Inventor: FLORIO JOSEPH J
IPC: A61N1/362
Filed: 2003-01-08
Abstract: Dynamic overdrive pacing adjustment techniques are described for use in
implantable cardiac stimulation devices. In a first technique, an overdrive pacing
unit of a microcontroller of the implantable device operates to optimize various
control parameters that affect overdrive pacing so as to achieve a desired degree
of overdrive pacing for the particular patient in which the stimulation device is
implanted. Parameters to be optimized include the number of overdrive beats
paced once overdrive pacing is trigged, the overdrive pacing response function,
the recovery rate, and various base rates. The control parameters are adjusted in a
hierarchical order of priority until the desired degree of overdrive pacing is
achieved. Adjustment of the number of overdrive beats, the recovery rate, and
various base rates is iteratively performed by using incremental numerical
adjustments. Adjustment of the overdrive pacing response function may be
performed by selecting among a set of fixed predetermined linear response
functions. In a second technique, the overdrive pacing unit operates to optimize
the shape of a single non-linear dynamic overdrive pacing response function so as
to achieve the desired degree of overdrive pacing for the patient. The second
technique may either be employed alone or in combination with the first,
hierarchical optimization technique.

Abstract: There is provided a high sensitive magnetic field sensor which has a
Josephson junction section (2) using a bismuth 2212 oxide high-temperature
superconductor single-crystal (1) and is operated based on a periodical variation in
a Josephson vortex flow resistance and in which the variation is caused by an
electric current which is passed vertical to a Josephson junction surface and, at the
same time, a magnetic field which is applied approximately parallel to the
Josephson junction surface. The sensor detects a corresponding magnetic field,
using a curve which represents a relation between a Josephson vortex flow
resistance and a magnetic field and has been obtained beforehand by
measurements, and a resistance value which is measured in a state in which an
electric current is passed, and can observe a little change of magnetic field in a
high magnetic field area.

IPC: H04B1/7117

Abstract: A path detector (100) provides statistics of rates at which preamble signals are detected within a predetermined time period. For a delay amount segment where the detection rate is low, the sampling rate of correlation value calculation is reduced, and the number of correlator sets used for the preamble signal detection is reduced. Correlator sets made available by that reduction are used to detect message signal paths, thereby raising the operating rate of the RAKE receivers of a decoder (200) to improve the throughput of the message signals. Further, the statistics of the rates of preamble signal detections are periodically updated, and when the preamble signal detection rate of the delay amount segment where the sampling rate was reduced becomes higher, the number of the correlator sets used for the preamble signal detection is increased so as to return the sampling rate to its original value.
