  • Publication number: 20230388520
    Abstract: A system for generating an encoding of a lead of electrocardiogram (ECG) represented as an ECG image. The system identifies a reference pulse of the ECG image having a reference width pixel count, a reference height pixel count, a reference time, and a reference voltage. The system identifies a baseline pixel-row of a plotline of the ECG image that contains a graph of the lead. The system encodes per-pixel timing information based on the reference time and the reference width pixel count. The system, for a plurality of pixel-columns, identifies a voltage pixel-row of that pixel-column that has an ECG value of the graph and encodes a voltage based on distance between the baseline pixel-row and the voltage pixel-row and based on the reference voltage and the reference height pixel count.

  • Patent number: 11806080
    Abstract: Systems are provided for generating data representing electromagnetic states of a heart for medical, scientific, research, and/or engineering purposes. The systems generate the data based on source configurations such as dimensions of, and scar or fibrosis or pro-arrhythmic substrate location within, a heart and a computational model of the electromagnetic output of the heart. The systems may dynamically generate the source configurations to provide representative source configurations that may be found in a population. For each source configuration of the electromagnetic source, the systems run a simulation of the functioning of the heart to generate modeled electromagnetic output (e.g., an electromagnetic mesh for each simulation step with a voltage at each point of the electromagnetic mesh) for that source configuration.

  • Publication number: 20050250421
    Abstract: Artificial turf fibrillating apparatus have been disclosed. Methods for providing fibrillated artificial grass turf derived from artificial grass turf have been disclosed. The apparatus comprise a rotating rigid support member having a plurality of removable fibrillating members coupled to the support member. The apparatus are coupled to a power source. A plurality of broad artificial grass blades of an artificial grass turf are impacted by the fibrillating members when the support member is rotated with sufficient torque to provide a fibrillated artificial grass turf comprising a plurality of fibrillated artificial grass blades of random width having the appearance, feel and playing characteristics of a real grass turf.
