Abstract: This invention is intended to prevent a mismatch
from occurring between a re-encoded and recorded video
stream and other data. A transport stream inputted in a
recording apparatus is supplied to a demultiplexer and an
analyzing block. The analyzing block outputs non-video
stream information to a coding controller. The coding
controller controls the encoding operation of an encoder
on the basis of the inputted information and outputs
video coding control information to a coding block. On
the basis of video coding control information, the coding
block generates multimedia display sub information
(including information about a picture frame for example)
which prevents a mismatch from occurring between video
and other data on the reproducing side and outputs this
information to a writing block. The writing block records
the video stream and other data to a recording medium as
well as the multimedia display sub information generated
by the coding block.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, un algorithme est mis en oeuvre dans un circuit pour détecter les ondes primaires dans un stimulateur cardiaque afin d'assurer une synchronisation de la stimulation ventriculaire avec les ondes de dépolarisation auriculaire détectées. Les synchronisations VDD et VDDR (stimulation synchronisée auriculaire, ventriculaire inhibée) sont mises en oeuvre via une seule électrode de stimulation ventriculaire normalisée (unipolaire ou bipolaire) et, de préférence, un réseau d'électrodes subcutanées (SEA). D'une manière plus spécifique, une électrode ventriculaire implantée effectue une stimulation ventriculaire et une détection ventriculaire tandis que le réseau d'électrodes subcutanées effectue une détection auriculaire, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de faire appel à une électrode auriculaire implantée ou une électrode VDD à passe simple spécialisée. L'algorithme gère les ondes cardiaques détectées afin d'appliquer un régime de stimulation souhaité sur la base de l'entrée provenant de l'électrode simple et du réseau d'électrodes subcutanées.

Abstract: The invention relates to an implantable device for therapeutic and diagnostic
purposes, which is capable to detect the physical properties of the pulmonary tissue
which depend from its density and their variations caused by a pathologic condition
of the heart (heart failure, ischemia, arrhythmia), using one or more intrapulmonary
catheters, provided with sensors, inserted in branches of the pulmonary artery. The
catheters provided with sensors preferably use as sensors electrodes and the
detected physical property, which depends by the density of the pulmonary tissue, is
preferably the bioelectric impedance of the explored portion of lung. The same
electrodes can be also used for monitoring of an electrocardiogram, without artefacts
and interferences. The device can be used to guide and optimise the therapy of the
heart disease made with electrostimulators and/or cardiac defibrillator and/or
systems for the exhibition of drugs and/or for the drainage of the fluids accumulated
in the body and/or for the circulatory assistance to the heart. The device comprises
means for the communication with external devices by means of radio-frequency
transmission. This invention constitutes a significative improvement in the state of the
art of the implantable devices for the therapy and the diagnosis of the heart diseases,
because it allows the measurement of the specific bioelectric impedance of the
pulmonary tissue only, overcoming the drawbacks of the known systems, which by
using surfaces electrodes placed upon the skin or electrodes placed inside of the
heart cavities, give a measurement of the transthoracic impedance determined
prevalently by the volume variations of the heart and great vessels and only partially
of the contents of fluids in the pulmonary tissue.
