Title: System and method for noninvasive blood analyte measurements
Inventor: MALIN STEPHEN FAITHFULLY
IPC: A61B5/107
Filed: 2000-01-19
Abstract: An intelligent system for measuring blood analytes noninvasively operates on a near infrared absorbance spectrum of in vivo skin tissue. A hierarchical architecture employs a pattern classification engine to adapt the calibration to the structural properties and physiological state of the subject as manifested in the absorbance spectrum. A priori information about the primary sources of sample variability are used to establish general categories of subjects. By applying calibration schemes specific to the various categories, the spectral interference is reduced resulting in improved prediction accuracy and parsimounious calibrations. Two classification rules are disclosed. The first rule assumes the classes are mutually exclusive and applies specific calibration models to the various subject categories. The second rule uses fuzzy set theory to develop calibration models and blood analyte predictions. Therefore, each calibration sample has the opportunity to influence more than one calibration model according to its class membership. Similarly, the predictions from more than one calibration are combined through defuzzification to produce the final blood analyte prediction.

Title: Common packet channel
Inventor: KANTERAKIS EMMANUEL
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 2000-03-21
Abstract: A code-division-multiple access (CDMA) system (fig. 1) includes a base station (BS 31, 32 and 33) and a plurality of remote stations (35). The base station has a BS-spread-spectrum transmitter and a BS-spread-spectrum receiver (fig. 3). A remote station has an RS-spread-spectrum transmitter and an RS-spread-spectrum receiver (fig. 4). The BS transmitter transmits a broadcast common synchronization channel, which includes a frame-timing signal. The broadcast common synchronization channel has a common chip-sequence signal, which is common to the plurality of remote stations. In response to the RS-spread-spectrum receiver receiving the broadcast common-synchronization channel, and determining frame timing from the frame-timing signal, an RS-spread-spectrum transmitter transmits an access-burst signal, which RS-power-control signals transmitted in time, at increasing power levels (figures 12-16). The BS-spread-spectrum transmitter, responsive to the BS-spread-spectrum receiver receiving the access-burst signal, and detecting an RS-preamble signal, transmits an acknowledgement signal. In response to the first RS-spread-spectrum receiver receiving the acknowledgement signal, the first RS-spread-spectrum transmitter transmits a spread-spectrum signal having data. The BS-spread-spectrum transmitter transmits either data or power-control information to RS-spread-spectrum receiver.
