Publication number: 20160143590Abstract: Embodiments include an electrocardiography system that includes or is connected to a sensor arrangement, wherein the sensor arrangement includes surface electrodes that record electric signals. The electrocardiography system includes a signal processing unit, with filters and amplifiers, which is electrically connected to the sensor arrangement. The electrocardiography system includes a signal evaluation unit connected via a first signal input to the signal processing unit. The signal evaluation unit processes one or more prepared ECG signals provided by the signal processing unit in order to recover an electrocardiogram signal and to display the electrocardiogram signal. The signal evaluation unit includes a second signal input that receives secondary signals obtained by body sensors or monitors, wherein the signal evaluation unit processes the prepared ECG signals depending on the secondary signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2015Publication date: May 26, 2016Applicant: BIOTRONIK SE & CO.

Patent number: 8271092Abstract: A swallowing stimulation system has a swallowing stimulator for use in triggering an act of swallowing in a patient. The swallowing system has an operating unit including operating elements for receiving user inputs, whereby the operating elements are allocated to different possible physical properties of a food, such that a user can allocate a particular food by means of the operating elements to at least one of at least two categories. The operating unit is designed to generate a control signal corresponding to a user input for the swallowing stimulator, and the swallowing stimulator is designed so that a stimulus for triggering an act of swallowing is formed in response to the control signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2010Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Biotronik CRM Patent AGInventor: Jens Philipp

Patent number: 8239019Abstract: An implantable electrostimulation device having at least three input channels, (each forming a sensing channel), which are each connected to at least one electrode or to one terminal for an electrode, using which at least three different electrical potentials accompanying an excitation of cardiac tissue (myocardium) in a heart may be detected. Uses a signal processing unit which is connected to the input channels and is implemented to analyze the time curve of the potentials detected via the three sensing channels as three input signals in chronological relation to a periodically repeating trigger signal, which triggers a time window, and which is also implemented to detect predefined signal features for each of the three input signals within the time window triggered by the trigger signal, store them, and compare them to corresponding signal features of preceding time windows or of another input channel within the same time window.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2006Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Biotronik CRM Patent AGInventors: Thomas Dörr, Andreas Kucher, Jens Philipp, Ingo Weiss
