Abstract: The disclosure describes various aspects of an automated external defibrillator (AED) system, including shock generating electronics, a battery configured for providing power to the shock generating electronics, power management circuitry configured for managing the shock generating electronics and the battery, at least one environmental sensor configured for monitoring environmental conditions in which the AED system is placed, and a controller configured for controlling the power management circuitry and the at least one environmental sensor. The at least one environmental sensor includes a temperature sensor configured for providing a temperature measurement, and the controller is further configured for adjusting operations of the power management circuitry in accordance with the temperature measurement provided by the temperature sensor. The disclosure further describes associated methods of using the AED system.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products enable companies to consistently repurchase corporate stock at a price below the industry-standard Volume Weighted Average Pricing (VWAP). Historical trade data is analyzed to identify prior prime purchasing opportunities that are used in determining a baseline. During each trading period, as a favorable purchasing opportunity arises, the amount of corporate stock to be purchased is adjusted based upon the strength of the current pricing when compared to the baseline. That is, when the current pricing is identified as being highly favorable, more shares of corporate stock are purchased. Accordingly, this dynamic purchasing scheme allows companies to consistently repurchase corporate stock at favorable prices.
