  • Patent number: 11534136
    Abstract: For three-dimensional segmentation from two-dimensional intracardiac echocardiography imaging, the three-dimension segmentation is output by a machine-learnt multi-task generator. The machine-learnt multi-task generator is trained from 3D information, such as a sparse ICE volume assembled from the 2D ICE images. The machine-learnt multi-task generator is trained to output both the 3D segmentation and a complete volume. The 3D segmentation may be used to project to 2D as an input with an ICE image to another network trained to output a 2D segmentation for the ICE image. Display of the 3D segmentation and/or 2D segmentation may guide ablation of tissue in the patient.

  • Patent number: 11539559
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a demodulator to demodulate a signal simultaneously transmitted over an isolation communication channel and obtain gate information and configuration information. The demodulator includes a gate demodulation path and a configuration demodulation path. The received signal oscillates at a first frequency to represent a first state, oscillates at different frequencies to represent a seconds state, oscillates at a third frequency (or third and fourth frequencies), which are lower than the first frequency, to represent a third state, and the received signal is steady state to represent a fourth state. The gate demodulation path detects the first and second states. The configuration demodulation path includes first and second sub-demodulation paths. An envelope detector in the first sub-demodulation path detects the second state and the second sub-demodulation path detects the third state. The configuration demodulation paths uses an output of the gate demodulation path.

  • Patent number: 11534618
    Abstract: Status messages are wirelessly broadcast from medical devices (e.g., defibrillators) as advertisements that don't require the establishment of a wireless connection with listeners. The listeners are configured to act on, or forward, received status messages as appropriate. The listeners may optionally include supplemental information supplied by the listener when forwarding a status message to a management server. The listener may optionally analyze received status messages to determine whether an action should be taken based at least in part on status information in the message. Actions performed by the listener may include initiating a connection with the transmitting device to facilitate uploading new information from the medical device, updating the medical device's firmware, etc. Optionally, some of the advertisements are configured as beacons. The advertisements/beacons may be transmitted using a Bluetooth Low Energy or other suitable protocols.

  • Patent number: 11540027
    Abstract: A video processing engine may receive a request for a video communication session, via a network to produce a video file key that is routed to the video camera. If the video camera is communicatively connected to a Wi-Fi 6 compatible wireless access point, it routes a high-quality video file to the Network Operation Center (NOC). Alternatively, using the video key file, the video camera generates message digests and watermarks that are embedded in a video camera generated high-quality video file and a degraded quality video file. The video camera routes, via the network, the degraded quality video file to the NOC, while the high-quality video file is uploaded to the NOC later. Subsequently, a video processing engine extracts the watermarks from the message digests of the video files and compares them to ensure that the high-quality video file correlates to the degraded quality video file.
