Publication number: 20220323146Abstract: Radiometric systems may comprise a radiometer, an antenna and a processor communicatively coupled together. The processor may provide a contact-focused output based on filtering or other processing of a raw radiometric output signal. The contact-focused output may facilitate determination of whether contact has been achieved and/or assessment of contact. A miniaturized reflectometer may be configured to determine an amount of reflected power from the antenna. The processor may be configured to determine a reflection coefficient of the reflected power determined by the reflectometer and to identify tissue type based on the reflection coefficient. Systems and methods for facilitating deeper temperature measurements of a radiometer are described.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2022Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventors: Dorin Panescu, Jessi E. Johnson, Josef Vincent Koblish, John F. McCarthy

Publication number: 20220248956Abstract: Disclosed are various examples and embodiments of systems, devices, components and methods configured to classify, and to detect at least one location or type of at least one source of, at least one cardiac rhythm disorder in a patient's heart using one or more body surface electrodes, and/or intracardiac electrodes. Body surface electrogram data, and optionally intracardiac electrode data, representative of cardiac signals acquired from the patient are provided to a computing device, which in turn determines the location and type of the at least one source of the at least one cardiac rhythm disorder in the patient's heart using electrographic flow (EGF) methods, and then classifies same using electrographic volatility index (EVI) methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2021Publication date: August 11, 2022Inventors: Philip Haeusser, Peter Ruppersberg, Melissa Huang Szu-Min Kong, Josef Vincent Koblish
