Abstract: A computer-based system and process are disclosed for reconstructing the internal electrical behavior of a patient's heart based partly or wholly on the patient's electrocardiogram (ECG). The output of the process may include, for example, a cardiac activation map, and/or a representation of transmembrane potentials over time. The process advantageously does not require any medical imaging of the patient, and does not require any special medical equipment. For example, the patient's activation map and transmembrane potentials may be reconstructed based solely on a preexisting or newly-obtained 12-lead cardiac ECG of the patient. The process makes use of a machine learning model, such as a neural network based model, trained with actual and/or simulated ECGs and intracardiac electrical data (typically transmembrane potentials) of many thousands of patients.

Abstract: Apparatus for stretching and folding a limp fabric piece (1), having a plurality of opposed elastic bands (12,12',13,13') extending therefrom comprising a platform (2) having a foldable segment, means for folding said foldable segment relative to the platform (2),A limp fabric piece feeding plate (5) for feeding said limp fabric piece (1) to said platform (2) and holding said fabric piece (1) thereon in an extended condition and in a pre-determined position to enable eventual folding of the fabric piece (1) to produce a garment,means for moving said plate (5) horizontally or vertically,suction means located adjacent said platform (2) for applying suction to the elastic bands (12,12',13,13') extending from the fabric piece (1),elastic band gripper means associated with the suction means for gripping and holding the sucked-in elastic bands (12,12',13,13'), relative to said suction means,means for moving said suction means relative to said platform (2) to stretch said fabric piece (1),garment gripper means assoc

Abstract: The invention provides a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) synthetase preparation with a specific activity at 25.degree. C. greater than at least 75 nanomoles per minute per milligram of protein in the preparation and usually greater than at least 150 nanomoles per minute per milligram of protein in the preparation as measured utilizing flavin mononucleotide (FMN) as the substrate. The purified preparation is obtained by disrupting a cellular source of FAD synthetase activity, precipitating the protein and separating an FAD synthetase active fraction by column chromatography. FAD synthetase catalyzes the reaction of adenosine triphosphate and flavin mononucleotide to flavin adenine dinucleotide and pyrophosphate, among others.
