  • Publication number: 20210378585
    Abstract: Wearable fetal health monitoring device for determining a heath condition of a fetus based on biosignals of an expecting mother and the fetus is provided. The device includes a MEMS accelerometer that converts an acoustic wave sensed in an abdominal region into an abdominal acoustic signal. The device also includes a pulse oximeter generates a maternal photoplethysmogram (mPPG) value from a pulse sensed in the abdominal region. The device further includes a microcontroller configured to: generate a maternal phonocardiogram (mPCG) value from the abdominal acoustic signal; calculate a first maternal heart rate (mHR) value from the mPCG value; calculate a second mHR value from the mPPG value; compare the first mHR value with the second mHR value to identify a noise correction value; and apply the identified noise correction value to the mPCG value to extract a fetal phonocardiogram (fPCG) value.

  • Patent number: 10204053
    Abstract: A method may include assigning a cacheability status to a page. The page may be in a memory of a host computer communicatively connected to a processor core on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The FPGA may include one or more caches. The method may further include obtaining an instruction including a reference to the page, determining, based on the cacheability status, whether the page is non-cacheable, and resolving the reference to the page, based on determining that the page is non-cacheable, bypassing the one or more caches of the FPGA.

  • Publication number: 20090062240
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel pharmaceutical combination, containing an inhibitor of platelet aggregation and a fÊbrate, where the inhibitor of platelet aggregation is preferably either aspirin or clopidogreL Such a pharmaceutical combination of an inhibitor of platelet aggregation and a fÊbrate is expected to be useful in the treatment and/or prevention of myocardial infarction (heart attack), cardiac arrest, peripheral vascular disease (including symptomatic carotid artery disease), congestive heart failure, ischemic heart disease, angina pectoris (including unstable angina), sudden cardiac death, unstable angina, as well as cerebrovascular events such as cerebral infarction, cerebral thrombosis, cerebral ischemia and transient ischemic attack, disorders related to bypass operations (angioplasty), fitting of endovascular prostheses and restenosis, and inflammatory disorders, including arthritic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, as well as asthma or related airway or resp

  • Publication number: 20050089664
    Abstract: A card sheet including a top material having punched lines, the front side of the top material being printable. A carrier material of at least one polymer layer is directly applied as by extruding to the back side of the top material. The polymer has a stress-at-break in the range of 10 to 30 MPa and an elongation at break in the range of 10 to 120%. From the card sheet individual cards may be broken out to form high quality calling (business) cards, photograph cards, post cards or the like.
