Abstract: An introducer hub assembly, such as an introducer hub assembly of a leadless cardiac pacemaker, including a hemostatic seal having a cross-slit configuration, is described. The hemostatic seal can be retained between a hub cap and an introducer hub. The hemostatic seal includes a first section having first slits intersecting along a longitudinal axis of the introducer hub, and a second section having second slits intersecting along the longitudinal axis. The first slits are angularly offset relative to the second slits to reduce a likelihood that fluid will leak directly through the seal. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: Tools and techniques are provided to obtain web analytics data, identify data events likely to be of interest to a user, rank identified data events, summarize data events in a form suitable for transmission to a cell phone or other limited-display mobile device, and interacting with a user of such a mobile device by sending data event summaries to the user, receiving commands from the user, and so on. Data normally presented on a computer display can be summarized into a audible format for presentation over a mobile phone speaker. Methods, systems, and other embodiments are described.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a real-time multimedia fishing tournament weigh-in data distribution system over the Internet. The system includes a data detection module for detecting components of real-time multimedia fishing tournament data. A client module residing at a tournament site obtains and distributes multimedia fishing tournament data received from the data detection module to a server module via the Internet. The server module in turn processes and streams the processed real-time multimedia fishing tournament data to one or more users coupled to the Internet.
