Abstract: Arrhythmic foci and other driver sites can be mapped using a multi-dimensional catheter. For instance, using a clique of three or more electrodes on the multi-dimensional catheter, an electroanatomical mapping system can identify a maximum bipolar voltage and an average unipolar voltage. The ratio of the average unipolar voltage to the maximum bipolar voltage can be interpreted as an indication of whether a cardiac location is an arrhythmic focus. Alternatively, an evaluation region can be defined about location in the patient's heart. The evaluation includes a plurality of rods, each associated with a respective E-field loop having a respective maximum and minimum amplitude bipole axes, with the rods being defined by the maximum amplitude bipole axes. For a sufficient number of rods within the evaluation region, a focus score for the evaluation region can be computed to reflect rod orientation consistency within the evaluation region.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for detecting the presence of dielectric fluids and water in a utility enclosure. The system includes a sensor assembly that may be installed in the utility enclosure. The sensor assembly has an array of capacitance sensors extending into the utility enclosure to an area where the fluids are expected to be present. The sensor assembly also has a pressure sensor that can detect the total pressure of the fluids in the enclosure. The reading from both sensors can be feed to a processor and a transmitter that sends the readings wirelessly to a receiver assembly. The receiver assembly includes a wireless receiver, a second processor connected to the wireless receiver and a display. The processor may process the readings from the sensors to calculate and report the levels of fluids in the enclosure.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a wireless gauge reader system for use on an existing electrical substation where the substation has a window through which at least one glow tube is visible. The system includes a frame fastened to the substation that surrounds at least a portion of the window, and a door in connection with the frame that allows the door to open and close.
