Publication number: 20240099640Abstract: A system for interpreting electrocardiograms receives a first electrocardiogram waveform, and identifies a feature in the first electrocardiogram waveform. The system retrieves one or more second electrocardiogram waveforms recorded at a point in time prior to the first electrocardiogram waveform. The system extracts the feature from the one or more second electrocardiogram waveforms, and generates one or more interpretive statements based on a comparison of the feature identified in the first electrocardiogram and the feature extracted from the one or more second electrocardiogram waveforms.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Patrick James Noffke, Johannes de Bie, Ryan Donlon, Jennifer L. Ireland, Jeffrey D. Ryan, Sharone Zlochiver

Publication number: 20240087424Abstract: A gaming device for dynamically configuring a composite feature game based on a first feature game and a second feature game. When the composite feature game is triggered, a game controller determines respective current states of a first feature game and a second feature game. The current state of the first feature game comprises a first unenhanced state that has a first unenhanced play characteristic and a first enhanced state that has a first enhanced play characteristic. The current state of the second feature game comprises a second unenhanced state that has a second unenhanced play characteristic and a second enhanced state that has a second unenhanced play characteristic. The game controller dynamically incorporates one of the first enhanced play characteristic and one of the second unenhanced play characteristic and the second unenhanced play characteristic into a composite play characteristic.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: James Loader, Karen Kendall, Luke Ireland, Antoon Visser, Joshua Matos

Patent number: 11026553Abstract: A mop tool incorporating a resilient deformable polymer mop head adapted to operatively connect to an elongated handle. The mop head has a concave lower face for positioning in opposing relation to a disposable cleaning element. Hooking elements project downwardly away from the lower face for operative engagement with the disposable cleaning element. The concave lower face defines a resilient collapsible arch having an apex substantially at the center of the mop head.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2018Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: CONTEC INC.Inventors: Layne Z Ross, James Ireland

Patent number: 8693183Abstract: An adapter for a ruggedized personal digital assistant (RPDA) may include a generally L-shaped housing with first and second legs. The first leg may have a generally tubular shape and may include a protruding ridge that is slidable in a stylus groove of the RPDA. The first leg may include a connector for a multi-function cable and an opening for a communication cable. The second leg may include a power connector for engaging the power-in port of the RPDA and a serial data connector for engaging the serial data port of the RPDA. A multi-function cable assembly may be disposed in the first leg and may connect to the multi-function cable connector. Inside the first leg, the multi-function cable assembly may split into a plurality of cables for connecting to the RPDA.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2010Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Patti Alameda, David J. Rychalsky, James Ireland

Publication number: 20080206779Abstract: The invention provides a method for genotyping interfering polymorphic loci in a target polynucleotide, such as a strand of genomic DNA, in a multiplex hybridization-based assay. The invention also provides nucleic acid standards for validating the performance of such hybridization-based assays. In one aspect, the method of the invention is carried out by providing for each interfering polymorphic locus one or more probes so that at least one probe is capable of forming a perfectly match duplex at the locus regardless of the characteristic sequence of an adjacent polymorphism.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2008Publication date: August 28, 2008Applicant: Affymetrix, INC.Inventors: Xin Miao, James Ireland, Paul Hardenbol, Thomas Matthew Daly, Dong-Jing Fu, Richard D. Hockett

Publication number: 20070181299Abstract: The invention provides an improved method for extracting heavy oil or bitumen contained in a reservoir. The invention involves directing the formation of a solvent fluid chamber through the combination of directed solvent fluid injection and production at combinations of horizontal and/or vertical injection wells so as to increase the recovery of heavy oil or bitumen contained in a reservoir. The wells are preferably provided with flow control devices to achieve uniform production.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2007Publication date: August 9, 2007Applicant: Nexen Inc.Inventors: Bernard Chung, Mintu Bose, Stewart Morton, Kenneth Elkow, Ed Erlendson, Frances Lai, David Meeks, Kenneth Oberg, Louis Leung, James Ireland
