  • Patent number: 11949816
    Abstract: A system and method for intent-based active callback management using enhanced callback objects, utilizing a cloud callback system comprising at least a profile manager, callback manager, interaction manager, media server, and environment analyzer, allowing users to call businesses, agents in contact centers, or other users who are connected to a cloud callback system, and, failing to connect to the individual they called, allow for an automatic callback object to be created, whereby the two users may be automatically called and bridged together at a time when both users are available.

  • Publication number: 20060167496
    Abstract: A system and method for operating an implantable medical device in a disruptive energy field. The system includes an implantable medical device having a control processor and memory. The control processor operates the implantable medical device in a first mode when outside the disruptive energy field, and in a second mode when exposed to a disruptive energy field.

  • Publication number: 20060009811
    Abstract: Techniques for detection and treatment of myocardial ischemia are described that monitor both the electrical and dynamic mechanical activity of the heart to detect and verify the occurrence of myocardial ischemia in a more reliable manner. The occurrence of myocardial ischemia can be detected by monitoring changes in an electrical signal such as an ECG or EGM, and changes in dynamic mechanical activity of the heart. Dynamic mechanical activity can be represented, for example, by a heart acceleration signal or pressure signal. The electrical signal can be obtained from a set of implanted or external electrodes. The heart acceleration signal can be obtained from an accelerometer or pressure sensor deployed within or near the heart. The techniques correlate contractility changes detected by an accelerometer or pressure sensor with changes in the ST electrogram segment detected by the electrodes to increase the reliability of ischemia detection.

  • Publication number: 20050209865
    Abstract: A technique includes providing a first request to access a function that is associated with a first object model. The first request is converted into a second request that is associated with a second object model that is different from the first object model. The technique includes creating an object that is associated with the second object model in response to the second request.

  • Patent number: 6397100
    Abstract: We show how to determine whether there has been an axis shift in an electrocardiogram waveform and how to use this for filtering out bad electrocardiogram information and to modify an adaptive filter that can be used to adapt the filtering of such electrocardiogram information to make it available for determining physiologic conditions even after an axis shift.

  • Patent number: 6381493
    Abstract: In using electrogram signals to determine physiologic conditions like ischemia, the bad cardiac cycle information due to noise, axis shifts in the cardiac electrical axis, and the like must be removed if the electrogram signal can be made to be a good indicator. If this is accomplished through the adaptive filtering techniques shown here, the signal can be used to drive a closed loop therapy system responsive to those physiologic conditions discernible from good cardiac cycle electrocardiogram signals.

  • Patent number: 6128526
    Abstract: In determining whether a patient has ischemia or other conditions discernible in the variation occurring in the ST portion of the electrocardiogram signal, we filter out bad ST change parameters that are not changing at a rate representative of human ischemia ST change parameter rates of change. This can be used for driving therapy systems to alleviate cardiac ischemia. This filtering can be enhanced by using multiple cardiac electrical vectors for the electrogram signal vectors, and using a determination of Axis shift to modify filter parameters and the expected ranges of precursors to the ST change parameter (an ST change variable) to eliminate bad cardiac cycles, that is cardiac cycle information that may be misleading.

  • Patent number: 6115630
    Abstract: As particularly useful for implantable medical devices we teach a method and apparatus for orienting electrocardiogram input from electrodes of unknown vector orientation. This can be used for locating a fiducial point in the electrocardiogram signal by which other parameterization of measurements taken of the electrocardiogram signal can be made. It is of particular relevance in any cardio electrogram reading where the orientation of the electrogram signal is unknown, and knowledge of the orientation and a fiducial point can form the basis for useful analysis of electrogram signals for detection of physiologic conditions.
