Abstract: A defibrillator (AED) using an ECG analysis model or algorithm which can function in two different modes. The ECG analysis model is particularly suited for analysis during periods of CPR. Both modes of operation reach a shock decision in essentially the same way, where one or more ECG data segments indicate a shockable cardiac condition. In one mode of operation, the shock decision is irreversible once made. In another mode of operation, the shock decision is reversible if one or more subsequent ECG data segments indicate a no-shock decision. Improved specificity of the model is obtained without undue degradation of sensitivity to shockable ECG.

The systems and methods further detect a selection of a first image processing operation and perform the first image processing operation on the first image data to generate second image data. The systems and methods further detect a selection of a second image processing operation and perform the second image processing operation on the second image data to generate third image data. The systems and methods generate a message comprising the third image data.

Abstract: A method for industrial production of a butadiene-isoprene copolymer rubber having a trans-1,4-structure (TBIR) and an apparatus for implementing the method. The production method includes: pumping a predetermined amount of a butadiene and an isoprene into a polymerization reactor, and performing bulk polymerization in the presence of a catalyst to obtain TBIR; performing extrusion, devolatilization, granulation and drying on the produced TBIR, and then packaging the produced TBIR; and separating unreacted monomers by a recovery and separation device followed by separately refining the unreacted monomers, and then returning the unreacted monomers to a batching device or a storage tank. The production apparatus has a recovery and refining unit, a polymerization unit, a post-treatment unit and a utility unit. By the production apparatus and the production method industrial production of TBIR by bulk polymerization is realized.

Abstract: An automated external defibrillator (AED) is described which includes two electrocardiogram (ECG) analyzers. One of the ECG analyzers is suitable for use only for ECG which is signal-noise-free, and thus may be used during “hands-off” analysis periods in which no cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) compressions can be provided. The length of the “hands-off” analysis period can be shortened by use of the second ECG analyzer in concert with the first ECG analyzer. Thus, a greater proportion of CPR time through the course of a cardiac arrest rescue is achieved.

Abstract: A method comprising receiving an input video signal comprising high dynamic range (HDR) video for presentation on a display device, and receiving metadata for the input video signal. The metadata comprises a first Bezier curve for tone mapping of the HDR video that fits a first peak luminance level. The method further comprises adjusting the first Bezier curve to a second Bezier curve for tone mapping of the HDR video that fits a second peak luminance level. The display device has the second peak luminance level, and the second peak luminance level is different from the first peak luminance level. The method further comprises producing a tone mapped video signal of the input video signal utilizing the second Bezier curve. The tone mapped video signal is provided to the display device for presentation.

Abstract: An apparatus and method provides improved guidance instructions to providers of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) compressions in a cardiac arrest event.

The prompts may be aural or visual.

Abstract: A heart rate monitor (40) for detecting a pulse of a person (10) employs a platform (43), a plurality of multi-axis accelerometers (41R, 41L) and a pulse detector (44). The multi-axis accelerometers (41R, 41L) are adjoined to the platform (43) to generate differential mode signals (AZR, AZL) indicative of a sensing by the accelerometers (41) of physiological motion (12) of the person (10) relative to acceleration sensing axes (42R, 42L) and to generate common mode signals (AXR, AXL, AYR, AYL) indicative of a sensing by the accelerometers (41R, 41L) of extraneous motion by the person (10) relative to the acceleration sensing axes (42R, 42L). The pulse detector (44) is operably connected to the multi-axis accelerometers (41R, 41L) to generate a pulse signal (PS)as a function of a vertical alignment of the acceleration sensing axes (42R, 42L) combining the differential mode signals (AZR, AZL) and cancelling the common mode signals (AXR, AXL, AYR, AYL).

Abstract: A solution for compatibility between TUI display and Android display is provided. Based on a native control provided by a rich operating system, a customized secure control is further added, thereby simplifying TUI development. Further, the rich operating system performs drawing processing on a native control in a user interface, synchronizes a non-secure surface obtained after processing to a frame buffer of a trusted operating system on a TEE side, and transfers identified information about a secure control in the user interface to the trusted operating system on the TEE side. The trusted operating system processes drawing processing on the secure control based on the information about the secure control and a customization method corresponding to the secure control, composites a secure surface and the non-secure surface that are obtained after processing, and then displays a composited surface by using a display.

Abstract: A defibrillator (AED) and method for using a defibrillator using two different ECG analysis algorithms which work sequentially to improve the accuracy of AED shock decisions. A first algorithm, such as (ART), is particularly suited for analysis in the presence of CPR periods. A second algorithm, such as (PAS), is particularly suited for analysis during hands-off periods. The AED switches algorithms depending on the period and on the current analysis of the cardiac rhythm. The inventions thus provide an optimized ECG analysis scheme in a manner that improves the effectiveness of the rescue, resulting in more CPR “hands-on” time, better treatment of refibrillation, and reduced transition times between CPR and electrotherapy.

Abstract: A method and associated apparatus (12) detects the presence and quality of chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by analyzing existing signals in automated external defibrillator (AED) devices without using a stand-alone CPR meter. The method includes analyzing both a thoracic impedance signal and a common-mode current signal, each of which can be measured with standard AED pads (18). The method applies criteria to the measured signals, the criteria being used to select which of the measured signals to use for providing CPR chest compression detections.
