Abstract: A computer-implemented method of facilitating electrocardiogram (“ECG”) analysis involves receiving one or more sensed ECG traces for a patient, each of the sensed ECG traces representing sensed patient heart activity over a sensed time period, and, for each of the one or more sensed ECG traces: identifying a plurality of corresponding sensed ECG trace segments, each of the sensed ECG trace segments representing sensed patient heart activity for the patient over a segment of the sensed time period, and determining a representative ECG trace based on at least one of the identified corresponding sensed ECG trace segments. The method involves causing at least one neural network classifier to be applied to the one or more determined representative ECG traces to determine one or more diagnostically relevant scores related to at least one diagnosis of the patient. Other methods, systems, and computer readable media are disclosed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a cellulosic pulp process for producing a pulp product having a desired pulp property is disclosed. The method involves illuminating an in-process portion of pulp using a first wavelength of light, and receiving a scattered light spectrum from the illuminated portion of pulp, the scattered light spectrum including spectral components that have been shifted in wavelength through interaction with a constituent of the illuminated portion of pulp. The method also involves filtering the scattered light spectrum to separate the spectral components, and identifying spectral features in the filtered scattered light spectrum that correspond to the pulp property. The method further involves generating a control signal for controlling the pulp process based on variations in the identified spectral features to cause the pulp property to fall within a desired range.
