Assignee:

Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc. - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

G08B 23/00

US Classification:

3405731, 600483

Abstract:

This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for predicting heart failure decompensation using within-patient diagnostics. A method comprises detecting an alert status of each of one or more sensors; calculating an alert score by combining the detected alerts; and calculating a composite alert score, the composite alert score being indicative of a physiological condition and comprising a combination of two or more alert scores.

International Classification:

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715731, 715732

Abstract:

A system and method for creating and conducting presentations on a surface may include an authoring mode, a preprocessing mode and a presentation mode. During an authoring mode, a user may create a surface presentation. In response to a command to play the created presentation, the system enters the preprocessing mode. During the preprocessing mode, a presentation is preprocessed and prepared for presentation. When preprocessing is complete, the presentation mode is entered. During the presentation mode, the infinite surface presentation is presented such that a user may navigate through the presentation.

International Classification:

A61N 139

US Classification:

607 5

Abstract:

A system for delivering low pain cardioversion shocks to the heart wherein the system provides a waveform to the heart that is biphasic and has rounded leading and trailing edges. The rounded leading and trailing edges are believed to decrease the discomfort experienced by the patient. In one embodiment, the circuit has a two capacitors connected in parallel with each other and with an H-bridge. The two capacitors are connected via a switch that can be closed so as to simultaneously charge one capacitor from the other while simultaneously applying voltage to the H-bridge. The circuit also includes a dump resistor that can be connected in parallel with the capacitors so as to increase the rounding of the trailing edges of the waveform. In another embodiment, controllable switches can also be included so as to be able to connect the capacitors in series and apply a sharp peak defibrillation waveform to the heart.
