method additionally can include (e) selectively applying blind equalization or decision-directed equalization to the input signal according to the updated kernel size for subsequent iterations of steps (c)-(e).
