Abstract: A vehicular headlamp control system includes a camera disposed at an in-cabin side of a windshield of a vehicle. The vehicle includes a headlamp that is switchable between a higher beam state and a lower beam state. The vehicular headlamp control system, with the vehicle traveling along a road, and at least in part via processing by an image processor of image data captured by the camera, detects presence of a leading vehicle traveling along the road ahead of the vehicle. Based at least in part on curvature of a curved section of the road ahead of the vehicle, the vehicular headlamp control system limits switching of the headlamp of the vehicle to the higher beam state. The curved section of the road ahead of the vehicle may be a curved on-ramp of the road or a curved off-ramp of the road.

Abstract: A medical device is configured to detect an atrial tachyarrhythmia episode. The device senses a cardiac signal, identifies R-waves in the cardiac signal attendant ventricular depolarizations and determines classification factors from the R-waves identified over a predetermined time period. The device classifies the predetermined time period as one of unclassified, atrial tachyarrhythmia and non-atrial tachyarrhythmia by comparing the determined classification factors to classification criteria. A classification criterion is adjusted from a first classification criterion to a second classification criterion after at least one time period being classified as atrial tachyarrhythmia. An atrial tachyarrhythmia episode is detected by the device in response to at least one subsequent time period being classified as atrial tachyarrhythmia based on the adjusted classification criterion.
