AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the RNS neurostimulator, a device implanted in the skull to manage epileptic seizures by detecting EEG signals and delivering electrical charges to disrupt seizures. The system consists of a detection component and a control portion, utilizing either synchronous or asynchronous sensor chips for detection. There is confusion regarding the differences between synchronous and asynchronous detection methods in this context. Clarification is provided that synchronous detection involves a clock signal, while asynchronous detection relies on data transmission without a clock. The conversation also highlights a broken link to a related document, which is in French, and requests for specifications regarding the device.

hello,
We work on a topic concerning the RNS neurostimulator against epileptic seizures:
http://latavernedes3i.free.fr/files/...20Valerian.pdf

(RNS consists of a computerized device implanted into the skull with electrodes implanted in presumed epileptic foci in the brain. Brain electrodes send EEG signals at the input device that contains detection software. When certain criteria EEG seizure are satisfied, the device delivers a small electrical charge to the electrodes other near the epileptic focus and disrupt the seizure.).

the system has two main parts:
- Detection part:
- Portion control (FPGA processor ...)

detection is assured either by a sensor chip synchronous or asynchronous
After much research, I can not differentiate between an asynchronous and the synchronous detection in this context:confused:
and thank you for your help

Your link appears to be broken. I tried to repair it, but got a nasty message when trying to enter the home website. Can you re-post your link?

Yep, it's in French all right...:smile:

On your question, synchronous would normally refer to when you are clocking the device that you are communicating with, and asynchronous would be when the device is sending you its own clock along with the data. Or asynchronous could mean that the device is sending you just the data, at some known pace (like with RS-232 communication, there is no explicit clock sent with the data, but the data rate of the sender and receiver must be the same in order for the communication to work).

Do you have any specifications for the device that you are communicating with? Or is that somewhere in the French document?

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Two capacitors, etc.'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
