  • Publication number: 20180211291
    Abstract: A memory module of a first computing device is configured according to a data structure representing a matrix of remarketing lists comprising a series of ranges of bid adjustment values and a series of membership duration values. Each cell in the table is associated with a remarketing list. The first computing device coalesces the matrix of remarketing lists into a series of logical remarketing lists by selecting the remarketing lists associated with one or more logical columns of the matrix and combining the selected remarketing lists into a logical remarketing list. The first computing device calls an API to transmit instructions to a remote computing device that include a representation of the series of logical remarketing lists and a representation of the matrix of remarketing lists, and enable the remote computing device to replicate the series of logical remarketing lists and the matrix of remarketing lists in a memory module.

  • Patent number: 8253279
    Abstract: An Inductive power switching supply with a digital control for active implantable medical devices is disclosed. A switching power supply (14) receives as input (12) an input voltage (Vi) from a battery (10) and delivers as output (16) an output voltage (VO). The switching power supply comprises an inductor having an inductance value (L) and a switching network (S1 . . . S5, D1 . . . D4), providing, according to a predefined topology, at least two alternative configurations including a charge phase and a discharge phase. The switching network is controlled at the end of the charging and discharging phases and the output voltage is regulated as a function of the input voltage from the nominal voltage. The switching network control does not measure current through the inductor. An analog-to-digital converter (20) is used to deliver a digital value representative of the input voltage (Vi).

  • Patent number: 5954660
    Abstract: A device for filtering cardiac activity signals which receives input signals coming from collected physiological data, and delivers at an output, for processing data, signals spreading, in the frequency domain, over a widened spectral band. A first high-pass filter is used to reduce the extension of the spectral band of the signal received at the input. A compensation stage having a frequency characteristic (32) that is inverted as compared to that of the first high-pass filter is provided. The cut-off frequency (f1) of the first high-pass filter is greater than the low cut-off frequency (fo) of the spectral analysis band. Optionally, a second high-pass filter is provided, whose characteristic (38) presents a cut-off frequency corresponding to the low frequency (fo) of the spectral band. The high frequency of the spectral band may be similarly modified.

  • Patent number: 5697960
    Abstract: A process to configure an implantable active medical device by adjusting a parameter. For each parameter to be adjusted, the steps of the process are: the determination of a code of adjustment for a given parameter value, writing of the code of adjustment to alter a circuit configuration, and the verification of the validity of the set code. A verified code is then permanently written by straining of selected diodes. The code of adjustment is thus used to adjust a circuit configuration to alter the sensed operating parameter value so that, after straining, the adjusted parameter value of the configured circuit falls in or at a desired range or value. Suitable circuit parameters include clock frequency and reference voltage levels, as are found in cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators.

  • Patent number: 5649965
    Abstract: An active implantable medical device, particularly a cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator, having a protection circuit that is effective against electromagnetic perturbations of external origin. The active implantable device is characterized in that at least all active components of the protection circuit (58, 60, 94, 98) are integrated components in a monolithically integrated microchip (16) including a control signal and circuits to commute selectively signals collected by external electrodes to the device for processing. In particular, the commutation circuits comprise static switches (24, 24', 28, 28', 38, 38', 40, 40', 44, 44', 46, 46', 50, 50', 54), and the control signal is a control voltage (VSUB, VCC) that is greater than the voltage (VPILE) of the battery of the device.
