Patent number: 9421390Abstract: Methods and devices providing multiple criteria for use in arrhythmia identification. Based on inputs including defined rules or parameters, one of a more conservative or more aggressive set of arrhythmia identification parameters can be selected. One or the other of the selectable sets of arrhythmia identification parameters may also be adaptive or modifiable during the use of the system, for example, in response to identified nonsustained episodes, the more conservative set of arrhythmia identification parameters can be modified to become still more conservative. Such modification of arrhythmia identification criteria allows reduced time to therapy when indicated, while allowing more deliberate decisions in other circumstances.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2015Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: CAMERON HEALTH INC.Inventors: Venugopal Allavatam, Rick Sanghera

Patent number: 9423282Abstract: A system and method for determining the angular position of a bearing assembly and compensating measurements for bearing runout error in metrology devices, such as an articulated arm coordinate measurement device and a laser tracker, is provided. The system and method includes measuring the bearing runout error and defining a waveform from encoder readings for a first set of rotations. In one embodiment, a transfer function is created based on an analysis of the bearing runout error, such as with a Fourier analysis for example. In another embodiment the bearing runout error is mapped to an absolute angular position. During operation, the angular position of the bearing assembly is determined by comparing a waveform to the waveform from the first set of rotations. With the angular position determined, the bearing runout error may be used to compensate the measurements of the metrology device.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2015Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: FARO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventor: Eric J.
