Title: Wireless patient monitoring system
Inventor: FIFOLT DOUGLAS A
IPC: H04Q9/00
Filed: 2006-03-30
Abstract: A device and method for monitoring a patient having a sensing device taking sensor data continuously and a transmitter located on the patient and internally powered. The transmitter is normally in a power-down state and powered-up for transmitting the sensor data. A receiver is located remote from the patient and receives the sensor data transmitted wirelessly from the transmitter. The transmission is typically a burst and can also be initiated on a command. For the burst, the sensor data is accumulated over a first period. The transmitter can transmit the sensor data over a second period of time. The second period of time is shorter than the first period of time. Once the transmission is complete, transmitter can be powered down. A further step displays the sensor data at the receiver in pseudo real-time. The display is shifted by a sum of the first and the second period of time.

Title: Algorithm for the automatic determination of optimal pacing intervals
Inventor: MONGEON LUC R
IPC: A61N1/00
Filed: 2005-05-26
Abstract: Impedance, e.g. sub-threshold impedance, is measured across the heart at selected cardiac cycle times as a measure of chamber expansion or contraction. One embodiment measures impedance over a long AV interval to obtain the minimum impedance, indicative of maximum ventricular expansion, in order to set the AV interval. Another embodiment measures impedance change over a cycle and varies the AV pace interval in a binary search to converge on the AV interval causing maximum impedance change indicative of maximum ventricular output. Another method varies the right ventricle to left ventricle (VV) interval to converge on an impedance maximum indicative of minimum cardiac volume at end systole. Another embodiment varies the VV interval to maximize impedance change. Other methods vary the AA interval to maximize impedance change over the entire cardiac cycle or during the atrial cycle.

Inventor: ROTH ALEXANDER
IPC: A01K87/04
Filed: 2005-07-07
Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a line guide (1000) for a fishing rod and that employs a system of roller assemblies (1006) within a frame (1002), the roller assemblies configured to form a passageway (1004) for the fishing line to pass through. As an angler reels in a fish and the fishing line is in contact with one of the roller assemblies, the tension of the fishing line will cause a component of the roller assembly to rotate, thus greatly reducing any sliding friction between the fishing line and the line guide. The line guides can be a variety of sizes and the frames of the line guides can vary in shape and their mounting orientation relative to the fishing rod.
