  • Publication number: 20250050111
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to implantable neuro stimulation devices with a feedback loop to control an amount of energy delivered into a neural tissue based on a measured evoked neural response. Stimulation electrodes deliver stimulation energy to neural tissue. A microprocessor performs closed-loop control of the stimulation energy based on a feedback signal that is indicative of an evoked neural response. A supervisor is connected to the feedback signal and detects malfunction of the stimulator based on the feedback signal. The supervisor is also connected to the stimulator to provide a status signal to the stimulator and changes the status signal to indicate malfunction upon detecting malfunction based on the feedback signal. The microprocessor adjusts the control of the stimulation energy in response to the status signal from the supervisor indicating malfunction.

  • Publication number: 20160228014
    Abstract: Electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) alone may be unable to capture the hemodynamics associated with arrhythmic events. As a result, values such as ejection fraction are acquisition dependent. The desired RR-duration determines the arrhythmia rejection. By combining real-time volume measurements with ECG recordings, beat morphologies can be categorized and a more comprehensive evaluation of ventricular function during arrhythmia can be provided.

  • Patent number: 7945376
    Abstract: In a method of maintaining temperature of engine exhaust gas from cylinders of a multi-cylinder engine (23) with a desired range, exhaust gas from a first group of cylinders (25) including at least one cylinder is routed to at least one of an EGR system (53) and an exhaust system (41). Exhaust gas from a second group of cylinders (27) including at least one of the cylinders is routed to the exhaust system (41). Routing of the exhaust gas from the first group of cylinders between the EGR system and the exhaust system is controlled to maintain a temperature of engine exhaust gas within a desired range.

  • Patent number: 6470864
    Abstract: A turbocharged internal combustion engine assembly with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) includes an air compressor driven by an exhaust turbine, an EGR line that diverts exhaust gases from an exhaust line leading from the engine to an air intake line leading to the engine from the compressor, and a combustion bypass line that conveys compressed air from the compressor to the exhaust turbine without combustion. A pressure adjusting feature disposed along at least one of the air intake line and the exhaust line maintains the pressure at the turbine inlet below the pressure at the compressor outlet and above the pressure at the air inlet of the engine. Examples of suitable pressure adjusting features include a venturi placed in the air intake line at the second point, a power turbine located along the exhaust line downstream of the exhaust turbine, a split exhaust manifold feeding unequal turbine inlets, and an orifice located along the exhaust line between the EGR line and the bypass line.
