Patent number: 8972010Abstract: The present invention generally relates to implantable medical devices, such as pacemakers, and, in particular, to a method and an implantable medical device capable of detecting the presence of noise caused by external noise sources. Voltages and/or impedances are measured over one or several electrode configurations. Based on the measured voltages and/or impedances, noise parameters are calculated, which are compared with reference values to detect the presence of noise. In another aspect of the invention, at least two different electrode configurations with different noise pick-up areas are used in the measurement. Relations between the noise parameters of the at least two vectors are calculated and compared with reference relations to detect the presence of noise.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2009Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: St. Jude Medical ABInventors: Allan Olson, Lars Karlsson, Marcus Berner

Publication number: 20120276268Abstract: Extruded, directly expanded, high fiber reduced calorie food products, such as a ready-to-eat (RTE) cereal or sweet or savory snack, are produced at high production rates without substantial loss of extrusion functionality and extrudability by replacing a substantial portion of at least one flour with a gelatinized, enzyme-resistant starch type III ingredient or bulking agent as a reduced-calorie, high fiber flour replacer. The resistant starch type III ingredient or bulking agent contains an enzyme-resistant starch type III having a melting point with an endothermic peak temperature of at least about 140° C., and may have a water-holding capacity of less than 3 grams water per gram of the starch-based bulking agent.

Patent number: 7987452Abstract: An apparatus, program product and method utilize metadata collected for a lock in a computer program to determine an optimal lock acquisition strategy for the lock. The metadata is typically collected via profiling of the computer program to determine a wait characteristic for the lock in the particular runtime environment in which the computer program executes, and the metadata is used to select from among different lock access implementations to be used to attempt to acquire the lock, often enabling an optimum lock access implementation to be selected for a lock.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2005Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Curtis Duane Kronlund, Scott Alan Moore, Gregory Allan Olson, Mark Douglas Schroeder

Patent number: 7917589Abstract: In an embodiment, an instant message is received that includes data, a privacy indication, and an override indication. In an embodiment, if the privacy indication specifies that the data is non-private, then the data is presented. But, if the privacy indication specifies that the data is private, then a privacy notice is presented and the data is hidden until an acknowledgment of the privacy notice is received. The privacy notice may include a prompt for the acknowledgment. In an embodiment, if the privacy indication specifies that the data is private and the override indication allows the privacy indication to be overridden, the data is presented. In another embodiment, if the privacy indication specifies that the data is private, the override indication allows the privacy indication to be overridden, and a time period since a user interface device received input is less than a threshold amount of time, then the data is presented.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2006Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Curtis Duane Kronlund, Scott Alan Moore, Gregory Allan Olson

Patent number: 7917204Abstract: In a method and device for measuring an electrical bio-impedance of a patient at least one impedance measurement signal is generated by a current pulse generator, the signal having at least one asymmetric multiphasic impedance measurement waveform that is asymmetric in term of pulse amplitude and/or pulse width relative to the operating voltage of the current pulse generator. The waveform has a DC component that is substantially equal to zero, and is adapted to the available voltage headroom of an implantable device that contains the current pulse generator. The impedance measurement signal with the aforementioned waveform is applied to a patient and a resulting impedance signal is produced thereby, from which at least one impedance value is determined.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2005Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignee: St. Jude Medical ABInventors: Allan Olson, Louis Wong

Patent number: 7770173Abstract: An apparatus, program product and method improve management of available computing resources by adjusting use of the resource over a first interval according to actual use of the resource during a second interval. This feature enables a computing resource to exceed its normal limits during the first interval of operation. Use during the second interval may be limited to balance out the burst, or excessive resource usage of the first interval.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2005Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Charles Richard Farrell, Curtis Duane Kronlund, Scott Alan Moore, Gregory Allan Olson
