Patent number: 11969604Abstract: A biostimulator, such as a leadless cardiac pacemaker, having a flexible circuit assembly, is described. The flexible circuit assembly is contained within an electronics compartment between a battery, a housing, and a header assembly of the biostimulator. The flexible circuit assembly includes a flexible substrate that folds into a stacked configuration in which an electrical connector and an electronic component of the flexible circuit assembly are enfolded by the flexible substrate. An aperture is located in a fold region of the flexible substrate to allow a feedthrough pin of the header assembly to pass through the folded structure into electrical contact with the electrical connector. The electronic component can be a processor to control delivery of a pacing impulse through the feedthrough pin to a pacing tip. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: PACESETTER, INC.Inventors: Wade Keller, Thomas B.

Publication number: 20220188629Abstract: Techniques of facilitating deep learning model rescaling by computing devices. In one example, a system can comprise a processor that executes computer executable components stored in memory. The computer executable components can comprise: a rescaling component; and a forecasting component. The rescaling component can determine a scaling ratio that maps low mesh resolution predictive data output by a partial differential equation (PDE)-based model for a sub-domain to high-resolution observational or ground-truth data for a domain comprising the sub-domain. The forecasting component can generate high mesh resolution predictive data for the domain with a machine-learning model using input data of the PDE-based model and the scaling ratio.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2020Publication date: June 16, 2022Inventors: Fearghal O'Donncha, Ambrish Rawat, Sean A.
