  • Patent number: 11337637
    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and techniques for analyzing and applying features of a T-wave derived from an electrocardiogram. A computing system can receive a set of data that characterizes an electrocardiogram of a patient. The system can analyze the set of data to identify a T-wave that occurs in the electrocardiogram. The system can determine values of one or more features of the T-wave and provide the information that identifies the values of the one or more features of the T-wave to a user.

  • Publication number: 20180350468
    Abstract: Among the techniques described herein is a method that includes obtaining data indicating electrocardiogram results from a human. A plurality of beats represented in the electrocardiogram results can be identified. For each beat in the plurality of beats represented in the electrocardiogram results, a value for a first feature of the beat can be determined. Statistical analysis can be performed on the values for the first feature of the plurality of beats. An indication of the level of the analyte within the human can be generated based on a result of the statistical analysis performed on the values for the first feature of the plurality of beats. The indication of the level of the analyte within the human can be provided.

  • Publication number: 20160256063
    Abstract: This document describes, among other things, a computer-implemented method that includes accessing, by a computer system, electrogram data for a patient, wherein the electrogram data is obtained using one or more leads that sense physiological electrical activity of the patient. The computer system can identify one or more waveform features from the electrogram data, and one or more correlations between values of the one or more waveform features and analyte levels. One or more estimated analyte levels in the patient are determined based on 1) the one or more waveform features identified from the electrogram data and 2) the one or more correlations. The computer system can output information related to the one or more estimated analyte levels.

  • Patent number: 8485289
    Abstract: A method and associated apparatus for controlling fluid levels within an axle tube, the method comprising: (a) establishing a first predetermined level of a liquid lubricant within a transmission and an electric motor operatively coupled to the electric motor, the axle tube housing the electric motor and the transmission, where a cavity interposing a wall of the axle tube and the electric motor is occupied by the liquid lubricant reservoir at a second predetermined level; and, (b) lowering the first predetermined level of a liquid lubricant within the electric motor and the transmission by changing a gas pressure exerted upon the liquid lubricant, where changing the gas pressure exerted upon the liquid lubricant within the axle tube raises the second predetermined level of liquid lubricant within the cavity.
