20080221684 | Devices, systems, and methods to fixate tissue within the regions of body, such as the pharyngeal conduit - Devices, systems and methods develop static and/or kinetic and/or pressure forces to fixate or brace tissue in targeted pharyngeal structures and individual anatomic components within the pharyngeal conduit. | 09-11-2008 |
20110275879 | MAGNETIC FORCE DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR RESISTING TISSUE COLLAPSE WITHIN THE PHARYNGEAL CONDUIT - Devices, systems and methods employ magnetic force to resist tissue collapse in targeted pharyngeal structures and individual anatomic components within the pharyngeal conduit during sleep. | 11-10-2011 |
20120240940 | DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS USING MAGNETIC FORCE SYSTEMS AFFECTING THE TOUNGUE OR HYOID MUSCCLES IN THE UPPER AIRWYA - Systems and methods are provided for resisting posterior movement of the tongue during sleep, thereby keeping an airway open. The systems and methods employ a first structure that can be placed either in or on a tongue within an oral cavity and/or in a region of hyoid muscle. The first structure includes a ferromagnetic material. The systems and methods employ a second structure that can be placed either in or on external tissue outside the oral cavity and/or in or on external tissue outside the oral cavity in a desired relationship with the first structure. The second structure includes a magnetic material that magnetically interacts with the ferromagnetic material by attracting the ferromagnetic material, thereby resisting posterior movement of the tongue. | 09-27-2012 |
20130319428 | STABILIZED MAGNETIC FORCE DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Devices, systems, and methods employ at least one ferromagnetic structure sized and configured for placement in a tissue region. A component is attached to the structure to stabilise its placement in the tissue region. An anchoring structure holds the component in a state of tension. The anchoring structure can, e.g., take the from of an anchoring body that expands in situ. The anchoring structure can be adjustable for adjusting the state of tension. The component can be elastic, to deflect under load in a prescribed manner and to recover an initial shape when unloaded. | 12-05-2013 |
20150013687 | IMPLANTABLE DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR MAINTAINING DESIRED ORIENTATIONS IN TARGETED TISSUE REGIONS - At least one implant structure is sized and configured for implantation in, on, or near an extrinsic muscle region affecting movement and/or shape of a tongue, e.g., a genioglossus muscle. The position of the implant structure is stabilized relative to the extrinsic muscle region to maintain the tongue in a desired orientation, e.g., to maintain patency of an airway. | 01-15-2015 |
20150073565 | DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS TO FIXATE TISSUE WITHIN THE REGIONS OF BODY, SUCH AS THE PHARYNGEAL CONDUIT - Devices, systems and methods develop static and/or kinetic and/or pressure forces to fixate or brace tissue in targeted pharyngeal structures and individual anatomic components within the pharyngeal conduit. | 03-12-2015 |

20160066158 | METHOD FOR INDOOR LOCALIZATION USING NOMADIC ACCESS POINTS - A method for indoor localization using nomadic access points, comprising the following steps: a target object transmits a modulated signal over wireless channels to nearby access points, wherein the access points include both static access points and nomadic access points; the access points measure channel state information via the signal from the target object, after that, the static access points export the channel state information to a server, the nomadic wireless access point report the channel state information along with their coordinates of the current sites to the server; and based on the channel state information, the server determines the target object's relative proximity to two arbitrary access points, then based on the result of the relative proximity determination and the coordinates, the server estimates a feasible region for the target object with a space partition-based algorithm. | 03-03-2016 |
20160102987 | METHOD FOR INFERRING TYPE OF ROAD SEGMENT - Present invention provides a method for inferring the type of a road segment, comprising the steps of: collecting historical driving trajectory data of a plurality of vehicles for a target road segment, performing a statistic on the historical driving trajectory data, and obtaining statistical features of the target road segment; extracting topological features of the target road segment from topological structure data of the road network; merging the statistical features with the topological features of the target road segment, and obtaining an arrogated feature vector of the target road segment; building a logistic regression model according to the arrogated feature vector, and obtaining a first inferred type of the target road segment. The present embodiment considers both the driving trajectory data of a plurality of vehicles and the topological structure data of the road network, the accuracy of the present invention is high, and the inferred result is accurate. | 04-14-2016 |
