Abstract: A contribution encoder receives media from a source, encodes the media, and transmits the encoded media to a network-adaptive encoding system for eventual distribution to end users. The network-adaptive encoding system tests a network connection between the contribution encoder and the network-adaptive encoding system before transmission of the encoded media begins. The network-adaptive encoding system uses the results of the test to select appropriate values for parameters that define the encoding and transmission of the media. The selected parameter values are transmitted by the network-adaptive encoding system to the contribution encoder for use in encoding and transmitting the media.

Abstract: A method includes collecting a plurality of bipolar electrograms and respective unipolar electrograms of patients, the electrograms including annotations in which one or more human reviewers have identified and marked a window-of-interest and one or more activation times inside the window-of-interest. A ground truth data set is generated from the electrograms, for training at least one electrogram-preprocessing step of a Machine Learning (ML) algorithm. The ML algorithm is applied to the electrograms, to at least train the at least one electrogram-preprocessing step, so as to detect an occurrence of an activation in a given bipolar electrogram within the window-of-interest.

Abstract: A computing environment is disclosed that receives from devices requests directed toward services accessible in the environment, and that forwards communications from services in the environment to devices registered with the environment. During a registration process at the environment, devices are assigned a device identifier that is used to identify and authenticate each particular device and requests communicated from and to the device via the environment. The computing environment maintains state information for each device that has been registered with the system. As the device interacts with the system, the state information is updated to reflect the changes in the device. When requests to perform functions are received from devices, the computing environment determines for the particular device and the particular function requested what processing needs to be performed by the environment in response to the request.
