Abstract: Described herein is a method of making a fluoropolymer, the method comprising: providing an aqueous mixture comprising a fluorinated monomer, and an initiator; polymerizing the aqueous mixture under free radical conditions; and adding perfluoromethyl iodide during the polymerization to provide an aqueous dispersion of the fluoropolymer, wherein the amount of perfluorooctanoic acid or salt thereof in the aqueous dispersion of the fluoropolymer is not more than 25 nanograms per gram of the fluoropolymer.

Abstract: An ECG processing system for identifying noisy ECG data segments is provided. The ECG processing system includes a network interface and a processor. The network interface is configured to receive a first collection of ECG data segments from wearable medical devices associated with a plurality of patients, each wearable medical device of the wearable medical devices being configured to be continuously worn by a patient for an extended period of time. The processor is configured to produce a second collection of ECG data segments from the first collection of ECG data segments that excludes noisy ECG data segments.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products identify arrhythmias experienced by a patient. A system includes an external wearable heart monitoring device for continuous and long-term monitoring of a patient that includes electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes and circuitry to sense surface ECG activity and provide ECG channel(s) producing ECG signal(s), a non-transitory computer-readable medium including an arrhythmia classifier including neural network(s), and processor(s). The neural network(s) are trained based on a historical collection of ECG signal portions with annotation data including at least one annotation for each ECG signal portion and based on weight data including a weight for each annotation based on the annotator thereof. The processor(s) receive the ECG signal(s), monitor the ECG signal(s) to detect at least one arrhythmia event based on the arrhythmia classifier, and transmit at least one communication based on the arrhythmia event(s) to a remote computer system.

Abstract: The process includes providing an aqueous mixture including perfluorinated monomers, a fluoroalkyl sulfinic acid or salt thereof, and an oxidizing agent capable of oxidizing the fluoroalkyl sulfinic acid or salt thereof and polymerizing the perfluorinated Nmonomers under free radical conditions to provide an aqueous dispersion of the fluoropolymer. The fluoroalkyl group has from one to three carbon atoms. The amount of perfluorooctanoic acid or salt thereof in the aqueous dispersion of the fluoropolymer as polymerized is not more than 25 nanograms per gram of the fluoropolymer. A fluoropolymer made by the process is also described.

Abstract: A document audit system includes a digital controller, a document data entry device, and a document report generator. The document data entry device is in communication with the digital controller. The document report generator is in communication with the digital controller. The digital controller is programmed to cause characteristic document data indicative of the characteristics of each of a plurality of selected documents to be received, compare the characteristic document data for each document to migration data metrics which specify the characteristic document data of documents that can appropriately be assigned to one of a plurality of migration categories, save the identities of the documents having characteristic document data that meet document data specified by the migration data metrics for the one of the plurality of migration categories, and enable the document report generator to generate a migration report.
