  • Publication number: 20150224321
    Abstract: A device and method that detects a lead failure condition for a lead having at least one electrode in contact with body tissue, wherein the lead is connected to the device. The device includes a first filter that filters an electric signal sensed by the at least one electrode to a first filtered signal, and a lead failure detection unit that detects signal characteristics of the first filtered signal. The lead failure detection unit indicates a lead failure condition when the detected signal characteristics correspond to a step response of the first filter.

  • Patent number: 8793271
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for searching a plurality of documents using a dynamically defined ignore string. The ignore string may be specified by a user. An overlay index may be generated over the plurality of documents. The overlay index may include a posting list for each term in the ignore string. Each posting list may specify the documents of the plurality of documents in which the respective term occurs outside of the ignore string. The overlay index may also include a posting list that specifies all occurrences of the ignore string in the plurality of documents. Once generated, a user may search the plurality of documents while occurrences of the ignore string in the plurality of documents are ignored in text-based searches.

  • Patent number: 8684308
    Abstract: An arrangement for receiving a curtain rail for a curtain for partitioning at least two regions in a cabin of a vehicle includes a bottom facing the floor of the cabin, and a top facing the ceiling of the cabin. The bottom is essentially planar and is designed to receive the curtain rail. The top is designed to cover the space between a curtain held in the curtain rail and the ceiling of the cabin of the vehicle. The bottom includes means for the variable-position holding of attachment points to which the curtain rail can be fastened. Consequently the curtain rails can be affixed flexibly and so as to be subsequently changeable within the region of the arrangement, thereby contributing to such arrangements so as to be able to be standardized for a multitude of imaginable cabin layouts of a vehicle, to be able to minimize individual customization work and construction expenditure.
