Deep Learning Algorithm for Detection of Cortical Arousal During Sleep
This invention is an end-to-end deep learning algorithm to detect cortical arousals during sleep using a one-night single lead electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. It is used to accurately detect arousal in home sleep tests, by reducing the false negative rate. The model combines both convolutional neural networks (CNN) and recurrent neural networks (RNN).

Energy and Memory Efficient Analog to Digital Image Processing Method for use in Data Intensive Systems
This invention starts from the mixed signal data collection and integrates the sampling scheme with memory and digitization. This integrated interface model will reduce the data amount at the very beginning of data acquisition. Thus, data received at the CPU, as well as power consumption in the CPU, will be greatly reduced. In this implementation, there...
