Abstract: An extra-cardiovascular implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) having a high voltage therapy module is configured to control a high voltage charging circuit to charge a capacitor to a pacing voltage amplitude to deliver charge balanced pacing pulses. The capacitor is chargeable to a shock voltage amplitude that is greater than the pacing voltage amplitude. The ICD is configured to enable switching circuitry of the high voltage therapy module to discharge the capacitor to deliver a first pulse having a first polarity and a leading voltage amplitude corresponding to the pacing voltage amplitude for pacing the patient's heart via a pacing electrode vector selected from extra-cardiovascular electrodes. The high voltage therapy module delivers a second pulse after the first pulse. The second pulse has a second polarity opposite the first polarity and balances the electrical charge delivered during the first pulse.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to utilizing monitoring devices (200) for determining the demographics of individuals passing a particular geographic location. The monitoring devices (200) are distributed to a number of study respondents. The monitoring devices (200) track the movements of the respondents whose demographics are known. While various technologies may be used to track the movements of the respondents, at least some of the location tracking of the monitoring devices (200) utilize a satellite (105) location system such as the global positioning system (“GPS”). Geo data (movement data) collected by the monitoring devices is analyzed by a post-processing server (400) that determines the demographics of the study respondents that pass a chosen geographic location.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a method and system for controlling a volume of liquid to be drawn and metered. One embodiment relates to a restraining divider for a syringe for controlling a volume of liquid drawn and metered by the syringe comprising a grooved side with a first groove and a second groove. Either the first groove or the second groove fits a shaft of a plunger of the syringe, wherein the length of at least one of the first groove, the second groove or the groove side provides a gap between a compressed thumb flange of said syringe and the body of the syringe.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to utilizing monitoring devices (200) for determining the effectiveness of various locations, such as media display locations (150) for an intended purpose (media display exposure). The monitoring devices (200) are distributed to a number of study respondents. The monitoring devices (200) track the movements of the respondents. While various technologies may be used to track the movements of the respondents, at least some of the location tracking of the monitoring device (200) utilize a satellite (105) location system such as the global positioning system (“GPS”). These movements of the respondent and monitoring device (200) at some point coincide with exposure to a number of media displays (150). Geo data (movement data) collected by the monitoring devices, is downloaded to a download server (300), for determining which media displays (150) the respondent was exposed to. The exposure determinations are made by a post-processing server (400).

Abstract: Systems, including methods and apparatus, for dispensing biological fluids, such as allergens.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dispensing biological fluids. The system may provide supply (stock) vessels of refrigerated biological fluids that remain connected to dispensers as the dispensers are operated to distribute the biological fluids to receiver vessels. Each receiver vessel may be engaged selectively with a suitable set of one or more dispensers to select the type and amount of biological fluid to be dispensed to the receiver vessel. The dispensers may be configured to permit the biological fluids to be selectively dispensed to receiver vessels under sterile conditions, so that the biological fluids may remain in a substantially closed environment as they are transferred between vessels.
