  • Publication number: 20230201612
    Abstract: In some examples, an apparatus configured to be worn by a patient for cardiac defibrillation comprises sensing electrodes configured to sense a cardiac signal of the patient, defibrillation electrodes, therapy delivery circuitry configured to deliver defibrillation therapy to the patient via the defibrillation electrodes, communication circuitry configured to receive data of at least one physiological signal of the patient from at least one sensing device separate from the apparatus, a memory configured to store the data, the cardiac signal, and a machine learning algorithm, and processing circuitry configured to apply the machine learning algorithm to the data and the cardiac signal to probabilistically-determine at least one state of the patient and determine whether to control delivery of the defibrillation therapy based on the at least one probabilistically-determined patient state.

  • Patent number: 5478773
    Abstract: An electronic device (10) comprises a copper integrated inductor (11) overlying other solid state components (31) of the device (10). Preferably, the copper inductor (11) is formed of plated copper to a thickness of several microns. The preferred integrated inductor (11) provides significant advantage over external inductors of the past with respect to simplicity of manufacture as well as system size and cost. Additionally, the preferred inductor (11) provides improved inductance per area, lower series resistance and higher Q values, relative to inductors of the past.
