  • Patent number: 11944461
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for generating representative cardiac information. The representative cardiac information may be based on a plurality of electrode signals monitored, or measured, over a plurality of cardiac cycles or heart beats. The systems and methods may remove unqualified cardiac cycles, remove invalid electrode signals, remove inconsistent cardiac cycles, and removing uncorrelated cardiac cycles, and then generate representative cardiac information based on the remaining cardiac cycles and electrode signals.

  • Publication number: 20240068135
    Abstract: Interlacing equipment may be used to form fabric and to create a gap in the fabric. The fabric may include one or more conductive strands. An insertion tool may be used to align an electrical component with the conductive strands during interlacing operations. A soldering tool may be used to remove insulation from the conductive strands to expose conductive segments on the conductive strands. The soldering tool may be used to solder the conductive segments to the electrical component. The solder connections may be located in grooves in the electrical component. An encapsulation tool may dispense encapsulation material in the grooves to encapsulate the solder connections. After the electrical component is electrically connected to the conductive strands, the insertion tool may position and release the electrical component in the gap. A component retention tool may temporarily be used to retain the electrical component in the gap as interlacing operations continue.

  • Publication number: 20180157854
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices configured to build and utilize an intelligent cipher transfer object are provided. The intelligent cipher transfer object includes a set of participants protected by cloaking patterns. A portable dynamic rule set, which includes executable code for managing access to the protected set of participants, is included within the intelligent cipher transfer object. For a given user, the intelligent cipher transfer object may provide access to some of the participants while preventing access to other participants, based on the portable dynamic rule set therein.

  • Publication number: 20170029982
    Abstract: Elastic fibers are disclosed which have a relatively flat modulus curve at between 100% and 200% elongation. The fibers can be made into garments having a very comfortable feel. The preferred elastic fibers are made from thermoplastic polyurethane polymers and are made by a unique melt spinning process where the fiber is wound into bobbins at a speed just slightly higher than the melt velocity of the polymer exiting the spinneret.

  • Publication number: 20160053408
    Abstract: The present invention relates to high strength fabrics made thereof from thin gauge constant compression elastic fibers. Elastic fibers are disclosed which have a relatively flat modulus curve, for example between 100% and 200% elongation. Garments made with the constant compression elastic fibers have a more comfortable feel to the wearer. The garments are also resistant to puncture due to the high strength fabric made with the elastic fibers.

  • Patent number: 8624550
    Abstract: An adapter for providing a source of power to a mobile device through an industry standard port is provided. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the adapter comprises a plug unit, a power converter, a primary connector, and an identification subsystem. The plug unit is operative to couple the adapter to a power socket and operative to receive energy from the power socket. The power converter is electrically coupled to the plug unit and is operable to regulate the received energy from the power socket and to output a power requirement to the mobile device. The primary connector is electrically coupled to the power converter and is operative to couple to the mobile device and to deliver the outputted power requirement to the mobile device. The identification subsystem is electrically coupled to the primary connector and is operative to provide an identification signal.
