  • Publication number: 20230414155
    Abstract: A method includes receiving—by a first computing system—electrocardiogram (ECG) data and metadata associated with the ECG data, where the metadata includes an initial cardiac event classification and an initial beat classification for beats occurring during a first event associated with the initial cardiac event classification. The method further includes causing the ECG data to be displayed in a user interface (UI) and receiving a command, via the UI, to change the initial beat classifications to subsequent beat classifications. The method also includes automatically modifying, by the first computing system, the initial cardiac event classification to a subsequent cardiac event classification based on the subsequent beat classifications.

  • Publication number: 20230409663
    Abstract: An automatic differentiation (AD) technique and implementation processes multi-physics solver code entirely on graphics processing units (GPUs) to automatically differentiate one or more outputs of the code with respect to one or more inputs. The technique provides a “factory” framework that ingests arbitrarily complex solver code to produce a version of the code that is automatically differentiated (AD code) and mapped to the GPUs. The technique provides a derivative of the solver code output with respect to the inputs that enables analysis of the output of the computed solver code with initially provided inputs coherent with sensitivity analysis of that output as the inputs are changed. The adjoint information derived from solver code execution (AD code) computed by the AD technique may also be used to estimate one or more estimates of the numerical error in a solution to the physical simulation.

  • Publication number: 20230410428
    Abstract: A technique manages graphics processing units (GPUs), as well as associated algorithm advancements, to improve and effectively hide computational costs of adaptive mesh refinement (AMR). A cloud-based framework dynamically utilizes a distributed pool of the GPUs to parallelize computations of physical simulation software (solver) partitioned across multiple GPUs. A highly parallelized and distributed architecture of the framework provides a hybrid approach that operates partly on GPUs, e.g., to perform the solver computations, and partly on general-purpose processing units (CPUs) to accelerate portions of AMR and mesh processing of an AMR module. In an illustrative embodiment, the technique leverages the GPUs to perform as much of the AMR module processing (e.g., algorithms that rely on fixed topology) that can be naturally and efficiently implemented on the GPUs, while maintaining those portions of processing that do not naturally map onto the GPUs (e.g., algorithms with dynamic topology changes) on CPUs.

  • Patent number: 11849065
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention are detection systems and methods for detecting call provenance based on call audio. An exemplary embodiment of the detection system can comprise a characterization unit, a labeling unit, and an identification unit. The characterization unit can extract various characteristics of networks through which a call traversed, based on call audio. The labeling unit can be trained on prior call data and can identify one or more codecs used to encode the call, based on the call audio. The identification unit can utilize the characteristics of traversed networks and the identified codecs, and based on this information, the identification unit can provide a provenance fingerprint for the call. Based on the call provenance fingerprint, the detection system can identify, verify, or provide forensic information about a call audio source.

  • Patent number: 11844940
    Abstract: A blood pump assembly can include various components such as a housing and a sensor configured to detect one or more characteristics of the blood. In some embodiments, the sensor can be coupled to the housing and can include a sensor membrane configured to deflect in response to a change in a blood parameter (e.g., pressure). The blood pump assembly can include a shield that covers at least a portion of the sensor membrane so as to protect the sensor from damage when the blood pump assembly is inserted through an introducer and navigated through the patient's vasculature and/or when the blood pump assembly is inserted into the heart in a surgical procedure. One or more protective layers can be deposited over the sensor membrane to prevent the sensor membrane from being dissolved through interactions with the patient's blood.
