This paper describes a prototype of software system of neural network control of telemetry data for malfunction diagnosis of spacecraft subsystems. The prototype is used for testing of intelligent technologies for processing information about a spacecraft subsystems state, prediction and detection of irregularities of the spacecraft subsystem modes. The Information obtained from on-board data s...

Core body temperature is an important measure of animal thermal stress and thermoregulation. A shortrange telemetry system was evaluated in poultry, beef, and dairy cattle. This system provides good temperature accuracy, excellent temperature resolution, and adequate response time. However, this system would need some improvement before it could be implemented into the livestock industry.

Neural networks are a popular technology that exploits massive parallelism and distributed storage and processing for speed and error tolerance. Most neural networks tend to rely on linear, step or sigmoidal activation functions for decision making. The generalised regression neural network (GRNN) is a radial basis network (RBN) which uses the Gaussian activation function in its processing elem...

Rapid development of microelectronics during the past years allowed the emergence of high-performance implantable biomedical microsystems (IBMs). Nowadays, these systems share many features and basic components, and are being used in different applications such as neural signal recording, functional muscular stimulation, and neural prostheses. Due to implant size limitations in a wide range of ...

Inductive neural telemetry was used to record from microwire electrodes chronically implanted into the anterior lateral line nerve of the oyster toadfish, Opsanus tau (L.). The lateral lines of free-ranging toadfish were stimulated by the swimming movements of a prey fish (Fundulus heteroclitus), and the corresponding neural activity was quantified. Both spontaneously active and silent afferent...

The degree of overlap among cochlear nerve fibers stimulated by different electrodes results in electrode interaction, which has been shown to have a significantly deleterious effect on speech recognition performance in multi-electrode cochlear implant users. The Nucleus CI24R(CS) Contour array, which lies substantially closer to the modiolus than the CI24M straight array, is expected to exhibi...

Subpressor doses of angiotensin II (SP-Ang II) cause a slow increase in blood pressure in rats as assessed by tail cuff plethysmography (TCP), reflecting either sustained hypertension or an exaggerated pressor response to diverse stimuli. We examined whether subpressor doses of Ang II enhance blood pressure responses to simple stress (handling of trained rats for TCP). We implanted telemetry in...

Telemetry monitoring is a limited resource. This quality improvement project describes a nurse-managed telemetry discontinuation protocol aimed at stopping telemetry monitoring when it is no longer indicated. After implementing the protocol, data were collected for 6 months and compared with a preintervention time frame. There was a mean decrease in telemetry monitor usage and a decreased likel...

Inductive neural telemetry was used to record from microwire electrodes chronically implanted into the anterior lateral line nerve of the toadfish, Opsanus tau. Spontaneous neural activity and the response of lateral line fibers to water current were continually monitored from 17 primary afferent fibers before, during, and after the administration of the anesthetic tricaine (MS-222). Significan...
