Appl. No.:

17/372312

Inventors:

- Pasadena CA, US
Eric CHRISTENSEN - McKinney TX, US
Robert WYATT - Boulder CO, US

International Classification:

Abstract:

A modular multi-system gaming console can be configurable for use in conjunction with expansion consoles (also referred to as expansion modules, expansion units, and/or element modules herein) as a gaming console emulator and/or for use as an audio/video converter (e.g., an up-converter), data recorder, or streaming device. Further, the modular multi-system gaming console can evoke the original gaming experience of a game played on original hardware. A modular multi-system gaming console can provide a consistent platform for display, content management, statistical storage and analysis (e.g., high scores, fastest speed runs, etc.), and live streaming and other services (including core services described herein) across a multitude of gaming console platforms. A modular multi-system gaming console can also provide a more authentic game experience via active cartridge reading. Further, by providing a flexible and configurable architecture for the modular multi-system gaming console, support for new consoles can be added to the modular multi-system gaming console without requiring users to purchase an entirely new console that repeats hardware for providing the core services.

Abstract:

A system for detecting strokes includes a sensor device configured to obtain physiological data from a patient, for example brain activity data. The sensor device can include electrodes configured to be disposed at the back of the patient's neck or base of the skull. The electrodes can detect electrical signals corresponding to brain activity in the P3, Pz, and/or P4 brain regions or other brain regions. A computing device communicatively coupled to the sensor device is configured to receive the physiological data and analyze it to indicate whether the patient has suffered a stroke.

Abstract:

A system and method for scalable efficient framing for digital signals is disclosed. The method includes determining offsets of framing bits in a serialized data format and determining expected values of the framing bits. The method also includes receiving a data bit, inserting the data bit into a frame-detection shifting circuit configured to operate as a first-in-first-out queue, and selecting a set of bits corresponding to the offsets from the frame-detection shifting circuit. The method further includes comparing the set of bits to the expected values, determining whether the set of bits matches the expected values, and, if the set of bits matches, indicating that a frame was detected. The method additionally includes shifting the frame-detection shifting circuit by one bit position and repeating the receiving, inserting, selecting, comparing, determining, indicating, and shifting.
