Patent CA-2612714-C (CA)
Inventor: DAMIANO EDWARD
IPC: A61M31/00
Filed: 2006-05-15
Granted: 2013-09-24
Abstract: An augmented, adaptive algorithm utilizing model predictive control (MPC) is developed for closed-loop glucose control in type 1 diabetes. A linear empirical input-output subject model is used with an MPC algorithm to regulate blood glucose online, where the subject model is recursively adapted, and the control signal for delivery of insulin and a counter-regulatory agent such as glucagon is based solely on online glucose concentration measurements. The MPC signal is synthesized by optimizing an augmented objective function that minimizes local insulin accumulation in the subcutaneous depot and control signal aggressiveness, while simultaneously regulating glucose concentration to a preset reference set point. The mathematical formulation governing the subcutaneous accumulation of administered insulin is derived based on nominal temporal values pertaining to the pharmacokinetics (timecourse of activity) of insulin in human, in terms of its absorption rate, peak absorption time, and overall time of action.

Abstract: Indexing, searching, and retrieving the content of speech documents (including but not limited to recorded books, audio broadcasts, recorded conversations) is accomplished by finding and retrieving speech documents that are related to a query term at a conceptual level, even if the speech documents does not contain the spoken (or textual) query terms. Concept-based cross-media information retrieval is used. A term-phoneme/document matrix is constructed from a training set of documents. Documents are then added to the matrix constructed from the training data. Singular Value Decomposition is used to compute a vector space from the term-phoneme/document matrix. The result is a lower-dimensional numerical space where term-phoneme and document vectors are related conceptually as nearest neighbors. A query engine computes a cosine value between the query vector and all other vectors in the space and returns a list of those term-phonemes and/or documents with the highest cosine value.

IPC: E21B47/06
Filed: 2008-07-02
Granted: 2012-08-21
Abstract: A cased hole pressure test tool is used to determine the integrity of cement between two points in a borehole in terms of permeability or transmissibility. The test tool drills at least one probe hole through the casing up to the cement. In one embodiment, two probes are set and the dissipation of a pressure pulse through the cement initiated by the first probe is observed by the second probe. In another embodiment, one probe hole is in hydraulic communication with the borehole fluid and a single offset probe is set in another probe hole. Fluid (water) is then added to the borehole to cause a pressure increase in the borehole fluid. Detection of the pressure increase through the cement by the offset probe is indicative of a loss of hydraulic isolation. Packers may be used to isolate the portion of the borehole under test. A mechanism for generating a pressure pulse of known magnitude is also described.

Title: Comparing human muscle strength on opposite sides
Inventor: SCHULTE ALOIS
IPC: A61B50/22
Filed: 2009-10-16
Granted: 2015-04-07
Abstract: A muscle strength measuring apparatus has a force receiver connected to a force sensor. An upright bracing surface is rigidly positioned with respect to the force receiver to provide a testing space between the surface and the force receiver. The receiver is adjustable such that a person standing in the testing space can brace against the surface and exert a force against the force receiver with a first muscle on each side of the person's body, and can then adjust the position of the force receiver and exert a force against the force receiver with a second muscle on each side. Thus comparative strengths of muscles on opposite sides of the person's body can be accurately determined by measuring the isometric force exerted by corresponding muscles on each side.
