International Classification:

H04R 29/00

US Classification:

381 59, 381 58, 381103

Abstract:

Systems and methods for calibrating a loudspeaker with a connection to a microphone located at a listening area in a room. The loudspeaker includes self-calibration functions to adjust speaker characteristics according to effects generated by operating the loudspeaker in the room. In one example, the microphone picks up a test signal generated by the loudspeaker and the loudspeaker uses the test signal to determine the loudspeaker frequency response. The frequency response is analyzed below a selected low frequency value for a room mode. The loudspeaker generates parameters for a digital filter to compensate for the room modes. In another example, the loudspeaker may be networked with other speakers to perform calibration functions on all of the loudspeakers in the network.

International Classification:

G16H 50/70
G16H 15/00
G16H 50/30
G16H 10/20

Abstract:

A method and system for determining a patient's risk of developing an infection is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system and method includes extracting patient data from one or more databases corresponding to a pool of patients receiving treatment; using one or more predictive models with the extracted patient data to generate, for each of the patients in the pool of patients, a respective patient risk score for developing an infection within a selected time period; generating a report including at least a portion of the identified subset of the pool of patients and their respective patient risk scores; and transmitting the report to one or more health care facilities, the one or more health care facilities further identifying one or more patients from the portion of the identified subset of the pool of patients for interventional treatment, consultation, training, or combinations thereof.
