Heading: A device, comprising:

Text: a beat detector to identify a beat-to-beat timing of cardiac activity; a ventricular beat detector to identify ventricular beats in the cardiac activity; variability determination logic to determine a variability in the beat-to-beat timing of a collection of beats; relevance determination logic to identify a relevance of the variability in the beat-to-beat timing to at least one of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter; and an event generator to generate an event when the variability in the beat-to-beat timing is identified as relevant to the at least one of atrial fibrillation 1 For purposes of the motion to dismiss, the district court adopted CardioNet’s construction of the term “ventricular beats” to mean “premature ventricular beats that are irregular beats that interrupt the normal heart rhythm.” CardioNet, LLC v. InfoBionic, Inc., 348 F. Supp. 3d 87, 96 n.4 (D. Mass. 2018) (citation omitted). Case: 19-1149 Document: 56 Page: 7 Filed: 04/17/2020 CARDIONET, LLC v. INFOBIONIC, INC 7 and atrial flutter in light of the variability in the beat-to-beat timing caused by ventricular beats identified by the ventricular beat detector. Id. at col. 12 ll. 12–27. Dependent claims 2, 3, 7, and 10–12 depend from claim 1 and further define the features of the device or its operation:
