  • Publication number: 20240075301
    Abstract: An implantable medical device configured to provide for an intracardiac function comprises a body, a sensor arrangement arranged on the body and configured to receive a cardiac sense signal, and a processing circuitry operatively connected to the sensor arrangement. The processing circuitry is configured to process the cardiac sense signal received using the sensor arrangement to detect, in a cardiac cycle, a first atrial event candidate based on a comparison of the cardiac sense signal with a sense threshold, to determine a modified sense threshold, to monitor, by comparing the cardiac sense signal to said modified sense threshold following the detection of the first atrial event candidate, whether in the same cardiac cycle a second atrial event candidate is detected.

  • Patent number: 11907541
    Abstract: Techniques for providing an adaptive approach to prefetching data for sequential read streams in a storage system. The techniques can include performing prefetch operations for a sequential read stream in accordance with a prefetch distance and a prefetch size, counting or otherwise keeping track of occurrences of failure scenarios in the prefetch operations while servicing the sequential read stream, and modifying or adjusting one of the prefetch distance and the prefetch size based on the occurrences of the respective failure scenarios. In this way, host input/output (IO) latency can be reduced, and IO bandwidth can be increased, in the servicing of sequential read streams by the storage system.

  • Publication number: 20240042217
    Abstract: An implantable medical device configured to provide for an intracardiac function comprises a body, a sensor arrangement arranged on the body and configured to receive cardiac sense signals, and a processing circuitry operatively connected to the sensor arrangement. The processing circuitry is configured to process cardiac sense signals received using the sensor arrangement to detect atrial events caused by atrial activity based on a comparison of the cardiac sense signals to a sense threshold for a number of cardiac cycles, to evaluate whether a reduction criterion is fulfilled, wherein the reduction criterion is fulfilled if in X1 out of Y1 cardiac cycles no atrial events have been detected, X1 being a natural number equal to or larger than 1 and Y1 being a natural number equal to or larger than X1, and to reduce the sense threshold if said reduction criterion is fulfilled.
