Abstract: A system that analyzes alarms from patient monitoring devices that trigger after a configurable delay time, and that calculates modified delay times that reduce the number of alarms to a desired level. This capability addresses the common problem of alarm overload and fatigue, where alarms occur so frequently that clinicians cannot respond effectively. The system supports highly efficient calculation of changes in alarm frequency, by storing summaries of alarm data that record alarm durations and first values during the alarm. New delays may be selected manually or automatically and may be transmitted directly to the patient monitoring devices as updates to their alarm delay times. The system may also estimate a current delay time when devices do not provide this data. The system may also estimate the number of additional alarms that would occur if an alarm delay were reduced.

Abstract: An isolated gate driver has a first portion in a first voltage domain and a second portion in a second voltage domain. The first and second portions are coupled by an isolation communication channel. The isolated gate driver transmits across the isolation communication channel a serial word containing first drive strength information and simultaneously transmits gate information with the serial word across the isolation communication channel. The gate information indicates a state of a gate signal for a transistor coupled to the second portion of the isolated gate driver. A demodulator circuit demodulates a signal containing the gate information and the drive strength information transmitted across the isolation communication channel in the serial word. A gate signal output circuit coupled to the demodulator circuit supplies the gate signal based on the gate information with a drive strength of the gate signal being based on the drive strength information.

Abstract: Various embodiments leverage artificial intelligence in identifying and potentially resolving compliance issues (e.g., with regulatory requirements, client-specified requirements, certification conditions, etc.), or preventing violations of law, rules and regulations. The AI can be configured to automatically generate requests for information. For example, a system analysis component can be configured to identify a specific compliance target (e.g., a branch location) and select or automatically generate questions to collect responsive information to ensure compliance, identify potential violations, and define any evidence required to identify or resolve issues (e.g., prove compliance, support potential violations, flagged issues, etc.). According to one example, the system can use trained AI models to analyze a set of rules and/or requirements to efficiently build questionnaires to address or demonstrate compliance.
