Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and techniques for estimating a heart disease prediction of a mammal. An electrocardiogram (ECG) procedure is performed on a mammal, and a computer system obtains ECG data that describes results of the ECG over a period of time. The system provides a predictive input that is based on the ECG data to a predictive model, such as a neural network or other machine-learning model. In response, the predictive model processes the input to generate an estimated heart disease predictive characteristic of the mammal. The system outputs the estimated heart disease prediction of the mammal for presentation to a user.

The habit of bagworms is utilized to allow a bagworm to build a nest using solvent-soluble substances or thermally meltable substances as nest materials, followed by dissolving or melting the nest materials to separate the nest material from the bagworm silk threads, whereby only pure bagworm silk threads constituting the bagworm nest can be obtained.

Abstract: An On-Off Shift Keying (OOK) receiver has non-continuous Automatic Gain Control (AGC) that sets gain at the beginning of each frame and locks the gain setting for the remainder of the frame, preventing OOK data from causing AGC loop instability. An AGC controller initializes to maximum the gain settings for a Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA), Low-Pass Filter (LPF), and a Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) in series that power a rectifier generating a voltage output to a 1/0 data decision circuit. A level detector compares the voltage output to two thresholds. When both thresholds are exceeded, the AGC controller steps down gain settings until the voltage output is between the two thresholds, when the gain settings are locked for the remainder of the current frame. A frame detector resets the AGC controller between frames when a long series of 0 data between frames is detected. LNA gain is reduced last.
