Directed delivery of agents to neural anatomy

InactiveUS20120310140A1Effective pain managementAdequate pain reliefSpinal electrodesPharmaceutical delivery mechanismDiseaseAutomatic control
The present invention is directed generally to systems, devices and methods for direct delivery of agents, e.g., pharmaceutical agents, to target spinal and neuronal anatomies, e.g., the dorsal root ganglia (DRG), for the treatment of various disorders, particularly pain and pain related disorders, such as chronic itch, sensory disorders, multiple sclerosis, post-herpetic neuralgia and the like. The system, devices and methods of the invention encompass the agents to be delivered to the target anatomy alone or in combination with electrical stimulation. The delivery device and systems and methods as disclosed herein place the distal end of the delivery element, which comprises at least one agent delivery structure, and optionally at least one electrode, in close proximity, or in contact with or next to the target spinal anatomy, e.g., DRG. A variety of agents can be delivered using the device, including sodium channel blockers, biologics, neuroinflammatory modulators, toxins etc., to selectively neuromodulate the neurons. Agent delivery and / or electrical stimulation can be automated and / or can be controlled automatically or by a pre-determined program, or by a patient control pump (PCA).

Dynamic adjustment of noise separation in data handling, particularly voice activation

InactiveUS7146314B2Improves voice signal detection abilityData detection is convenientSpeech recognitionDynamic noiseConsecutive frame
Data handling dynamically responds to changing noise power conditions to separate valid data from noise. A reference power level acts as a threshold between dynamically assumed noise and valid data, and dynamically refers to the reference power level changing adaptively with the background noise. The introduction of dynamic noise control in VOX (Voice Activated Transmission) improves a VOX device operation in a noisy environment, even when the background noise profiles are changing. Processing is on a frame by frame basis for successive frames. The threshold is adaptively changed when a comparison of frame signal power to the threshold indicates speech or the absence of speech in the compared frame repeatedly and continuously for a period of time involving plural successive frames having no valid speech or noise above the threshold to correspondingly reduce or increase the threshold by changing the threshold to a value that is a function of the input signal power.
